If anyone wants to see the sculpture that’s eaten at least 100 hours of my life this semester, here it is. Radial [cast iron, polyurethane resin, strontium powder, ceramic, concrete, wood. 2018]

Original 3D model of the AT&T Building in Nashville obtained from Thingiverse. Remixing of mesh done by me.Yeah, it glows.

It was a controlled disaster from the word go.

The model didn’t print right three times (24 hours wasted in printing time each time) then they didn’t fill my mold with iron all the way up during the iron pour, so I had to improvise. I backfilled the mold with glowing resin, but that bonded to the ceramic shell mold, so I had to excavate the whole bitch out of solid ceramic, which took 18 hours, and then it snapped in two while I was going that, so I had to work with THAT, and the ceramic was never gonna get totally gone, so I had to incorporate that into the sculpture some how. I settled for a crystal formation growing out of concrete with the ceramic as, like, the cortex of the crystal or something. But then the concrete patcher wouldn’t dry, and kept trying to slide off the wood that was supposed to look like the exterior cortex, which was also refusing to sand down and then there were issues with the varnish.

BUT IT’S DONE AND I LOVE IT.

This is how you improvise. Awesome job!

I think it’s safe to assume that White female “monster fuckers” are probably heavy into interracial porn featuring Black men.

Lmfao did you stretch before that reach?

Also are you implying that black men are similar to monsters? The fuck dude???

They’re insinuating that white women see black men as monsters. Probably because they simply can’t fathom a (let’s face it: fictional) kink that’s not somehow centred around humans, so the thought goes:

“What kind of people would fuck actual monsters? They’re not human, how can you wanna fuck something that’s not human?! Oh! White people see black people as inhuman monsters. And society has set up the ‘predatory black male preying on innocent helpless white woman’ stereotype. So these people claiming they want to fuck monsters are probably white women who are also really into porn featuring a white woman like themselves and a black man aka a monster. Riddle solved!”

Which is… a hell of a lot assumptions. And completely discounting the kink of ‘it doesn’t look human and that’s the reason why I like it’.

I mean seriously, I like tentacle fic. Wtf do black men have to do with tentacles? Nothing. Bleh. I’m so tired of people wanting to somehow connect everything in other people’s lives and sexuality to racism, queerphobia, pedophilia or some other moral failing.

“Wtf do Black men have to do with tentacles”?

Are you seriously THAT unaware of the stereotypes about us and the ways they’re talked about?

Tentacles, seriously? Forgive me, I’m not from the US, so I have no idea about the stereotypes. When I think tentacles I think octopus, not whatever mental gymnastics one would have to perform to imagine a human man.

I think they’re talking about the “big dick” stereotype, which does not in fact cover penises which are prehensile and longer than one’s entire body. At least not within the realms of the actual stereotype; porn with people of various races having unrealistically large endowments is a thing, and prehensile ones too (I know Homestuck fandom’s tentabulge fixation), but I don’t think anyone literally thinks that applies to real black men.

I don’t. I think of monster porn I think if ACTUAL monster… not humans.

OP you can not be serious right now. what the fuck is wrong with you

I’m big into a lot of monster based porn and uh… I hate irl porn, period. It just doesn’t do it for me. Same for my wife. Either way, as long as a person treats people like people, what does their taste in porn matter?

This is quite possibly the stupidest claim I’ve ever read on this website.

How do you feel about the ace spectrum? People on my Discord server tried to convince me ace is a spectrum and that some ace people have sex. I find their opinions to be bullshit, personally.

I believe in asexuality being a valid sensation but I don’t see it as a spectrum. Either you feel sexual attraction or you don’t. Feeling it from “time to time” is not asexual, after all.

But yes, as an asexual one can have sex, only that sex is not very important to an asexual from what I got.

Asexuality is not chastity, and sex drive and sexual attraction does not nesseccarily correlate.
But, as an asexual, I do need to say: Its not a spectrum. Its a simple yes or no.

Bad post. The whole ace spectrum is valid. YALL ARE GOOD!! Don’t let people tell you you ‘aren’t really ace’ if you’re grey ace or sex positive!

If you feel sexually aroused from time to time but not always, then congrats, you are a just a regular homosexual/heterosexual/bisexual person. No need to force a label on you for not thinking about having sex 24/7.

need a bond to feel sexually aroused? – not asexual

care more about personality than one’s body but still feel arousal? – not asexual

just needing time until getting turned on by someone? – not asexual

If you experience sexual attraction, AT ALL, of ANY KIND, congratulations, you’re not ace. It IS a yes or no. I don’t get what’s so hard to understand about this.

Acerola’s Mimikyu is an actual ghost, so it can float and pass through solid objects unlike regular Mimikyu such as Jessie’s

“I see! Mimi’s a ghost, huh?”

