My beautiful baby boy turns 3 today.

I love him a lot and here are my favorite things about him.

He sleeps a lot, he’s always ready for play, and he reminded me to take breaks and eat. He’s my beautiful baby boy and I will always love him.

I took photo references for these so I could get my drawings to look as good as him.

Completely unrelated,  but I wanted to show you these robots. Yes, these are not fish, these are robots – the future is now. 

Not to mention that they’re moving apparently randomly through a three-dimensional space, and not touching each other! That’s impressive.

I keep thinking about what domesticated animals for fantasy species look like and goddd there’s some good worldbuilding shit there

listen, list listen, listen

elf dogs

They’re probably not even dogs they could be derived from any number of species but still fill the same niche provided it’s something with social/family behaviors

Cats! That’s basically what a hyena is, after all, and modern housecats are social. People treated cheetahs like dogs for awhile, still do in some parts of the world.

Alternately: birds! Fourish feet tall, kinda like small moa, sharp beak and claws, pack-hunting behavior. Guinea fowl on steroids. 

you know all those jokes about white people food and the lack of spices? 

 i can top them all

because when I was 8

i would get slices of white bread

put them in the microwave until they were hot

and eat them like that. 

not toasted, not with anything on top, just microwaved white bread.

I think I liked the texture. 

revolutionariess:

characters that go through hell yet still believe in the goodness of humanity, still hope for the best despite everything, refuse to let darkness consume them because someone somewhere is always going to be good are literally my favourite, because they give me that little hope too

No you don’t understand, we’ve had a massive surplus of cheese since the Great Depression. The national government was determined to maintain the dairy industry when our markets crashed and so they developed a policy of buying up surplus cheese that regular citizens couldn’t afford. 

We’ve been shoving the stuff into caves in Missouri because there’s so much of it we haven’t really had anywhere else to put it because you can’t just destroy cheese. You try to burn it and it melts. It’s so heavily processed that it doesn’t biodegrade, and it can’t be fed to animals or turned into anything else. Our only other alternatives would be to dump it into the ocean which we would absolutely not do ever since the whole medical waste thing or to launch it into space which is way too expensive.

In the 1980s Reagan began a government cheese program to distribute some of the excess to welfare and food stamps recipients. And since then we’ve had the Got Milk? campaign which was a government scheme to get the general public to consume more dairy products to help slow the stockpiling. (By the way, cow milk may not be as good for us as we’re led to believe. There’s a lot of debate in the scientific community about whether the hormones present in the milk might have a link to cancer.)

Our surplus cheese is also why so many restaurants put so goddamn much of it into absolutely everything. A division of the federal government known as Dairy Management heavily promotes any restaurants that push cheesy menu items, even as the DoA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion warns of the health risks associated with a cheese-heavy diet.

Basically the feds are conspiring to kill us all with dairy products because they got so buddy-buddy with the dairy industry in the first half of the 20th century that they’ve dug themselves into a hole and they’re paying Big Dairy too much to back out now.

this is the best news ive heard all year

finally, my chance to serve my country has come

I would not be at all surprised if this is related to the fact that Canada puts huge tariffs on imported cheese. I mean the fastest way for the US to get rid of their cheese en masse would be to sell it to Canada , right? Except we have crazy tariffs to protect Canadian dairy companies and cheese in general is very expensive here…

…which means that after illegal guns and illegal drugs, the third most common illegal import into canada is black-market cheese 😮 exhibit A
