Tatreez embroidery! This is an endangered craft but there are a few organizations working to preserve it. I really like https://tirazain.com/archive which is preserving motifs and turning them into easy-to-use cross stitch charts in an organized online library.
so, i live on the fourth floor of an apartment building that faces a fairly busy street; it’s on a hill so car noises are pretty regular over the course of the day. because i’m high above the street, you obviously can’t see the cars unless you look out the window, right? but sometimes the sun reflects off the car roofs or whatever, and so there’ll be a light on my ceiling as a car passes by.
so my cat? whenever he hears a loud engine, day or night, he looks at my ceiling. even if there is no refraction going on. to him, those are the sounds of light on the ceiling. sometimes the light appears and there is a loud noise. it’s 8pm and a truck just passed and he watched the ceiling as the car moved past my windows – no reflection this time of night, but trucks are ceiling creatures and i just think that’s such a like – it’s a good correlation, buddy!! you figured it out!! you’re wrong but you’re so smart!!
this is NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING FROM THIS POST but anyway here’s my cat stalking trucks (on the ceiling)
25 hours later and rip my phone battery and i’m thinking i should’ve named my cat plato….or y’know……….at all
response to some common tags on this post:
yes he is a handsome and fluffy boy
yes he sits super weird all the time he’s a proper young gentleman
yes that chair has been through it; no one else touches it anymore it’s been surrendered to his control
no i did not ever name him he’s a shadowy figure of mystery (we call him fluffbutt)
no i had not really heard of plato’s cave before but boy do i know it now
i turned off notifs on this post about a minute after it started getting reblogs so lmao holy crap
