Rescuers Rehabilitate A Paralyzed Puppy, And Get It Walking Again .😍

El hilo es oro puro, pero este final con la sarsaparrilla me tiene dando volteretas.

This is Fitz and June. Fitz just got here and thinks this place is pretty great. June was here first and thinks it's time to return Fitz. 13/10 for both (TT: muester)

Maybe it's just me but I don't think Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be the ones to decide if Jeffrey Epstein's clients should be prosecuted.

Gotta love to see it.

These are all quotes from Frasier.

Alright, I’m home now so here’s the Norm update. Yesterday at 4pm, I got a text from a family I’ve been helping who had a loved one abducted a couple of days after Renée Good’s murder. This was the family that Norm Nation kept from being evicted (and you delivered). ICE had released their loved one.

Rabbits use a laser pointer to lure a cat to pounce on it. The bunnies hide behind a small table. As the cat is distracted, two cornered mice take the chance to run in the other direction.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: person who has post-op bandages wrapped around their nose, nervously holding someone’s hand. Another speaker off panel says, “alright… let’s get these bandages off.” Panel 2: the person is gleefully looking at themself in a handheld mirror, their friends are overjoyed. Their new nose is a gigantic, elongated and pointed sword shape. Panel 3: they are jumping out of the ocean with a smile on their face, in unison with two swordfish who are also breaching the water.

Front of the card, showing two ships in calm water with sails slack. A label in the water below them reads: "Dutch eel boat." They are somewhat orange in color, suggesting a setting sun -- another indication that they are not British. The shadow from the boats looks an unhealthy green on the water, which is perhaps appropriate for the Thames. Overall, the whole image is done in washed out citrus-y colors, which makes it warm and inviting, and also a good source of Vitamin C. These ships and their predecessors supplied live eels to London for something like 500 years. You've never done anything for that long in your whole life. And you never will. Eel ships were there during the War of the Roses, and during Shakespeare's life, and during WWI. They are gone and forgotten now, but they were once a part of the living city.

The back of the card, with text describing the ships. The text is surrounded by a framing of ropes, with some blocks and tackles and hooks and such. It looks very nautical. The text which these lines frame reads thus: "Ships of All Ages, a series of 50. No. 25. Dutch Eel Boat The Thames barge is considered to be of Dutch origin, and it sometiems meets in the estuary its relative, the Dutch eel schuyt, which, like the barge, is designated for work on both salt and fresh water. The schuyt is typically Dutch, stoutly built and comfortable looking, and is considered to be the most representative of the seagoing craft of Holland; it is also easily navigated on the crowded canals of the country. Issued by Nicolas Sarony & Co. 84 Picadilly London, W.I." FTR -- if someone describes you as stoutly built and comfortable looking, you should object. Unless you're an eel ship. Are you an eel ship?

I got into eel history by studying the Dutch eel ships on the Thames. We don't generally remember them much now, but they were there from the c.1470 - 1938.

They used to be low-key famous, even appearing in Nicolas Sarony's 1929 cigarette card collection, "Ships of All Ages."

Gotta show you this tardigrade cake I saw at the American Museum of Natural History.

PANEL 1: MATTIE is talking to A GUY. They're both up to their waists in water. MATTIE: Concerning amount of water, don't you think? GUY: Eh! PANEL 2: The water is now up to their shoulders. GUY: I have great news about the future. MATTIE: Oh? This doesn't seem great. PANEL 3: The water is now up to their heads, they both tilt their heads back to speak.

My photo shows a Hellenistic era hemispherical mosaic glass bowl viewed from above. The glass has a floral pattern made up of tiny, many-petalled blue, white, and yellowy-green flowers against a dark purple background (looks black in my photo). The bowl has an alternating diagonal-striped black and white glass rim. The bowl has been reconstructed from fragments and the plain light blue areas are where missing glass fragments have been replaced during reconstruction. It measures 13.2 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm in height. It was made in the eastern Mediterranean about 200-100 BC.

This Hellenistic mosaic glass bowl looks so modern, yet it was made over 2,000 years ago!

Ancient glassmakers created the tiny flower pattern using a technique now known as ‘millefiori’ (thousand flowers). A timeless design still made by glassmakers today!

in general, & across the world, the political gender divide really opens up around 2016

wonder if something happened then?

OK since Christian Bluesky is talking about funeral hymns here is the funniest thing that happened around my father’s funeral:

Good news! We found the cats a home! But they still need a foster home for the next month! Please help us spread the word so we can find a good foster home for them!

After their owner passed last week, I've just found a new forever home for her two sweet babies Kit & Caboodle! Their new parents aren't ready for them until late May though, so is there anyone in the LA area who can take in K&C and foster them just for the next 4-5 weeks? Please DM me, thanks!
