I just wished Maurice (i guess it's him but who knows at this point) would not have pissed into my drawer. Even with the enzyme spray it still reeks of cat piss because it soaked in there for a good couple of days i assume :') Oh well. Maybe another coating will do the trick.

what's your favorite flavor of dirt aunt mouse?

I curse my own existence for admitting this

My deepest darkest secret

... its clay

the same part of my brain at age five that wanted to eat the playdough now wants to eat the clay. Sand is all gritty. Silt can be kind of dusty if its dry. But clay.... the toddler part of my brain wants it.

I'll place myself in self-exile from the archaeology-ness for this admittance

So I was sculpting a figure of Porcia and did not get to finish it today and the studio I sculpt at will be closed for construction until July so. I will have to keep the wip sufficiently damp for two months. ahhdhdcjacvhcggf

Look, despite the fact that (as of feet of clay) ive barely heard a peep out of Sybil, I’m quite fond of her. That being said, I want what Vimes and Vetinari have. Carnally.

Cat Litter Review No One Asked For

OKAY so! I did use that fancy ass Pretty Litter, because my co-worker recommended it, and I'm looking for a low/no dust litter for Bean because of his asthma. And this stuff is advertised as "beneficial for cats with asthma" due to it's low dust formula. I used the unscented for the same reason.

One bag is supposed to last two months, but Bean digs and so has a huge box because otherwise he'd kick it All Over the Place, so I had to use the whole bag. It's like $30 a bag, which I'm already not jazzed about. It's also an opaque white, so it of course gets immediately lost on the floor, making it difficult to clean up tracking. And it tracks like a motherfucker.

Also y'all. Y'all? My main issue? There is absolutely dust and it is disgusting. Some minor dust when you initially pour it in, which is fine. Whatever. You're supposed to stir the litter daily. The first few times were fine, just a little dusty. But by the end of the first week I had to cover my face because the minor dust cloud becomes a PISS DUST CLOUD. And the cloud gets bigger as the month progresses.

I talked to my co-worker about it, and they apparently have an automatic litter box, which might be better for this but oh my god.

Bean did not like it at first. He put one paw in and immediately stepped out. After a few minutes he was fine, because he did have to use the bathroom. If you've got a really picky cat, texture might be an issue for you.

I used it for the month, following instructions, and it does trap odor fine. Clean up is easier than a clay based litter. It doesn't clump or stick to the scoop, and when I cleaned out the box I didn't have to scrub. I will say it's convenient to only have to scoop the solid waste, as the litter does absorb the piss. But my god. Seriously. The fucking piss cloud.

This stuff does change colors, which is supposed to help with monitoring your cat's health. It stayed piss yellow for Bean the whole time, thank fuck. Maybe if you have a cat with other health issues it might be more helpful.

It's not a purchase I'll be making again, just between the price, the piss dust, and the tracking. It seriously gets everywhere, you'll have silica all over the fucking place. The convenience of only having to scoop solid waste is not worth it for me.

TL:DR - OH GOD. THE PISS DUST. 6/10.

How can these be natural? They look like H.R. Giger sculpted them.

new irrational phobia: naturally-occurring sandstone concretions found in France known as "gogottes"

Wish I could be an apprentice of some kind. Like metal work or making stones into jewelry. And restoring as well

Redid my Empires season 1 Joel, easily my favorite perspective to watch

While I DO understand the point of the full British suit. I hate it and I wanted to do smthn different

So I took inspiration from Arabic Sultans as well as the Anasazi tribes (the ppl who built the Mesa-Verde ), I wanted to give a colorful but sharp and prideful air to him, sort of like a flashy bird

So mostly pinks, blues, and greens that would stand out strongly against the dusty oranges of the Mesa, as he wants to be seen EASY. His main color is the pinkish-purple of his original jacket w/ complementaries of the yellow and green, with blue to add visual diversity. The patterns are inspired off of north-mexican native weaving patterns & Arabic geometric architecture, but heavily simplified

He has pearls littered around his clothes from Lizzie bc he loves her <33 he has a leaf on his head that he insists is normal and natural bc he doesn't believe in magic (he also ignores his enchanted items)

Joel is also actually usually really dirty/dusty, and he takes extreme care to be presentable to any other rulers, he goes thru like 7 pairs of gloves a day cus they get stained real easily

He's very strong tho, from carrying all the clay/concrete, he can pick up lizzie no probles 💪💪 may redraw Joey next idk
