So I made a moon landing cake…

Happy lunar landing day! I decided to spend some time baking and make a cake to celebrate! :)

It’s half vanilla and half chocolate cake with homemade buttercream and homemade wineberry jam in the middle- all the components I tasted along the way were delicious, so I’m looking forward to eating it tonight. (I’ll reblog this with more pictures later)

Phrase taken from this post by @bunjywunjy tis a wonderful image and Ive laughed every time I saw it today, so I put it on a cake :))

holy fuck this is REALLY good

Living Fossils - Creatures that remain seemingly unchanged by time. Here's the Coelacanth, the Sturgeon, the Gar, the Horseshoe Crab and the Nautilus! (Gouache on 50x40cm canvas, available for purchase)

One wild thing about Universal cutting up all those trees is I first heard about tree law like, maybe a month ago. One of my mutuals reblogged that one comic and my reaction was sort of mildly amused, but also a little confused as to why tree law seemed to be so popular of all things

It really feels like some great karmic entity leaned down and said hey here’s the set up to a joke that won’t get a punchline for a little while. But when it does you’re gonna love it

okay real talk

i tried the 'write in comic sans' thing to see if it was a good trick

and writing smut in comic sans feels like god's worst sin

Seward today: I’ve finally finished my thought!

All of us: Actually put it back

tumblr tuesday: something something something, we win.

Everyone's being entirely normal about one scrunkly meow meow dad and his very gender sidekick 🤘

We've tried to be as spoiler-free as possible here, but if you haven't seen Nimona, go watch it and then come back for the pretty art, we promise you will have no regrets.

AHHHH THIS IS ALL SO GOOD

LAST ONE!

I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Of course we bought it

@shiftythrifting You gotta cross post this!

the blessed Julian of Norwich didn’t refer to 30 as her ‘youth’ in the goddamn 14th century for y’all to talk about your 20s like you are one step from the grave

This woman wants you to just LIVE YOUR LIFE!

The moon landing in real time website is fantastic because so far I've witnessed:

I know I post too many pictures of Tribble in the water, but I cannot get over how his fur doesn’t get wet but floats around him. He’s been in the creek for 10 minutes now.

July 20th is Moon Landing Day, make sure you leave out milk and cookies for the moon!

happy anniversary

i'll reblog this on the anniversary of the moon landing also because buzz earned it

Some sort of horrible wip

Some sort of horrible beast (affectionate)

thinking about Pokémon Go Summer (again) and how it likely blew up so much because adults finally had an excuse to Go Outside And Play in a way that met them where they are. Like, over time the ever-present threat of public humiliation/being filmed for some bastard's TikTok has done such a number on folk that some can't just relax and goof around and express themselves anymore, limiting their outdoor play to organised sports or maybe a yearly game of Frisbee In The Park. But to have an excuse to be playing outside on your phone? Something literally everyone is doing all the time? With a globally recognisable and easily accessible media property? Having a reason to be curious and explore your local surroundings, and talk to strangers in your environment, even if that reason is something as trivial as "there's a Dragonite over there"? Inspired. World-changing. Shame Niantic fucked it so hard
