Meet Maya! She sleeps anywhere. She flops down and just decides to nap. She is a lazy cat, unless there is chicken. Then she meows for it and even tries to steal it. She loves chicken so much, they have to spell out the word “nugget” when she is around. #catsofmastodon #dontsaynugget #chicken #lazycats

Top 5 questions I’m asked as an American living in Australia:

- Are U.S. portions sizes really as big as they say? (Yes)

- Why do Americans have such straight white teeth? (Cultural norms)

- Will the U.S. will fall apart soon? (Hope not)

- Does every American have a gun? (No, but some have a lot of them)

- How do you send your kids to U.S. schools every day given mass shootings? (I really don’t know)

I’m finally squeezing in more playful sketchbook time - thanks in great part to #sketchbookrevival

My server hard drives were overheating so I added some ventilation holes to improve the air flow 👌

The elegant symmetry of the Finnieston Brass Foundry.

Dating from the late 1800s, it wasn't designed by a famous architect and it's not decorated in fancy sculptures and stonework, yet it's a building of functional beauty and it remains an important remnant of Glasgow's industrial past.

It will soon be knocked down and replaced with very generic-looking boxy flats.

A version of the "zooming in" animation up in the thread where the color of hats and clusters is based on their rotation (and the saturation is based on hat/cluster type), and the lowest level oscillates between the possible shapes.

Let's see if we can continue #VisibleWomen over here! I have seen a few already so let me add to it!

https://float.exposed/ is really indispensable for explaining floating point -- it's SO fun to open it up and change the bits to show people how floating point works

In a combination of #TombTuesday and #CatsOfMastodon, I bring you the final resting place of wee Caty, in the Asnières-sur-Seine, France--the oldest pet cemetery in Europe. Since its founding in 1899, tens of thousands of animals, famous and humble, have been interred. The French inscription on the stone reads, "To Caty. To you who have long been my faithful companion, I keep your immortal image in my heart, 1948-1957."
