I think about Chumbawamba a lot because they were a bunch of serious anarchists who advocated for stealing their albums from chain stores and poured their drinks on the UK deputy prime minister during a performance and they got their start on the record label that Crass ran at the time but my first introduction to Chumbawamba was the use of Tubthumping in the 1998 classic Air Bud 2

Polycephaly is the condition of having more than one head.

Two-headed animals (called bicephalic or dicephalic) and three-headed (tricephalic) animals are the only type of multi-headed creatures seen in the real world, and form by the same process as conjoined twins from monozygotic twin embryos.

While two headed snakes are rare, they do occur in both the wild and in captivity at a rate of about 1 in 10,000 births.

Most wild polycephalic snakes do not live long, but some captive individuals do. A two-headed black rat snake with separate throats and stomachs survived for 20 years.

Why does this seem to happen to snakes so often compared to other animals? I mean, you don’t see this happen to dogs or cats very often but snake embryos seem almost eager to mix it up every once in a while and pull a two-for-one deal in the head department.

The consensus seems to be that polycephaly occurs more often in reptiles than other animals, but the why of it, as far as I could find out, is relatively unknown. Polycephalic animals appear so infrequently and they survive for such a short time that scientists just have not been able to study them sufficiently. If anyone can find more information about why it happens more often in reptiles, feel free to chime in. In the meantime, enjoy these two-headed lizards and turtles:

Middle Sister Dodomeki

There’s three of them! Youngest has one eye, Middle sis has two and Eldest has three on their head. Dodomeki are Yokai with rows upon rows of eyes on their arms. They were once women who have a knack for pick-pocketing. Their greed and insatiable need to steal would transform them into Yokai. The eye thing is a word play on the term bird’s eye, which refer to coins with holes. 

I’m giving the smoother shading style another go. Naaaaah! I should stick to my gut! I draw better when I’m not serious, that’s after serious practice. I keep forgetting the fact that practice sharpens your sense of design and taste. So it becomes instinctive.

“Always, racist tropes about people of color are ones that are used to
keep the white working class from siding with other people in the
working class and looking more toward ideas that the ruling class has as
being of their own, which explains poor white people siding with Trump.
The racist ideas have a utility. That’s the reason why they exist. They
have a utility under this system, and that utility allows a large group
of working-class folks to feel more allied with rich white people than
poor people of other ethnicities.” – Boots Riley
