I made a special trip to go find bone carvers in Bali. There were so many in Tampaksiring (near Ubud) I couldn’t even go in all the stores. Some invited me back to watch carving and interview, and I got some good interview, but I’m wondering if I have time to go back and learn a bit.

This store is Wayan Special Carving, at BaliCarving10.blogspot.com.

WOAH can we see the skull if thats ok?? that sounds so cool (also only 20€????)

Also since it's hollow you can stick led lights in there for this sort of effect (pardon the mushy quality):

#like I said it's a real Asian water buffalo skull #these are carved by hand in Indonesia mostly in Bali I believe #to my understanding skull carving is a long standing tradition over there but most pieces like this seem to be made for & sold to tourists #I got this one second (third?) hand and I suspect that perhaps the seller didn't know what it was and what they're worth #and yet they graciously agreed to go through the trouble of packaging it carefully and shipping it to the other side of the country #which couldn't have been very easy since it's a big and heavy skull #answered #apricottheapricat #vulture culture #animal death #cw animal death #taxidermy #cw taxidermy

The horns on this cape buffalo skull have been colonized by the horn moth (Ceratophaga vastella), a relative of the clothes moth. The caterpillars are able to digest the keratin in old horns, and the protuberances you see are cases or towers the caterpillars build using their own feces, as protection from predators.

Masai Mara, Kenya, July 2023.

Thought I’d seen the last of the giants for a while…then this guy rolled in.

This beast is a bull Bison, and he’s twice as large as the cow bison I did a while back.

And, yes, that is the same buck I used for a size comparison last time, just so you can see just HOW much bigger this monster is.

I've been watching videos and following reporters in gaza documenting all the destruction and aggression and it's horrible, but for some reason i found the videos of israelis moking prisoners with children's songs even more unnerving. It's objectively not as bad, but something about seeing people delight in the cruelty, and how kids are taught to dehumanize others so young, it gets under my skin and disturbs me

Yeah like I've seen some horrible shit (all those videos and photographs of dead bodies, which I personally do not like to share but I GET why people do) but something about seeing people being so balls off the wall cartoonishly evil and then posting about it online for the clout gave me such a visceral reaction like nothing else

#it reminds me of white people in the south posing with lynched black men posing for the camera and smiling #white frontiersman posing in front of mountains of buffalo skulls #nazis photographed doing literally anything

“The significance of the moth is change. Caterpillar into chrysalis, or pupa, and from thence into beauty.” -Hannibal Lector, The Silence of the Lambs
