What if I never find the words for this?

Traditional mirror mazes are dark and creepy. This one is brightly lit, and colorful.

The triangular grid makes it that much more disorienting.

The pillars help to obscure the difference between the mirrors and the openings -- so it doesn't NEED to be dark.

For @timdrakewhump because you liked the derby I wanted to do more!! Thank you so much for your wonderful words about my last art. I figured since my art kinda changed from a while ago I’d do another one.

because it’s gloomy out and I’m nauseous and I say I want ten instead of five right now:

• dog and I found a cool plant we hadn’t seen before earlier

• rib isn’t catching as much today

• tying shoes really squeezy tight

• imagining what’ll happen if someone tries using the new papal encyclical to claim religious exemption from being forced to use generative ai at home or work

• Redwall

• still have two slices of cheese left in the fridge

• managed to cook beans and stuff

• overhead lighting

• keys and locks and the little noises they make

• physical buttons

The first thing is that you have to preheat your oven, and also your pans on the stove. You think "oh I can just throw Thing in the oven and wait for it to come up to heat" that is the devil talking. Whatever you're cooking, you want it to go in the oven and the oven be a consistent temp and start those tasty chemical reactions that cook your food: crisping edges of veg, causing cookies to rise.

You also have to preheat your pan on the stove. Every time. You think "oh the pan is fine I'm gonna put Thing in it now" and then nothing happens so you turn up the heat thinking the stove needs to be hotter because Thing isn't cooking and then all of a sudden it's too hot and you ruined the Thing. Let the pan preheat. For several minutes. To test if your pan is hot, run your hand under the sink and flick a couple drops of water onto the pan. Sizzling? Good your pan is hot. Water just sitting there? It's not preheated.

Can't tell you how many times I've talked to someone who "can't cook" or "the recipe didn't come out right" and when I asked if they preheated the oven or pan the answer was no.

As far as I can tell, all other pfas-free nonstick claims are kinda bogus.

They are in space!

Looks like Grace and Rocky both fell asleep. Would you mind watching over them as they sleep on your dash? Thanks
