Observational Studies I Did Yesterday At The Aquarium

light and color study of a large floor to ceiling fish tank along a slightly curved wall, painted with a rough-edged brush. The tank glows blue against the dimly lit hall, with the figures of two small children and a kneeling adult silhouetted against it. Brilliant orange, blue, and gold fish dot the tank against purple rock formations. The bottom of the tank is lined with silver sand, and above the top of the tank are glowing signs with information about and pictures of the fish.

light and color studies of fish in an aquarium tank, painted with a thick rough edged brush. In the upper left corner is a square digital painting of brightly colored fish swimming against magenta and muted gold rock. The water is blue and the sand is silver. In the upper right corner is a moorish idol, its stripes dark blue and silver. In the lower left corner are two fish: a purple fish with a yellow tail, and a blue palette surgeonfish. In the lower right corner is a square digital painting of brightly colored fish swimming in muted blue water against purple rock, rust colored coral, and light blue sand.

light and color studies of underwater scenery and fish. On the left hand side is a vertical rectangular panel with a roughly painted underwater scene. Rock formations create pillars and arches in the light blue water, through which green and silver fish dart. In the foreground is green, orange, and purple coral. On the right are studies of fish: a saddle butterflyfish, a threadfin butterflyfish, and an emperor angelfish. The last one is a light yellow butterflyfish against a light purple rock background.

Two vertical panels of underwater light and color study, both greenish in hue. The left one depicts gray-green rock formations. with shelves of darker rock, shiny light green fish swimming by. The right one depicts rock formations creating a doorway through which bluer waters can be seen. Gray and green coral grow along the rock. Fish with dark tails and fins flit past.

A rough square digital painting of a sea turtle drifting in green water. Light reflects off the mottled shell. Hills of rocks covered in green, blue, and magenta rocks roll beneath the turtle. Bubbles drift upwards around her.

Two vertical panels of underwater light and color study. The left one depicts an orange kelp plant growing upright in dark blue water. It stands in front of gray rock and pink coral. It is rooted in blue-gray peblles. The right one depicts a green-gray rock forming an arch through which silver fish drift through. Lumpy coral formations in shades of green, purple, and orange dot the landscape.

Two horizontal panels of a sea lion swimming in light blue water. Light scatters scross the surface. In the first panel, the sea lion glides entirely underwater, only visible as an indistinct but sleek gray shape. In the second panel, the sea lion’s back and head break through the surface. Water droplets fly and a dark, whiskery snout points up.

So, last time, it was the Superbowl. Now it's the Oscars. If there was any doubt that Israel was intentionally trying to obscure its operations from western eyes by using a major media event as cover, it can be done away with. The IOF knows its atrocities in Gaza and Rafah are heinous and unacceptable, and it's intentionally trying to hide them.

All eyes on Rafah.

“By the usual measures, Biden should be cruising to reëlection. Violent crime has dropped to nearly a fifty-year low, unemployment is below four per cent, and in January the S. & P. 500 and the Dow hit record highs. More Americans than ever have health insurance, and the country is producing more energy than at any previous moment in its history. His opponent, who is facing ninety-one criminal counts, has suggested that if he is elected he will fire as many as fifty thousand civil servants and replace them with loyalists, deputize the National Guard as a mass-deportation force, and root out what he calls “the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country.””

— Joe Biden’s Last Campaign

as bad as the situation currently is any Republican President would make it even worse like these are not two equal choices like not voting is voting to make a terrible situation even worse I’m tired of people acting like voting do Biden is condoning all of his actions it’s very much not we have free speech for a reason you can vote for someone and also burn effigies of them in a demonstration these are not contradictory behaviors and idk why people can’t wrap their heads around that nobody who runs for President is ever gonna be a great person war crimes come with the job but acting like slightly less war crimes is the same thing as a butt ton more war crimes is just stupid harm reduction is the name of the game as much as possible <prev tags very well put Biden's awful trump is worse

with that 4B post it feels like. like yes it is trans exclusionary and that is a huge problem but once again i am begging y'all to learn what radical feminism actually is. if you need radfems to be openly and vocally transphobic before you start questioning them then you simply do not understand anything at all about radical feminism. like frankly the female separatism should have put you on edge before you ever knew for a fact it was trans exclusionary. & I feel like there's gonna be a lot of people who say it sucks that they are trans exclusive and then not comment at all on the way they also dehumanize anyone they consider male. but god! anything to avoid having to admit that maybe misandry is an actual problem with actual negative effects on the world right!

"How many genders are there" legitimately I think there are as many genders as there are people on earth, you can be a boy but is your version of boy 100% identical to any other boy?
