You might want this. Just saying. :)

This fish can get it.

Ok, it turns out #ShroomScrolling already existed before I thought of it this morning. Which means if you click on it you’ll get a delightful stream of excellent mushrooms. Definitely recommend #FungiFriends 🌿

Don’t mind me. I’m over here making Italian-esque hand gestures with a face of confusion. ;)

What a maroon. What a non-cow-poop.

Oof. Strength and safety to you!

I’m surprised that PH was a former soldier. He should know that these are people, not characters in some gd movie.

A black cat, a ghost outline, and an orange crosshatched pumpkin sewn onto a dishtowel for Halloween.

Embroidery update. Still fun.

I’m convinced he only knows/likes/has talked to actors who portray soldiers… not actual soldiers.

A beige bird with a yellow throat and chest stands in a green plant. It’s puffed out and extremely cute.

A silly little puff of a bird.

YESSS! I am here for it.

A sunbonnet girl embroidered on a dishtowel, sitting on a lounge chair and embroidering her own project. A gray cat plays beneath her.

I was thinking something like the cushion here.

Whatcha think of orange ribs and same color surface cross hatching?

Chuckle back to the craft store I s’pose. Was trying to avoid that lol

Same :)

An embroidered dishtowel with a smiling black and white cat, black ghost outline, and yellow satin stitched Jackolantern eyes.

I fixed poor kitty’s Skeletor face.

Debating dark green pumpkin ribs or black pumpkin ribs. I can’t find thinner black embroidery floss atm, so the black would be the same weight as the ghost stitching. I do have a nice dark green for the pumpkin stem.

Opinions?

A kitchen towel stamped with outlines of a ghost, a pumpkin, and a cat. The ghost is outlined in black. The cat is almost completely filled in with black, with white stitches providing whiskers and shaping. The pumpkin and word October have yet to be worked.

Towel updated: still fun and not done yet. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do the nose over black or black around nose, hence the face being weird.

Too many targets for concern. ARGH

Worries me that they want to use American cities as training grounds. For what? Mortars? Vehicle movement in traffic? Neither the cities nor the military want any of that!

Big hugs, I feel you :)

I am so scared there is no plan for a budget, just CR’s all the way down.

Why does this matter? Welp, when there’s no budget the NIH tends to wait rather than fund anything. Waiting another year puts me and my peers in the deep dark fertilizer. 🤬😬

Thanks for listening.

Love your hair, and that snuggled nose ❤️

Guinness the black cat in a Halloween themed cardboard house built for cats. Only his round yellow eyes are visible against his face.

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪

Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.

I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

Anyone heard about this?

Thank you for personal survival and fun stories! :)

So far the counters appear safe. We’ll need to address a bowed out backsplash at some point, but we’ve known that for a bit.
