Teef. We all need more pictures of cat teef. What I do is a public service
Two cats lay on a bed. One is on his back, paws curled above him, and is smiling the most pure smile, you'd never know that his head is full of chaos goblins. The other smiles with vampire teef and looks off to the side, his paws crossed to hold his brother's hand (but really he's trying to block me from touching his brother because he's jealous of one of us and I'm really not sure which)Almost the same picture with a tighter focus. Smiling cat almost looks like he's laughing

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

An elaborate Greek gold hairnet with garnet inlays, dating from the 3rd century BC, an older medallion of Medusa was reused in the centre. Medusa’s head was a popular motif and used to ward off any evil. From Taras (Tarento, Italy). On display at Altes Museum, Berlin. 📷 me 🏺

This guy, Shakespeare, would walk behind the tv in order to hit the button on the power strip when I wouldn't let him go on the deck. In the winter. When there was a foot of snow. He would also stare into the fire for hours, likely communing with the Dark One

Museum of Applied Arts, Hungary Zsolnay factory (Pécs) 1899-1900
from source: A vase reminiscent of blown and hotformed glass, with a base from which grows a modelled crocus stem. Its budding flower leans towards the lower outwardly curving part, and its two leaves bend in an S shape to the upwardly curving neck, forming the handles. The surface, in a play of bluish, gold-green and purplish lights, evokes the fresh colours of spring – vying with the iridescent glasses of L. C. Tiffany (1848–1933). In their preparations for the 1900 Paris World’s Fair, the Zsolnay workshops concentrated their design work in the new style in three product areas. Smoothsurface wares were given symbolic pictorial decoration traditional vase shapes were combined with modelled flower stems, and one flower, the tulip, took the form of a “goblet”. There was a wide and inventive variety of variants on each form, and the glaze technique with its diverse colouring ensured that each piece was unique. First to appear were vase variations on the combination of the sculptured tulip and dafodill stems, probably following the visits to Pecs in and after November 1897 by Jozsef Rippl-Ronai (1861–1927), who was designing the Andrassy dining room. The favourite flower of Countess Andrassy (1867–1945), the tulip, and its analogous flower, the crocus, the first sign of spring, which was also a feature of Pecs gardens, appears in true-to-life but symbolic variations. This piece, with its vigour and harmony, stands out among them. There are no known documents recording the designers and the exact date of manufacture of single pieces belonging to this series. This crocus-stem vase must have been first made in spring 1899, because its outline drawing with two entries of dimensions, is entered under number 5530 in the company’s Facon Book, which records decorative pieces. The present vase corresponds to the smaller size (I). After display at the 1900 World’s Fair, a piece of this model was delivered to Lewy Strauss, New York, with “labrador glaze”.
