Some alcohol still absorbs through the skin inside your mouth, tasting and spitting 50 wines at a quick pace through a day can get someone tipsy. Judging wines properly can also involve swallowing a tiny amount to feel the characteristics of it on the way down the throat.

…But there’s officially a new cat color in town: salmiak, or ‘salty liquorice.’ You can see one here.

The pretty black, white, and grey shade—named for a popular snack food in Finland, where this coat color has been making itself known—is thanks to a fur strand that starts off black near the root, but grows whiter and whiter out towards the tip. The coat was first spotted in 2007, and in 2019, it was brought to the attention of a group of cat experts lead by feline geneticist Heidi Anderson.

Since then, the group has been trying to figure out exactly what causes this shade to express itself, and recently, they finally figured it out. A paper on the discovery has been published in the journal Animal Genetics.

Wallpaper in paintings makes me happy. Can you reproduce a wallpaper pattern from someplace nostalgic and Christmassy for your mom, or connected to that ornament? Or the look of a particular tablecloth, drapes, distinctive woodwork, anything like that which might be in an old photo?

It’s a cool piece. And I appreciate all shits given, then and now, about how COVID is both airborne and spooky.

If anyone is down for a fascinating video essay about this by a textile historian: Standardized Sizes Ruined our Clothing Quality

Have you ever wondered how we let clothing quality get so bad? It wasn’t just desperation for cheaper options- the 18th century consumer would never have been willing to pay so much for such poor quality cloth. And yet, they stayed clothed. Even their cheaper options lasting years of hard wear. But they knew what quality looked like and for the most part, we don’t.

When did we forget how to shop for good clothing rather than just trendy? What makes clothing “high quality” is so complex and nearly impossible to track with online shopping. Even in person, it’s not a simple answer. But it used to be that more money meant more quality, plain and simple. Where did we mess up this system? Turns out, standardized sizing allowed (and even encouraged) far more than just issues with poor fit and body image.

I wish I knew. Scouring a metal bottle by using a bottle brush with a little water and rock salt or baking soda can help de-scum the films that lead to mold.
