WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

A recent study found that children who transitioned young retained stable gender identities over time. But the fact that nearly a fifth of those in the group did not ought to give advocates of irreversible medical interventions pause

Adjusted for inflation Spirited Away cost $22 million to make. The Triplets of Belleville cost $16.5 million, Cartoon Saloon's Wolfwalkers cost $14.28 million, and Oscar winner Flow cost only $4 million. These critically acclaimed, made by real people films, cost less than this pile of actual vomit.

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

I love the way art creates more art by existing. It's like a microdosed religious experience. You get moved to creation. If I see an amazing painting, I have to paint. If I read a great comic, I have to make comics. Good art awakens something inside of you that you have to let out.

Here's the mini-practice-map, on basswood, I've been putzing with in the evenings. The largest mountain on the largest island had some hideous errors that I corrected last night. I was considering not sharing it if I couldn't correct those. I still have some shadows and highlights to add.

A photo of a, work in progress, practice, and simplistic fantasy style map drawn/painted using watercolor pencils on 4 inch by 6 inch basswood. The woodgrain is evident and a feature of the piece.

The map features a central ocean/sea cutting diagonally across the image from the lower left to the upper right with the landmasses bordering it on either side, with the left/topmost occupying around 50% of the area.

The ocean/sea contains three islands, one of which has two mountains indicated. The largest mountain also sports a cavern indicator. (black, rounded, doorway-like symbol.)

The main landmasses sport mountain ranges and forests running roughly parallel to the ocean/sea, with the bulk of the upper left being grassy and hilly plains. Amid the mountains and forests are various lakes and rivers.

The righthand side sports a minimalistic black compass rose comprised of the letter N at the top, and a half-barb arrow pointing upwards indicating that's North on the map. The arrow in set on a circle with a crossbar implying east and west are right and left, respectively.

Duolingo's CEO has been vocal about replacing human staff with trash AI that's more likely to get translations wrong and make your learning subpar. Stop using Duolingo. Uninstall it. Leave comments and reviews that you'll come back once they put people first again.
