Why leather armor for a rabbit? Well, a rabbit's key ability is dexterity. Although mail and plate armor may raise a rabbit's armor class, it can also induce a dexterity penalty and cause encumbrance problems if your dungeon master is a stickler for those rules.
So it's best to keep to leather armor or magical armor options for when you must take your rabbit adventuring. Etsy seller The King's Shilling can properly equip you and your furry pal.

Cosplayer Christopher Lavallee, a less famous Tony Stark, built this combat suit inspired by the Doctor's cybernetic foes, the Cybermen. Lavallee properly calls himself a "foamsmith" due to his mastery of foam cutting and molding.
Step 2 involves eating a dozen donuts (well, in my version), because you'll need to empty the Krispy Kreme box of its contents.
Andy Clockwise, though, is more straightforward and simply assumes that you have an empty Krispy Kreme box. Follow his simple instructions to make a sweet-smelling face shield.

Don't think of your face mask as a burden. It's an opportunity! Twitter user Ingenuous Firebrand proposes sewing on a pocket and using the mask for more everyday carry gear.
I suggest making the mask from heavy canvas to make sure that it doesn't sag too much from the extra weight you store in the pocket.

While browsing Instagram, I was struck by the henna designs of dr.azra. Her amazing work makes use of and then breaks through traditional forms. Waves and forms sweep over and through her hands.
He might look something like this, according to New Yorker cartoonist Madeline Horwath. A cute little fella and mostly human. Not to be specist or anything. Some of my best friends are humans.
Content warning about Horwath's main Instagram page: porn.

Chavis Flagg gets your attention by rolling through Atlanta on his motorized unicycle, all without skipping a single beat. He keeps your attention by being a great musician. If you see him at night, you may also be treated to a mobile light show.
Flagg earns his living through busking. Hopefully, his new album can take him further. CNN describes his work:
Flagg's impromptu performances aboard a Onewheel electric skateboard have helped double the 24-year-old musician's social media following over the past two weeks and earn him some money during a time when live venues have closed around the city, he told CNN.
On Saturday, from about 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. ET, Flagg earned roughly $300 in tips from people stopping to thank him for his music and to request songs. Since he started playing along the Beltline roughly two weeks ago, he's performed music by Prince, Jimmy Hendrix and Pop Smoke. Flagg's equipment includes a small amplifier and two JBL speakers attached to the Onewheel.

What if someone you know and trust, perhaps all of your life, is secretly a cake? What if you are a cake and don't even know it? What if the universe is a cake that is about to be sliced open?
This compilation video of amazing creations by Red Rose Cake and Tuba Geçkil, a team of sorcerers in Turkey, will make you question reality. Will you eat the red cake or the blue cake?

A speed camera in Italy awarded a driver with a $960 prize for taking her Ford Focus up to 437 miles per hour, or approximately 10 times the maximum speed of that vehicle. Alas, she was to be disappointed, as it was a computer glitch which caused the reading. Fox News reports:
The Autoappassionati report said local police failed to double-check the camera’s findings before mailing the woman a ticket – which placed 10 points on her license and carried a fine of 850 euros, or just under $1,000.
Giovanni Strologo, a transportation spokesman for the community of Offagna, in Ancona province, where the incident happened, advised the driver to appeal to the local government for compensation, according to the report.
In a Facebook post, he noted that police should have checked the details before sending the driver a ticket and joked that “even with a missile” the car could not possibly reach speeds that high.

Irina Guicciardini Strozzi is the great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great granddaughter of Lisa de Giocondo, the original model for Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa.

ViralHog introduces us to one gentlemen's beautiful quarantine crafting project: a completely functional and smooth-sipping fountain made of whiskey bottles. He writes:
In the video, I am videoing a Jack Daniels waterfall feature that I made from scratch with everything recycled apart from the pump inside! It's amazing what you can do when stuck in lockdown.
It's beautiful and, when fully filled, helpful at parties.

Need to stay cool this summer? I'm a fan of Nicole McLaughlin's product idea. Her functional fan bra is adjustable so that you can tilt the rotors directly at your face.
If you're not in a hot climate, then you might prefer McLaughlin's croissant bra, juicebox bra, cleaning wipes bra, or her sandwich bra.
Japanese pastry chef Koki Kato layered cream, fruit, and mille-feuille cake inside hollowed-out melons, pineapples, and oranges. They're supposed to tantalize all five senses as you slice one open. These culinary marvels will overpower you with delight as you contemplate wondrously how Kato grew melons with cakes inside. You can see more photos at Sora News 24.
