Meet Lameri, my new salarian OC! She's a skilled thief for hire, who lives on the citadel.

Is this real? I didn't want to Google it.

this feels the same as being rick-rolled

Break a leg! Wait no, not like that-

You ever see something innocuous, minding its own business on the clearance shelf at Michael’s and before you know it, it takes over your life for a few weeks?

So it was with this desktop greenhouse.

I took it home and after taking an appropriate time to “season” my idea in my mind (read: a month or two) I set to make my vision of a mini botanical garden a reality.

I started by removing the heavy glass panels and building a raised floor above the latch. I wanted to use the base as a foundation on the building.

I wrapped the foundation in plastic stone textured flooring (meant for Christmas villages) and built a pond at one end of the same. I then gave it a more realistic paint job and designed a rough layout for my plants and displays.

I also knew I wanted to make the ironwork significantly more intricate, but I wasn’t sure how just yet…

Up next - PLANTS! I went wild making all kinds of plants. Some were specific species and some were more conceptual.

I made several trees with polymer clay and moss, cacti out of beads and flocking, cattails out of raffia, hot glue and coffee grounds, and giant monstera leaves out of paper and wire.

This part should have taken me a long time, but it really came together fast. I loved finding ways to replicate natural shapes and patterns using bits of this and that.

I did make adjustments to my plans as I went like eliminating benches in favor of a simpler overall design.

Then I needed to fill my pond with water. For this I used resin. Lily pads were added to the top layer, and I wired in simple LED fairy lights. The batteries are kept in the box under the foundation.

In a weekend frenzy I added more plants, metal (paper) steps, new (plexi)glass windows, a roof, wrought-iron vines (paper again), doors that open, and a hose reel disguising the latch. Suddenly, a project I thought would take months was finished…

I love my desktop botanical garden. Right now it sits on a simple lazy Susan in my office. But I’d love to get it a proper display box to protect from dust.

Thank you for coming on this little journey with me. This piece packs a lot of joy into a tiny space. I always love building miniatures, and I’ll be doing more in the future I’m sure.

I wish all environmentalists a very suck cocks in hell

I wish that this person would receive perfect clarity of mind about her actions and their consequences, and I wish a gun with a single bullet would be placed before her so that she could make good use of this mindstate

Step 1: Mandate alternatives to emission-heavy systems

Step 2: Fail to provide energy for said systems

Step 3: ???

Step 4: ??? still

Step 5: Guess I’ll die

Ma! Maaaaa! The Germans are blowing up their power plants again!

my favorite graph regarding nuclear

reminds me of the time I said something pro-nuclear to my ex and they said “I don’t think you’d feel that way if you grew up near a nuclear plant like I did” and I asked “oh what happened” and they were like “well. nothing. nevertheless”

no discussion of nuclear power is complete without the fact that coal and other fossil fuels very much do produce toxic and radioactive waste

Schroder, Merkel, and a SHITLOAD of German Greens and other EU politicians have some ‘splainin’ to do.

More evidence for my theory that the left is infiltrated still by FSB operatives.

Somebody please give the WSDOT social media folks a raise.

Gonna go paint gold betta fish all over my dark green bathroom walls. Posting this as motivation to actually follow through on it.

Progress shot! It’s metallic so it changes with the light a little bit.

Slowly but surely expanding the school!

Added more bettas today! Once I’ve added them all I think I’m going to fill in the gaps with a swirling school of little fish.

Hid the message & two fish behind my husband’s towel to surprise him.

According to color theory, brown has more positive connotations than negative. Brown is associated with nature, stability, and warmth. Also a rich neutral tone goes well with most decor.

best animal names: unnecessarily judgemental edition

i mean this in the nicest way possible but some of you need to learn how to be annoyed

people are going to annoy you and that’s not a reason to burn bridges or blow up relationships

some people will even annoy you often! some people aren’t good at social cues and will therefore be frequently annoying! still not a reason to blow everything up!

part of developing your sense of community is learning how to tolerate people being annoying to you

it’s no great hardship to include even the people you find a bit irritating in your community

this post is about everyone who’s kind of annoying (which. everyone is annoying sometimes) but it’s also specifically about neurodivergent people who are just trying to exist in their communities without being ostracized for not doing every social interaction perfectly

measure once cut also once, no prablem

concept for a vcarving project

no i get you this was perfectly centered when i wrote it

I have done the cross stitch
