Guys, Colin Mochrie’s daughter is transgender. It’s so amazing and heartwarming to see celebrities accept and be vocal about their trans loved ones. It’s a reminder for myself and other trans people that we are not alone. There is love in the world. Just another reason to love Colin Mochrie 💖💙

Cats and snow don’t mix
Are y’all bored as I am while stuck inside? Are your cats driving you crazy? A good way to keep you and your cats sane during quarantine is to create some home-made puzzle feeders!
All of the puzzle feeders I will be making today are created using scrap recycling and cat toys found around my house. If you don’t have all the materials, get creative and see if there’s anything else you can repurpose!
Materials Needed:
Egg carton
Cat toys
Treats
Step 1: Place treats or dry kibble in the bottom of each compartment of the carton.
Step 2: Cover each compartment with cat toys.
Step 3: Enjoy!
Modifications: To make this easier for some cats, remove the toys so the treats are visible. To make this puzzle harder, keep the lid on the carton so your cat has to tear through it first.
Materials Needed:
Toilet paper roll
Newspaper
Cat treats
Step 1: Put treats into the toilet paper roll
Step 2: Stuff newspaper in both ends
Modifications: To make this easier for some cats, loosen the newspaper or use smaller pieces that can fall out on their own. For a more difficult toy, crumple the ends of the tube so it is more difficult to get the paper and treats out.
Materials:
Toilet paper roll
Scissors
Tape
Small treats
Step 1: Cut some holes in the tube (large enough for treats to come out with movement).
Step 2: Tape one end of the tube.
Step 3: Add treats.
Step 4: Tape the other end of the tube.
Modifications: For an easier toy, add more/larger holes. Add fewer holes to increase difficulty.
Materials:
Cardboard
Paper towel/toilet paper tubes
Scissors
Glue
Tape
Treats
Step 1: Cut your toilet paper tubes into varying heights. Make sure to cut them to a length shorter than your cat’s legs.
Step 2: Glue the tubes onto your large cardboard piece.
Step 3: Tape your cardboard piece onto a flat surface to prevent it from moving.
Step 4: Fill the tubes with treats!
Modifications: Cut the tubes shorter to make this puzzle easier. For added difficulty, stuff newspaper or toys into the tubes.
As a note: always watch your cats while they are using puzzle feeders to ensure they do not eat anything they are not supposed to!

A follow-up to this ask!! I apologize if any of this is unclear, I’ve never done a tutorial before XP ALSO - I do all of my stuff in PaintTool Sai, so some layer modes might not match for those of you with other programs!
1) First things first, I color everything in the dark blue in my color palette. This is the darkest color I’m going to use, everything is lighter from here.
2) In a new clipping layer above the base color, I use either an airbrush or a watercolor brush to add a bit of light to the lower half of the face. I use the lightest blue on the palette, and the layer mode is set to “Lumi & Shade”
3) Next I color the eyes and mouth if needed. I use the same light blue on a new layer. The opacity is set to around 80% and the layer mode is “Lumi & Shade” again.
4) On to the purple! New layer, also on “Lumi & Shade”, and I use an airbrush or watercolor tool. I basically do what I did for the lower face, except the purple is coming down from the top.
5) New layer! This time it will be set to “Overlay” and I use the pink! With a regular brush. When I am doing this, I want the pink to sort of swirl out from his forehead and travel in whatever direction his flames are angled. I then take a blur tool, and very lightly blur the ends, just to make it look a little neater.
6) New layer again! No layer mode this time (you can totally put it on a layer mode, I just prefer not to). I use the same brush tool as I did with the pink and do the same thing with the yellow. Swirl it up from the forehead and in the direction of the flames.
7) New layer! “Lumi & Shade” 80%(ish) Opacity! Same thing with the pink and yellow! There will be less room, so I also put a little streak down on his neck.
8) This step is optional, I just do it to give the color a little more vibrancy. I run each color over itself with a big airbrush in a new “Overlay” layer. It helps harmonize the colors in a way.
9) S P A R K L E S This is on a new layer, the mode is set to “Luminosity”. Then on a new “Lumi & Shade” layer, I airbrush some of the light blue over the eyes to make them glow.
10) LAST STEP! On a new clipping layer above the lines, I use a darker variant of each color to color the lineart. Above that, I make an “Overlay” layer and draw on the lenses of the glasses with white.
And that’s it! You now have a glittery star boy. I hope this was helpful! Honestly, this is just how I do it, you can do it any way you want. If there’s any confusion, I’ll do my best to clear it up :D
happy pride month from your neighborhood gray!! I forget that asexuality has been severely misrepresented and that a lot of people don’t actually know what it is as a result so here is an overview of what asexuality is, what it’s not, and how acephobic is represented. there is so much more to asexuality than just this. I didn’t even mention the medicalization of asexuality!
I highly rec scretspiderlady on Twitter because she writes a lot about the ace experience and has many comprehensive threads. I also rec Yasmin Benoit, a Black aroace lingerie model who is fighting misinformation about asexuality and shedding light on racism within the asexual community. if you’re interested in more resources feel free to dm me!
EDIT: I updated the slide that refers to asexuality as “aspec” to “acespec.” The term aspec refers to the a community as a whole – both asexuals and aromantics – while acespec refers to the asexual spectrum and arospec referes to the aromantic spectrum. You can see this mirrored in the terms acephobia (experienced by aces), arophobia (experienced by aros), and aphobia (experienced by both aces and aros). Thank you to those of you who tagged this post with their correction!
EDIT 2: now with a text-only option!
im begging anyone who sees this post to prevent rapesexual, im begging you. no one will see this but if you do reblog to get the message out that these fuckers exist and dont deserve to exist heres the flag so you can know who to fucking block, report and tell to fuck off
i dont want this to ruin the pride and help with self esteem of being lgbtq+ so a signal boost from larger accounts might be nice
Yes geologists! Doing the important work 💖
