Hello! I am making a genetic cat picrew and i wonder if there's any guides on different white patches or tortoiseshell patterns. I am planning to do different types of tortoiseshell and white patches so I'm wondering-
Oh this is very fun…
Here’s a selection of diagrams demonstrating typical white distribution patterns and the classifications or nicknames which may be used to describe them.
Note that terms like harlequin, van and so forth are moreso used by registeries to describe phenotype. When it comes to genotype your basic white spotting is going to be…
No white (ww, wwg)
White gloving (wgwg)
Below 50% white (Wsw, Wswg)
Above 50% white (WsWs)
Dominant White (Wdw, Wdwg, WdWs, WdWd)
The possibilities are pretty much endless so have fun with it, especially when you get down to the little random markings. Here are the white pattern tags for the blog that you can peruse for inspiration:
bicolor white
harlequin white
van white
other white
mitted white
I don’t have as many visual resources for tortoiseshell but here’s a diagram @amber-tortoiseshell made illustrating the effect white spotting has on the standard tortoiseshell distribution.
The less white there is the more mottled the appearance, the colors sporadic and mixed in a manner than can be described as brindled. As white is added these patches increase in size and definition until they become distinct blotches.
The split face is a common tortoiseshell marking. The face, paws and tail also tend to sport larger and more distinctive patches of color even if the rest of the body is pretty well brindled.
Here are the tortoiseshell tags for the blog that you can peruse for inspiration:
black tortoiseshell
blue tortoiseshell
chocolate tortoiseshell
lilac tortoiseshell
cinnamon tortoiseshell
fawn tortoiseshell
I’d love to see it when you’re finished! Let me know if you have any more questions!

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.
Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.
Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.
Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.
Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.
Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.
"Trans men and women are both suffering" and "trans women are often specifically targeted by bigotry and harassment even within their own communities and deserve to be able to talk about their own unique challenges without being talked over" and "trans men are often erased from conversations about how bigotry and transphobia targets them and are not exempt from all the horribly draconian laws transphobes are attempting to pass" and "being trans doesn't make you immune to participating in horrible transmisogyny even and especially if you aren't aware you're doing it" and "holy shit don't reinvent bioessentialism but for trans people like holy fuck men are not destined to be evil and women aren't automatically incapable of harm" are all opinions that can and fucking SHOULD coexist

ok at this point I'm mildly curious so i wanna ask
Pigeons are actually pretty, imo. Yeah even the grey ones you see around the bus stop. The "sky rats". They are just common (in many places at least i guess) so we don't really care, but... A big variety of spotted patern? Some of them legit remind me of seashells? Some of them are dark grey, light grey, white, and sometimes even brown ? They have green and violet shiny necks? (my favorite are the white and brown ones with mainly violet necks and a bit of green) Red legs? Kind of cute actually? You do you but i think pigeons are cool actually!
Post was unrebloggable so i went back to the tweets because this is important
I found a guide for a no tape, easy to unwrap wrapping tutorial to make Christmas a little more accessible, wish I just found it sooner
