Mrs. Widgery's Lodger

A compendium of the magical, the arcane, and the ridiculous, with a side helping of geekiness, nerd-joy, cats, and other squee-inducing offerings. At least, they make me go "squee." YMMV.

chekov’s cat: if you see a cat, it will probably be relevant later.

schroedinger’s gun: there’s no way to know if a gun is loaded or not until you physically inspect and check it yourself, so it’s safest to assume all guns are loaded.

I will always reblog this.

[brightwanderer]

I once spent three hours scouring the internet to find this comic again, I will not let that be repeated.

[lynati]

@signoraviolettavalery I meant to ask last night if you’d ever seen this comic before.

[marithlizard]

This is one of the few things I always reblog when it comes round, because everyone should get to see it.

Hi Tracy, I don't know if someone has asked this before, I'm just curious about it. So Freckle's favorite drink is chocolate milk, but Tracy, do you know that chocolate is bad for cats IRL? (I assume you do b/c you have cats at home)

Yeah, don't let your cat drink chocolate milk. Or prohibition whiskey. Take away their guns.

No whiskey for Miette?

You disarm Miette like the proletariat?

Trump just suggested maybe people could be injected with bleach or rubbing alcohol as a treatment for COVID19 but the important thing is that you never, ever vote for the “lesser evil”

“There is a fine balance between honouring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.”

The Queen has requested that everybody with a knighthood attend a meeting at Windsor Castle. Speaking to the sizeable crowd of ageing actors and retired musicians, she explains why - The dragons are back, and she expects that every knight will do his duty.

Everyone turns and looks at Ian McKellen.

“Oh Christ,” he says. “If only Christopher Lee were still here. Then we might have a chance.”

[fozmeadows]

“Oh, for fuck’s sake. Stand aside, you lot!”

The crowd of knights parts, revealing Dames Maggie Smith, Judy Dench and Helen Mirren, all of whom are dressed in leather and ready to fuck shit up.

“Honestly, Ian,” Maggie Smith mutters. “Really.” 

As the Dames stride past a suitably chastened Ian McKellen, Michael Gambon produces a folding chair, a hip flask and an immensely pleased expression.

“Told you,” he says, taking a seat. “Did anyone bring any biscuits?”

Slime mold was grown on an agar gel plate shaped like America and food sources were placed where America’s large cities are. 

The result? A possible look at how to best build public transportation. 

I just really like the idea of slime mold on a map of the US. It’s beautiful.

I’d like a version of this with topography taken into consideration. Would the mold make the same path with mountains and rivers in the way?
