things that still freak me out: those sinks americans have in their kitchens that you can destroy stuff with
Honestly this post has been on my mind all day. Those weird destructosinks for people with too much money are apparently common in America. And Americans get defensive over them.
Well don’t come crying to me when your wean gets eaten by the fucking kitchen sink.
hOLY SHIT WHAT IF U TRY AND CLEAN THE PLUG AND TURN IT ON IM SO SCARED
Okay it took me for-fucking-ever to figure out wtf you guys are talking about are you talking about garbage disposals? Like down the drain??
with the spinny knives
No knives, just a dull piece of spinny metal.
you realise it takes the same amount of force to cut thru a carrot as a finger
i dont know what you do over there but we usually don’t stick our hands in our sink drains
who’s going around fisting sinks anyway
“don’t come crying to me when your wean gets eaten by the fucking kitchen sink”
is that person saying they fuck kitchen sinks? is that what I just read? they put their dick in the sink’s drain and they fuck it?
dont sinkshame
Child. Wean means child.
Okay, so you put your CHILD in a sink and stuff them down the drain? That’s… that’s definitely worse.
omg dont be ashamed at all!! Hands are generally tough to get used to, lots of artists struggle with it! so dont be ashamed i feel you.
and I actually have made a hand anatomy guide before in fact! If you want to get better at drawing hands I def recommend you learn the basic anatomy first. Please check out the ones I made, I try to make it simple and easy to understand:
There’s my guide to the anatomy, but here’s some more tips that I’ve noted to myself that I’d like to include
First off, I’d like to just note on the fingers: if you pay close attention to your own hand, you may notice the fingers are ever ever so slightly curved inward. It’s a very subtle detail, but I noticed that, despite how slight it is, it can make a hand look more lively, and less stiff.
Second, the “M” on the palm! Your hand moves in many ways, and because it does it creates creases in your hand. The most prominent creases appear to make an M shape; this is handy to remember for what I’m going to talk about next. (It also could be a “W” I guess, or to be more specific a “ )X( “; just think of it in whatever way helps you remember!)
SO now that you see the M, draw your hand as a basic blocked shape and add your details. As you do, you can see that the M divides the palm into four basic parts!
When the hand moves, parts A, B, or C of the palm, alone or in different combos, will create the general poses that the hands do normally. These parts are the parts that move, with D being stationary, no matter what!
Here’s a chart of all the possible combos. Once you have down what part of the hand moves for a certain pose, you can change up the fingers and tweak it a bit to do what you need to make it more specific!
This is simply my method of drawing hands. God knows there are hundreds of tutorials out there by other artists, but personally, this way helps me the best (after learning the anatomy first).Â
This way I can divide the hand and combine the parts in any such way I need!Â
Hands take a lot of effort to grapple, and you need to practice them a lot, especially foreshortening of the hand; that’s really something you need to learn through your own studies. Look at your own hands, draw hands from life, from magazines, shows, comics; just draw hands! You’ll eventually figure out a method that works best for you. So to get better at drawing hands; draw hands!! And don’t stress over it, have fun with it!
name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably notÂ
ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to thinkÂ
needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at workÂ
White people specifically need to reblog this, I don’t CARE if it makes you uncomfortable–that’s the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE
THIS is what i mean when I say animal rights groups are absolute garbage that waste time, resources and money, all whilst doing nothing for animal’s welfare.Â
peta have ruined a person’s life and career over a fucking photo. This is what peta does with it’s donated money and resources. This is what you’re supporting when you support animal rights groups.
