As tiring as all this shit is, I can't in good faith continue to use spotify.

For anyone else jumping ship, I used to exportify.app to save my favorite playlists.

This might be Derek Guy's greatest masterpiece.

(The Twitter thread is probably easier to read and easier to look at the images, but I wanted to make sure it got preserved. Images are the tweets.)

More redwall progress!

[schamallach]

SO! here it is! The roof comes off with the rafters attached; the floor for the 'ground' level is also removable--remember that this is designed to sit in about 3 inches of litter. The windows are inset so that after this is fired, I can cut and glue in little panes of stained glass.

I am once again thinking about making a tiny ceramic Redwall for pet mice. (Do I have pet mice? No, not for over a decade now. Am I going to get pet mice? Not unless Vice gets real cool about a lot of stuff real fast. ) I just think it would be really cute and fun to do...

So here's the proposal: two story structure, with the bottom layer intended to be buried in deep litter, and the upper floor at 'ground' level. Maybe a bell tower? Definitely a rose window. Possibly a removable roof; certainly an open back like a dollhouse. All of it would be glazed and sealed (basically, like any food-safe dish) so it could be sanitized and kept clean.

IF I was going to be doing this, I would need to first build a slab storage rack, so that I could make and keep all my slabs at the right moisture level while working. That would require a run to the hardware store, which is dangerous for my wallet.

Is there any reason for me to be doing this? No. But it would be VERY cute.

In 1944 a kitten named George (short for General Electric) was saved from drowning by a U.S. Navy crew member. George was then photographed and given a liberty card and detailed health record. Source.

Little poem for you all this Christmas. I hope you all have a lovely day, whether you're celebrating or not. Treat yourself to something yummy! ❤️

A group of rough looking boys walked past me today and all I heard of their conversation was “he’s got that anxiety disorder bro so I went with him so he’d be more comfortable” and it made me realise the world isn’t all that bad

I’m a little upset because my husband (stressed out little Englishman, old as balls) had never heard Welcome to the Black Parade. What do you mean you’ve never. Like never heard it ever. You’ve heard it, though?? and it turned out that - NO.

And he said: well i wasn’t an American child during the millennium or indeed at any point in my existence now was I? So of course I had to explain about welcome to the black parade, I mean, REALLY. Really? Really!

Anyway unbeknownst to me it CLICKED for him and he liked it in quite a normal, I-will-hear-that-song-again way and he added it to his playlist of what he fondly believes to be similar-sounding songs, which in context affected me like a blow to the back of the head. Sir; your brain. Explain it to me please.

And he was like wdym. Sounds like Queen.

And the thing is. If you are a virgin to MCR and don’t give a damn about anyone or anything and you’re a highstrung little guy who is not an American and is a million years old, and if you spent your ENTIRE teens in a healthy outdoors attitude of underage drinking and smoking and banging other teens on unsupervised hiking trips while being attacked by swans, and other worldly and mentally healthy adventures that did NOT involve being on the internet too young, so that you genuinely wouldn’t know who Gerard Way was if he leapt out from behind a mailbox and bit you suddenly;

If MCR means nothing to you at all, net zero context, net zero interest, genuinely no nostalgia or cringe or judgement or admiration because you are NORMAL,

fuck me. Sure. It DOES - fuck me: okay. You win this Dr Glass. It does - yeah actually you’re right. It’s - it sounds like Queen.

I really feel like this website is sleeping on Black Doves. It's got everything: Spies! Conspiracies! Keira Knightly! Ben Whishaw! They are best friends! They do murder! There are cool POC characters! It passes the bechdel test! The plot is nonsensical! The script is dogshit! The acting is amazing! Ben Whishaw is a hit man and has a gay romance with the softest of all soft boys! No gay people die! Keira Knightly acts like a posh bitch but is secretly not that posh! Keira Knightly successfully pivots into her Liam Neeson action era! She gets covered in blood (hot)! Ben Whishaw (spoilers) shields his soft boy boyfriend from seeing bad things (also hot)! There are Christmas lights and it's surprisingly festive! Its dumb as fuck and kind of a great time!

confirming the Ethiopian wolf pollination hypothesis seems so straightforward in theory, like just erecting anti-wolf barriers around some of the hot poker plants and seeing if those get pollinated at the same rate as the other ones, but also I feel like it could be some lab’s 6 year long project that ends up in Nature and answers more questions about wolf dessert time than I could ever think to ask. and also it would give more beautiful photos of wolves between 3 seconds and 1 hour into passionate nectar indulgence. so hopefully with the media attention they’re getting they can do that

So, Ben is going through some things these days.

You are a supervillain who has just captured your rival’s child. Rather than being afraid, they’re begging you to let them stay.

My ancestors, watching me dump an entire stick of cinnamon, two cloves, an allspice berry, and a generous grating of nutmeg into my tea, sweetened with white sugar and loaded with cream, while I sit in my clean warm house surrounded by books, 25+ outfits for different occasions, and 6 pairs of shoes, in a building heated so well I have the windows open in mid-autumn:

Our daughter prospers. We are proud of her. She has never labored in a field but knows riches we could not have imagined.
