Just read this quote: it may be one of my new favorites. I might even read the book it came from, just for this quote.
“The only darkness we should allow into our lives is the night, for even then, we have the moon.”
— Warsan Shire, Our Men Do Not Belong To Us
These are beautiful, so atmospheric I wish I could step right into them.

Anybody else sing that in their head when reading it?

“Oh you may not think I’m pretty, But don’t judge on what you see, I’ll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I’m the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all.
There’s nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can’t see, So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you’ve a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin You’ll make your real friends, Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends.
So put me on! Don’t be afraid! And don’t get in a flap! You’re in safe hands (though I have none) For I’m a Thinking Cap!”

By far my favorite painter, although he was a troubled soul he truly did have a gift for color (and For self-portraits).
I'm not sure if I should be amazed or worried by how far animatronics have come as far as realism goes. If they can make entertainment robots be so animated and move realistically, whose to say they haven't already made some for more "productive" purposes...
it took me like 3 minutes to process the fact that this wasnt cgi
Cool armor bro
Armadillo Cloak- Wondrous item (cape), Uncommon
The outside of this cloak has a rough, leathery texture, while the inside is soft like velvet, and the cloak itself is large enough to swaddle your whole body. The cloak has 5 charges, and regains 1d4 charges each day at dawn. As an action on your turn, you can draw the cloak around yourself and speak the command word, expending a charge as you do so and causing it to harden into a sphere that fully encloses you. Then as part of the same action you can move up to your speed by rolling along the ground. During this movement you can move through hostile creature’s spaces as if they were difficult terrain, and when you move through a creature’s space, make a melee weapon attack against it. On a hit, the attack deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage plus your Strength modifier. At the end of your movement, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt this way.

This is beautiful, I'd be curious to know exactly where the original saying came from.
After this image became so popular, the quote passed me by on an almost daily basis. Eventually, my brain settled on a bit more darkish interpretation of ‘the crows leading you home’.
Made for inktober initially, original drawing can be found here
Very interesting, I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Something I find incredibly cool is that they’ve found neandertal bone tools made from polished rib bones, and they couldn’t figure out what they were for for the life of them.
Until, of course, they showed it to a traditional leatherworker and she took one look at it and said “Oh yeah sure that’s a leather burnisher, you use it to close the pores of leather and work oil into the hide to make it waterproof. Mine looks just the same.”
“Wait you’re still using the exact same fucking thing 50,000 years later???”
“Well, yeah. We’ve tried other things. Metal scratches up and damages the hide. Wood splinters and wears out. Bone lasts forever and gives the best polish. There are new, cheaper plastic ones, but they crack and break after a couple years. A bone polisher is nearly indestructible, and only gets better with age. The more you use a bone polisher the better it works.”
It’s just.
50,000 years. 50,000. And over that huge arc of time, we’ve been quietly using the exact same thing, unchanged, because we simply haven’t found anything better to do the job.
