A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Green approaches Blue, who is visibly delighted by this. Green: I'm done with work! Blue: Finally! Blue rushes to wrap himself around Green. Blue: Now I can hug you and kiss you and show you memes! Tightly wrapped up in Blue's coiled embrace, Green makes no effort to break free. Green: You also do that when I'm working. Blue takes up his phone to show Green something on the screen. Green watches attentively. Blue: Yes, but now I'm allowed to.

Garak and Mary Poppins might be the same person.

Garak's just a tailor, Mary's just a nanny. And both of them are lying about that.

They make impossible things happen, gaslight people like a pro, never explain anything, and are practically perfect in every way.

Just saying.

#QueerPrompts Nov 2

I mostly write Steampunk (1890-1910) which is pretty similar to our world. And second world fantasy (technology variable 1300-1600).

Queerness as identity didn't exist before the 1940s. It was seen simply as what one did, not what was.

Text: "November 2026" in the trans flag colors and "Safe Space" and "You're A Star" on top and "#QueerPrompts" and "Host: @CJAralore" on the bottom in a rainbow font.

On the off chance that #electrochemistry feed here is active, I'm looking for a decent (both in sensitivity and accuracy) and affordable (preferably all-in-one) Eh sensor suitable for seawater and marine porewater (high ionic strength).
Any recommendations?

Daily bunny no.3490 is making some adjustments
Two bunnies stand on the face of a giant, mystical-looking clockface, which is floating in a starry void. Gold gears are visible beneath the surface of the clock, which is translucent. One of the bunnies has grey fur and wears a robe, but the other looks to be a normal bunny.

The image is of a four panel comic. The first panel depicts Sarah, the protagonist, dressed as a witch. She says, "I want a dog as a familiar." The second panel depicts Sarah now standing next to another witch, who is holding a black cat. She says, "You can try. But they have to be evil." Above the third and fourth panel is a title that reads "LATER:" In the third panel we see Sarah with a line of dogs in front of her. She asks the dog closest to her, "Are you also a good boy?" and the dog replies "YES". In the fourth panel we see Sarah fall to her knees in exasperation.

Daily bunny no.3489 fits perfectly
A bunny stands next to a series of exactly bunny-shaped holes in a cliffside, like the manga "Enigma of Amigara Fault". They are about to go in, but two other bunnies rush to stop them, with an exasperated look. Also, a bird has decided to nest in one of the bunny-shaped holes
