Today, we're talking Kodkod - leopardus guigna. Specifically, I want to bring you attention to the melanistic Kodkod (click around for more pictures). While the beautiful patterns of cats often make their shapes hard to grasp, the (for kodkod quite common) melanistic variants enable us to see it clearly. See how dense and almost bear-like our kodkod looks. Interesting!

1/10/23 Too many appealing comics at Shortbox Comics Fair. I mean this. There are too many and it is stressing me out! Augh.
29/9/23 I ate a delicious sandwich
22/9/23 Are you all enjoying 'An Effort to Improve the Elephant'? I hope so.
22/9/23 Carving out an online representation of yourself and choosing of all things to include a picture of your face, I have to say I don't relate.
21/9/23 Missed out on a very intriguing second act of theather in my dream tonight because having to choose dinner from a menu during the break stressed me out so bad that I woke up =(^o_._o^)=
20/9/23 Radio.garden not allowing iframe embedding is really messing up my plans right now............
19/9/23 Pondering when a piece graduates from the "new" section of the gallery. I've got several things ready to be added, but CiaWB is still so recent. Ah, maybe I need to rearrange things in there more drastically..
19/9/23 Found two sites linking to me with my button. Thank you. Feel free to let me know if you use my button. 
18/9/23 I am sad that I will have to write in English in order to be understood. English is not the muscle I want to be training.
18/9/23 My parents' cat is currently taking the platonic ideal of a perfect nap.
16/9/23 Managing quite well, as in: comfortable in what I am accomplishing; as in: feeling in control; as in: successfully enforcing limits in places that aren't given. But I feel exhaustion just under the surface, exposed if I'd lightly scratch the surface. Like paint, like paper, like sunburnt skin.
16/9/23 Being in an empty house, I'm listening to a lot of radio. Really good radio, every time I turn it on, it blows me away with great programming. But the 2020 lockdowns are repeatedly mentioned, and it has me pondering some personal things quite bitterly. Hmm.
16/9/23 Added new pictures to the gallery. I'm wondering about all the things not in there, my non digital pictures. In the future I might show you, I think you will like it.
15/9/23 Very excited about the additions to the links page.
14/9/23 Peeing in a perfectly good and clean bowl of fresh water, repeatedly, every day. Grotesque.
4/9/23 The Angel of Hearth and Home, or, The Triumph of Surrealism is IN A PRIVATE COLLECTION??
2/9/23 Sammenlagt (af andetsteds skrevne overvejelser): jeg skal fordybe mig for at kunne skabe meningsfyldt, men jeg kan ikke fordybe mig, endsige skabe, hvis jeg ikke føler det er meningsfyldt, og hvis jeg ikke kan retfærdiggøre over for mig selv, forbruget; spildet af resurser - ikke nemt foreneligt med min tradition og nødvendighed for løbende iteration, udtænkning i den igangværende proces. Men igen: hvad spilder ikke, hvad spilder ikke i det levende liv, og hvis vi ikke vil dø (se: dødskult, rituel selvudrydelse, en omend principfast, så opgivende og ynkelig tilgang), så må vi vel skabe og dermed: spilde, og deraf følger at det er nytteløst at pive over det.
And now, a walk
2/9/23 Nothing makes sense (;has a purpose) if you get too theorethical, but I don't think I know how not to. I can't puzzle out the justification of art, much as I cannot puzzle out the justification of anything, except, perhaps, eating, and death, and (illegitimately so) sickly ascetiscism. It is pointless and annoying to be stuck wondering, and I don't think much can be sorted out through a paralyzed body in thought. And yet! And yet.
2/9/23 Spent a long time pondering: What sort of art is justified? Perhaps, none. But then, neither is anything else. So then what? Then what?
30/8/23 Found this article while researching the new cat feature. It didn't make the cut, but do check it out for many good cat pictures AND (!) a hilarous looking rabbitlike creature called a 'Mountain Viscacha' (truly so funny). It is all about Chile!
28/8/23 About self portraiture: "it never really looks like me" because you are not a static being. You do not look a certain way. Flux. A more or less successful glimpse into what you might have been in a specific instant (though a fictional, amalgated instant, as it is created from several). I think the plasticity is the point. How do we portray the temporal? Well, depends.
28/8/23 Who are you people, looking at my site? What are you getting out of it? I would like to know.
28/8/23 Mina olen
kass,
mõnus kass, mõnusas paksus
päiksekiires
Päevitan
Mul on kassi peas:
(paksuspäiksekiires:)
Unine mõte, mõnus uni, ja
minu jalad on soojad, oma suuga
ma haigutan
28/8/23 Rootslane rosina Roosi, sina oled
kohev viinamari, liiga vana
ja valge
28/8/23 Mushroom foraging and unicycling incite the same reactions of disbelief in people, in my experience? Like these are difficult skills, outside of the capabilities of the average human. They're really not.
27/8/23 Yes, I am looking for purpose. I suppose that (much) is very simple and very normal and honestly embarassing to admit (as it is very simple and very normal), but even more embarassing not to admit. So I must admit it. Though recent events have informed me that purpose has a certain connection to 'resposibility', and that is a slug that does not lend itself to swallowing, though I am trying, I am trying.
27/8/23 I want to present my understanding in a way that is comprehensible, but I refuse to make sense, or: in that my understanding does not make sense (!), it would be antithetical.
