It took me forever and two days to finish, but I think it‘s my new favourite painting. A toast to Captain Liam Shaw 🍷🖖🏻
This is possibly the most wrong thing I have seen on a click bait article ever. The more you look, the worse it gets.
It claims to be an X-ray of a pregnant horse.
There are several faults with that assumption:
It is an old school film X-ray, about the size of an A4. It is no way big enough to X-ray an entire horse.
An X-ray machine big enough to X-ray an entire horse does not exist, and would pump out obscene amounts of radiation if it did.
That ‘horse’ is lying down. Good luck with that.
Something very creative is happening with its front legs, feet, hocks and skeleton in general.
It has no internal organs.
The thing it is ‘pregnant’ with is mostly situated within the thorax.
The thing it is ‘pregnant’ with appears to be a dog.
The ‘dog’ appears to be ‘pregnant’ with a cat.
The ‘cat’ appears to be ‘pregnant’ with… possibly a rat?
help i can’t stop making these
The best part about this scene was it was actually Migleemo who called Meema, not the other way around ("she needs to see her boy in the captain's chair!").

It occurs to me that as much as “humans are the scary ones” fits sometimes, if you look at it another way, humans might seem like the absurdly friendly or curious ones.
I mean, who looked at an elephant, gigantic creature thoroughly capable of killing someone if it has to, and thought “I’m gonna ride on that thing!”?
And put a human near any canine predator and there’s a strong chance of said human yelling “PUPPY!” and initiating playful interaction with it.
And what about the people who look at whales, bigger than basically everything else, and decide “I’m gonna swim with our splashy danger friends!”
Heck, for all we know, humans might run into the scariest, toughest aliens out there and say “Heck with it. I’m gonna hug ‘em.”
“Why?!”
“I dunno. I gotta hug ‘em.”
And it’s like the first friendly interaction the species has had in forever so suddenly humanity has a bunch of big scary friends.
This was meant to be a quick warm up, but it turned into a comic that I’ve wanted to draw for a while. This is something that is extremely important to me, and I appreciate it if you read it.
A while ago, I heard a story that broke my heart. A family went a cat shelter to adopt. The daughter fell in love with a 3-legged cat. The father straight up said “absolutely not”. Because he was missing a leg. That cat was that close to having a family that loved him, but the missing leg held him back. Why?!
Many people have the initial instinct of “nope” when they see an imperfect animal. I get it, but less-adoptable does NOT mean less loveable. 9 out of 10 people will choose a kitten over an adult cat. And those 10% that would get an adult cat often overlook “different” animals.
All I want people to do is be open to the idea of having a “different” pet in their lives. Choose the pet that you fall in love with, but at least give all of them a fair shot at winning your heart.
Don’t dismiss them, they deserve a loving home just as much as any other cat. They still purr, they still love a warm lap, they still play, they still love you. Trust me, next time you are in the market for a new kitty, just go over to that one cat that’s missing an eye and see what he’s all about!
Can someone please explain to me what evaporated milk is? Wouldn’t that just be gas by definition? I live in constant fear

hey don’t cry. spiro the bald eagle failing at catching a crab, okay?
the food situation on voyager is so fucking dire compared to every other star trek series like their chef is cooking for a bunch of alien species he’s never encountered before and has no idea what their palates are like so he’s just throwing shit at a wall and hoping it sticks, they can barely use the replicators, and they can’t even go over to the captain’s quarters for a nice homecooked crew meal because unlike every other starfleet captain she’s so bad at cooking she can burn replicated water. that’s the real horror of the show tbh
