this ‘blonde’ gentoo penguin is part of a wild colony in antartica. the penguin is affected by a condition called leucism, a reduction in pigments in the bird’s feathers that leads to the overall paler look. while birds with leucism rarely survive for long, the last report about this penguin indicated it had survived for over three years.

I’ve been waiting for 2019 fashion my whole life
Me getting ready for 2019: Running full speed ahead through consignment shops while covered with superglue and three different colors of EL wire to see what I come out on the other side in.
i know all the words to fergalicious but not the original
So, I’m going to tell you a story you will hate.
In middle school when everyone was discovering the internet, anime and weird webcomics took the population of this middle-of-nowhere town by storm. There were Actual Fights over Naruto. Someone got detention because they wore ‘skimpy’ cosplay for a week (not the same cosplay, and also it fit the dress code the school was just sexist). Someone painted a furry version of the school’s mascot and the gym teacher liked it so much it is now the official version.
And in came a new student, just moved out from the city, this all sounds incredibly cliche, who Knew Shit About The Internet and found Homestuck. She had a iPod and speakers and every lunch, she’d play Karkalicious. Which was, fine, I guess, somehow. You’d think the teachers would have immediately banned it but whatever. Maybe someone was a fan of the original.
Then the talent show rolled around. The teachers always did a segment and it was always Bad.
This time it was Worse.
At this point, everyone knew the opening of Karkalicious. This apparently extended to the teachers, who had carefully fucking. gone through the song and edited out the cussing to make it ‘school-appropriate’ and then shittily pretended to perform it live onstage with the horrible gym teacher who threw actual deer poop at students as Karkat in the horrible mascot costume, which, by the way, was the most hideous wolverine I’ve ever seen.
I think there was a video on the website for a while but fuck if I know where the recordings go afterward.
This is your reminder that the man described in the prophecy as “The Lover” was completely alone for twelve years. No partner, no family, no friends, chased by someone he’d trusted, hated by people he loved.
hey quick question op
what the fuck
OP here with the fuck that I’m whating:
Barry Fucking Bluejeans is frequently reduced to a denim meme and a mulleted joke. But this man went through a truly miserable dozen years in which he literally couldn’t break down or he’d risk ceasing to exist. But despite everything, despite being thrown into the role of the villain, despite not knowing if he’d ever see any of them again much less the woman he’d loved for 100 years, he worked constantly despite so many setbacks and was instrumental in saving his family and the fucking whole of existence. So like.. the fuck that I’m whating is: fucking recognize and respect Barry Bluejeans, the man is more than a silly name.
And THIS is why lace was a worn primarily by royalty and aristocracy for so many centuries.. It was expensive and time-consuming to produce. Wearing it, and wearing LOTS of it was a blatant show of wealth and excessive consumption.
Mechanically-produced lace wasn’t really a thing until well into the 20th century, but there remains a wide gap between the quality of mass-produced and hand crafted
In general textile arts are highly underated considering the amount of skill and time needed to execute pretty much anything.
