I can’t decide if this would be the best alt mode, or the worst.

Though tbh I was probably suspended for repeatedly telling people there was a diff between asking for this & asking for a doctor who didn’t have a heavy accent (because that was the favoured arguing point, 2nd only to “if it was a (x) asking for a (x) doctor no one would have a problem with it!” 🙄)

This went about as well as you’d think. 💀
Ppl were assuming she wanted an English-speaking dr. I said that there are white ppl that have “heavy accents” & don’t speak English. Was accused of bullying by someone who called me a bully mult times and made a comment about how I must be raising my kid 🤣

For #WorldOctopusDay we'd like to share with you this rare octopus skeleton that was found at the Palace.

An empty glass display box that, crucially, contains no bones.

Take a peek into the Collections with our Director of Archives & Library, Yolanda Bustos, and discover what exactly this magnificent bird (literally) was.

Will probably look odd in the areas where the holes are forming, and it’s not the type of top that would look passable with visible mending. I’m probably going to look for a similar top secondhand.

I feel like ingesting a pumpkin-spiced… something. I dunno what. But it’ll be home-made, so likely muffin or cupcake. Maybe cookie.

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

I'm seeing a lot of discussion about whether the ai evaluator the mod team uses here eats your art or not.

I don't have an opinion on that.

What I DO know is this site is absolutely open by design and the folks who run it value tech over people and have always demonstrated this.

Glaze your stuff.

The day has come. My Tuesday work shirt, the shirt that is the perfect length/texture/fit… has developed tiny holes. And I only own one of this particular shirt. 😢

Dinosaurs, Medieval Life, Castles, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Ancient China, Cats, Dogs, Fish, Fossils, literally every one I could get my hands on. These books were probably formative in a lot of lifelong hyperfixtations.

Been seeing some appreciation for DK books (like the Eyewitness series) elsewhere, so tell me, what were some that were vital to your formative years?

Here's one for me.