This is such an ignorant and dense statement. You want to slam animal rights groups? By all means, target PETA. Call them out all you want. But the VAST majority of animal rights groups fight tooth and nail for animals to have some semblance of respect and not be treated as tools and products in a world that sees nothing past the price tag. I can tell you know nothing of animal rights organizations by the generalized anger you’re displacing about PETA. Don’t disrespect the hard work animal rights activists do through rescue, sanctuaries, law, politics, and public awareness
Rescues, sanctuaries, law advocates, etc is the work of animal WELFARE groups. Animal rights groups (ELF, PETA, ALF, HSUS, protection for furbearers, mercy for animals, and even greenpeace) are classified as domestic terrorists.Â
Maybe if they did some good you could defend this, but the issue is most of these groups have charges of falsifying footage and criminal cruelty to stage the “awareness” videos they produce.Â
Your local humane society, and animal welfare organizations are the ones on the ground rescuing animals.Â
HSUS is facing fraud and racketeering charges relating mostly to taking hundreds of thousands in donations to help victims of Katrina. Not a single cent they can account for helped any animal and worse they interfered with real rescue groups and put them in danger.
 Mercy for Animals is under heavy suspicion of having staged the famous skinned alive tanuki video. A lot of their claims and even the footage which they did release (over an hour of cut footage was withheld even with court orders for it) contradicts their story.Â
the man has no clue what he is doing and has obviously never done this beforeÂ
he is in street clothes not a butcher outfit like a man nearbyÂ
onlookers are confused asking in the local dialect why he is trying to skin it alive and commenting how abnormal that is which has been translated by native speakersÂ
look at the pile. Why is it the ONLY bloody animal in the pile? Because it’s the only one that was skinned alive. The rest are bloodless which is how skinning a dead animal is.Â
it is more difficult, dangerous and results in a lower value fur… there is no rational reason someone would do more work for less pay.Â
PETA has been caught using clips from court confirmed staged films where criminal cruelty charges were laid as well as misleading about the origins of real cruelty claiming footage shot at a fox urine/musk farm of foxes with injuries to the bone is a “normal fur farm”.Â
The real situation was these were animals seized from a farm that had been shut down for cruelty before peta arrived and shot their footage before the vet arrived to humanely euthanize the animals via lethal injection.
 Protector for Furbearers has criminal charges for catching coyotes and setting them loose in a small pen filled with barbaric traps that are never really used and filmed them suffering for hours in their completely staged film They Take So Long to Die.Â
How about Arctik films who has criminal charges and a signed statement from the man who clubbed a baby seal and skinned it alive was paid to do so by animal rights groups. The footage is still used by PETA and HSUS.Â
ALF has caused massive environmental damage mass releasing captive mink from fur farms into the wild. The release mink died slowly from hunger and many were run over. Those that survived? Decimated the populations of many species and may have caused the extinction of a bird.Â
Animal welfare is good- animal rights groups are bad.Â
Ps I’m an ex-member of animal rights groups for a reason. They hurt way more animals and people than they do any good.Â
PETA uses donations toÂ
buy freezers to store the majority of the animals they take in and immediately killÂ
to make falsified ads and try bully kids into being veganÂ
pay bail on those who fire bomb labs- with people inside. You may not agree with animal testing but killing or harming someone who is just doing their job and maybe the only way they can make ends meet? Try justify that to their families.
Thanks @lilrabbitssong. I really really good break down on the difference between animal rights and animal welfare groups and why it’s important to know that difference.Â
Reblogging this version with added spacing with express permission from @lilrabbitssong, because it’s super important for people to realize that radical behavior from animal rights groups is not limited to specific organizations. It’s the MO of the entire movement.Â
It’s really hard to find a source for the HSUS / Katrina investigation – most of the news articles from that period aren’t online anymore and weren’t archived by Wayback Machine. Here’s the best one I could find, at least documenting that the investigation into how HSUS used their funds did occur.Â
The mink release this post talks about was the one in 1998 in the UK.  However, it just happened again – 38,000 mink were released into the wild from a fur farm in Minnesota, and an estimate 15,000 of them are already dead. While no animal rights group has taken credit for the release yet (which eventually tends to happen in these cases), it’s being investigated by the FBI as it falls under the Federal Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act statute.Â
Organizations that advocate for animal welfare are very, very different from animal rights organizations.Â
unpaid internships are oppressive and should be illegal i’m not being cute or funny they are 100% designed to reward people with greater access to resources and i’m fundamentally opposed to hiring for unpaid labor every internship should be required to provide at least a nominal stipend
