A Kinetic Sculpture By Tim Lewis

A lady

these photos do not do the justice bestowed upon those ol titles but man are they shiny

if any folks are strugglin to find more images of these fellas try aiming on bar for ‘peach weevils’

coming from that title alone, fickle things make a menace for many fruit trees alongside peaches but

back to the title though, have a timelapse of a six spotted leaf rollin weevil preparing a leaf for egg housin.

Purple leaf-rolling weevil, Rhynchites bacchus, Attelabidae

Found throughout Europe and into Asia

damn, sure is a beautiful night. weird how i just heard a gunshot coming from the lake though

These are all actual conversations I had with @mohammedayesh . In fact, while I was working on finishing this comic today, he sent me a video of bomber planes flying above them. There is not a single place in Gaza that is safe.

I'm sorry for being so sappy, but I wanted to show you guys something.

When I first donated to PCRF in December 2023, it was barely 10% close to its goal. Now in March 2024, they're also 100%. Everyone of you has helped support a better future for Gaza.

They're so close to their goal. Please donate or share this post so that they can get to their goal🇵🇸

My little brothers have not comprehended what is happening to them from this humanitarian disaster and we have never lived this life before. We are living the worst tragic moments and hell has not stopped yet.

Help Doaa Jad al-Haq and her family survive genocide!

Doaa is a 38 mother to a young son, Omar, who is nonverbal and autistic and needs special treatment to deal with his intense trauma from the genocide. Doaa says Omar sometimes screams when he remembers the bombs. She does not have the funds to cover his treatment on her own.

Doaa ran a sewing and embroidery business prior to the genocide and is currently raising funds to buy equipment to start it again. The goal for this campaign is only $12000 USD and if she meets it she will have the tools to earn money herself.

Doaa and Omar evacuated Gaza and now live in Egypt, but the entire rest of their family is stuck under siege and constant bombardment. She is incredibly worried about them. Again, she does not have the funds to evacuate them herself so we must help her. Doaa is also worried that her tumblr account will get terminated because she's Palestinian. Under this much stress, I can imagine it is impossible to consistently campaign to raise money.

Doaa's sister is Aseel @aseel680 who I have posted about before on this blog. @magnus-rhymes-with-swagness keeps in touch and frequently posts about her. Here is a post with a list of all the gofundmes that have been opened for this family.

Here is Doaa's business fund

Here is Doaa's survival fund

She is vetted.

Note: Doaa's survival fund uses Swedish krona. Take note of the currency exchange. Do not pride yourself on donating pennies.

$5 USD = kr52 SEK

$10 USD = kr104 SEK

A vaporeon study

Vaporeon is one of my favorite Pokémon. my first introduction to it was in pokemon red, where it looked like this:

(sprites from Red,Green and Blue)

So in my head, vaporeon looked like this:

It was also somewhat like this in the card game too:

with the neck frill and tail looking like soft goldfish fins, with a long snout, very elegant.

But the game's graphics evolved and Vaporeon changed to look more like the Ken Sugimori art. And eventually making the transition to 3D.

None of these redesigns are bad... but... the ear fins... oh the ear fins...

in the original sprite art, they actually looked like ears. and all my life I've been representing them in my art like this:

very pleasing to my eyes, but the reality is, they have never been represented to be like this in the games. That's fine, but what gen 6 did to its 3D model, to me, is murder!

Look at its ear!

Not only is it just a polygon with a flat texture hanging like a flag, if it wanted to represent an ear, it should have been facing the other way!!! like so:

It shouldn't, but this design "flaw" bothers me a lot!

and if we're talking about design, the neck frill looks a lot more like a firm fin now and not as soft, so it really should look like this instead:

It's a water creature, it needs to be hydrodynamic!

IDK folks, this is just my silly opinion. Feel free to agree or disagree with me but I'd love to know if it's just me who is bothered by this.

thanks for reading.

where the hell is that one image that’s like : “the show made for literal racists vs the fanart” but it’s yaoi, like that but reversed for hb / hh and p&s

graph that's going to piss everyone off but im not wrong
