parents were amazed how well the dogs walked on leash so in case this trick is more uncommon than I thought here’s my training technique

If a dog pulls on the leash just stop and stand there

that’s it that’s the trick you become a seat belt it works real fast. Start walking again if they stop pulling & even better if you wait until they look at you first (sometimes u might have to call them back to stop pulling if they are a bit dumb)

Guys.

Y’all.

I…

I just. I just… i have discovered something. And I have laughed too much. I have laughed every time I have tried to explain it to someone. I cannot get through this.

Look. Okay.

There are two things you need to know, here.

First: There’s a style of Greek pottery that was popular during the Hellenic period, for which most of the surviving examples are from southern Italy. We call them ‘fish plates’ because, well, they’re plates, and they’re decorated with fish (and other marine life).

Like this one, currently in the Met:

photo of a fish plate from above. it is a black disk with fish designs in red. There are two bream and a torpedo fish around a central divot in the plate. there are also smaller illustrations of a mussel, a murex, and a articulately impressively executed shrimp.

Or this one, currently in the Cleveland Museum of Art:

another fish plate from above. It had a large octopus, several large bream fish decorated with dots and stripes, as well as tiny details such as shells and even some tiny octopuses.

They’re very cool. We’re not 100% sure what they were for, because most of the surviving ones were found as grave goods, but that’s a different post.

The second thing you need to know is that when we (Classics/archaeology/whatever as a discipline) have a collection of artefacts, like vases, sculptures, paintings, etc. and we do not know the name of the artist, but we’re pretty sure one artist made X, Y and Z artefacts, we come up with a name for that artist. There are a whole bunch of things that could be the source for the name, e.g. where we found most of their work (The Dipylon Master) or the potter with whom they worked (the Amasis Painter), a favourite theme (The Athena Painter), the Museum that ended up with the most famous thing they did (The Berlin Painter) or a notable aspect of their style. Like, say, The Eyebrow Painter.

Guess what kind of pottery the Eyebrow Painter made?

photo of a fish plate depicting two fish and an eel. they all have eyebrows. The fish have arched eyebrows that make them look angry, the eel's eyebrows give it a slightly confused appearance.

a fish plate with a torpedo fish and two other fish. They all have eyebrows that make them look angry. The torpedo fish also has an open mouth, making it look like it is shouting about something.

another fish plate. this one had an eel, a torpedo fish, and another fish. The fish looks angry, but the eel and the torpedo fish both have open mouths full of teeth and appear to be grinning, with eyebrows that make them look like they're gonna cause some trouble.

Illustration of an anthropomorphic tabby cat, sitting upright on a curb with its elbows on its knees, face resting on one paw as if waiting and bored.

Not impressed. Not interested. Not listening. 1956. Source.

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
