You pay very close attention your body because it doesn’t know how to lie to you, and pay very little attention to your mind because it is lying to you all the time

Anatomical Venus I

Wait please tell me more

I’d be happy to! So there’s been an interesting connection between pornography and anatomical diagrams for a very long time. My research was specifically on the Enlightenment in Europe, but you can find examples dating back to the Renaissance and the Middle Ages. There are a number of “pinups” that were made blending the erotic and the medical, with the subject wearing a coy, coquettish expression while literally baring everything to the viewer. When I say everything, it’s very similar to what you’ve done here: they hold up flaps of skin and show off their internal organs, bone structure, etc. There were even “political cartoons” lampooning this trend.

I’ll link the project here, because I’m afraid if I post some of the images the n*fw filter may bury my response.

!!!! This is so cool, thank you so much for sharing! Super interesting to read. And very fun to see images from the past that are literally….the same concept, amazing

I want to write about the lore regarding the guy in the third panel:

You guys are right that the guy eating food IS the dad from Crayon Shin-Chan. There is an official spin-off that is a gourmet manga starring Shin-Chan’s dad.

The silent man in the third panel is a reference to a certain artist on Pixiv who became a meme because he kept posting gay fanart of himself together with Shin-Chan’s dad, titled “Hiroshi Nohara and me”. Sadly it seems like his account is deleted now.

Anyways that’s the lore! The more you know!

Quick shoutout to the good people at @UniversalPics for trimming the trees that gave our picket line shade right before a 90+ degree week. pic.twitter.com/aZvvPYQ23i  — Chris Stephens (@ChrisStephensMD) July 17, 2023ALT
Whoever "trimmed" those trees may have just killed a bunch of trees on city property, that weren't theirs to trim. Get ready for a fine and sanctions.  — Steven Burke (@SteveBurke2000) July 17, 2023ALT
It so needs to be looked into. If they’ve illegally butchered these trees, they will have to replace them. Hoping LA requires trees of similar age and size. I know it’s nothing to the studios. But still.  — pro-union (@daisybug42) July 17, 2023ALT
My city requires similar age and size. I'm sure LA requires it as well. The replacements are going to cost a small fortune.  — Steven Burke (@SteveBurke2000) July 17, 2023ALT

Not only did I complain on LA's 311 about this but I do happen to know an entertainment reporter over at the LA Times. I just contacted her about this. Welcome to my world. I have a very big vast network of people.  — Steven Burke (@SteveBurke2000) July 17, 2023ALT

You love to see it. (Not the destruction of trees, obvs, but shitheads meeting their oncoming comeuppance at the hands of trees.)

not to rain on the parade, and i absolutely do hope tree law comes through for the WGA, but this is an EXTREMELY normal sight in LA. i have a whole photo album on my phone filled with photos of mutilated street trees.

LA street trees that get “trimmed” are butchered in this exact way, over and over again, year after year. Particularly targeted are these types of huge ficuses that provide dense, cool, and life-saving shade over bus stops and sidewalks. In this largely treeless, grassless, solar oven of a city they offer some of the only shade relief a pedestrian can find. But their dense foliage and tall crowns obscure store signage, and also we prioritize the needs of air conditioned cars over the needs of human beings, so these trees are often cut back to nubs.

in all but the very richest neighborhoods, los angeles is horrible to its trees. it is an unbelievably hostile, anti-human, anti-poor, anti-green place. this is awful, but it is business as usual.
