Help save Roman, Pass it on.

Please help save Roman!

My girl @govaxyourself is drowning in vet bills after her cat needed emergency surgery two nights ago. He’d somehow swallowed about five feet of yarn (that’s quite a lot of yarn for a cat to swallow) and it had gotten caught in his digestive tract, making him very, very ill. The cost of the surgery was already crushing, but they hadn’t even had him back home a full day before they needed to rush him back to the emergency vet with a fever and an internal infection.

Here are some of his vet bills as of now. He’s still in the hospital, and every day he has to stay only adds more fees.

@govaxyourself has maxed out her credit cards and taken out a new one to be able to pay for her cat’s medical care. The current total is nearing $6,000 already, and she’s going to have to apply for another card soon. She’s set up »a GoFundMe«, and everything raised will go directly toward paying off these vet bills and any further charges accrued. If, by some miracle of generosity, more money is raised than she needs, every last extra cent will be donated to the Humane Society where Roman was originally adopted.

Any reblogs and signal boosting you can do is greatly appreciated, and if you have the means, please consider »donating to her GoFundMe«! Every tiny bit helps so much!

Very interesting, I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them. 

Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.” 

“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”

“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”

It’s just. 

50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job. 

This is on my wish list of places I hope to visit one day but probably won't get to. Dreams are just Dreams though, until we are able to make them come true.

Fascinating, I had know idea

I love this new revelation.

You know how everyone’s perception of dinosaurs shifted when the public was introduced to the fact that they probably had feathers? I’m feeling that way again except this time about lips.

T-Rex without lips:

I need some more of this in my life.

Good advice for any writer or those aspiring to write.

How do you start a second draft? I just finished my first one and I'm having a hard time getting in there to start changing things because it just seems like a lot to sift through

Print out your book on paper.

Then find time when you won’t be disturbed, and read it. With a pen, or a pencil. And anything you don’t like as a reader, make a note in the margin, or change it on the page.

Look particularly for things that you were hoping would be better. Mark them in the margin too. 

And then work out what you need to do on the second draft. Basically, anything you didn’t like as a reader you get to fix as a writer.

Saw this on Facebook. Reposting for the PSA.

Beautifully illustrated and written story comic. I would love to see this in full graphic novel format or as a written novella. It's such a cool concept.

This has to be my new favorite thread/story I've discovered on this crazy app.

This just hit me. I’m so Southern my family has a matriarch and no one in the family knows for sure how old she is. We all also got into a heated debate about the existence of her glass eye (still not confirmed). She’s in her 90s- we think- beat cancer, outlived two husbands, had seven children and has outlived three of them, survived The Great Depression, and either her dad or her grandfather was a full blooded Cherokee Indian… possibly the tribe’s leader but no one really knows for sure.

She also once lit into my dad’s school bus driver, cussing him black and blue about how he treated the kids and didn’t realize she had a butcher’s knife in her hand until he RAN away. She didn’t have any more trouble out of him.

I cannot get over how dynamically beautiful this moving graphic piece of fan art is. Bravo!

This is one of my all time favorite films, it is hilarious.

All very true

“Why you should fall to your knees and worship a librarian!! Ok, sure. We’ve all got our little preconceived notions about who librarians are and what they do. Many people think of librarians as diminutive civil servants, scuttling about “Sssh-ing” people and stamping things. Well, think again buster. Librarians have degrees. They go to graduate school for Information Science and become masters of data systems and human/computer interaction. Librarians can catalog anything from an onion to a dog’s ear. They could catalog you. Librarians wield unfathomable power. With a flip of the wrist they can hide your dissertation behind piles of old Field and Stream magazines. They can find data for your term paper that you never knew existed. They may even point you toward new and appropriate subject headings. People become librarians because they know too much. Their knowledge extends beyond mere categories. They cannot be confined to disciplines. Librarians are all-knowing and all-seeing. They bring order to chaos. They bring wisdom and culture to the masses. They preserve every aspect of human knowledge. Librarians rule. And they will kick the crap out of anyone who says otherwise.”

Some sage advice that many people need to hear right now.

What happens when anxiety and depression takes over and you just can't write anything? I wanted to use lockdown to my advantage but I'm not well and I'm sad. Any advice?

Just know you aren't alone in this. I've written a fraction of what I should have written, over the last 4 months. The anxiety is real, there are many things to be anxious and depressed about.

So be kind to yourself. Set yourself small targets and goals. Be happy when you succeed, and forgive yourself when you fail.

What a beautiful comic, about a deity I've never heard of, and with an ending I honestly didn't see coming.

Here’s HSTHETE, the 24 hour comic I drew this year!  Thanks to everybody who followed along on twitter this weekend as I posted these pages <3

I felt a lot of nostalgia watching these, one of my favorites. Beautifully rendered and animated inked drawings.

Absolutely amazing work, I'd love to have a wall full of those branches in the last photo.

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
