I came across this drawing in a 15th century book of what is supposedly an extendable dagger, but all I can see is a friendly cartoon character who's about to teach me about siege warfare.

This has to be one of the busiest religious paintings I have ever seen in my life. I thought it was a modern day satire.

There are good things in this world still

Today, I learned the Etruscan shrew is the world's lightest mammal, at just 1.2 grams.

Today, I also learned that Kitti's Hog-nosed bat is the smallest mammal in the world, at just 1.1-1.3 inches in length

Today, I dug a little pack of venison loin from my freezer and thawed it in the sink for a short while. I put the two small pieces on some tin foil and pulled the edges up to make a small bowl, and then added salt, lowry's, garlic, butter, and a little soy sauce, closed the top, and baked it. My little brother showed up just as they finished cooking, to collect a feather he had asked me about earlier this week, and I was able to send him home with one of them for dinner. Also it was delicious and perfectly cooked actually.

A little while ago, I was asked by a stranger if I could mentor them in mouse breeding. I've never mentored anyone, though I know it's apparently a common thing in breeding. Today, I learned her mice had their first litter! She showed me the mice she had to work with, and lamented that they were not the kinds she really WANTED to work with. But I looked at the mice and told her actually, you HAVE all the genes you need for 2 of the 3 colors you want to work with, and you only need pied for the last (which is a common mutation)! So I will be able to help her get to her desired lines!

There are good things left in this world, however small. This is your opportunity to reblog this and share your good things with each other, or check the notes if you need a reminder.
