Squidward only ever makes artwork based off his visage, it's all very surface level and lacks any emotional depth
Squidward should start making artwork based on how Squidward feels and not how Squidward looks yknow? I feel like he's experimented plenty with self portraits, but none of them really say much about Squidward as a person yknow
got drunk last night and got really emotional over Squidward's potential and how much he holds himself back
twilight sparkle is a catgirl in spirit
thank you for coming to my ted talk
8a8e you forgor the loafs. the loafs are the 8iggest kittygirl thing ever.
Your honour, I rest my case
I never watched the Simpsons. like, I caught a few random episodes late at night when I was at sleepovers at friends' houses as a kid, but I wasn't allowed to watch it growing up. was there a weirdly serious episode where Homer Simpson commits infidelity? like...is that canon? he unambiguously cheats on Marge with a woman from work?
if yes: is that normal content for the Simpsons
if no: what fucking universe did I quantum leap into that night bc I remember like, specific scenes and interactions
i am broken. i am shattered. i am a whimpering, sobbing mess. i am a faint whisper, a mere memory of a man. my soul has been blown to pieces by powers far beyond its capacity for comprehension. i just finished watching episode 38 of season 1 of Bluey.

actually, the reason why the green brothers are tuberculosisposting is because theres a drug for treating multiple drug resistant tuberculosis (common in developing countries) thats going to have its patent expire soon and the patent holder, johnson and johnson, is trying to do some disney mickey mouse shit to hold their patent for a few more years. so hank and john have been talking about that a ton to spread awareness of the situation
ok i actually knew all of that but it occurs to me that some of my followers might be unaware. so. if that’s you, now it’s not!
while i’m here, i guess i might as well tell you all that the green brothers sell coffee and socks and all the proceeds go towards improving healthcare in sierra leone. i’m not a subscriber myself, but as soon as they start selling weed or toilet paper or something like that i’m gonna be all over it.

Mister Green, could you give me three segues that will help me spread the word about Tuberculosis at a dinner party?
sizzlingsandwichperfection-blog answered:
Yes.
I mean god, yes, if there’s anything I can do in this world, it’s transition a dinner party conversation to tuberculosis.
- Someone brings up the health of U.S. Presidents or Presidential candidates. Things start to get heated. It is uncomfortable. You say, “But of course pre-1958, the health of U.S. Presidents was always more fragile than today regardless of their age. When Franklin Pierce was elected President in 1852, his VP was in Cuba dying of tuberculosis; his secretary of state had just lost a son to tuberculosis; his wife was disabled by tuberculosis; and that he himself was sick with tuberculosis?”
- “Speaking of the Eras tour, did you know that the Era of Consumption never ended because tuberculosis is the leading cause of infectious disease death, killing 1.6 million people each year even though it is curable?”
- “I notice you haven’t taken off your cowboy hat even after sitting down to dinner, which communicates to me that you would like to participate in cowboy-hat-related conversation. Did you know that the Stetson hat only exists because John B. Stetson traveled West in search of a cure for his consumption?”
All of those people around him are demons
hey guys! here’s some fun things i learned from this article about Dion Diamond:
- he did these sit-ins by himself. like idk about you, but i always thought of sit-ins as organized by groups, what kind of bravery does it take, man
- he didn’t tell anyone about it, like he was no glory-seeker about this. his parents didn’t even know until reporters started calling them up like “hey, did you know your son is in jail?
- when someone called the cops he’d skedaddle out the back door although he was sent to prison multiple times
- the last time he got arrested was in Baton Rouge, and the cops were so sick of him that they told inmates they’d put in a good word for anyone who gave Diamond a hard time. (the inmates didn’t take the bait.)
- he’s still alive!
hark, a hero of our times!
there's something really geometrically pleasing to me about blackletter calligraphy
Why is z like that, is there really nothing better?
yeah i know but like. look at the alternatives. make your own if you think you can do better.
not only do i think all the alternatives you’ve shown are at least a little bit better, but i even went and made one myself
is there still room for improvement? yeah, probably, but it’s leagues above just randomly introducing a barely visible line to “solve” all your problems
ok so a lot of people have similar opinions and i’m realizing i should probably explain a bit more about what i was doing here.
the actual historical reason a lot of medieval calligraphy looked like this is because they were using pens with wide nibs that were at an angle relative to the paper. Like, here’s how they wrote a lowercase e:
(screencaps stolen from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZzWvFes5yg)
so a big part of what i was trying to do here was make something that actually would have been easy to write this way, without having to rotate the nib or make too many pen strokes.
this raises the question of how people actually historically wrote the letter z. the answer, as far as i can tell, is that they didn’t:
this is the word “Ezekiel,” spelled “Eʒekiel,” from an early copy of the king james bible. they basically attached a massive tail onto the bottom of the letter “z” to make it easier to write, and that’s where the "ʒ“ symbol comes from.
Hey, so as someone who actually does blackletter calligraphy I just wanted to let you know that it's perfectly possible to write a modern z in a blacklettery fashion (i.e. without changing the angle of the pen). Look:
This is kinda hard to translate into that triangle grid but the best attempt is the first one xidnaf posted though. I do however take some issue with your x. You could write an x that way, that's not how it is usually written. Usually the line going from top right to bottom left you be a single thin stroke either horizontally or, if you're trying to make a more modern font, at a 45° angle.
Also the traditional z with the longer tail isn't really any easier to write. It does look a lot better though imo.
The left is a somewhat sloppy x using blackletter strokes. This is how I would write an x if I was trying to write in a font that's easier for a modern reader. To the right is very roughly how I would write xidnaf's proposed x. I don't think I need to explain why the left is better.
I'll grant that I didn't write it that well, but it'd still be pretty clunky even if you had a ton of experience writing this particular form.
Point taken, but for the record I like the look of the X on the right better.
