It goes without saying that I’ve tried these cookies myself, which was both reckless and prudent because I learned that I needed to include a warning with the boxes I’ve been sending to people. While eating them, one sometimes hears ancient voices speaking in alien tongues and notices cats, birds and/or trees casting multiple shadows. However these are merely signs of a strictly temporary lunacy that does eventually pass. All essential rites were observed and incantations uttered by me throughout the preparation process. And what’s a little madness and abject terror if it means I’m able to put a smile (however demented) on the face of a friend? Cthulhu fhtagn — Imgur

This Melville Aubin-designed Sunpark 1930s art deco property in Brixham, Devon is grade II-listed and dates back to 1935, when it was but for a Mr GB Jordain. Amazingly, the property is still the possession of the family now, which perhaps accounts for how well preserved this place is. English Heritage described it as an almost perfectly preserved example of a Modern Movement house
. If you love the style this is (and has been for some time) the dream house. The price has steadily dropped over the years and at £550,000 — via WowHaus

For a while now I have been wanting to find a way to show off my comic book collection in my office. I had done a lot of searching online for comic book picture frames and have been constantly turned off by the price of them. I have always been turned off by the price of photo frames, but that is a rant for another blog post — via Youseph Tanha
This iconic Hydra logo lapel pin can be seen on Johann Schmidt’s hat and black leather overcoat on his Hero SS costume in Captain America: The First Avenger. And this isn’t just based on that pin — it’s actually cast from the screen-used prop. So, get a Hydra Pin today and let everyone know that if they cut off your head, two more will grow in its place… or something like that — ThinkGeek

If you want something a little swinging and a little sixties on your walls, check out this Funky Flora wallpaper by Barbara Hulanicki. Barbara Hulanicki = Biba and this design is said to be heavily influenced by an original Biba print from around 1962 (although we actually had Mary Quant in our heads when we first saw it). There are four variations to choose from, but we think the more colourful lime green, angering and pink show it off best. The rolls are 10m long and 52cm wide, selling for £54. Samples are available too — via Retro To Go

If you remember the film The Rocketeer, there’s a good chance that you wanted a Cirrus X3 Rocket pack. Unfortunately, a working model isn’t availalble (yet), but Steve Radtke of Valor Design made one that could almost convince someone that it could take off. From the pictures, it looks flawless — via MAKE
It is in one of the more affluent suburbs of Melbourne. But even allowing for that, you suspect that this 1930s four-bedroom modernist property in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia is still a stand-out build. The agent doesn’t give much detail about its background. They do, however, refer to it as a modernist landmark
and judging by the photos, it is one that has been well looked after and significantly renovated. We know all of that but we don’t know the price, which is on application. We suspect you’ll need to have more than a little something in the bank to secure it — via WowHaus
These little flying foxes are new arrivals to the Australian Bat Clinic after an extreme heat event separated them from their mothers.
Flying fox colonies are under pressure in Australia due to loss of habitat, a negative public perception and extreme heat events that have wiped out entire colonies. The Australian Bat Clinic and many other wildlife groups in eastern Australia are currently inundated with baby bats that have been rescued following the latest tragedy which saw thousands of bats lose their lives due to the heat.
When a bat mother dies, often their young are still attached and will not survive without the right care. Bat carers play a vital role in not only retrieving suffering bats, but rehabilitating them until they can be released back into the wild. When baby bats first enter rehabilitation it can be traumatising for them as they have just been separated from their mothers to which they have formed strong bonds. Bat carers have to ensure that the baby bats not only are well fed, but that they are nurtured and feel safe in their temporary new home. Providing affection to the bats is a necessity.
The teats represent their mother’s nipple, and this makes them feel more comfortable, as does the security of the blankets which they are often snugly wrapped in.
The bats will remain at the Australian Bat Clinic until they are old enough to be released — via Youtube
