Does anyone else get those YouTube ads where someone just sings platitudes about procrastination at you and it sounds like a Whose Line segment where they have to spontaneously come up with a youth-targeted Broadway song on the topic so they're just full, run-on sentences that don't rhyme delivered in a vaguely rhythmic manner that can't really be described as a tune. Possibly the worst thing so far to (doubtlessly) be entirely generated by AI

After the Bath

or, Why All Fairies Have Pointy Ears

You are a pearl, that fop had said, and London is your oyster. But what was an oyster? A hard, ugly thing, plated in salt and grit. Layers of razor-sharp shell swelling like a tumor and calcifying, fortifying themselves against outsiders whose fingers could be cut to ribbons for the sin of wanting to eat. Ugly, stinking, coarse and inhospitable, oh she had seen that London. And what was a pearl? An irritant, a bit of grit or a starving parasite, that penetrated the vicious shell and became coated in a beautiful, shining casing, made harmless, but allowed to stay in the soft, milky-white safety of the shell’s interior. Diana had always sneered at the religious, believing them to be gullible and stupid, and yet a persistent superstition had hung about her neck like a weight since her earliest childhood. Let him be more right than he knows, it made her pray now, let that be a sort of prophecy, even from the lips of a cretin. It couldn’t mean nothing, not on the night she had made her entrance into London society.

Extremely fair point and you're probably right, the theory is not watertight nor uncontroversial etc - but I put it to you that the average person trying to draw a picture of a hand using their own hand as a reference will draw a really bad hand despite having seen many hands in their life. Mostly I just love the idea of them being self-portraits!

They were probably self portraits all along 🗣🗣🗣

"The puzzling proportions of the Venuses’ bodies may be explained if we think about the perception of one’s body in the prehistoric era. Today, we are well aware of how our bodies look from the outside – the abundance of mirrors, reflective surfaces, cameras, and media representation allows us to see ourselves from every possible angle and perspective.

In the hunter-gatherer society, however, one of the few chances to get familiar with one’s body was simply lowering one’s gaze to inspect it. This angle inevitably led to distorted proportions. Take a look at your own limbs and torso: you will notice the shrunken feet and shortened arms, similar to those on prehistoric figurines."
