Floofs!

Two Maine coons in a heap on a sofa. A small silver tabby and a big brown tabby

Feel better soon! Here are two floors lounging in the sun

Cool!

Is uranium glass radioactive?

When I was interviewing at firms lo these 20 years ago (yikes), a female partner at Sidley Austin told me that they needed affinity groups for women because (this is as direct a quote as I can give) "women are different because women have children."

Is purple jade natural or dyed?

Oh heaven. I love that shade of purple.

A little bouquet of beetles.

Woah!

Rubies are just so *pretty*

Oooh!!!

Whoever made that were so wild, using all that real silver then putting in plastic beads!

I miss the days when Google worked

A rectangular poster with its shorter sides as its vertical edges. The text occupies the lower fifth of the poster. The painting appears to bebe a watercolour, or at least suggests the same. The engine of the train is composed of geometric shades, many of which - the wheels for example- are transparent. The train is coloured in a mix of black and grey.

The moon is shown as a reflection in what seems like a lake that the engine appears to be flying above.

The one on the bottom is so eldritch and fabulous!

I think the multi stone one on your middle finger is my favorite out of the whole batch, and if those are just glass or CZ I hope you can pop some real lovelies into those settings!

Ooh, really looking forward to seeing how those pink ones turn out!

That lamb has a very “are you my mother “ vibe 🐑

Oooh!

What a sweet puppy!
