They were trying to help, which didn't help. But as much as it pissed me off, I kind of appreciated it.

Who are generally more well-behaved? Seals or sea lions?

This might help put things into perspective. 😅

But in all honesty, our animals are amazing! Each individual has unique challenges and strengths, but they are all good pinns.

the insane experience of missing a fictional character . like you can always go back and reread the book , replay the game , rewatch the show or movie , you can always go back & see them , but you can never experience them & their story for the first time again . its absurd to miss them because they'll always be there , but you'll miss when there were still new things for them to say .

for a small time they were real & growing and changing and you hung onto every new word, but now all they can do is repeat the same story forever&ever & they're not real anymore because you know everything they're going to do. & you miss them. its fucked man...

father’s day for many is hard. this post is dedicated to those who see the cards come out and feel sick. some fathers leave, some abuse, some neglect, some have passed away. whatever the case may be, it can be trying. i hope you get through the day feeling as good as possible. just another day in the year. remember you are not obligated to love someone who hurts you even if it’s a parent. for those who have good fathers, i hope you have the best day with them.

I realized this was gonna be tricky, because humans are so pathetically weak-willed. So I searched for some relevant dialogue from Medcenter Argala.

Among the reasons why Star Trek: Deep Space Nine is the best Star Trek is that the outfits look like they were designed by a competent costume designer who had been given a pile of the world's most miscellaneous fabrics and told that if they didn't use it all up by sunrise, Rumpelstiltskin would take their firstborn child.

Embroidery Meets Art: Victoria Rose Richards’ Stunning Aerial Landscapes

Art takes on many forms. While some mediums are widely recognized, others remain underappreciated despite their beauty. Embroidery, for example, is an ancient craft that often flies under the radar—yet in the hands of a talented artist, it can be truly breathtaking.

Meet Victoria Rose Richards, a 26-year-old embroidery artist from South West Devon, UK. Though she holds a degree in biology, her true passion lies in needle and thread. Her mesmerizing aerial embroidery landscapes evoke a deep sense of nostalgia, capturing the beauty of the countryside from a bird’s-eye perspective.

“Do you have fond memories of visiting the countryside as a child? A nostalgia for those simpler, rose-tinted memories? These are the feelings I focus on recreating in my aerial embroidery landscapes,” Victoria shares on her website.

Her journey into embroidery began as an escape from boredom. After facing various challenges in life, she realized that creative expression was the key to fulfillment. What started as a simple hobby soon became a lifelong passion—one that has brought her both joy and a thriving career. Now, nestled in the countryside, Victoria finds endless inspiration in the landscapes around her, weaving emotion and memory into every stitch.

Embroidery has been around for thousands of years. According to historical records, the technique dates back as far as 30,000 B.C., with some of the earliest examples originating in Ancient China between the 3rd and 5th centuries B.C. By the early Middle Ages, embroidery had already made its way to Europe, where it became a symbol of wealth and status. Nobles adorned their clothing and homes with elaborate stitched designs, turning embroidery into a coveted art form.

The craft saw a major transformation during the Industrial Revolution, particularly with the invention of the first embroidery machine in mid-19th century France. This innovation paved the way for mass production, making embroidery more accessible than ever. Today, with the help of modern materials and technology, the art form continues to evolve while preserving its traditional charm.

Despite its long history, embroidery remains a unique and fascinating craft. Artists like Victoria Rose Richards ensure its relevance by pushing creative boundaries and offering fresh perspectives. Her work proves that embroidery is more than just decoration—it’s a medium for storytelling, emotion, and artistic expression.

Through her breathtaking aerial landscapes, Victoria brings embroidery into the modern art world, allowing us to rediscover the beauty of this ancient craft. And thanks to artists like her, we get to experience its magic in ways we never imagined.

I remember my home. I remember growing up. I remember you and me at the Academy together. That happened. It just wasn't your first life. Why would they lie?! Why would they do that?!

Best running gag in the show tbh

[terrayoung]

I was convincing a friend to watch Leverage by telling her how great the characters are, and the following conversation happened.

Friend: Well who's in it? Anyone I'd recognize?

Me: Aldis Hodge from Cross is one of the main characters.

Friend: Ooh!

Me: And I don't remember, have you seen Angel? Christian Kane is in it too.

Friend: Christian Kane?? I remember him from Fame LA! I thought he was really good, but then he kind of just disappeared??? What happened?

Me: Well, Dean Devlin found him in 2008 and just. Yeah, that's where he's been.
