Interesting piece on Paul Robeson on NPR this morning. I had not heard his name before, but I'm almost sure I have heard his voice in something, without knowing who it was.

My favorite photo from the article: "During a 1949 concert in Peekskill, N.Y., Paul Robeson was surrounded by veterans and union workers who stood as human shield on stage to allow him to sing at a time when he was blacklisted for his political activism."

You enter a brightly light, nondescript room. In the center of the room is a cat. The cat is screaming about something.

I need my Non-Argentinian mutuals to know today is Female Footballers Day (Día de la Futbolista), because 50 years ago, a team of 14 Argentinian women went to México to play a World Cup that wasn’t recognized by FIFA, and they beat England 4-1 - all 4 goals were made by Elba Selva - crowning themselves and Argentina the world champions.

They went there with no manager, coach, sponsors and donated uniforms. And they made history. Feliz día de la jugadora, gracias por tanto, perdón por tan poco ❤️🇦🇷

My favorite example for this is any type of nightjar

tiny little beak up front

mouth goes allll the way back there

honestly I think the #1 issue I see when people try to draw birds is the mouths. a lot of people and designs in cartoons will end the beak at the featherline like this:

but the featherline isn’t where most birds’ lips actually end, it’s usually a bit past that 

there’s some exceptions (waterfowl like ducks and geese for example) but in general most birds have lips that end somewhere within the feathers between the eye and beak

Size then color, because I'm a quilter and so the stash is like 95% plain weave cotton. Otherwise I'm sure fiber content would play a bigger role.

I like that they stopped to explain leucism vs. albinism

@elodieunderglass I believe that by law this must be shared with you.

Just "Mom"

but! last time I was listening to Jane Austen books I kept noticing that characters would say "my father" "my uncle" "my mother" even when it's two sisters talking to each other. so apparently that was the convention then at least
