Recently, while staring far too long at a potato chip, it occurred to me that the ridges could possibly be used to create a lenticular effect. So I got out some chip dip (and the smallest paint brush I have) to test it out. I started with a simple 2-frame illustration of a football and a basketball, then I painted a little sour cream and onion dip bird. 🥔🕊️ - via my new @brockdavisart instagram

Happy birthday, Pete Seeger! (May 3, 1919)

A triumphant troubadour for labor, civil rights, and the environment, Pete Seeger was born into a musical family and learned how to make songs and play at a young age. Dropping out of Harvard to pursue his dreams of a career in journalism, he instead became active in the radical labor movement and its singing tradition, learning the guitar from Lead Belly and joining forces with songsmith Woody Guthrie. The two would form the Almanac Singers with several other radical folksingers, creating songs for the labor movement and the Communist Party. Seeger found mainstream success in the 1940s and 50s with another group, the Weavers, but the House UnAmerican Activities Committee killed the Weavers’ fortunes, as Seeger was cited for contempt for refusing to testify or plead the Fifth. Seeger’s career languished for years, barred from radio or television, but he found success in the college campus circuit, cultivating a generation of radical youth who would play a major role in the explosive activist scene of the 1960s. Seeger was right there alongside them, singing for the civil rights movement and contributing songs of his own, including an old spiritual he reworked into “We Shall Overcome.” In the late 60s and early 70s, amidst a jaded counterculture embittered by the failure of their radical politics, Seeger threw himself into environmentalist causes, organizing to clean up the Hudson River. He remained active in music and activism until his death in 2014. He is remembered both for his activism and for his contributions to music, popularizing the use of tablature in string instrument notation and coining the terms “pulling off” and “hammering on.”

“In the largest sense, every work of art is protest… A lullaby is a propaganda song and any three-year-old knows it…  A hymn is a controversial song — sing one in the wrong church: you’ll find out.”

I saw this question posed on tiktok, but I think Tumblr would really enjoy it too.

If a fae creature offered to give one million dollars for a bone chosen at random, how many bones would you allow them to take?

Light clarifications; The fae is not the one choosing the bones. The bone is taken at random. Each bone, no matter the size or importance, is worth a full million dollars. You must also declare the exact number first, you can't go bone-by-bone. You either say 2 or you say 10, you can't work your way up to a higher number. The bones are removed instantaneously, and the money is given immediately as well. You will not get in government trouble for acquiring the money.

Tell me in the tags/replies how many bones you'd let the fae take. And as always, reblog for bigger sample size.

#had to look up a list of bones to think about it but like #which reminded me that there 23 named bones in the skull #which on the one hand seems like a lot like losing any one of them would not be as bad as losing my whole skull (presumably fatal) #but on the other hand man they kinda all feel important #i really cannot afford to lose the occipital bone #and i feel like losing just one vertabra could leave me paralyzed for life or something #like in the most perfect desirable case the question reads “would you let someone chop of your pinky for 3 mil?” and I guess i say yes there #but even that feels fraught like that would still be kinda traumatic and it's just a pinky #and if i were to give only one random bone and it eneded up being a proximal phalange #would i not basically lose use of the whole digit? but for only 1 mil? #since so many of this look like instant death or lifelong debility #i did pick zero

Himalayan Crocodile Newt (Tylototriton verrucosus), family Salamandridae, found in parts of South and SE Asia

Poisonous.

Some species within this genus are capable of poking the tips of their ribs through the orange bumps on the back, which secrete poison. The ribs can effectively become venomous spines that puncture the predator’s skin! (or the curious naturalist!)

Recently I went to one of my favorite museums of all times, the Muskegon Art Museum, and discovered this new bronze by UK artist, Beth Carter, Minotaur Reading. When people think of the myth of the Minotaur it’s almost always in context of his violence, his lust, his impossible body. Here all that is swept away with this monstrous form reading a small golden book. This made me crazy happy to see.
