A quick lil hack I threw together before work on Friday morning because I’d promised There Would Be Cake. The cake is so disgustingly unsound technically – I can list at least seven major problems with it just off the top of my head, not least of which being that it was cold in the […]

Random biology this week, since I feel like we haven’t done that in a while. Today, we’re talking about this critter: In most of Australia, we call them Slater beetles or Slater bugs, but they have a whole host of names around the world – often riffing on the ‘bug’ theme. HOWEVER. I just discovered

Been a while since I’ve done a cake, but here we go! Another cement + yellow flowers cake because I had the cement-style icing in the freezer from the last one :’D This, let me tell you, is a DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS cake: it’s a GF chocolate mud (so soft, so tasty) with real strawberries and

It’s been a long time since I made words creatively, so to celebrate the fact that last weekend I added a few hundred words to a short story I’ve been picking away at for years, I thought I’d share the first half of that story here 🙂 Hope you enjoy it! Warm steam filled the

They literally have muscles in their faces that wolves lack which enable them to pull that cool I’M A PUPPY LOVE

On the theme of random animals who sing unexpectedly, apparently fish also sing. You can click through here to hear it! This recording has a bunch of different fish singing together, somewhat like frogs do, and–like other animals–apparently fish tend to sing more at dawn and dusk too! So random. So cool.

Ah, the melodrama. 😀 Actually, all this is about is the fact that the latest Inklet, “Alone” is out now! 😀 (Although, as I type this, I am in fact alone, and have been for a couple of days, and it is QUIET, and MAGICAL.) “Alone” is yet another iteration of the Jesscapades story, a
