I'm always happy to answer questions about anything under the sun. And the moon. And about anything in general.]
today at the park some guy broke his ankle and one of the people said “give him some lettuce” and everyone just stared at him for like 7 seconds until he said “I meant ice”

Aly was kind enough to show me this game http://jayisgames.com/games/the-asylum/ which I then spent several hours on.
You play a psychiatrist who is treating a number of stuffed animals who have gotten some form or psychosis or other after being hurt by their owner.
The stories and animals are sweet and sad, and you can even by their plushies.
Gosh, that was a cute game.

ALBINO VS LEUCISTIC: Get it right, PLEASE!
I’m not an expert, but this is something that I thought was an easy thing to understand. I’ll put this in Layman’s terms, since I’m not very confident when it comes to genetics.
Everything on the left side is albino. On the right, leucistic. What’s the difference? I can understand the confusion, especially when the leucistic animal has high amounts of white or the photo is obscured/blurry, but the surefire way is checking if you can is the eyes. Red/pinkish? Albinism. Light blue, or whatever the animal’s normal color is? Leucism. Albinos lack ALL color pigments, leucistic things just have reduced color.
Also, if it has patches of white, it is not albino. HALF ALBINO IS NEVER A TERM YOU SHOULD USE EVER, PLEASE. IT DOES NOT EXIST. Pied, piebald, etc are terms that can used to describe things that have white patches, but they are just forms of leucism (or chimerisim, but that’s another story).
These piebald fawns are disappointed by your former misuse of these terms.
THIS IS A PET PEEVE POST.
Now see, I’ve never even heard the word “leucistic,” so if I had seen an all-white animal I would have just assumed it was albino.
They’re also close and I applaud their effort, but albinos do not lack all color pigment. Only melanin. It’s why most albino reptiles and amphibians are a mix of white and vibrant, highlighter-like colors. Leucistic animals still have their melanocytes, they merely didn’t descend properly from the neural crest during fetal development.
There’s also hypomelanism. Which can look close to albinism, but cause merely an extreme paleness. Most human “albinos” are actually hypomelanistic, hence their blue eyes and/or pale blonde hair. We just for some reason round up various pigment disorders under one label when dealing with our own species.
