Jill is a classy woman who I don’t see nearly enough. I can imagine her with a big billowy tail gracefully swimming close to the surface during moonlit nights to scare and plunder the shit out of people
She has a really dreamy quality about her in real life. :)

The Orca bone atlas is a fantastic resource for whale skeletal anatomy - you can view beautiful renderings of the skeleton and download 3d PDFs of all the bones that can then be rotated and viewed at any angle.
The 3d scans were done by the Idaho Virtualization Laboratory

Here is the thing I can’t stop thinking about with what’s happened here in Minnesota over the course of the past week: the display of support in the Twin Cities was staggering. The level of f*cks not given to those who might be offended by this acknowledgement of equal rights under the law was amazing.
But mostly, mostly. I think about a queer kid, riding in the back of her parents’ car seeing the city lit up like this. Maybe she hasn’t come out yet, maybe she’s been bullied, at home, at school, for being who she is. I can only imagine what seeing this would mean. And then I get teary and proud all over again.
Way to go, Minnesota. Who’s next?

And the movie couldn’t have looked like this BECAUSE?!?
If cosplayers had made the ATLA movie, it would have probably won some Oscars…
Seriously, this was made by teenagers in their spare time because they were bored and it’s still better quality than the movie that took millions of dollars to make.