This raises so many questions…

A Ghost Ghost?

WAIT

WAIT

then…

then what the hell are Ghost Pokemon if they AREN’T GHOSTS

I AM JESSIE HERE

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN WHAT IS GOING ON

I’ve assumed ghost pokemon aren’t actual ghosts, but rather creatures with ghost-like attributes. They’re not spirits of a dead person (with a few exceptions if the pokedex is being honest, but even then they’re still a pokemon and behave as such).

Kind of like how a poltergeist isn’t generally considered to be an actual spirit, but rather a manifestation of strong negative emotions. It’s a “ghost”, but it’s not a GHOST ghost.

So in this case, as “actual ghost” maybe she means the ghost of a ghost-type pokemon. If they’re not dead to begin with, it makes more sense.

But now my question is does this Mimikyu ghost function as a normal pokemon? Can it battle?

Because if it can, then what the fuck.

Happy Arbor Day from Redwood National and State Parks – home of the world’s tallest trees. These towering trees sprout from a seed the size of a tomato seed, and they can grow to a height of 367 feet. That’s about the size of 35-story skyscraper. These trees’ ability to regenerate allows it to prosper despite insects and fire, and ultimately to survive as a species. Visitors to California’s Redwood National and State Parks and Headwaters Forest Reserve often come to just see these world-famous trees, but nothing prepares them for a hike in the ethereal forests of massive redwoods shrouded in fog with light streaming through the trees. Check out more remarkable trees on public lands: on.doi.gov/trees

What a stunning picture! What a stunning place! The redwood forests are definitely on my list of places I need to go.

I didn’t even think this was a photo at first holy moly

i hate this dude with a burning passion. its just the same girl all over again. hes some russian dude who lives in japan n everyone thinks this is dope but like its all the exact same piece. he makes a living out of this

this is what he makes per week. for drawing the same anime girl over and over again

yall really think this is dope

meanwhile artists who actually put effort and thought into their art and dont just draw barely legal looking anime girls struggle to get food 🙂

@lesbianborzoi lmao these ppl just like to jack off to 12 year old looking anime girls. thats not effort that just drawing the 1 thing you know how to draw over and over and over again! hes a fucking professional artist got dam

calm down @rosewaltz

I don’t wanna

imagine being 23 and still being mad your 8th grade art teacher told you to draw something other than anime and screaming about it on tumblr

The art teacher telling you to draw smth other than anime was probably right too

oh okay, you think these are “12 year old looking”

damn bitch get your eyes checked

“why dont i make as much as them???”

ah

Today I learned that I’m a horny fuck that only likes an artist’s work because I like to “jack off to 12 year old looking anime girls”.

For one thing, I’m concerned if this is what you think a 12 year old girl looks like.

Also, this artist’s use of color is really nice. That’s something that takes skill to use well and honestly it’s always embarrassing when people complain about someone else making money but not them (or “other artists”). Yeah, there are talented artists out there who don’t have a big following. There’s a bunch of reasons why someone may become popular and people being horny is definitely not the only one.

“It’s YOUR responsibility to facilitate our slutting about if you want to stop children from having their human right to life violated!”

No it isn’t. Sex is not a human right. If you risk having an unwanted pregnancy, wait until your in a better position to have sex without as much risk of repercussions.

If you’re an adult it is YOU who has responsibility over your actions.

Cum is a human right, am I right, my fellow millennials? Hahaha anyway here’s some memes about how much I want to kill myself, they’re ironic I swear!

Some people make me so sad for this entire species. Where are you, giant meteor? I’m waiting.

Okay, but you know what? They’re right. Just banning abortion isn’t going to solve the problem. I wholeheartedly agree with the notion that people shouldn’t risk it if they aren’t in a financial and emotional position to raise a human being. I don’t think anyone has a particular “right” to free preventatives when there isn’t a medical reason (birth control pills are a different argument).

But guess what?

People are fucking stupid.

People will get pregnant regardless of whether they should, whether they can afford it, whether they even care about the other person involved, etc. It doesn’t matter how much you tell them it’s stupid and that they should just abstain. Clearly, that doesn’t work. (Humans are dumb and have this mindset of “Oh, it won’t happen to me.” Look, I’m telling you as someone who has personally dealt with this shit in my own family that it very much can. The primary function of sex is reproduction, so don’t be surprised when you take no precautions and that happens.)

If the goal is to stop people from getting abortions, and your current “ideal” tactic for reducing unwanted pregnancy (i.e., “Just never have sex!!”) isn’t working, then maybe push for realistic, alternative ways to solve the problem. Like, oh, I don’t know, offering easy-to-access contraceptives? Or at least not combining the anti-abortion stance with the anti-contraceptive stance. Because that’s moronic and unrealistic.
