As you might be aware I have big feelings about all besnouted creatures, but recently something has been grating on me. Sometimes, when people draw a snout animal, they draw the snout as a nose with the mouth as a separate entity underneath. This is a stylistic choice I greatly dislike because a snout or trunk is, by definition

A COMBINATION OF THE NOSE AND UPPER-LIP.

You can see here that the snout is not a separate entity from the mouth in these mammals, but is a fleshy protuberance emanating from the upper jaw. 

You can see in this illustration how a more anatomically accurate snout position gives an anthropomorphic pig a degree of charm that an inaccurate snout position does not.

Snout positioning can make or break a character design for me.

Algae Street Lamps?

Fellow solarpunk genre fans, have you ever seen the algae-powered lamps? They were a popular topic back in 2013 when a man named Pierre Calleja suggested using them.

During the day, the algae uses C02 and sunlight to create energy through photosynthesis, and at night the lamp uses that stored energy to light the area.

" Basically, an algae lamp can remove as much CO2 in one year as a tree would in its lifetime." — Smithsonian Magazine

Using the natural energy reserves of algae may actually limit it's lifespan, so other companies are now looking towards bioluminescent algae. These algae glow naturally, so there is no need to syphon energy from them.

As of right now, those companies are still working on ways to make the glow brighter, but if it works, their blue lights could give a power-free way to light a street while the algae is also munching on C02.

Realistically, there are problems with algae lamps, such as:

How would it work in freezing climates?

How often the glass will need cleaning (though self-cleaning glass cold be an option)?

Would it put off enough light to be comparable to actual street lights?

For a fictional Solarpunk story, however, I think someone could easily make this work.

lmao god, english upper class people... I was reading Mathilda, and there's all these monologues about the protagonist going insane from loneliness and not knowing how to act when she finally strikes up a friendship again; she has retired to a cottage in the woods and is essentially in hiding. All this time we're given the impression that she is utterly alone in that cottage. Much woe about the completeness of her loneliness. and then.

what do you mean your servant ...? in your cottage in the woods where you were so utterly alone? that one?
