Question for the #fursuit builders out there — how would you articulate the pedipalps of a peacock spider? I explain the problem a little more in this post: https://glowingskull.tumblr.com/post/175664173748/regarding-jaws

1. Does the soy-sauce taste-test replicate?
2. Even for people with scrotums but no balls?
3. Even for people without senses of smell?
4. In a double blind, where the subject and applicator don't know the fluid being applied to the ballsack?

*grumble*
The pedipalp is composed of two limb segments joined by a simple hinge, and the proximal segment is attached to the head with another simple hinge.

But the angle of the hinges is such that the distal segment is splayed in an unnatural fashion.

The only ways I can see to fix this are:
1. Cut the proximal segment in half, drill holes, reattach at angle
2. Ditch the extant distal segment, and rebuild to accommodate the hinge at an angle.

Finally making more eyes for the #maratus, and redoing the pedipalps.

Called home to tell parents that, should comms be lost in the event of escalation, that I do love them.

One parent asked whether I worried about that happening. I replied that I had no faith that the lack-of-leadership in the WH would avoid escalating that high. Said parent started on a thread about how the Iran situation was the fault of anyone-but-this-administration.
Other parent cut first parent off, pointing out that that wasn't why I called. ❤️

I suppose it's time for #TMITuesday. Feel free to grab an askhole.io prompt, draw a CAH black card, or roll your Rory's Story Cubes for a prompt.

y'know how sometimes people put small animals in the hoods of hoodies or jackets? not safe for babies.

let's make a baby carrier that looks like the baby is being carried in the oversized hood of a hoodie.

I spent the last hour and a half sewing and watching The Mandalorian.

The village in episode 4 has an interesting quirk of costume design: their clothes, like the krill they harvest, are blue-green. (at least, under f.lux.) Is this an indication that they process the krill into dye?

Serious question: does Hallmark make "Happy first dose of E" cards?

Salt and vinegar chips, with salsa?
Ouch, my mouth.
