this is one of my favourite crafts, I have a giant cardboard ladybug and a spider hanging on my walls and they are probably my favourite part of my room. They are also a great way to use up extra paper or garbage.
you make an 'skeleton' thing and stuff it with whatever you have around (i recommend putting some paper over it) then add paper mache and paint it. relatively simple and it looks really cool when you're done :)
this is my favourite party trick. i like to make them out of old bus tickets and receipts. i was at a rave the other day and i made one out of a tiny square of rizla card (pictured) and everyone loved it. bonus points if you can get the wings to flap when u pull the tail

I recently read Judith Jarvis Thomson's A Defense of Abortion which covers all it's bases, arguing on multiple fronts that abortion is murder, and is good. Which I feel isn't a common argument. Will have to do a deeper read later.
