Are you or your loved one looking for a new sleep paralysis demon?

Today's your lucky day!

Pros:
Can fit under your bed if needed.
Doesn't mind standing for long hours.
Has seen Nightmare on Elm Street. Believes in vaccination and that the world is round.

Cons:
I would like him home before 1am.
Is a bit sneezy this time of the year.
Knows too many Dad jokes.
Will definitely be more scared than you.

Can also be hired out to stand ominously in the background at funerals, Halloween parties, or weddings.

This is a one-time deal. Get your offers in quickly!

I'm counting this as an early #spookysaturday and a#texturetuesday because of how crunchy it looks. 😂

Only Ghosts in these Halls / Solo Fantasme in queste Sale for #monochromemonday

In the Archiginnasio the walls are covered in around 6000 heraldic arms. These arms commemorate past students, teachers and patrons of the university. Arms were added to the walls until the late 18th century. (The Archiginnasio was built in 1563 so we're taking about 200 years worth of people)
It got me thinking about all the people who come and go from the building, yet it remains.
The "ghosts" right now are those represented by the heraldry, but one day will be us. But it's a Monday morning so don't think about it too deeply okay! ✨
This photo is a combination of a double exposure and a long exposure (because I have shaky hands and I really liked the people in one photo and the background in another so I tried to squish them together 😂)
Do not look too closely as it's my first time trying this and it's a mess. Just squint and enjoy! 😂✨

I read in a book about an experiment during which people were given a square of their favorite chocolate and had to rate whether they wanted more after the last piece or if they didn't want any more. The more chocolate they had after a certain point, the less they wanted.

They were either eating the wrong chocolate (probably! milk chocolate is sugar) or were not real chocolate fans.

When I am eating my favorite dark chocolates (90% Lindt or 87% Laima, a Latvian chocolate), I have to hold myself back from eating ever more of it. Both of these chocolates are low in sugar, sugar being further on the list of ingredients compared to other chocolates. So it's more chocolate than anything else, though it isn't bitter like some of those chalky high-percentage chocolates that really don't understand the potential of chocolate at all.

So I guess if I were in that experiment, I would skew the results, and happily.

I say as I eat some dark chocolate accompanied by a mug of chocolate-and-orange rooibos.

Repost/Re-edit because it was looking super crunchy after uploading and I'm not too sure why! Anyway! Wanted to bring you a dandelion because there were loads of them at the park - but a little bit differently✨

Beekeeping experiment FAIL. Last year, attempted to use Rustoleum Never Wet over metal tape to create an ant-proof barrier. It does not work, it's not slick enough to keep ants crawling up it. Plus, the tape eventually peels off. You also see that dirt and mud sticks to the "Never Wet" surface. #beekeeping #experiment

#WombTransplant: the mother of my children demands to know why the lives of two women were put at risk with three major operations, when exactly the same result could have been achieved with a surrogate pregnancy (using that uterus in its natural place). theguardian.com/society/2025/a I would also argue that the baby didn't benefit from being carried by a mum on #immunosuppressants, so 3 humans were harmed in this #experiment. #science #medicine #ExperimentsOnHumans #MedicalEthics #DoNoHarm

A little bit of a Claude Monet inspired photo! (From the Water Lilies Series) This was taken in Giardini Margherita and I tried to get a picture of one of the carp - but they were way too quick for me! 😂
