I'd like to know the origin of this limerick
My staff has murdered giants/ My bag a long knife carries/ To cut mince pies from children’s thighs/ With which to feed the fairies

My girl @govaxyourself is drowning in vet bills after her cat needed emergency surgery two nights ago. He’d somehow swallowed about five feet of yarn (that’s quite a lot of yarn for a cat to swallow) and it had gotten caught in his digestive tract, making him very, very ill. The cost of the surgery was already crushing, but they hadn’t even had him back home a full day before they needed to rush him back to the emergency vet with a fever and an internal infection.
@govaxyourself has maxed out her credit cards and taken out a new one to be able to pay for her cat’s medical care. The current total is nearing $6,000 already, and she’s going to have to apply for another card soon. She’s set up »a GoFundMe«, and everything raised will go directly toward paying off these vet bills and any further charges accrued. If, by some miracle of generosity, more money is raised than she needs, every last extra cent will be donated to the Humane Society where Roman was originally adopted.
Still one of my favorites, that whole abandonment scene in the second GIF makes me tear up a little to this day.
And we’ll always be friends forever. Won’t we? Yeah, forever. The Fox and the Hound (1981) Dir. Art Stevens, Richard Rich & Ted Berman
😍 Love this. I believe I remember seeing another example of this artists work in a contemporary art history class in college. Or was it in a Hi-Fructose magazine? 🤷
love this piece by Javier Pérez titled ‘Carroña’. Ten stuffed crows carefully placed on a shattered red chandelier to look as if they were feasting on a dead animal.

Cool character concepts, definitely giving me Kung fu Panda vibes though.

We are ignorant of the meaning of the dragon in the same way we are ignorant of the meaning of the universe, but there is something in the dragon’s image that fits man’s imagination, and this accounts for the dragon’s appearance in different places and periods.
