In Houston, a council member warns that ICE agents have been “waiting in hallways” of immigration courts to arrest people when their cases were dismissed.

Which dragon from Middle-earth is your favorite? 🐲 Do you think they could take on a Balrog or even Sauron himself? 🔥 Seriously, give me your honest take. 👇

Oh my, this mixed media fiber art piece by @stonkers.bsky.social is stunning!

If nothing else, I think the Steam Deck has been a net positive because having a fixed spec that can't be dismissed by insisting a two-year-old GPU is obsolete AND a formal process for claiming compliance with that target is demonstrably encouraging publishers to let developers optimise their shit.

If you’re in uniform and feeling wrong about the orders — there are people who’ve got your back. Pass it on.

"A critical look at how queer art is celebrated—and commodified—during Pride Month, and why true visibility demands more than a seasonal spotlight." Excellent read from The Bureau of Queer Art. #queerart #queersky #pride

I’m loving the backdrop this ciliate has chosen for its debut! A glorious golden Trieres sp. diatom goes perfectly with the transparent vibe with the cilia trim. 🦑 #plankton

Today’s best blep unsurprisingly came from a harbor seal 🦑🦊🌿

Que tal, Skylings? Here´s a nice peacock mantis shrimp (Odontodactylus scyllarus) for my UW pic of today. It comes from Gato Island, Philippines, 2013. 🦑 🌊 🦀 #UnderwaterPhotography #Nature #Invertebrates

The only photo I have from a ROV Lu'kai divestream many years back. The watch lead forgot to take his mic off & went to pee so we got sound effects during the dive. One of my fave moments 🤣 Anywho, that's a sea cucumber filmed somewhere near Hawaii. #MarineLife

A pattern for this polonaise will be appearing in my upcoming book on eighteenth-century women's dress! It was a treat to visit the Costume Institute to do the work, and I'm so grateful to Marci for putting up with the million measurements I needed. 🗃️🪡

♥️ Extraordinary details of Gabriel's robe in Jan van Eyck's The Annunciation, c. 1434/1436. This iconic masterpiece is a triumph of early Northern #Renaissance painting & storytelling. A candidate for our Renaissance Masterpieces Series! 🎬 ideasroadshow.com/renaissance-... 🗃️ #arthistory #art

Footwear Friday! These mid-19thc silk slippers at the Fenimore Art Museum were made by Viault-Esté in Paris and sold by Thierry & Sons in Regent Street, London. As they show little sign of wear, it's possible that they were intended for a single special event, or went with one particular dress. 🗃️🪡

An aquatic reptile for this Thursday, I present to you the Ichthyosaurus! Notable for having unusually large eyes for its time, they also gave live birth allowing them to live full lives underwater. They also had a bunch of tiny sharp teeth…. #sciart #paleoart #Ichthyosaur

New blog on #wildflower #families out: lizzieharper.co.uk/2025/06/wild... This one is on the varied (& recently re-jigged) #plantain family, #plantaginaceae. With my #botanicalillustrations, it discusses common features of flowers as diverse as foxgloves, speedwell, & plantains. One of a series.

Wassup, folks? I've been working (WIP) on this corridor in a circular hotel in space. It's doing my head in. Think I have artists' block. Not sure where to take this. What do you think? #blender #sciart #spaceart #3danimation

How are we in June already? I’ve been busy and missed sharing that Lilac Frenzy was selected to the American Women Artists Online Juried Show. I didn’t get accepted into the museum shown this year, so it made this extra special. #art 🐡 #floralart #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlias #bitanicalart
