Resharing for #InternationalSlothDay 🦥:

Art History Animalia @arthistoryanimalia.bsky.social · Oct 20

Happy #InternationalSlothDay! Fernández de Oviedo was the first European to publish a written description of a sloth, in 1526. There was also an unpublished sketch in his notes. Sadly, the original is now lost…but not before being faithfully copied in an 18th c. manuscript, so we have this:

Digitized b&w image of a manuscript page: 18th century copy of Fernández de Oviedo's sketch of a sloth (labeled "periquito ligero"), in Juan Bautista Muñoz's copy of Fernández de Oviedo's _General and Natural History of the Indies_, considered to be a faithful reproduction. In the collection of Real Academia de la Historia, Spain (M-RAH, 9/4786, folio 166 vº). https://www.researchgate.net/figure/18-th-century-drawing-of-a-sloth-perico-ligero-or-periquito-ligero-Juan-Bautista_fig1_306096083
OK, so Oviedo wasn't much of an artist LOL...so yes this sketch looks quite silly...and yet, in spite of the goofy tiny human-like head perched on top of the too-long neck, the rest of the body still manages to look more accurate than that ridiculous first published sloth image by Thevet in 1558: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/strange-nature-first-printed-illustration-sloth-180970944/

We’ve settled on Black Rabbit so it’s all ok now. I vented my frustration with a vigorous hand gesture behind his back.

I’m being nice to him because he fell earlier and his hand looks a bit fucked but FFS.

It’s not like any platforms are ethical but they’re so blatantly terrible it’s impossible to pretend otherwise.

Another reason to fuck Spotify into the bin

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed.

THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!
