went to my best friend’s house last night and saw a little plushie dog and plushie cat that had been sewn together down the middle into a two-headed chimera. I said, “did you do that?” she said, “yes, I saved them.”
turns out at her old job when the last two plushies hadn’t sold and became deadstock, her boss told her to cut them up and throw them out. so she cut them each in half, preserved their heads, and then rebuilt them together.
cannot stop thinking about the way these little plushies were approached with the instinct of a Vampire or some sort of ancient god. “Let me save you [turn you into a monster].”
The fact that the beheading was at the order of a superior, and the solution was to create some sort of monster of disobediance to the letter of the law instead of just lying and saving them adds a certain mythological resonance.

i have this painting i got at a yard sale for free (if i took a broken dresser with it, which i did) and i have been obsessed with it:
so today i was trying to figure out where it was from and the more i searched the weirder it got because near as i can tell it's from the fex valley in the swiss alps which is cool but what kinda chokehold did this specific bridge/cabin have on people
these are two different paintings... and then i found this postcard on ebay
all these ppl painting the same exact image from the exact same random postcard... anyway if anyone knows this spot i would be fascinated to know more but i will live in mystery and if you're wondering "did you buy the postcard" yeah of course i bought the postcard
I found it if you were still wondering
Val Fex is a southern side valley from the Upper Engadine in Switzerland
i know it's in val fex, but where is that exact picture from? that's what i'm trying to figure out... the hunt continues (when i get back from a walk)
however i still know nothing about this little barn... i will live and love in mystery
okay thank you @thepinkpeg who did find this and it turns out it's actually a 17th century cabin now converted into an art exhibit accessed only by foot (or horse). from the outside on the hill above it looks like this:
and inside it contains this:
thank you all so much. i have my answer and it is more fascinating than i could have thought.
one time I was complaining to my reenactment friend about some housing issues I was having as I was getting stuff sorted out at my job and I was frustrated that I wasn’t being put where I wanted to be, and he was like “hm… maybe it’s because it’s a men’s living space? but honestly I think of you more as a guy anyway” and I nearly stopped in my tracks, because this guy is a blue-collar-job-working, MAGA-parent having firearms enthusiast who didn’t go to college and doesn’t really Get the whole gender thing, which I have never specifically talked to him about. but in that moment he got it. like, hit the nail right on the head. and I understand why—it’s not because I told him how I identified, it’s because when I do reenactments I only do men’s roles—I wear men’s clothes, I wield guns, I sleep on the ground and do the 18 mile hikes and whatnot—and to him this makes me functionally a guy in these scenarios, even if I don’t look like one. and it just utterly stunned me to realize that a lot of cis people, even conservative ones, understand that gender is a performance. they understand that gender is expressed by what you do and what you wear and stuff like that. and they’ll admit it to you straight to your face! they just can’t—and won’t—put it into those terms, even though they already believe it
all this being said I still love this friend a lot; I don't necessarily agree with him on everything but it's mostly a product of how he was raised and I think fundamentally he is a kind person who doesn't fully understand. however it does make everything extremely funny because if nothing else he loves that I'm like this and is actively determined to make me More like that. but like. in the most 18th century way possible. like he wants nothing more than for me to spontaneously start liking beer and get drunk with him. it is a goal of his to get me as obsessed with pipe tobacco as he is. he is constantly encouraging me to drop large sums of money on flintlock weapons I cannot afford.

This video has been getting AI accusations and it isn't! All these types of woods exist! Though some of them are local names, I was able to track all of them down! Here are all the woods shown in the video!
Purpleheart Wood: Peltogyne genus, native to Central and South American rainforests. Freshly cut it's light brown, then turns into rich shades of purple. It turns brown in UV light so it has to be finished with a UV inhibitor to keep those gorgeous colors.
Namnu (various): A type of precious wood found in China/South Asia, sourced from various different species of trees, hence the different examples shown here. High grades of the wood are known for the optical effect shown in the video. Unfortunately the types of trees that produce the wood are all critically endangered, which is why the examples shown are all items or pillars or fragments of pieces. The species are all strictly protected and new trees cannot be harvested.
That example in the video is just that one video that goes around with the inside of a tree that's been struck burning while it still stands, but sometimes trees that have been struck by lightning and are cut down can have neat burn patterns in the wood (example), as the lightning goes to ground, so some people might want that. Who am I to judge.
Chicken-blood vine wood: Species is Spatholobus suberectus and it's only that bright when it's cut, it dries to a more woody color. Here's a page with examples of what the wood looks like when it's dried and some things made with it.
Amber wood: This one took a while. There's a video out there claiming this is "petrified amber wood". That's not possible, I'm a geologist I would know. Since the video is in Chinese originally I presume, "amber wood" must be a translated local name. It's sandalwood, which has that gorgeous bright red color. Even tracked down the video the clip is taken from. "Chandan wood" is another name for sandalwood. Which smells amazing.
Rosewood: The most well known of the woods here in my opinion. There's a number of rosewoods, all in various shades of pinks and reds. True rosewoods are from the genus Dalbergia. Sadly they're all endangered, but illegal harvesting continues.
Purple hainan huanghuali: Dalbergia odorifera, the Chinese rosewood.
Pink oak - Likely pink ivory (Phyllogeiton zeyheri). You need a permit to cut down one of these trees, but it really is that pink. One of the most expensive woods in the world, up there with sandalwood.
Burmese huanghuali: Rosewood...3! This is either Dalbergia oliveri or Pterocarpus indicus, but given that Pterocarpus indicus is descripted as having purplish heartwood, I'm guessing it's Dalbergia oliveri. Though it's not a true rosewood, Pterocarpus indicus is also sadly endangered.
Liudao wood: This is Abelia biflora, though it looks like it has been reclassified as Zabelia biflora recently. Either it only looks like that when the bark is being peeled or it's the lighting in the videos. BUT this wood is used in making Buddhist prayer beads because of both its grain pattern connects to philosophy and its mention in Tibetan Buddhist texts.
Thank you for all that work!! I recognized some of the woods (since my siblings in law woodwork) but not all of them, and was going to look into them when I woke up, but you've gone and brought up all the treasure from the rabbit hole!
the irony of seeing a billboard today that had a picture of a deer and said "oh deer! its a distracted driver!"
like wow yeah its dangerous when drivers are distracted by things while they drive, say giant pictures just off to the side of the road that you can see every couple miles or so. we really should do something about that

the new york times has such a great series of elevated butter noodles, if you ever want a super fast easy dinner that still feels grown up and you can emulsify pasta water + butter together basically the sky is your limit
ya got
gochujang butter noodles
peanut butter noodles
chili crisp fettuccine alfredo
miso butter noodles
any one of these + a bag of salad or whatever vegetable side you find easiest/cheapest, and you've got yourself a full meal that tastes far above the effort you put in.
