Mystery object.

While helping to clean out my Grandparents office I found this mystery item.

I was curious if anyone on here might know what it is or what it was used for. Found amongst the stationary.

Thank you for your help!

UPDATE: Thank you to all who responded and helped solve this mystery. I've never come across a cord grommet like this, but now that I know what it is, I can put it to good use. ^^ so thank you!

So queue checks are basically telling us what requests are coming up. For example, you’d say

A beach request for X character

A do it for me request for Y character

A birthday request for Z character

Ooh! Thank you for explaining! You’re so kind! 💛

So it’s not something I’ve done before, and isn’t something I’d do unprompted, because I would never remember to do it regularly..

But I’d have no problem doing so if asked to from now on ❤️

FUCKING YES!!!’

The villain laughs. “The Chosen One cannot spill blood on holy ground. I have won!” You draw your blade. “The Chosen One died the first day of our journey,” you say. “A Valet may spill blood where he pleases.”

I think people should be allowed to sleep in the same bed in a non sexual and non romantic way. I think cuddles can happen non sexually and non romantically. I think most acts of affection are non sexual and non romantic until you make it sexual or romantic (other than the obvious things like actual sex is sexual)

I have finally finished season 2 of Arcane and can now enjoy your art without fear!!! They should be happy together 🥺

I take it "they" means zaundads because that is what I've been drawing the most BUT, lets be honest, applies to like 98% of the characters in the show.

They should've been a big happy familyyyy

[honnojis]

bunch of dandadan stuff i've drawn/pixeled lately! figured i'd compile it all in one post rather than posting all of them separate lmao

re: the Reich-Toffler shoulder pat incident, I wouldn’t say that you’re necessarily reading too much into it. Considering that the actor wrote the monologue you’re referring to in the deleted scene, it would make sense for him to consider the implications of that trauma throughout his performance. My overall Angst Read on it is that Reich reacts the way he does to Toffler’s reaction because, even when he’s trying to be nice and supportive to someone, he still manages to scare them. I think he has a sneaking suspicion that all he’s capable of anymore is hurting people.

Hello! I completely forgot that the actor wrote that monologue; thank you. But yeah, I think it does all tie back to this underlying idea that all he can see himself doing is hurt people, that that’s the thing that lies at his core. I think I sort of halfway talked about it somewhere on here in something about freeze vs fight responses, and how that would affect Boyd and Reich’s views of themselves: something about how we tend to view our instincts as being who we really are, and how fight responses can consequently make you feel like you’re fundamentally someone who hurts people.

The Exotic Animal Photo Reference Repository is live!

You can find it at: https://www.animal-photo-references.com!

Here's how this repository works: all photos were taken by me, a human, at zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, and other facilities with animals in human care. There is no AI involved in the photo editing or creation and there never will be. Right now there's 56 species on the site; my catalog has over 300 and I will be uploading the rest of them as fast as I can.

Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use these references. Yes, even for work you're going to sell.

All other usage/reproduction requires permission, but assume I'm friendly and please do ask! That's educators, researchers, the media, people who need images for a school presentation, etc. This is just to retain copyright/control in case they're scraped/reused unethically - it doesn't meant I don't want folk to have access! So please do reach out via the contact form on the repository website, I don't bite and I'm most likely going to say yes.

Please don't repost the repository photos to your own blogs: I've created @animalphotorefs as a dedicated blog to share photos from the site, and of course I'll reblog a lot of it here! That again just helps with retaining copyright and sourcing of the images. If you really want to repost some for a specific purpose, please just ask me first!

Also, folks, this project has no funding. It's just me and my camera.

There will never be a paywall on the site - I believe resources like this absolutely must be free for everyone to access. So please, please, please support the repository if you use it. Want sneak peeks at photos, cute videos I take, or to help choose what I photograph and what gets posted first? You can do that through Patreon (and there's a free trial on the most interactive tier!) If you'd like to just drop a tip, I've also set up a Ko-Fi.

I can't wait to hear what everyone thinks of the repository.

To whet your thirst for cute photos, here's an Indian rhinoceros contemplating a goose.

the memes and jokes about biden dropping out are all great but PLEASE dont turn away and forget the victims of him directly funding a genocide. these are real people that are still being impacted by his cruelty, their tragedies are still ongoing and they need our support more than ever.

if I can suggest a Palestinian family to support, I'll highly recommend Yusuf and his family—who has been vetted for [here]. The GoFundMe breaks down the costs, including the urgent need for an eight year old child to have a kidney replacement, but only €8,404 is currently needed for his family to pay crossing and coordination fees!!
