In all the grandiose discussion about colonising Mars, I don't see much about how the soil is poisonous to us. This was only discovered in 2008. It contains perchlorates, which are environmental toxins here on Earth. Any human contact with Mars dust? Super-bad news in the long run. 1/

Pixeljoint is such a treasure. Only website I don't need a bookmark to be reminded of. I just think, once in a while "I want to go to PJ and look at the beautiful pixel art". Conservation takes effort, effort the Pixelation side of that story couldn't sustain. I'm grateful for PJ

Oikeistolainen eläin- ja luontopolitiikka kiteytyy mainiosti siihen, että jos oikeistokaisena kansaneduatajana haöuaa eläimiä kidutettavan hiukan vähemmän, saa eduskuntaryhmältään huomautuksen. Samanlaisen, kuin silloin, jos jättää äänestämättä ministerinä olevan uusnatsin luottamuksen puolesta.

World Turtle Day 💚
It shows a hard-working but slow-moving turtle that works all day. It has a whole medieval town on its shell. Wearing a helmet and armor on its feet. You can rely on this strong-willed, trustworthy, and ambitious knight. Though, not familiar with leisure time or fun. Very disciplined. Keeping routines to be a true perfectionist. Surrounded by plants and colorful cobblestones. This is the 48th card of my deck in development https://www.deviantart.com/sylviaritter/art/Knight-of-Coins-954564602.

Sometimes you’re just from when you’re from.
The Frieren meme where an inexperienced artist has trouble drawing Frieren, a silver-haired elven woman with pigtails and red earrings, from a difficult angle. I offer my own take on her based on how goofy anime from the 90s used to do it.
