Nearly pissed myself laughing earlier when I saw this absolute Looney Tunes truck attempting to transport an oversized mattress down the road with only a couple tiny bungee cords holding on for dear life, while it ballooned out behind the truck like a drag racing parachute:

nasa is using a 3D world graphic for the solar eclipse thingy today where germany is still devided in east and west adjfglkafdhgadfg. buddies, it's been almost 40 years.

[chthonion]

So I showed this to a physicist and they were like "Oh! Yes! It's a figure from Fred Espenak's very old paper where he did a bunch of eclipse graphics! I've been looking at these my entire internet life, basically, for every solar eclipse! They called him Mr. Eclipse. He just passed away recently 🥺"

Anyway apparently Mr. Eclipse made 5000 years' worth of solar eclipse graphics, which you can find the simpler versions of here

So now instead of laughing at NASA for their outdated graphics I'm emotional about Mr. Eclipse and his hard work

Was looking through my stash and found this lovely panel with some coordinating fabric.

I knew immediately which pattern I had picked for this, and since it’s a relatively quick quilt to put together, I figured I aught to get ‘er done.

Now. Should I save this for my mum who LOVES sailboats (whose birthday is in November), or see if anyone wants it and do something else for Mum?

Edit: my mum saw the panel laid out on the table when she came over and just stared at me with big wide eyes. It’s definitely going to her LMAO

(Also, if anyone ever has trouble ironing their long seams in a straight line, I highly recommend a 4 foot aluminium ruler from a hardware store. The thing is a beast and is always straight as a whistle.)

[wyrmscraft]

So pretty 💖

Time to trim up the strip piecing and then put together the corner squares!

[wyrmscraft]

All done! I love the swirls I used in the quilting, looks like waves in the water and wind in the sky.

I picked a matching blue from Northcott’s Chroma line for the backing and I love it.

Mum loves it of course! I think it’s lovely enough to use in the warmer weather and then put on the wall as a massive wall hanging in the winter.

my sister has apparently had to stop playing Skyrim because she stole every book in the game to stock her house so now her house is full of books to the point where it almost breaks the game and every time she tries to read one guards teleport into her home and arrest her

Every time I see this post I think about that study that was done on how cats recognize visual imagery. They weren't sure if they track by color? shape? outline? movement? So they did an experiment where they showed cats clips of birds or rodents, visually altered in various ways -- light-inverted? color swapped? upside down? stills? mocap? slowed down, sped up, stretched or warped? And they found that cats could continue to recognize videos of animals even when they were just a skeletal ball-and-socket model, so long as they still moved like the animal.

Cats can recognize animals by only their structure and their motion. I wonder if a cat would be able to see a cat in this, too?

how it feels to message a friend who's having Problems that you can't do anything to help with.

#i appreciate how genuine and non-judgemental this comic feels #like left one is not upset at right one for caring while being powerless #and right one seems genuinely distraught and not performative

I'm glad the facial expressions are coming across accurately! It can feel so absurd to say gosh I hope the torment maze removes some fire and rusty nails soon, but alas, sometimes that's all one can do.
