Without changing my opinion that nobody should be a billionaire, I do wonder what life would be like if the billionaires were all a result of menopausal rage.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

I’d want somewhere within a 10 minute walk of a really good bakery and a co-op (or similar); with coverage of many Deliveroo options; a pharmacy with sensible opening hours and staff who can think; parking; and no chance in the foreseeable future of voting in a right wing mp.

I’m not sure I’d want to move back, but it’s better than when I was growing up, when it was 100% Tory Heartland. But then, I’m not sure where I’d move if I was going to. Cambridge is nice in the centre, but I live in the armpit of the outskirts.

Had my monthly meetup with Sister today, this time in Hitchin. It’s very odd; there’s even more Posh White Lady shops, also a lot of East Asian groceries & lunch places, a few small art collective type places, and a whole lot of empty properties.

Elsa, a ginger tabby Siamese cross, is curled up on the sofa next to my bare leg. She’s pressed the top of her head against me and her scalp has smooshed down a bit, giving her a scowl in her sleep.This is a friend’s bengal cat. Friend’s daughter has, I quote, “turned the cat into a furry” by putting a pointed teal feather on her (the cat’s, not the daughter’s) head. The cat looks slightly befuddled but not annoyed.A close up of a fluffy black cat paw pushed against my not fluffy bare toes.Bruce Banner, a huge black mostly-feral cat, is sitting on the carpet in my spare room in front of a chest of drawers and some stacked baskets (and sundry other items of clutter). 2 bowls are in the floor next to him. He’s looking up and over what would be my left shoulder, if I was in the picture instead of taking it. The context is that he very much wanted the chicken I’d been spoiling him with, but absolutely did not want the pills that preceded it.

Thing is, my kitchen still isn’t finished so he’s coming back tomorrow. I don’t particularly want to be alone with him; he backed off when I said no, but kept coming back 5 mins later and asking again. Like I said, ugh.

mathematicians now feel like they have to be secretive about what they do in case it gets stolen by AI. graph theorists arent too worried about this though because they’ve already been doing discreet mathematics

What sort of idiot calls this “beautiful”? Oh, right. Someone who was apparently day drinking while tiling my kitchen. Ugh.
A selfie. I am a middle aged white woman with greying brown hair that’s somewhere between jaw and shoulder length. I’m wearing half-rimmed glasses and a New Model Army t shirt. My expression suggests simultaneously disappointment, irritation, and stabbing.

In the background are a bookcase with a lava lamp and Cthulhu Squishmallow, and a purple sofa with both bat print and bee print fleece blankets rolled up on the back.

Behold: the frog life cycle as it should appear in science textbooks (they ALWAYS leave out ghost 🙄) #art #frogs #queerart
Digital artwork of the life cycle of the frog. It goes from eggs all the way to adulthood and ghost. All the stages are shown in a clockwise order on a giant lilypad with red arrows in between, the area outsie of the lilypad is water with tadpole silhouettes. Each stage of the lifecycle looks pissed. The cycle names are as follows: forbidden boba, madpole, swampy stomper, quardra-pissed, anarchy-phibian, and never frogives or frogets (that's the ghost)

will no longer be worth the hassle and I won’t even know *how* I’ve screwed up because there is no textbook or flow chart for Being Human? - Is it all of the above and more? (It’s all of the above and more, isn’t it? Goddamn it.)

- Is it that despite having lovely friends, I do, actually, have to manage all this myself? - Is it that I haven’t painted anything I’m happy with (not proud of; just “yeah, that’ll do”) for about 6 months? - Is it the constant terror that I’m going to screw up and whatever benefit ppl get from me

- Is it that Bruce Banner has ataxia and one nictating membrane stuck out, and I have to give him 3 pills and 2 ear drops every day for a week to find out whether it’s otitis or brain damage? - Is it that this list has already taken 2 posts and I have more?

Today is the sort of day where I can’t work out: - Is it (continued) exhaustion from spending a whole afternoon in London on Friday? - Is it stress about being thoroughly stuck with the PhD? - Is it ongoing perimenopause stuff? - Is it that methylphenidate works about as well as willpower?

On a thread about checking your testicles for lumps
A reddit reply that says 

"I was giving mine an early morning fondle in bed one Saturday, when I found what I initially thought was a growth of some sort. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a fried egg sweet from a packet of Haribo Starmix, which I had been eating the night before."

Saw @joznorris.bsky.social is Hugh Jackman is the Phantom of the Opera and yes it’s a WIP but the polished bits had me laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe (also it explained his @theacms.bsky.social set a while back). My only real feedback is that it needs more singing cos he’s got a great voice.
Joz Norris is Hugh Jackman (yes, I checked with the theatre staff and non-flash photography was allowed in small amounts). He’s wearing a black t shirt, jeans, and red shoes, and is singing his heart out with arms wide. A stool behind him has a Phantom mask on it.Joz Norris is Hugh Jackman is the Phantom etc etc. He is now wearing the Phantom mask and a black robe thing, and has somehow transformed from a wholesome fit Australian into a dirty old man.

Trekked into London yesterday and yup, it’s still exhausting. Bus to station, train to St. Pancras, pop out for a wee & a coffee, tube to Piccadilly Circus, early meal, show, +1 drink, tube to King’s Cross, train to Cambridge, bus home. 8 hours in total. I’ve only just woken up enough to post.

This is the famous Venezuelan Poodle Moth (Artace sp.), a distinctively fluffy, white insect w/ prominent bulbous dark eyes and feathery antennae. First photographed in 2009 by Arthur Anker in the Gran Sabana region of Venezuela. Its exact taxonomic classification remains debated by entomologists.

Never met her, never interviewed her (despite decades of unrequited requests) but thought she was utterly fabulous in every way.
