Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?
Tweet from a person name "jim rose circus". There's a photo of a horse laying down. Text: Meet Sugar, she doesn't like to be ridden. If Sugar is approached with a saddle she lies down and pretends to be asleep. Sugar refuses to open her eyes until the riders leave.

this is how detailed i want the info. measurements + construction + bulletpoints. all this for a "simple" pair of jeans
A page from Self Edge's website. This is the product page for a pair of Sugar Cane jeans. It shows the measurements across various sizes. The product description reads: "The Strike Gold 5103 jean is their newest classic straight leg fit jean. This model has a medium rise and a full cut leg for a classic straight leg jean look. With this new 5103 model Strike Gold have produced a 15oz unsanforized (but rinsed) denim made of pure indigo warp threads and a light gray weft thread. The denim is very interesting because they used a super short slub cotton for the weft threads. This is a cotton staple so short we believe it's shorter than the sugar cane fibers used in Sugar Cane's famed Okinawa and Hawaii jeans, except those use a slub fiber (sugar cane) in the warp and weft of the denim. Using a cotton staple this short is tricky when producing a fabric that should be rugged and somewhat heavy in weight because the yarns need to be spun at a far slower pace and therefore increasing the risk of the shuttle yarn (aka, the weft thread) snapping far more often than it already does. The slow spinning of the thread should not be confused with the tension or speed of a loom, spinning of yarns is a process which happens far before any loom is involved in making a fabric. All this work results in a denim that looks like no denim we've seen before. The process used gives the denim an extremely uneven texture, but not necessarily slubby looking. Our best description is that at a 45 degree angle it can be compared closely to a vintage hand-woven Persian rug, but not so much that most people wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference outside of the deeper color. The jean looks like an indigo colored denim but has a deeper blue hue from the weft threads peaking through the indigo warp threads. It's a jean like this which reminds us that we haven't seen it all, yet. They've upped the weight to 15oz and due to the abrasive nature of the denim when new the jean will age faster than most jeans and yield a high contrast fade with normal wear. Strike Gold has gone to the extent of getting custom rivets made which have … The bulletpoints read: "Specifications 15oz Unsanforized (But Rinsed) Right Hand Twill Japanese Selvedge Denim w/ a Super Short Slub Weft Yarn Gray Dyed Weft Threads Pure Indigo Dyed Warp Threads Gold Sparkle Selvedge Id Hidden Rivets Button Fly Deerskin Leather Tag Iron Male Rivet - Copper Female Rivet Classic Straight Leg Fit Rinsed (shrinkage is minimal if cold washed and air/line dried)" A photo of a man wearing the jeans. Just one of many model photos on the website.

A gorgeous game! I cried to see the shark🦈 from Abzu and felt such visceral joy skating in the half pipes! Starting new game plus now 🦑 Haptics on PS5 are incredible🎮

Highly recommend if you like atmospheric/walking simulator cozy games, gameplay-first games, or need to kick a bad mood!

Save #paleontology at the Science Museum of #Minnesota 🦖🦕
Disgusting to defund invaluable #science that pushes humanity forward and enriches our culture, while the rich get richer…

Cross posted from r/paleontology: shorturl.at/roMxG
Science Museum of Minnesota's president makes over a half-million per year while shutting down MN's only paleontology lab to save money. What's happening? A Paleontological Prep Lab is one of the key links in the scientific process of paleontology, where fossils are cleaned, preserved, and prepared for study. The Science Museum of Minnesota is home to the only active prep lab in the state. On July 9*, 2025, the Science Museum of Minnesota announced a sweeping round of layoffs. Among the roles eliminated was the position of Paleontology Lab Manager, without whom the Paleo Lab cannot continue to operate. This is a specialized position requiring years of scientific training and expertise; there are currently no plans to reinstate the position or to preserve fossils undergoing current work. Irreplaceable fossils in delicate stages of preparation will quickly degrade and crumble with exposure to air if they are not properly cared for, and newly discovered fossils will sit encased in rock, unable to be studied. Without the oversight of a lab manager, 10 Paleo Lab volunteers will be forced to stop working to preserve Minnesota's fossils, and paleontological research in Minnesota will grind to a halt without a lab to prepare and preserve fossils. How can you help? Spread the word to people who care about continued scientific research and the preservation of Minnesota's cultural and natural heritage. Contact the Science Museum of Minnesota at info@smm.org or call (651) 221-9444 to make your voice heard. If you have a Science Museum Membership, consider canceling, not renewing, or threatening to cancel your membership, citing the closure of the Paleo Lab as the reason. Leave a review on Google Maps, Yelp, TripAdvisor, or Facebook expressing disappointment with this decision—the more visible the better.

Yesterday was the 50th anniversary of Jaws

🩸🦈I made a list to score, with 13 levels of stereotypes about sharks, I hope it is useful for those who want to create works beyond the fear ingrained by Jaws and seek new creative representations of sharks.

#shark #jaws #jaws50thanniversary #jaws50
After noticing patterns over the years, I created this list with 13 points to score the level of stereotypes about sharks present in a work. I believe that most of these stereotypes have their main origin in the film Jaws (1975). With the scarcity of works that explore other creative approaches to sharks, beyond the “man-eating ” narrative, Jaws ended up consolidating itself as the greatest source of inspiration and creative reference for many productions to this day. This was called “The Jaws Effect”. I've noticed that certain patterns in the creative world repeat themselves to the point of being tedious, which bothers me. Not because they're bad, but because in many cases they're harmful. With these points, I hope to show sharks in a new light.

Today is World Ocean Day! 🌊

I created quite a few images about the ocean a while back, so I'm sharing an old ocean themed illustration. When working on these, I learned so much about marine life, plastic pollution and climate change.
#WorldOceansDay #kidlitartist #illustrator #kidlit
An illustration for World Ocean Day. It illustrates a colourful selection of sea life swimming near a large iceberg, with two penguins ontop. There are vibrant coral on the sea bed with clouds scattered around in the blue sky. A peaceful and safe ocean, how it should be!

“I want them to consider the responsibilities of the heart… that the world will attempt to detach them from in the name of individualism… and power’s contempt for community. I am asking them… to imagine a heart that feels a connection to the hearts of others, even others you do not know.”

This is one of the most profound essays I’ve read in years. You don’t need me to tell you that Hanif Abdurraqib is one of the finest writers of our time, but this essay in particular is a hard-won offering. Please read it and share with people you love.
In Defense of Despair
The feeling is most commonly framed as an end point, a level of despondency that cannot be overcome. But it doesn’t have to be so.
