It's 1am what am I doing

more accessories should have Menacing Earthworks

i'm always asking myself this

BASEBALL YURI (1/5)

at least i got an el faro burrito the size of my head out of it

tonight's tragedy: dropped from watching Frankenstein to get to the Lightning Bolt show, and only discovered after I got to the venue, on the other side of the bay, that the show in question was actually yesterday ;vvvv;

thinking about her

hell yea that's a good one

HELL YEA WHICH ONE

this 100% works on me, every time

how about liquid dnb www.mixcloud.com/unit_grooves...

Yeah, it rules but don't think I have the energy for it this time around - vvvv -

YESSS
It's SO squelchy

called out

God fucking dammit it’s so, so, incredibly good. Like waxahatchee and hop along and the thermals but something so deeply unique in its storytelling

surrounding the bad rectangle with menacing earthworks

every time i make my phone more unpleasant to use for anything other than basic necessities my life improves

ok this rules actually

Playing ego death is all fun and games until somebody loses an I

That's just how she is. What about you?

oh god. at the top of my list of shows i specifically avoid rewatching because i *know* it would be nightmarish compared to the nostalgic sepia-toned version i absorbed as a naïve young'un before media literacy was invented

FEEEEEEEMSH

heads up to people like me that have art files and silly things they have kept for years

Matching sounds to shapes: Evidence of the bouba-kiki effect in naïve baby chicks Maria Loconsole1*, Silvia Benavides-Varela2,3, Lucia Regolin1 Humans across multiple languages spontaneously associate the nonwords “kiki” and “bouba” with spiky and round shapes, respectively, a phenomenon named the bouba-kiki effect. To explore the origin of this association, and whether it is unique to humans, we tested the bouba-kiki effect in baby domestic chickens (Gallus gallus). as a precocial species, chicks can be tested shortly after hatching, allowing us to control their pretest experiences. Similar to humans, both 3-day-old [experiment 1 (exp. 1)] and 1-day-old (exp. 2) chicks spontaneously choose a spiky shape when hearing the “kiki” sound and a round shape when hearing the “bouba” sound. results from naïve young animals suggest a predisposed mechanism for matching the dimensions of shape and sound, which may be widespread across species.

main fig from the paper showing the association between bouba/round and kiki/spiky in newborn chicks

the new paper on bouba/kiki in chicks is utterly compelling

canonical, elegant method from comparative cogsci & its partner in developmental science, ultra-simple design, ultra-clear effects, no need for fancy analyses, machine learning, or AI

it appeared in an appropriately badass venue (Science)

long pointy completely black werewolf, crying

couple of completely black werewolves, one of them has torso opened like a huge maw, filled with sharp teeth/ribs, leaking with some fluids. Long toothy face, kinda dragon-like. another one has creepy round eyes, long face with sharp teeth, and one extremely long top jaw fang, one long hairy ear sticking out

couple of werewolves running on their fours, their bodies are unnaturaly long and bent uncomfortably

black scarred long pointy werewolf is beeing petted on his belly and being very happy and excited about it! smiling with his long creepy maw, tongue sticking out, waving his fluffy tail.

the kinds of werewolves I like doodling for my own amusement

A digital drawing, few simple drawings on a dark background. From top to the bottom, it starts with half of the Earth seen with its continents being placed like in the Middle Ordovician. Below it is a line, showing a process of life - from one little star, to dividing cells, to an embryo (it's all different creatures - fish, dog, tadpole, and a human). Then, series of little drawings, showing different stages of life in different things. A plant emerging from the soil, a larvae, baby birds with their bright open mouths, pregnant horse with a star on its belly, very old human, and a dry plant in a pot with a leaf falling from it. A fossil of a crinoid can be seen on the background, in some places nicely preserved, in some - scattered around, with segments seen as little stars. The text on the picture says: "Let sunshine touch the memory of me again"

Following the previous part of it, from top to the bottom: mammal bones scattered around, a fossil of a trilobite on a rock, human remains, a piece of a fossilized plant, little drawing of an ammonite, a part of a thylacine seen in a little square, and in a square next to it - plate with fossilized fish, being shattered. Below them is a line - an ornitomimus running forward, its fossilized remains, and on the right - same remains, but scattered around in little pieces. The text goes through the drawing, saying "I will remain. I will remain. I will remain" The first phrase is written normally, the second is written fast. The last one is poorly written by my left hand, without looking at the screen.

A lot of feelings that are more than words

(I guess, in a way, #paleoart)