27/8/23 It feels like: an expression that is not thorough, not cohesive in all ways is equal to nothing, for den er ikke gennemført, ikke et fuldstændigt jeg.
Men også: In the nature of development is: existing as an unfinished thing, an un-whole, or, the being that is Not Yet. And: It is impossible for a thing to exist if not developed first. Self contradiction as things are figured out, and: that the answer (to the extent that one can be believed to exist) does not crystallize, but is carved and sculpted. Yet it is hard to feel it doesn't cheapen the end result/argumentation/point of it all. I want to speak with conviction but I am not convinced.
The ideal state of things is impossible. At least, that much is not new.
25/8/23 Cooking basmati rice for the first time in months. Pulled the lid off and swooned at the aroma. YES!
25/8/23 I wish they had pressed your body down into a
stone, a little rock
for me to hold
and carry in my palm.
24/8/23 Neocities says I get somewhere between 50-200 unique visits every day.. who are you people!
24/8/23 Taking charge of my life like wrestling a skittish yet formidable hog.
21/8/23 Having a job is tough on me. Hope you all are well.
19/8/23 Finally, representation in media
19/8/23 I will fold in on myself until I am a small cube, and lay completely still for a couple of days.
17/8/23 Started work for real today.. had my international debut as a little monkey who throws fruit at people.
16/8/23 Ever since I implemented the snake game on this site, I keep returning here to play it. I hope you all enjoy it as well (it is on the desktop).
12/8/23 Always very funny to hear a disclaimer for swearing at the beginning of a podcast episode. Les Américains...
11/8/23 I am reading 'The Bloody chamber' by Angela Carter and she writes like a dream... currently on 'Puss in boots' which is SO funny, tomcat POV was made for me, specifically. The only other book I've read by her was 'The Passion of New Eve', which was a much more convoluted read. Compared to that, this one is incredibly accessible. She's so good with words. A treat.
9/8/23 Perhaps also worth mentioning, I landed a job. But my heart beats strong with the blood of the zone, my veins (læs: vener) continuosly bring it back to pulse around again and again. Goodnight.
9/8/23 There's been a change within me, an old change by now, gradual, but: Jeg er blevet træt af at se på mit eget ansigt, igen igen - igen - ! - igen, at beskue indad - at deskue, den indadvendte kunst. snak snak snak. As is so often done, I have looked to the past for insight (igen igen-igen does not start with me as a point of origin) In the future, I hope to elaborate on this. Ontogonesen følger fylogenesen. Ontogeny follows phylogeny.
9/8/23 Time to learn javascript.
7/8/23 'Swanlights' album by A+the Johnsons on repeat. Beautiful. Beautiful!
7/8/23 Always balancing between my desire for accessibility in what I create (that is, not ease of access, but a levelling of access; that accessibility should not be determined by (dis)ability), and the natural inclination for nonsense (inclination is too weak here, the word is more: need for, belief in, higen efter). But how is accessibility levelled in something that is by nature, inaccessible?
Hvad leder jeg efter, vreden? Eller den andens Hvorfor, der legitimiserer mit eget?
Tilgængeligheden må fanden tage, det utilgængelige, det userverede, den nød vi finder borte når vi knækker skallen. Du behøver ikke forstå; du behøver netop forstå, at det ikke alt sammen kommer nemt til dig (; at det ikke alt sammen kommer, til dig; at det ikke alt sammen behøver komme)
6/8/23 It has taken me years to come around to this, but I might have written off the Futurists too quickly. Not to say that Marinetti and his boys weren't fascist, more to say, it is interesting what others have transmuted from them.
What sent me down this path has mainly been later movements speaking so fondly of something that to me has always been obviously repugnant (although not uninteresting?)
5/8/23 Took two empty tuna cans and a thing of tomatos to the metal recycling. On the stairs, contemplated: this is not how food has always been. By the recycling, saw a woman with an impressivly large ass, and though: no single human is meant to understand everything.
3/8/23 Browsing all the fantastic sites here on neocities makes me want to make this place more eccentric..! All in due time
Making this website and teaching myself the skills to do so has been so fun, enriching and creatively fulfilling. Really, it very much surprised me! Tossed directly into my enclosure as a scented piñata for me to paw at.
1/8/23 Mushroom season has begun! Found a bunch today
1/8/23 Getting great enjoyment out of the "this is good enough"-approach. As always.
30/7/23 Everyone! Welcome to the site! My backlog of art to add is enormous, so that'll happen in batches. I added a taste test for every year, but I'm far from done! Enjoy your stay!
30/7/23 I keep getting distracted from this job application I'm writing to go stare lovingly at my website. Soon!
29/7/23 Only the gallery left and then ready for launch. Whew. Looking through my old stuff.. It's pretty good!
29/7/23 Eventually, I want to add javascript and have a lightbox effect in the gallery. But I need to learn js first and for now I just want this live!
29/7/23 Feeling my heart beat. I am an organic machine
28/7/23 Do people really not read terms and conditions? I'll never understand that.
28/7/23 I dislike the way inaccurate autotranslation is used for smaller languages on bigger websites. It makes me afraid that this language use will be adopted by humans who are continuously exposed to it. Soulless language change. It feels like we are eating our own sediment.
28/7/23 I am trying to figure out the design of this website
This is random chatter.
