Some Lurker's Blog

Hello. This is my messy blog. I like art, writing, and video games.

I hate that I’m always trying to find cool biology themed stuff to wear but all the “nature inspired” clothing companies just have like two crossed arrows or a minimalistic mountain on a sweatshirt. Fucking lame, that’s barely even nature-adjacent. Put the life cycle of a salamander on a jacket, put hyena skeleton patterns on leggings, put a damn field guide of birds of prey on a peacoat and THEN you can have my money. Do NOT give me a shirt with a leaf on it that says “stay wild” or some bullshit I would much prefer clothing that broadcasts to everyone around me how many teeth an adult Jaguar has or how some pitcher plants can catch and digest rats.

Where did you get that activity bingo card? Did you make it? If so, how did you decide what went on it?

I made it! Lots of people do them as kind of a new years resolution thing. My friend @dezlet mentioned he was working on his, and even though it was February I figured I’d try making one for 2025. I admit I didn’t think that hard about what to put on it. I just made a 5x5 grid (5x6 if you count the header row), thought about some stuff that I would like to do more of, printed it out on cardstock, and taped it to the wall. I put cat stickers on stuff I’ve done.

You can make your own in a word processor or in a graphics editor. Here’s one I made for you (plural you, all of Tumblr) in MS Paint.

One thing I would suggest in making your own is to make your goals definitively achievable things that you can’t lock yourself out of. I see a lot of personal bingo cards that have stuff like “keep my room clean" or “stick to an exercise routine” on them. Those aren’t easily measurable goals that you can definitively mark “complete,” and if at some point your room gets messy or you skip your routine then, well, are you still allowed to mark them off? “Get rid of 1 box of clutter” or “run a mile” are distinctly achievable.

My other suggestion is to make sure you put a bunch of things that are fun on there, too. It shouldn’t all be decluttering your closet and going to the dentist.

I will not dox my neighbour and post pictures of his house because I am not an asshole, but he just put an addition on his already batshit insane house and I am dying to share.

He lives in a 1950 PanAm passenger plane. I have no fucking clue how he got it here, because we're nowhere near a runway and it still has its wings and its landing gear. The living space is a solid 15 feet off the ground and he has one of those old school staircase vans as his front step. I would assume its not terribly different from living in a trailer or other mobile home, but its way better insulated because its a plane.

Anyway, he just finished a glassed in porch that comes out of the pilots side of the cockpit and its so cool. This isn't some gimmicky airbnb, this is his house and the commitment to the bit is legendary.

His greenhouse is a fire engine.

this post is getting notes and now my notifs are a solid mantra of "I will not dox my neighbour and post pictures, I will not dox my neighbour and post pictures, I will not dox my neighbour and post pictures "

[sea-salted-wolverine]

I forgot I can do that.

His tail number is his house number

Random fact: Green forester moths (Adscita statices) aren't always green— on cool nights they become a rusty orange, then change back to blue-green in the morning.

This color change is possible due to the unique structure of some specialized wing scales:

The layers of tiny air pockets in these scales absorb water vapor from dewy night air, changing the way the light refracts:

Their color change reverses as the wing scales dry out in the sun:

Lil kobolds sticker pack!!!! Hope you enjoy these lil' guys as much as I do! Neverwinter Nights was the game that spawned my love for the mischievous little kobolds. It's the game that introduced me to dnd systems, before dnd. I'd love to do a Deekin sticker...although I don't think there is much demand for that haha.
