QUESTION: Why did it take so long to invent self-trimming wicks?!??
Candles have been used for thousands of years, but the self-trimming wick was only invented in the 1800s.
Was it dependent on some other technology or material? What took so long?
I am perplexed!

🦎 Oops! No Lizard pictures today!
But I did see this Lizard yesterday!

Almost adult male green anole on his way down some sort of stem lifts his head to look at us with lizardly disdain.

Sabine and Meg are finally symptom free and allowed out of their crate! Sabine has celebrated by running around smacking everyone.

Best and perfect Cosette who groomed my face and had a big cuddle and then didn't even twitch as I vaccinated her. A++ kittening.

A calico tabby kitten lounging on a bright red blanket. You can see her perfect white back feet and pink toe beans. She is adorable.

Had to take a streaming break while my cat was ill but she's much better now. So I'm back playing co-op puzzle platformer demos from Steam Next Fest with Ambie tonight.

When picking fonts, use simple, familiar, and easily-parsed fonts. Avoid character complexity and ambiguity. Use a limited number of typefaces, fonts, and variations. Consider spacing and weight. Ensure sufficient contrast between the text and background. Avoid small font sizes.

“Thank you for coming, my knight.”

A little blue heron and a crow. The two birds‘ beaks touch and the crow lets out a little heart as they do.

The little blue heron is wearing a helmet, with its faceshield raised, and full plate chest armor.

The crow is perched inside of a cardboard castle. It's wearing a pointed hat with stripes and a long silk fabric twirling down from it. The crow also has on a lovely red bow with a bright red gemstone.

Commission from a few years ago!

Fecto Forgo from Kirby and the Forgotten Land
as a biblically accurate angel beast of mine!!

Lot's of fun with this one! It ended up being a one layer painting with a few fx glows on top~~

#fanart #angel #horrorart #weirdart #fanart

tall vertical limited digital paining, colors of pink, yellow , green and sky blue.
A swirling chaos of a creature, jello like fragmentation , the creature splits off in many eyes, many arms and veins.
In the center is a swirl of angel wings and halos, many many eyes converge into the center.
At the bottom is a large beast with sharp teeth and lion like face grinning. At the top is a baby form of the creature, a small hamster like thing with large wing ears. From this baby creature extends a bunch of tendrils and DNA coils, more glowing eyes in the tendrils.

Getting hooked up to the machine that lets you telepathically communicate with mice so that I can tell them that I love their cute faces and unique abilities but they just scream “GIVE ME PEANUT BUTTER” over and over again.

Toad woke up. “Drat!” he said. “This house is a mess. I have so much work to do.”

Frog looked through the window. “Toad, you are right,” said Frog. “It is a mess.”

Toad pulled the covers over his head.

Toad hides in bed from the mess of his house, while Frog looks on.

New study just dropped linking shingles reactivation and dementia risk.

You know what reactivates shingles? Covid.

Want to avoid it? Wear a well fitted respirator and give yourself the best odds of avoiding Covid infection.

There’s also a shingles vaccine which may help reduce risk!

They do love each other. They didn’t snuggle much while it was hot out, but now that it’s getting chilly again I assume we will see more kitty cat snuggles.

#CatsofBluesky

Ash, a grey and white cat, snuggles with her mother Ember, a tortie cat. They lay next to each other, belly to belly, both giving some side eye to the camera, half asleep.

Anyway before I get back to work does anyone want to see one of the first photos of Fiasco and Franca together (she slipped out of containment and RAN for the cat tree in the office and I was like "NO NO NO, YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO MEET YET -- wait")

a lightly-stunned looking fluffy black kitten with a white patch on her chest, sitting on the middle level of a carpeted cat tree. above her, on the top level, is a fluffy grey tabby with his paws hanging over the edge.

It's time again as a notable Italian-American to note Christopher Columbus was an absolute piece of shit human who didn't land anywhere near this actual country so why the fuck should he stop the mail for the whole day

Anyway, Happy Indigenous People's Day, y'all
