ā€œGenerally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." ā¤ļø The Velveteen Rabbit

@drac.bsky.social has it right; ā€œout of sortsā€ has become an idiom, and the individual words in it don’t mean anything anymore. You’d never say you ā€œfound more sortsā€. It’s rigid. Meanwhile ā€œout of fucksā€ isn’t fully idiomatic yet; ā€œfucksā€ is still a discrete noun. ā€œI found more fucksā€ still works.

This is perfect.

I despair for this guy, who has clearly never seen the sketches and cartoons of master artists. How the hell are you going to work out how to place your figures (and then LIGHT them) without geometric solids? With the power of your perfect mind? Fuck’s sake, not even Michelangelo was that arrogant.

This was exactly what I needed today. Please never stop. ā¤ļø

I’m so sorry for your loss. ā¤ļø

Ugh, I’m so sorry. My cat had frequent ear infections due to mystery allergies. I spent thousands on a specialty doctor and meds, in a year. It’s all so expensive.

This is perfect on multiple levels.

It’s beautiful but it has no land. You see that grass? That’s ALL of it. It’s a glorious house but it sits on a lot the size of a postage stamp, right alongside regular-looking houses, looking exactly as if a wizard had transmogrified their two bedroom townhome.

Combed through the replies looking for a Lymond Chronicles mention. A+++ historical literature, an intellectual cousin of Umberto Eco’s work.

That’s outstanding! I can’t wait to see what you do with your own crucible. Congratulations on expanding your workshop!

For those wondering, this is a physical 3D print, not a render, off my home printer. Here’s a picture that tells the tale a bit better, as the trilobite trundles away from his birth-pile of 3D printing support structures šŸ› ļø

Hello again! Thank you for creating those starter packs! I’ve really enjoyed browsing through them.

I’m Monica! I started as an artist drawing the things I wished I could make, and have since branched into electronics and general fabrication (the fancy word for ā€œcraftingā€) but without the discipline to push any single thing forward at one time. Maybe someday.

The maker of this video is a brilliant machinist and inventor, which comes out in everything he does. The fact that he has such a passion for clocks and timekeeping is just icing on the cake, honestly.

This is a Temu-ass Larry Bird. A wish-dot-com Larry Bird. The ā€œI can’t believe it’s not butterā€ Pinterest Disaster of Larry Birds.

Holy cow, eurypterids were HUGE, that’s a very plausible predator! Thank you for introducing me to another great creature.

These are AMAZING. The details are so extraordinary!!

I tried to look up some papers on trilobite predation and as best I could see, there may have been armor-boring creatures. But it just struck me that you may already have this answer, since as best I can tell, they weren’t unstoppable apex predators.

On my last Field Museum visit I checked out my favorite ancient creatures, ✨placoderms, who were the first to evolve jaws (to chomp), and then armored up against all the chomping. But trilobytes predate the Devonian Period and they were also armored. What were they protecting themselves from??

Thank you. šŸ™‚ The main problem is that documenting a project is also a project.

I literally thought of Jarvis, by name, when I met this little guy in the Art Institute. Same ā€œlittle creatureā€ energy.

Why is my dog, Shenanigan, so prone to mischief.

Ohhhh puppy. 😩 I’m glad he appears to be on the mend.

Agreed, the candy caps are overpowered. A total game-breaker.
