As someone who does ceramics, that twisted, broken up fork would make an excellent tool for slipping and scoring, or maybe even just texturing. It would make a super cute bug print, or make easy, perfectly spaced lines at a farther difference than a typical fork. It can be used for creating, rather than just feeding some giant machine. Just because it wouldn’t be particularly good at being used as it is expected to be used, which is not to say that a creative person couldn’t find a way to make it work, does not make it useless. In the right hands, even the most seemingly “useless” object can be functional, or even groundbreaking in the right hands.

Also, people aren’t objects, and you dont need to be able to “use” them in order for them to exist.

A friendly guide to describing your OCs (to your artists):

dreriart:

-When describing them, DON`T:

Write 3 pages about your character. One paragraph is more than okay. A few pages for just a general idea of your character will be unconfortable for your artist to keep handy and picture your character correctly.

✿ Include their backstory. Its irrelevant for your artist to know all the details for your ocs personal life.

✿ Just say “its a nice guy :)” try to use descriptive, objective words to describe briefly their personality. The same can be applied to “shes beautiful”. What is beautiful to you? Talk about their specific features!

-Please DO:

✿  Keep it short and simple. 

✿ Include their personality! Facial features mean nothing if we dont know what their demeanor is like! Want expressive art? Be sure to include their personality.

✿ Be as objective as you can. Talk about their body shape, the size and shape of their nose, the color of their hair, specific markings, etc.

A child is a person at every stage of development, and they deserve the right to life.

This information is just…blatantly false? 

At 6 weeks: 

“Inside, cells that will become your baby’s intestines are developing, along with the bud of tissue that will become her lungs, liver and kidneys.”

Not to mention, that at 6 weeks, a fetus doesn’t have the right to violate the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy.

At 7 weeks:

“Now measuring around 1cm long, your growing baby is about the size of a blueberry.

His hands look more like flattened paddles than palms with fingers. His legs and feet will go through the same development as his arms and hands, just a few days later.”

Does this look like it has fingers or toes? Hmm? Does it???

None of this is even considering that a fetus at seven weeks doesn’t have the right to violate the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy.

At 8 weeks:

You’re right that the tiny fetus is moving at this point, but plenty of single-cell organisms are capable of moving as well. We don’t throw fits about taking medicine to kill, say bacteria–a single celled organism, some of which have the capability of movement–when we get sick, now do we? But the rest is bullshit:

“Her hands are developing ridges where her fingers will be. However, her ankles, thighs, knees and toes are not yet distinct.”

How can something without proper hands be left or right-handed? Oh right, because this is mindless fear-mongering, outside of the realm of reality: 

“Most children have a preference for using one hand or the other by the age of about 18 months, and are definitely right or left-handed by about the age of three.”

Notice how it says children, and not fetuses. 

Oh, man, and I forgot to mention, at 8 weeks, it doesn’t have the right to violate the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy.

At 10 weeks: 

Lies, apparently. More lies.

The fetus cannot open its mouth or suck its fingers until week 11.

Fingerprints are not fully formed until 6 months.

Oh, but damnit, again I’ve forgotten: 

A FETUS NEVER HAS THE RIGHT TO VIOLATE A PREGNANT PERSON’S BODILY AUTONOMY!

This mindless fear-mongering only hurts pregnant people who seek to have an abortion for whatever reason they’d like, which is, scientifically speaking, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

Anyway, ultimately your decision about what to do with your body is literally up to no one but you. And trying to take that right away from people is gross. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

The thing that’s so wonderfully baffling to me is that 90% of the prolife argument is built on just making up blatant lies like most conservative causes at least make an effort to have an argument but the prolife movement really out here just makin up shit

who the fuck is out there thinking a 10 week old fetus can suck a thumb. what the fuck
