Friday April 14.

Stop: time for kitty cat facts.

Stop! Arrêtez! Hou op! Спри се! Halt! Pare! Detener! 停止! रुकें!  중지! Dur! やめる! توقف! תפסיק! Imani! Itigil! Kwụsị! Prohibere!

You get the idea. It is of the utmost importance that you stop right there—because it's Friday, and times are tough and friends are few. So, we thought we would both complement and/or remedy this situation with a prescription that goes down smooth every single time: an assortment of the finest kitty #cats combed from the dashboard's discerning cat fandom, as well as a series of fascinating cat facts with which you can show off next time the need arises. Impressing friends? Check. Games night? Check. Dinner party? Check. The International Conference For Interesting Cat Facts (ICFICF)? Check. For all things four-legged, fascinating, and feline, you've come to the right place. We like to think this post has found you for a reason, in fact.

The oldest known pet cat existed 9,500 years ago

Cats spend 70% of their lives sleeping

A cat was the Mayor of an Alaskan town for 20 years

The record for the longest cat ever is 48.5 inches

Ancient Egyptians would shave off their eyebrows when their cats died

House cats share 95.6% of their genetic makeup with tigers

Cats walk like camels and giraffes

Isaac Newton invented the cat door

In 1963 a cat went to space

A house cat can reach speeds of up to 30mph

The oldest cat in the world was 38 years old

The richest cat in the world had * seven million dollars *

That, as they say, is that. Call us The Post—because we promised cat facts and we delivered. And then some. We will now bid you on your merry way towards not just the Friday you need, but the Friday you deserve. With some #cats.

There was this puzzle book I read in primary school called Map & Maze Puzzles. It was one of the Usborne Superpuzzles books, and the puzzles were all really hard. The puzzles were arranged into five related stories in different time periods that end up coming together, and although the settings were quite silly, I wasn't really familiar with a lot of the things they were riffing on, so it just felt really strange and surreal to me. Combined with my inability to do most of the puzzles, it left an impression. Also, interlocking stories in different time periods are extremely my thing.

At some point as a teenager I remembered the book, and decided I wanted to try rereading it and see if I could do the puzzles now. But when I looked for it in the public library, their copy had fallen apart and been removed. I'd got it from my primary school library initially, but I didn't really have access to that by that point. Also, it had burned down when I was in year six, so that copy probably didn't exist anymore either.

It was out of print by then, so I started looking in second hand shops and book fairs, and it was never there. I didn't care enough to try ordering a copy online, but I did look around for a PDF. I don't think even those fake digital piracy sites that try to bait you into downloading 438,726 viruses pretended to have it.

So that's been childhood puzzle book white whale for a while. I still look for it whenever I'm around second-hand books, and sometimes search the title. I checked Open Library when I heard about it a few years ago, and there were a lot of books I remembered, but not Map & Maze Puzzles. Their collection skewed pretty American, so I wasn't really surprised. Also, it had been so long that I didn't really expect to ever see it again.

I've been seeing more and more things sourced to Open Library links lately, and that reminded me of Map & Maze Puzzles, so I did another perfunctory search today, and... look!

???? ??? ???????? ??? ?????????????

It exists?! I guess I'm... finally going to avenge my childhood self. And find out if it really does talk about Nova Scotia. (Seems like it talked about Terra Nova, and I heard the name Nova Scotia later and thought it was the same thing) (This book isn't even set on Earth, which I'd been able to tell at the time, and was very confused to later learn that Novia Scotia was a real place.) (Okay but they did talk about Mappa Mundi) (Kind of)

The really weird thing to me was scrolling down to see when it was uploaded, because it definitely wasn't there last time I checked.

I think I got the time zone conversion backwards at first, and it couldn't have been uploaded on my birthday on the 7th, but that's still extremely close. Present specifically for me?!?!?!???!? (It was not specifically for me)

...I hope it doesn't end up being super racist or something.

#They still don't have Puzzle Planets (note the S) and Puzzle Worlds but Trove appears to #How very interesting #...Novia Scotia isn't even the only province of Canada that I have weird surreal childhood memories surrounding #Puzzle Planets and Puzzle Worlds weren't difficult but I did think they were very cool #They shrunk so much they went to a weird red place! And then shrunk more than that!

