HI 

image

I am the potoo

image

I spend most of my time sitting on the edges of tree branches, 

image

pretending to be a stick or dead leaf

image

it’s not as easy as it looks

image

image

I sing virtually exclusively around the period of the full moon

image

because, according to legend,

image

I am a mournful spirit in love with the spirit of the moon

image

I approve of this so much.

shorm: all-four-cheekbones: durnesque-esque: thehippiejew: extrafeisty: jaycubs: A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification. article here i’m never leaving my house again, this world is just too fucked up. WHAT!? gross gross gross gross gross Good morning disgusting. Remember ladies: “No space, leave the place” (fingernail test) A two way mirror must be set INTO the wall, not placed on top of it. If you rap/knock against the mirror, one installed onto a wall (a normal mirror) will make a dull sound, because there’s something behind it. A two-way will have more reverberation. Use the flashlight on your phone to shine on the mirror, if it’s a two-way, you’ll be able to see into the other room. You can also shield your eyes and see in if you lean up against the glass. The room being viewed will have to be brightly lit (10x brighter than the room looking in), so if you’re in a typical dimly lit club bathroom, you’re ok. Spread the word, but that advice about detecting two-way mirrors is false. Actually, only the ‘fingernail test’ is wrong there. The rest of those points are accurate. (I mean, a mirror set into the wall doesn’t mean “this is definitely a one-way mirror!!!”, but it’s an indication that it might be.)

WHAT!?

gross gross gross gross gross

Good morning disgusting.

Remember ladies:

  • “No space, leave the place” (fingernail test)
  • A two way mirror must be set INTO the wall, not placed on top of it.
  • If you rap/knock against the mirror, one installed onto a wall (a normal mirror) will make a dull sound, because there’s something behind it. A two-way will have more reverberation.
  • Use the flashlight on your phone to shine on the mirror, if it’s a two-way, you’ll be able to see into the other room.
  • You can also shield your eyes and see in if you lean up against the glass.
  • The room being viewed will have to be brightly lit (10x brighter than the room looking in), so if you’re in a typical dimly lit club bathroom, you’re ok.

Spread the word, but that advice about detecting two-way mirrors is false.

gunkiss: empartridge: don’t delete artist comments, artist credits, blog sources, or save and repost images to your own blog, etc etc etc. just don’t, man. I’m really tired of seeing my own work and ESPECIALLY the work of my friends stripped of credit. people are posting free content online for you to look at and enjoy, and if the thing they had to say about it or a link to them is too ugly for your dumb blog, don’t reblog it. I know this is the wild wild west of the internet, but try to respect creators. luv u. Well preached! Yup

peabug: getdestroyed-staydestroyed: Sleep Paralysis is a phenomenon in which people, either falling asleep or waking up, temporarily experience the inability to move. Scientifically its the transition state between wakefulness and rest characterized by complete muscle atonia (muscle weakness).  I’ve known several people who have had sleep paralysis, who have even made characters who share the same trait. I’ve never suffered from it myself but I find the folklore around it fascinating, because no matter what nation of origin it always has to do with the visitation of a demon or vengeful spirit who either sits on, restrains, or strangles said victim. And so I drew my own little depiction of it, complete with a demon girl puking black stuff on a guy. I dunno, sue me.  Fun Fact Of the Day #1 the myth of the succubus and incubus came out of the hallucinations people have when they experience sleep paralysis Fun Fact Of The Day #2 this dude’s art is so fucking rad
