How many murders you think have been prevented by the fact noise-cancelling headphones are things that exist?

#some days I'm not even using them to listen to music #I just have the noise-cancelling turned on to block out everything else #sometimes the world is too loud and I just want everything to shut up for a little while #usually there's music though #public transit is a lot more tolerable when you can lose yourself in your own choice of tunes #music #headphones #I am rocking the Sony WH-1000X M3 #so comfy #the M5 model is out now and probably even better #but also more expensive #mine still work fine so I'm not looking to upgrade any time soon #I am never again flying without noise-cancelling headphones #no idea how I put up with that constant engine drone on all those flights over the years

This is a super-simple "resting wolf" type of xeno. I think I made it as a kiriban for someone way back in 2007.

Prismacolors over watercolor.

Period tracking software that shares data with anyone is extremely dangerous in today's post Roe v. Wade world. The nice developer who is Early Owl Software made a free one that stores everything locally, shares ZERO data, is ad free, and is free to use.

Alas, Android only. If anyone knows an iOS tracker that's safe to use like this feel free to jump in.

I live elsewhere now but I spent the first twenty years of my life in the GTA (the Greater Toronto Area, not the Grand Theft Auto universe). I personally have always enunciated all the letters ("Toh-ron-toh"), but "Tronno", "Toronno", "Tronto", "T.O." and "T-dot" are all acceptable variations.

Can I even properly vote on this? There is no "both" option, and my approach switches between them depending on where I am. At home heading out? Socks first, then shoes/boots. Switching to/from work shoes? Sock-shoe because I'm doing it standing up and balancing on one leg (yes I change socks as well as shoes when I arrive at/depart from work). Changing socks when out hiking is also a one-foot-at-a-time thing.

Ideally I would just go everywhere barefoot, but that's not really an option given the local climate and my job and some of my hobbies (closed-toe shoes in the workshops always).

I’m having a spirited debate and need a larger sample size

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

Cybertruck really is the gift that keeps on giving, as long as you don't own one.

In case anyone else needed a good belly laugh today.

This is World Cancer, one of my rare request-pieces I did for a DeviantArt friend. It was something I'd planned to do for myself anyway, and I asked him and a couple of other friends if I could include their characters in the image. He's the green guy front-and-center. My gang is the brown Predator, the multi-armed weirdo behind her, and the gold guy behind him. The other three were friends who came along for the glory and honor of killing a planet.

Somewhere in my notes from twenty years ago, I have the outline of a story that explains what the heck is going on here. The short version is that there's this entire planet that has gone cancerous - it's a world-sized teratoma with all the tentacular horror that one could imagine. Our intrepid Hunters need to find a way to kill it before it eats any other planets and grows large enough to start attracting things to it with a deepening gravity well.

I made this with Prismacolor pencils over an ink drawing.

A few days ago I thought: "I wanna build a theremin and then bring it to the cat shelter and see what happens," and then this video pops up on my dash.
