@Fellixe @th3j35t3r When I was 13, I volunteered at the local science museum. They had a "touch tidepool" with hermit crabs, urchins, starfish AND A MANTIS SHRIMP. A volunteer had to be stationed near to make sure no one fucked with it. Staff let us know it could take kid's fingers off. Ahh, the 80s, when kids were basically disposable.
@th3j35t3r If you've never read The Oatmeal comic on mantis shrimp you're in for a treat! https://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp
Now that is some fine art right there. I think I want to make 3, get them professionally scanned (larger than my scanner), frame them, auction them off to raise funds for a no kill shelter somewhere, and buy prints for my own wall. What do you think, would I raise more money by simply donating it? (Traced him and sketched over the trace lines. Also many of those pencil marks are his.)
@kel Ah, so your psychology is fascinating and disturbing. Knew I liked you.
@CJShaneArtBooks One of these days my boredom and creativity are going to combine in a way where the resulting chaos is not so fun after all.
The houseguest loaded the toilet paper wrong, and I grabbed it without realizing, but liked the snap of the tear more. Now I feel justified in my life long desire to break into homes to flip all the toilet paper rolls and write hidden messages on the mirrors with a well oiled finger. I hope tracing the kitten keeps me entertained enough that I don't go googling how to pick locks again.
@AskTheDevil @Bix Ah. Must have just heard about it then.
@Agatha @BenA Seriously though, we all look alike. I was watching a show with 3 blonde women in it and I kept getting confused. Also, I saw a pic comparing the men from American Horror Story and though they were all the same men at first, then I realized they weren't, looked closely and thought one of them looked like that actor from one of my FAVORITE shows, and then realization hit, finally. Then I read the text under the pic, lol.
@AskTheDevil @Bix Vaguely, if it happened when I was a teen. In the 90s?

@redenigma Jotting that down in my notes I study to help me get through to people. That's a damn good perspective and gives good words to a very real layer of the "toxic masculinity ruins the party for EVERYONE" feeling.

@kel Lots of blue misty wavy lights. If I pay attention to them, they swirl into confusing images that seem both friendly and disturbing, I figure it's pressure causing eye parts to fire and the friendly and disturbing part is my psychology. I have high eye pressure, like edge of glaucoma, could be that though.
Nature, science, and art are super cool. Terribly sorry for the stuff that doesn't fit.