I want to post this here too because I’ve seen it happen a few times

Please understand that there are cultural differences and language differences, if you see this happening let the person clarify what they meant, that person might just not be familiar with words the western side of the internet use

#bearz rambling tag #no it’s not really possible to let everyone who uses this term to change #because as far as I know this is the most common word with use on Chinese websites #I didn’t know that pairing are called ‘ship’ here #like why would I even know that #‘ship’ makes zero sense to me #it took me a while to learn the fandom language people speak here #it’s hard #give people time #shipping culture is very different too #Like on Chinese site you HAVE to clarify the Top and the Bottom of this ship in the ship name #it is very very important to them #people who like the same ship but with different Top Bottom preference will fight till no end #imagine how confused I was when I first got here #where there’s no top bottom differences #it’s not really a smut thing #it’s more a dynamic thing #AxB and BxA is very different #oh I can talk so much about the differences on fandom cultures #if ya are interested in more please feel free to ask #it’s very interesting to me #I wanna talk about it

Sex positivity is also about not calling Ace people prude and using virgin as an insult 👍 hope that helps

#sex positivity is also respecting sex lives that dont look like yours #or lack thereof #and insulting people by saying they dont fuck make you sound stupid <3 #im sorry i just cant take people who use their sex lives as a flex seriously its just not my thing! #like yea having lots of kinky sex is cool but not having sex and not being interested by sex is also cool #one is not better than the other the human experience is just very varied and diverse #its normal you wont understand everyone your brain isnt even made to comprehend how many human there are in the world #but we should all have spaces to navigate our sex lives as we wish even if that means interacting with sex as a subject as little as possibl

The Shepherd of Souls

I had an idea for a COTL AU in which the Lamb is a reincarnation of the original god of death, known as the Shepherd of Souls.

#my art #cult of the lamb #the lamb #cotl lamb #cotl narinder #cotl au #cotl fanart #relics of the old faith added some very interesting lore surrounding how one would become a bishop #so the idea is that Narinder found the crown after the gods' war #and the lamb was fated to be chosen as his vessel (and eventual successor) because they were the original wearer of the crown #illustration #narilamb #< adding this tag bc. yeah 👍

#was talking to one of my siblings about this a few days ago and it really stuck with me. for me I will not make the connection that this #character and I share a name unless someone says something to me. otherwise I'll realize it eventually but it will take a While #like. thats [name]. that's not me. that's [name]?? #but my sibling says that they're actually taken out of the story for a bit if a character with their name is introduced because it's so #strange for their brain to process. which is So interesting to me #very curious to see how this ends up #smokey speaks #polls #500 #1k

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post

#dc comics #dc #damian wayne #dick grayson #talia al ghul #batfamily #dc robin #nightwing #anyway. yes im a self-indulgent ''dick as damians secret third parent'' truther #like i DO think it's way more complex and nuanced than the schmoopy affectionate fan portrayal of it #they're brothers they're father and son they're partners they're the dynamic duo except only in past tense etc etc #but consider! I'm not immune to schmoopy affection in fanworks. it compells me despite itself #anyway it's technically not that crazy when it comes to dick and damian. they hug! often! at least they did #it's not as big a leap to these types of scenarios #also talia ''somewhat absent for complex reasons on both her and damians part but very loving and loved by her son'' al ghul #you will always be famous to me #son of the demon origin...bwahhh #anyway. someone made a comic kind of like this/like a post i made abt this topic #but way funnier bc dick and talia starting trying to beat each other up #so go look at that as well #anyway. it's been a somewhat difficult few weeks so I'm. desperately trying to take it easy #i got some reading with me (first vol of kevin smiths GA run that i found second hand and jaimes BB run vol 2!) #so we'll see how far i get through those. considering there's demons in my head telling me to re-read things (LET ME OUT!!!) #when i finish GA and BB i do plan on rereading robin 2021. as a treat to myself #it's a run I've really warmed up to as time went on #I'm keeping up w/ the current b&r run even though it is. admittedly very slow w/ some weird dialogue #i read it for the damian content more than anything. also nikas back so that's neat :] #idk I have a feeling that after absolute power shakes out we might get some more creative team switch ups #so if anyone at dc is interested in taking over the reigns on b&r...that could be very neat #(it's me they should hire me. please DC i have ideas listen to my red hood pitch PLEASE-)

something i got carried away with last weekend, i love this wonderful little game so much

#outer wilds spoilers #outer wilds #illustration #ciear’s scribbles #kinda iffy about some bits but eh i think it’s doing a good job showing how much i love this game #forever refusing to actually figure out everyone’s placement in the campfire circle they just go wherever i think they should #word of advice do not try and fit eight entire characters into a very narrow space #btw! prints available on my INPRNT for those interested :)

Come watch dungeon meshi we have a (seemingly) typical white autistic man who doesn't understand social norms, an autistic man of colour who overcompensates for social deficits by being too good at social norms (while still struggling socially), and we even have the "grew up autistic but also Asian so I have a very good understanding of cultural and social norms but I still struggle socially" variety of autistic man.

#this post lacks a great deal of nuance obviously #but seriously i love how toshiro/shuro kabru and laios are all so clearly autistic just in very different ways #you dont get to see that often in media #and Ryoko Kui's writing is really good so she's able to explore the dynamic in pretty interesting ways #dungeon meshi #laios touden #shuro dungeon meshi #toshiro nakamoto #shuro dunmeshi #dunmeshi #kabru of utaya #kabru dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #kabru
