she/her I may be a librarian. Without tentacles. But who will ever know?

There aren’t a ton of plants in the Bisti Badlands, and the starkness is part of what makes the area so otherworldly.  But when we visited the first week of April, I saw these small, sparkly plants that I’ve never seen before. 

There were hundreds of them growing in cracks in the mud, and at first glance they seemed almost metallic.  But when I took a closer look at the leaves, the texture was more like tiny jewels.

I don't think anyone wants help finding this one

to be honest i wouldn't want to find it, but here i am, opening my beloved tumblr app just for this to be the first thing on my dash...

and the worst part of it - i was like "well okay at least there should be funny comments, let's see what people say". and at tge time there wer 0 notes. like not even this reblog about tags. it was just the picture, just posted....

anyway, good morning to me! and you all as well

And now everyone else who sees it can see your funny comment. Your sacrifice is appreciated.

This post has only 1.2k notes, how the fuck am I seeing this on my dash

Because you follow the right people

Polyamorous relationships are not for everyone. Monogamous relationships are not for everyone. Romantic relationships are not for everyone!!! We are all different people with different needs, maybe just stop trying to condense the human experience into a homogenous gray monolith!!! aaaaaaaa

And at different stages of your life, different things may be for you ✨️

Thought y’all might enjoy my very “in progress” Castle Heterodyne LEGO build 🤪

The Castle is roughly scaled to itself based on the full sized pages right before it releases all the monsters from the towers. Not minifig scale, it is way too small, but scaling up from here will be…”not brains tough, just hard work tough”. The clanks and monsters, including the Fun-MADD, are mostly from Ninjago sets, where LEGO really understands what makes a good mech suit. Speaking of:

Second pic is a closeup of Agatha in Old Vorthang’s Sunday Best, which started out as a Ninjago mech set before a lot of tweaking. I am unreasonably proud of the Torchmen, which I kit-bashed together part by golden part. Godzilla auditioned for the role of Franz and since there were no other dragons around, he got the job.

Third pic is Agatha (with Gil’s boomstick) and Zeetha at the top of the main tower. Jim Woodring’s vinyl “crazy newts” make pretty good monsters! This is another area where I put way too much effort into matching up the architecture; in fact, I solved this part first and the entire rest of the castle was scaled to match.

I have a giant bin of a discontinued “tall rock facade” pieces and have thought about trying to build the hill the castle sits on and the winding path up…but I would need a huge piece of desk or floor real estate and we just don’t have that!
