A new Therizinosaurian dinosaur, Kayrasaurus changliensis, from the Early Cretaceous Jehol Biota, China. #pixelart #ドット絵 #SciArt #paleoart

Pixel art of Kayrasaurus changliensis, a new Therizinosaurian dinosaur found in China. The large dinosaur has an orange feathery coat, beak-like mouth and three large curved claws on each of its forelimbs. It is bending over at the water to get a drink while two smaller theropods watch from a distance on the moss covered shoreline, near a fallen tree. In the background is a large expanse of water leading to mountains and large fluffy clouds.

Everyone should read Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs to understand what it meant to constantly negotiate one’s sexual autonomy in a system of enslavement. Jacobs emphasizes that even “consensual” relationships were negotiated in constant fear of sexual violence.

From a simply outstanding glass plate negative in my collection. No date/info.

Photo of a shorthaired grey cat sitting up on an overturned white parasol on top of a light colored rock. A white sheet is draped behind it. It seems clear that this was all arranged deliberately to gather light for this very successful photo shoot of the cat.

If basic human rights are predicated on whether someone committed crimes (see the "except as punishment for a crime" clause in the Thirteenth Amendment), then you create perverse incentives for those in power to create as many "criminals" out of the opposition as possible. Prisoners are humans.

Please try to reclaim your precious precious attention, at all costs. Do puzzles. Take walks without a phone. Dear god, try to read, almost anything that isn’t a manifesto will really do. You are going to need your brain.

if someone wrote an apologia piece like this about my rapist i would be utterly fucking incandescent. i'm sorry this is disgusting we do not, in fact, need to discuss the nuance of raping someone, facing no consequence, and then making tons of money over the next ten years as a public figure

It has been 118 years since the Supreme Court ruled the federal government owes tribes water, but Native American communities in northern Arizona are still fighting for their rights to the Colorado River. (Published June)

propublica.org

Native American Tribes Came Together to Secure Their Rights to Colorado River Water. Four States Are Stalling the Deal.

Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming are resisting the deal because it would allow the Navajo and Hopi to lease water to cities downstream, likely the growing towns around Phoenix.

Furaffinity, besides being one of the most iconic pillars of the global Furry community, is one of the last bastions of what used to be mainstream art site culture where both casual viewers and artists mingle without competition. Please support its continued operation.

A cynical part of me thinks the only reason these ghouls are pushing the “AI could be conscious rhetoric” is because when it comes to deciding whether humans or data centers should get access to limited energy and water resources, they want ambiguity about why humans should clearly take precedent.

Wow. LOISH got accused of using Ai to make her art. I started following her on early deviantart. I remember first seeing her paintings in college. This is ridiculous, no one is safe. Artists Ive followed for actual decades are getting harassed because their work has been stolen and regurgitated.

To celebrate Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, we'll be featuring a dog for every day of the month! First up is Chaos, one of our longest-term residents! Don't be fooled by his name—this guy is the opposite of chaotic. He loves a nice leisurely stroll and snuggling up on the couch.

I have separated the art from the artist and am now whipping the art to stiff peaks, after which I will gently fold it into the artist before baking at 350 til golden and puffed

personally i believe all art, however generic, contains something 'meaningfully new', but also Sweet Christ i wish men would shut up about the stuff women read for fun. hey lads! how about we have some robust discourse re; the porn YOU enjoy! i'm sure it's very very cool stuff, yeah?
