Random Thursday (ˈrandəm ˈTHərzdā): the day on which Sarah plunks down all the odd bits and pieces she’s been sent by friends or has otherwise stumbled upon this week in an effort to avoid writing a real post, the assembly of which usually ends up taking twice as much time as sitting down and creating actual content.
Shiny!

Subtlety is for the Birds
But not this one.
This is a Tufted Coquette.
There is nothing else it could be.
I’m still not sure it wasn’t photoshopped out of several different birds and a drag show . . .
ooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooo
Victorian Trek
Janeway and Data, Stardate . . . 1845.5.7?
And, courtesy of Stephen J. Connell,
Lieutenant Riker (I assume)
in all his swashbuckling glory.
If Steampunk Trek fanfic wasn’t already a thing
(and you know it is)
these would be the inspiration that launched
a thousand new Ao3 accounts.
Maybe they will anyway—the needs of the many and all that.
ooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooo
The Raining Beauty
This waterfall graphic print is in a train station in Japan.
It is the awesome—especially when two small children walk up to it.
ooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooo
Monkeycakes!
The girls and I had pancakes for dinner the other day
and I used Jane’s batter squirter dispenser.
I’m getting pretty good at squirrels,
so I decided to stretch my repertoire
and made a happy monkey.
When I showed the picture to my husband,
he said, “Wow! You’re really getting good at that!”
I was pretty pleased, before I realized that he was looking at it upside-down.
But then I thought,
it takes some serious mad skillz
to make a reversible happy monkey pancake
without even knowing it.
ooooooooooOOOOOoooooooooo
Oh, Bother
Jim Cummings Pooh Bear, Tigger, and Darkwing Duck read a selection from a galaxy far, far, away:
