Is this "the first human-made textbook"?

Huge drawings of touchable animal tracks would be an ideal teaching tool for young hunters & trackers. These rock carvings in Namibia are hard to date, but the paper estimates they are at least 5000 to 7000 years old.

The authors of the paper sought out the assistance of local hunter and trackers to better identify the animals represented in the rock art. The range of species identified and the specificity of the depicted species was remarkable, showing the detail and depth of human knowledge of the natural world even thousands of years ago. (The trackers could tell the age and sex of many of the animals represented by the prints.)

Some of the carvings are in a narrow crevice, almost like it was a "test" where the student could move through the prints identifying them by touch. (that's just my guess for how they used it, the authors of the paper are more circumspect in their ideas about what this was for)

Some of the prints are from animals who no longer live in the region, possibly pushing the age of the site deeper into the past.

SLAY, an animal rights documentary on animals in the fashion industry, has to be one of the most poorly researched documentaries I’ve seen in awhile. Not only does the documentary go after fur (which is to be expected), but also wool and leather while making some startlingly false claims.

First of the major claims against fur is that they state fur is not biodegradable, a talking point they admit to taking from Collective Fashion Justice (an animal rights clothing collective). CFJ claims that only 20% of the fur is biodegradable, which they took from a portion of this study. The actual statistic is that at the 30-day mark the mink had degraded by 25.8%, while the fake fur hadn’t degraded at all.

According to the paper, “in the disintegration test, it was observed that the Undyed mink fur, Undyed fox fur, Dyed mink fur and Dyed fox fur partially disintegrated [after 30 days]: the skin fell apart and disappeared but the hairs remained. The fake fur did not show any disintegration, only discoloration” (Debeer). Fur is made of pure keratin which is hard to break down, this is why there are some hair follicles still left over from extinct animals! The part that is easier to disintegrate is leather part, even with the tanning process the material is biodegradable.

The most irritating claim they make is that fur, leather, and wool have a higher carbon footprint. First, the carbon footprint doesn't take into account the fact that cattle, sheep, and animal raised for fur produce multiple products. A polyester shirt is only a polyester shirt, the cow the leather is made out of also produced milk, meat, and important by-products. While animals raised for fur also produce important oils, biofuel, and eat animal waste products from other industries.

#fur #fur debate #real fur #fur farming #fur fashion #animal welfare #animal agriculture #incredibly irritating how silly it is to claim polyester is better than wool due to the carbon footprint #but we get multiple products from a sheep as opposed to a plastic shirt!!!!!!

im vegan but calling people who arent "carnists" is a bit insane, not gonna lie. PETA sucks ass. Fake fur is bad for the environment though.

i never said ppl who arent vegan are carnists, i just believe that ppl who tie their masculinity to eating meat to the point where they harass ppl online about how they arent man enough or 'too much of a chump' or whatever to wear murdered animals for fashion are fucking weird, like the previous anon.

and i have no idea why u are dragging peta into this that was never brought up.

so much weird projection going on today lol.

what a fun thing to come back to after my social media break lol

#lilith answers #murdering animals for fashion is bad #and distracting from DISLIKING MURDER OF ANIMALS by going 'well ur carbon footprint is still bad 😐' is FUCKING WEIRD>?!?? IONO LIKE??

Oh while im writing bullshit how come we don’t talk about ghost fish floating around danny all the time to feed on his passive ecto output?

Hes like a filter we put in fish tanks? Yall see that episode of doctor who about the skyfish? Solid Christmas special but that around Danny.

Do yall think if a shark didn’t feel hunger it would eat other fish? Like imagine how cook and chill a shark ghost would be. Don’t gotta attack cause it’s dead and never feels threatened. No need to hunt or anything no hunger.

Anyway Danny with a let ghost shark that is smooth

#danny phantom #non crossover post #I could make it a crossover if you want #like gothem has so much toxic excto in the air that danny is confused by how agressive the ghost fish are #it’s like when u put an anti rodent plug in your house and drive your rabbit insane #I havent don’t that ours froze to death #omg #do yall think animals that freeze to death leave little frosted footprints?#kinda cute #anyway back to the corssover this isnt #thats part of why gothem is so badluck and cursed cause the fish are doing it #they angry so when a ghost shark bites tou joker attacks #or something idk #ghost fish swimming around crazy at arkum causing doors to unlock and helping people eacape #ok im a dipe my face hurts a whole lot and I can’t spell

American Dad - “Footprints”

“Footprints” was my last episode of production season 17 and was one of my favorites of that run of shows. This was also the first episode I worked on where I noticed how much I had improved since my first season. For instance, I had to draw a sequence with an audience sitting in stadium seats, something that defeated me way back on my very first show. I also had to draw a crowd gathered around an alien spaceship that has landed by the Bazooka Sharks football stadium, the largest scale sequence I’d ever had up until that point. I put a lot of hard work into this one and I think it all paid off.

The poster for this episode is heavily inspired by those cheesy, super Christian photos that often accommodate the “Footprints” poem. I’m not much of a painter but the poster needed that overly rendered touch to really make the goofiness land.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention all the great work on this show by director Jennifer Graves, assistant director Valentino So and my board partner Eliana Sellitto. Special thanks is owed to Dave Boudreau and Lesley Hur for stepping up to help me clean-up a couple sequences late in the game. And of course, a tip a hat to long- time writer Joe Chandler, for this his final script for “American Dad.” “Footprints” is a fitting finale for his tenure to the show and I was happy to help bring it to life.
