diatoms reproduce like little glass houses. like how a petri dish has a small half and a slightly wider half for them to fit together? 🧫 same with diatoms but they made their bodies with silica. to reproduce, they split into each half of the petri dish, then *rebuild* the other half that they’re missing from silica in the water, and repeat until they’re so tiny that they can’t really fit their necessary internal structures. so they just split apart & make a larger silica house to do it all again

Fuck dude all the info about my hyperfixation just left my head

I’ve been hyper fixed on working on the dress I’m making for my wedding (it’s in September lol) I crocheted one of the gloves today and I wrote the pattern for it and everything it’s made in the same stitch as the top which is the “uneven sprouting plant stitch” (including a pic of the top in the replies) (I did not come up with the stitch) and I’m working on the other one but that’s only bc I got bored of hand sewing a glittery ribbon onto the hem of the skirt which was actually (1/2)

The glitter ribbon and the gold thread I found

And the top I’m going to add a little boarder at the top to match the edging on the gloves I made everything except the lace at the bottom (also if you saw this pic on girl talk a while ago hello again lol I was wrong when I originally called the stitch an alternating leaf stitch)
