so, there’s a guy at the fabrication facility who’s currently got a thing for fucking around with 3d models of his own hands and casting the product in resin or plastic. really cool shit tbh.
the other day i was wearing, like, cutoff overalls and he sees the tattoo on my thigh and has the usual reaction—"oh, cute ca—oh my god it has human hands"—and then he says! he also has a 3d model of his cat! and he’s decided to put his own hands on his cat’s body and print that in resin! coolest fucking shit ever im so excited to get to rub my grimy little hands all over the final product
and bc im excited, at lunch that day i tell my Future Wife about it, and there’s a long pause, and then
“you got who to decide to do what?”
his name, you see, is thor.
the really wild thing about the guy is that he’s, like, cis. his actual given name his parents gave him at birth was thor, and it actually fits him, like if u told me he was straight up a visiting god i’d be like “yeah ok that makes sense”. he has a benevolently chaotic energy of just, I Have An Idea! I Will Follow Through On It Immediately! that’s super pleasant to be around imho, like he just does shit, no forethought—it’s very relatable—and he’s an exceptionally strong young man, and he ran down a flight of stairs the other day while shouting “fare þee well!” at me over his shoulder
You met Thor. Like, this is how he’s fucking around as a mortal right now.
he just…. crammed from textbooks to learn how to do the things he was supposed to know
During Demara’s impersonation as Brother John Payne of the Christian Brothers of Instruction (also known as Brothers of Christian Instruction), Demara decided to make the religious teaching order more prominent by founding a college in Alfred, Maine. Demara proceeded on his own, and actually got the college chartered by the state. He then promptly left the religious order in 1951, when the Christian Brothers of Instruction offended him by not naming him as rector or chancellor of the new college and chose what Demara considered to be a terrible name for the college.[5]:115–119 The college Demara founded, LaMennais College in Alfred, Maine, began in 1951 (when Demara left); in 1959 it moved to Canton, Ohio, and in 1960, became Walsh College (now Walsh University).

do students at that university, like, know? they must, right?
He described his own motivation as “Rascality, pure rascality”.
Over half the prison population of the Orleans Parish Prison “went missing” because they weren’t evacuated during Katrina. They were left locked in their cells. Those inmates died. Over half. 517 of 1000.
– They clean your air – They give you something to name – They give you something to take care of – They teach you about care, needs, and resources – They make you look like you’re good at decorating
Here are some of mine:
But some people, because they’re overwhelmed or simply can’t figure out how to start, think that plants are out of their reach.

– Honey is mostly sugar (WoW!) it is 80% sugar and 20% water (double WoW!)
– There are over 20,000 species of bees, but only 4 make HONEY
-Honey is the ONLY food that contains all the substances you need to survive (Including WATER)
-Children under the age of 1 should not eat honey… why? because sometimes it contains bad stuff called botulism and can cause them to get botulism poisoning (that sucks, even infants should taste the deliciousness that is honey)
-Honey will crystallize under optimum temperatures (this has a lot to do with how you store it)
-Bees produce honey to eat during the winter when there are no flowers and no nectar for them.
-A honeybee would only need an ounce of honey to be able to fuel a flight around the world (this makes for a very cultural bee!)
-A typical beehive can make up to 400 pounds of honey a year! (Wowza!)
This reads like it was written by a bee and I’m 100% here for it
This is singlehandedly THE BEST compliment I have ever received 🙂
a soft girl! lots of gradients but at least they didn’t shade with black. would call her a friend! 4/5
very minimalist, which is an intriguing design choice, but doesn’t work for our friend the whale. also i can’t tell if that’s a mouth or a mustache 2/5
microsoft why do you feel the need to outline everything with thick black lines. also no whale should bend in that manner. 1/5 you’re hurting her
a small girl! she looks like she could use a friend. please befriend her 4/5
a very realistic lady! she looks like she has been at her breeding grounds for a long time with her calf. they’ll be ready to go to the feeding grounds soon! 5/5
a sperm whale, albeit with some artistic license in coloring! she looks like she’s not having fun. why is she sad? 3/5 please let her smile
a blue whale! thank you facebook for drawing attention to this endangered species. she just wants to eat krill and have a good time. 4/5 save her friends!
another blue whale, this time a little darker! she looks like she has just taken a mouth full of krill. good for her! 4/5
a cheeky girl…she’s going to steal ur krill 1/5 why is she teal
see apple this is how you do a tasteful gradient 5/5
I love….. adding unnecessary e’s to words like spicey or babey. ……. it makes the words pop
Unnecessary, redundant, sloppy, visually displeasing, and a sign of not understanding the English language. But yeah, they “pop” I guess. Just like my assumption that you arent average.
oooo!!! buzzkill syndrome, i see. a true example, what a case study.
Go outside
The extra “e” is either unnecessary or redundant. Take your pick.
or its an an accente markere you pickeled brine shrimpe.
ariana grande may be privileged in her wealth and status but the number of devastations and stressors she has endured in the past year and a half, many of which occurred in quick succession over the past month or so, is enough to strain the resilience of any person and she’s managed to come back again and again and again anyway. so miss me with that dismissive attitude towards her suffering right now and check in again when you understand that her choice to retreat from the absolute venom of the public eye is completely valid. show some compassion for a fellow human.
The man holding this #BlackLivesMatter sign is Richmond (CA) police chief Chris Magnus, whose department has not lost an officer or killed a citizen since 2007, the year after he took over. This is not an accident, this peacefulness is the direct result of his leadership. Police departments across the country should be looking to his department as an example to be followed.
‘Chief Magnus changed the department from one that focused on “impact teams” of officers who roamed rough neighborhoods looking to make arrests to one that required all officers to adopt a “community policing” model, which emphasizes relationship building.
“We had generations of families raised to hate and fear the Richmond police, and a lot of that was the result of our style of policing in the past. It took us a long time to turn that around, and we’re seeing the fruits of that now. There is a mutual respect now, and some mutual compassion.”’
They also do regular officer trainings with roleplay scenarios and airsoft guns to teach them how to de-escalate, how to avoid firing when fired upon, and how to deal with people with weapons in a way that doesn’t end with a shootout.
They also apparently go through the details of officer-involved shootings elsewhere, picking them apart and using them as teaching tools for what NOT to do or what the officer could have done to avoid shooting the person.
Essentially, they take a proactive approach to not shooting people and put time, money, and effort into it. Richmond isn’t a low-crime area. Other cities could follow their model and almost certainly see results.
Who’d have thought it would take so much work to learn how to just … NOT shoot people
These are the sort of police officers who deserve respect. The ones who take the time to build a relationship with the community they’re supposed to be protecting, and work to actually protect people instead of just shooting anyone who looked scary.
In before anyone tries to say that the only reason this works is because Richmond is probably like “not as bad” as other places in the US
