Sleepy

Met Museum photo of an Ancient Egyptian artist’s painting of a swallow on a flake of limestone, dated to the New Kingdom, Dynasty 18, joint reign of Hatshepsut and Thutmose III, c. 1479-1458 BC. The sparrow stands in profile with head to the right. It is delicately painted with a pinkish body. The outline and details are highlighted in a reddish/brown pigment. It’s legs, eye, and beak are painted black. Limestone flake dimensions H. 6.6 cm x W. 10.6 cm. This may have been a practice drawing of the sparrow hieroglyph which was used for words meaning ‘small’, ‘poor’, or ‘bad’. Egyptian artisans who decorated tombs and temples made practice sketches on flakes of limestone which are known by egyptologists as ostraca (singular: ostracon). Sometimes the drawings were used as a template when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple. Limestone flakes were readily available for this purpose as by-products of the construction of temples and rock-cut tombs. A number of ostraca were recovered at Deir el-Bahri during the 1922-23 MMA excavations.

Artists have always loved to sketch!

Some 3,500 years ago in Egypt, artists used small flakes of limestone as sketchpads!

if you’re looking for a weekend read, here’s my newest story 🤍

Namjoon’s pfp on Instagram of a cat with its paw raised

Why did Namjoon change his IG pfp to a photo of Yoongi squaring up to bap somebody?!

Bro are they insta mavens or what every time I log on someone’s posting something cute

Work sucked but at least there was BTS on insta

No new thread this week, but there are 3 more fests open for prompting:

and then you got vmin.....doing....whatever the hell they're doing 😂

world stop.

Karlach from bg3, standing and looking to the side with a lovely smile on her face. She looks really cute. Trust me!

The light of my life actually!!!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

It might have been ninja running it, but I’m not sure! I just remember that they helped share timelines and info and stuff about ongoing fests and then shared the works that came out after, and they followed a bunch of cool fests as well.

And yeah… so much is going onnnnn TT

Why does it feel like I have to choose between a drama free life and the kind of work I love

✨🐚🌊

Legit looked at Joon’s pics and thought “oh, he’s growing his hair out?”
Fuzzy joon will be missed but I’m excited to see where he’s going

Every time Tae is on a magcover I marvel at how well he grew into his face. Like damn. Adorable to cute to sweet and handsome like how does it feel to be so-

u know that feeling when u find a new writer whose writing just knocks ur socks off, and then ur just like 'im in love with ur brain' can i sit in it for awhile?-- that feeling right there is 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

k-rpf scene uses unsearchable terms for member names. here’s the more “creative” ones i used to use:

NJ: rap mole, literature girl
SJ: 오라버니 (Historical Drama way of saying “oppa”)
YG: divorcé
HS: jesus-nim
JM: lad from busan, snake man /pos
TH: love alien, vegetarian tiger
JK: baby maltese, mr. abc

Ahhh you reminded me of when I followed an account whose express purpose was to share other fests! There’s also at least one account I know of on twt that recommends stories as their entire thing. Maybe we could use a couple of those here 🤔 in the meantime, I need to follow up on my tbr 😭😭😭

how do it put this…
I feel like (for this fandom specifically) maybe it should be less of “omg we need this event for this ship/trope” and more of how can we support the fics that exist for them especially when there’s been a decline in readership/support in general

Artfight attack of 2 OCs, King (@ghostonvhs) and Malice (@cherrycandyi), both posed on an acrobats line. Warm festive light floods from the streets beneath them while the moon shines bright and cold far far above them.

6/7 artfight attacks !

I finally organized my room 🥳 now I just need to make sure I’m up and out of it by 10am tomorrow 🫠

Picture of a dresser tipping over but stopped from falling by an anchor kit. The text reads: Our Anchor It! campaign is 10 years old. 8 years older than dozens of children who have died from falling furniture before their third birthday. Since 2015, we've taught millions of Americans how to anchor their furniture and protect their kids, but there's still more to do. Always Anchor It!

Furniture tip-overs can happen even when you're in the same room as your child. Always Anchor It!
