Hi ! It's been a while ! Go post this while I'm sick yay 🤒😷 Here's a little something for an art challenge by @drw_paps (on IG) based on the topic "The lost soul of the warrior" #art #artchallenge #originalart #digitalart #drawingchallenge #fantasyart #conceptart

Open source art software, hands down. The fact that Blender is free blows my mind. Krita, Inkscape, Darktable - I’ve been able to learn so many skills I’d never have learned if I’d had to scale the paywall up front.

Just found an “open-box” Wacom Pro medium for HALF the price of brand new! Absurdly excited!

Happy Caturday 🐾🐾🤍

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

When they tell you who they are, believe them

Worry is unproductive anxiety, a loop of fear without action. It drains energy and fuels stress. Concern, on the other hand, is focused awareness; it identifies problems and seeks solutions. Worry traps you; concern empowers you. Shift from "What if?" to "What can I do?" and turn fear into progress.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

Please Participate If You Can. Kindly Repost! 💙😎

One thing I won't ding members of Congress for: they are not all heroic Hollywood orators ready to drop a Sorkin monologue at the drop of a hat while the orchestra swells to a cinematic climax. Cut them some slack for on-camera performance, they're mostly a bunch of awkward nerds and that's fine.

Good morning be the change be the light eat some chocolate 🔥

This is Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll. Last Friday he refused Justice Department order to identify & assist in firing all agents involved in Jan. 6 riot cases, He is said to have pushed back forcefully. Thank you Brian Driscoll!🇺🇸

Any significant level of fear throws rational thinking right out the window. The things we'll say and do when scared...will be things we look back on later and think, "What the f*ck was I thinking/doing?!?!" Do everything possible to reduce your level of fear.

Are you funded by #NIH, #NSF or #CDC? Please post any letters or communications you’ve received from these agencies or HHS about restrictions on grant funding, publications etc. I want to catalog all of them for the record. #medsky #episky

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives. Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library! Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.

Given all these critical webpages are being taken down, this might be a good time to familiarize yourself with the Wayback Machine on Internet Archive. It can pull up pages that are no longer active: web.archive.org

V838. Each color shows the passage of time. As the bright flash of light left the star, it illuminated the dust surrounding it, but because space is so big, we actually see the light travelling and illuminating the dust as it goes along. By Judy Schmidt. www.flickr.com/photos/geckz... 🔭 🧪

Hi Gus 😊

I guess I’m only shopping at Costco now, which is fine. I needed a 300-pack of Twizzlers anyway.

y'know, after this dreadful news week, I am really really glad for custom feeds on this app. It's really nice to be able to swipe away from the politics news and just look at astronomy things or bird pics.

20’s: what even is a hangover? 40’s: puts on sunglasses to open fridge

Here are some nice mushrooms

I think of it as similar to musicians covering each other’s songs. Done out of respect and admiration, it’s a lovely tribute. And when they vary the key or tempo or genre, it’s an interesting illustration of how different people experience the same art.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

The crazy thing about all the companies rolling back #DEI programs is that it hurts *them*. If you pick the best candidates out of a bigger pool of candidates, you get better candidates. That’s not politics, that’s MATH.

When you see ICE, RUN!! Be a distraction. Let them waste time chasing you, so your neighbors can get away.

Tom Morello was right. And now, we are living in the bonafide Rage Against the Machine era. It is time to organize. Our government is not failing us, it is actively trying to destroy us. #ResistForRealThisTIme

It’s easy to feel helpless right now, but remember we have tremendous capacity to help one another Small acts of kindness like wearing a respirator, checking on someone who might be all alone, making a meal for someone in need, donating to mutual aid….These things have a huge impact Love over hate
