pêche (9 février - “peach” and/or “fishing”)
“I don’t do math because I’m gay” “the gays can’t do math” “If I explain math on tumblr I’ll lose my gay card” all of you apologize to Alan Turing right now
The “+” in LGBTQ+ is for math.
It’s literally been years since anyone added something slightly clever or original to this post, so I would like to congratulate you and maybe even bestow some kind of award. I don’t have anything to give you though
It was simple addition, really.
hey can you do me a favour?? Can you go get that nice pristine sketchbook or journal you've been hoarding and put some kind of mark on the first page?
Anything will do, like a smudge of graphite or a blob of ink, or perhaps a very scribbly dinosaur. Just put something there. Please, or the dinosaur will be sad.
I was SO SAD for this dinosaur that I grabbed the nearest notebook (a calendar) and drew a little sailing ship for him
oh thank goodness!
IT’S OKAY IF YOU MESS IT UP
SKETCHBOOKS ARE FOR MESSING UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE!!!! It's right in the name! Like @sleepnoises said a while ago, they're for the quick putdowning of ideas! to catch the stuff that comes out of your brain!
(I don't mean to say that pretty sketchbook pages are bad, but it's important for your health to do quick scribbly stuff too. if not in a book then perhaps on small scraps of paper)
The dinosaur is very glad to see so many doodles in the notes!
Also lots of comments with very good suggestions for people who have a hard time starting, like starting on the second page, just signing & dating it, numbering the pages, or using the first page to put samples of all your usual pencils and pens and such.
Here's how I started my new sketchbook, which I got for 5 dollars at Dollarama.
I would have drawn on that first blank page instead of just signing it, but it was partially glued to the endpaper and wouldn't lie flat.
(Also, since the sketches are about making velvet mites with little wired legs, I must mention that if/when I get around to doing that it'll be posted on @vincentbriggs where all my non-dinosaur arts go.)
ok here is the mite, finally finished! More pics on my other blog.
oh gosh did I forget to update you on the mite? I made another one and filmed it a few months ago.
... Vincent... Is... Is your notebook cover an Imagine Dragons pun? 😭
No, it's a monster (no wings! not a dragon!) and I was just trying to cover up the writing the book cover came with.

A stupid fandom question I was asking myself this morning.
What are the fandoms (a bit big) that have an iconic m/m ship AND and iconic f/f ship AND an iconic m/f ship?
First one I was able to think about was Babylon 5, and indeed the top 3 ships on AO3 are
Delenn/John Sheridan (440) Susan Ivanova/Talia Winters (328) G'Kar/Londo Mollari (183)
Buffy qualifies too. But there must be other, more recent ones?
i love explaining the etymology of the word "rickroll" because the story starts with "ok, so at one point 4chan applied a filter to everyone's posts that changed the word egg to duck"
grandfather....
I just want to let you guys know Cornell's entire library is open access (no permissions required) and there are (shocker) many books...
76,474 books at time of reblog!!!
I think we should bring back the spock approach to people who don't use headphones on public transport
No one wants to hear your shit music/tiktoks 😇
This morning I made a Star Trek fake in-universe pamphlet about interspecies intimate relationships because, given the sheer amount of people from different species and societies fucking in this franchise, I think this definitely exists in some form in-universe.
The full document for printing is the following (print double sided, changing side along the short edge):
In my head, this started at the Academy as a PSA for cadets but it soon started to be distributed on starships and space stations as well.
