A professor gave us an extra credit option: take a picture of yourself outside, doing something that you would not usually do. We were told not to take it too seriously. Here is my entry:

I maintain that sticking my head in the mailbox is not something I do on a regular basis.

I fucking hate James Tissot’s paintings because in ALL OF THEM there is ALWAYS someone staring right at you, but it’s not always immediately visible. You just feel watched by this mf. Sometimes the little shit is right there at the centre, but others the bastard is just gazing from the distance, it is CREEPY, my guys

extremely cool that the removal of wolf protections in europe are being driven by an eu official having one of her horses killed by a wolf. literal cartoon villain shit

#This reminds me of how my country's goverment tried to pass a bill #That would allow bears to be hunted #The only species native to my country is brown bear which his endangered #And there's only one documented death by bear attack in 30 years of my country existing #Like you are nore likely to be killed by a wild boar or even domestic animals or lighting #Oh and they also wither treid to pass or passed and act that would allow companies to cut down centuries old trees #Which were so far protected by law on accoutns of being natural and historic treasure #And a partof the reasoning given was that bears could hide behind them an attack humans #Notbign about hoe one politician has a relative who has a company that specializes in making expensive furniture out of old trees

It’s a shame how much nautical stuff is focused on the royal navy, especially the ships. Enough about the battleships. Here’s some beautiful boats from other cultures.

(Left) This is a traditional Somali ship known as a beden. Traditionally, the planks are sewn together with coconut fiber instead of hammered with nails. Did you know ancient Somalia had a maritime empire?

(Right) Galway hooker, from Galway Ireland. The original cloth sails were treated with a solution made from treebark to protect them from rot, which just so happened to turn the sails their iconic rusty red color, and modern synthetic sailcloth is dyed to imitate this.

(Left) Viking boats (amongst others) were built with the planks overlapping (clinker) instead of being flush (carvel) this provides flexibility for the boat to bend instead of break in rough seas but still maintains strength.

(Right) a Māori waka taua (decorated war canoe). This particular one is Ngā Toki, and it previously held the world record for longest canoe at 123 feet long and 6 1/2 wide).

Four more that I know less about:
