Yesterday I started idly wondering if #clitorises are a human/primate special or if they are more widespread. Turns out they are! Almost all vertebrates have them, except for birds, except except for those bird species where the males have penes. Clitorises have even been found in reptiles like snakes, who have two-parted "hemiclitorises" \o/ But animal clitorises are still quite under…
Ah, it's the season when I tape a random page of white paper on my window to filter my neighbors' blinking Christmas decorations out of my peripheral vision, because I can't focus or relax at my desk while they are blinking at me, even from a safe distance.

Since a few weeks I have a Hippeastrum bulb standing on my desk, so I can watch something grow even at this time of the year. Two days ago it finally burst open. Here are some views from before.

one day I might turn the deliciously creepy forms of the Himalayan balsam into scifi spaceships

PSA if you live in Europe & have any tendency to feel like shit in winter AND known counter strategies for feeling less like shit ... start employing them NOW.
(I tend to do ok in winter but I am still ramping up my anti-depression tool use, and I am seeing a bunch of friends look like they are entering their winter holes of misery, and am generally a fan of less misery in the world.)

I think maybe I want to have begonias in my garden again this year...
