So, I recently came into possession of a new (to me) camera, a Pentax Auto 110

Now that's a good picture of it, but it might not give you an idea of what makes this particular camera so special.

So let's zoom out a bit.

Behold! The world's smallest interchangable-lens film SLR!

"Oh, but it's clearly a toy" you say. "Surely the pictures it takes aren't that great."

Well, why don't you see for yourself?

This thing takes 110 film, which produces negatives about 13x17mm

Anyway, i know you guys loved my box camera post. Figured i'd post this too! Enjoy!

I think these might be too many snails. Removing you. No natural predators and no shame. But I found a new pellet food that everyone loves :D

The Shrimplets are around 4mm long now!

Hello dear author,

I've read the asks about Kyle. Now I'm curious, could you give us the ROs range from least to most jealous?

If I'm guessing correctly, C ist the most followed by D. But I could be completely off the mark. Would you share this tidbit of information with us? 😇🙏

as of now, i’ll rank the ROs out of 5 for jealousy:

C LACROIX: 5/5; would kill that person and never get caught, simple as that. no body no crime.

M WHITLOCK-SINGH: 4/5; surprisingly possessive and coldly threatening. might just ruin that person’s life if they’re pissed enough.

D DIACONU: 3.5/5; not above verbally and physically humiliating someone with a wicked grin and an aggressive kiss with the MC.

V NÆSHOLM: 2/5; tries not to feel like that because it’s a sin but they somehow catch themself praying that the person would disappear. in a safe way ofc 🤗

W OSTENDORF: 1/5; doesn’t believe they deserve MC in the first place and is way too preoccupied with worshipping them to notice anyone else lmao.

Hey, if you have speech impediments, you are so amazing.

If you stutter or have a lisp or misspeak easily or you have a flat affect or a limited verbal vocabulary or if your voice is AAC or if you just have a difference in your vocality, you are so incredibly important and amazing.

Just know that your voice is yours. Nobody will ever be able to truly take it away. Your voice is part of you, and you deserve to make it as true to you as you deem fit. I hope you have the space to grow with your voice and whatever about it makes it unique.

I'd like to take a moment to point out to detractors of ships involving Laios who feel that "Laios wouldn't take any interest in people!" that he'd hyperfixated on Shuro so badly it was ruining the man's life lmao

Anyone got a story where Amity Park becomes independent without the rest of the USA noticing until some hero stumbles upon (or crash lands in) it?

If there are only a few things you can take with your journey through life, let it be kindness, grace, ambition and a healthy dose of delusion. You'll need to extend kindness and grace to yourself and everyone around you and you'll need ambition and delusion to make yourself to reach higher than seemingly possible, knowing that without a shadow of a doubt you will make it no matter what.

These are what have kept me when I was really struggling, without them, I don't know who I would be today.

X's and O's, Elle.

Speaking of the social context of P&P and Austen in general, and also just literature of that era, I'm always interested in how things like precisely formulated hierarchies of precedence and tables of ranked social classes interact with the more complex and nuanced details of class-based status and consequence on a pragmatic day-to-day level. I remembered reading a social historian discussing the pragmatics of class wrt eighteenth-century English life many years ago and finally tracked down the source:

"In spite of the number of people who got their living from manufacture or trade, fundamentally it was a society in which the ownership of land alone conveyed social prestige and full political rights. ... The apex of this society was the nobility. In the eyes of the Law only members of the House of Lords, the peerage in the strictest use of the word, were a class apart, enjoying special privileges and composing one of the estates of the realm. Their families were commoners: even the eldest sons of peers could sit in the House of Commons. It was therefore in the social rather than in the legal sense of the word that English society was a class society. Before the law all English people except the peers were in theory equal. Legal concept and social practice were, however, very different. When men spoke of the nobility, they meant the sons and daughters, the brothers and sisters, the uncles and aunts and cousins of the peers. They were an extremely influential and wealthy group.

"The peers and their near relations almost monopolized high political office. From these great families came the wealthiest Church dignitaries, the higher ranks in the army and navy. Many of them found a career in law; some even did not disdain the money to be made in trade. What gave this class its particular importance in the political life of the day was the way in which it was organized on a basis of family and connection ... in eighteenth-century politics men rarely acted as isolated individuals. A man came into Parliament supported by his friends and relations who expected, in return for this support, that he would further their interests to the extent of his parliamentary influence.

"Next in both political and social importance came the gentry. Again it is not easy to define exactly who were covered by this term. The Law knew nothing of gentle birth but Society recognized it. Like the nobility this group too was as a class closely connected with land. Indeed, the border line between the two classes is at times almost impossible to define ... Often these men are described as the squirearchy, this term being used to cover the major landowning families in every county who were not connected by birth with the aristocracy. Between them and the local nobility there was often considerable jealousy. The country gentleman considered himself well qualified to manage the affairs of his county without aristocratic interference.

"...The next great layer in society is perhaps best described the contemporary term 'the Middling Sort'. As with all eighteenth-century groups it is difficult to draw a clear line of demarcation between them and their social superiors and inferiors. No economic line is possible, for a man with no pretensions to gentility might well be more prosperous than many a small squire. There was even on the fringe between the two classes some overlapping of activities ... The ambitious upstart who bought an estate and spent his income as a gentleman, might be either cold-shouldered by his better-born neighbours or treated by them with a certain contemptuous politeness. If however his daughters were presentable and well dowered, and if his sons received the education considered suitable for gentlemen, the next generation would see the obliteration of whatever distinction still remained. The solid mass of the middling sort had however no such aspirations, or considered them beyond their reach.

"...This term [the poor] was widely used to designate the great mass of the manual workers. Within their ranks differences of income and of outlook were as varied as those that characterized the middle class. Once again the line of demarcation is hard to draw..."

—Dorothy Marshall, Eighteenth Century England (29-34)

(There's plenty more interesting information in the full chapter, especially regarding "the poor," and the chapter itself is contracted from a lengthier version published earlier.)
