  • tyvm. Have some more ~(つˆ0ˆ)つ。☆

    Neon Genesis Evangelion is an anime from 1995 that defined some fundamentals of anime as a genre and helped a lot of folks through some shit over the years. Within its time and context, it gave some fresh takes on things like gender and autism which didn’t have much representation back then. It has smashy giant robots and family drama and aesthetic religion and some wild ass pretentious artsy strangeness.

    The head desking meme lad is protagonist Shinji. You read him like a sonnet without knowing him, which is some bodhisattva shit. Anyway, Evangelion needs a sheaf of content warnings, but I gift you the cursed knowledge to do with as you will. 🧿


















  • …But there’s officially a new cat color in town: salmiak, or ‘salty liquorice.’ You can see one here.

    The pretty black, white, and grey shade—named for a popular snack food in Finland, where this coat color has been making itself known—is thanks to a fur strand that starts off black near the root, but grows whiter and whiter out towards the tip. The coat was first spotted in 2007, and in 2019, it was brought to the attention of a group of cat experts lead by feline geneticist Heidi Anderson. 

    Since then, the group has been trying to figure out exactly what causes this shade to express itself, and recently, they finally figured it out. A paper on the discovery has been published in the journal Animal Genetics.
