HI DO YOU HAVE ANY SPARE PHOTONS

The dodo 🦤 “temple of the lost” 2011. We still have animal species that we know nothing about on earth. Yet we will be sure to use and abuse and wipe them out as well.

Me when some drugged up crybaby billionaire thinks not responding to a single mass email is cause for removal. 🪶

Lol. I missed that the author of NIST 800-63 Appendix A had formally apologized for his sins

“So fucking dumb,” says one air traffic controller. Here's how that DOGE email is roiling federal workers, who can't get answers from leadership because they apparently had no idea it was coming: www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

Lantern flies use their long snout like a straw to suck up tree sap! I really like the variety of color these insects have, it makes some super fun to paint.

Any raptor rehabbers on BS? We have received 2, 1 COHA and 1 RSHA, both with brood patches. It’s fully 2 months early for laying here…anyone else seeing this? #wildliferehab #birds #wildliferescue #falconry

If you see this, share a skeleton #Art #DarkArt #Skeleton

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at [email protected].

This is an article that prefigures very accurately what we will be reading about American (and American based) scientists in about ten months. The collapse of the top scientific research network in the world. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

The SAVE Act is specifically designed to disenfranchise a ton of American women. Let us recall how many of the techbros now infiltrating the American government, like Peter Thiel, believe that women shouldn’t be allowed to vote.

The MAGAs are really, really blatantly firing a ton of women in the federal government and military for the crime of being women, and it is embarrassing when people ignore or downplay this.

This is part of a Sooty Tern breeding colony. Approximately 700,000 pairs nest on this small island in the Seychelles. Laying begins in June (directly onto the ground), with incubation taking 28-30 days and then 60 days before the chicks can fly #birds #photography #widelife #Seychelles #seabirds

I can't stop thinking about her... #anglerfish

Seeing an absolutely depressing yet massive influx of A.I./traced A.I. in horror art & media all over the place recently - with the beyond absurd argument of "It's fair to use to create horrors no human could come up with". Coming up with monsters used to be the dream job, what are we doing here.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

pictures I painted at 3 am 3/4 „Procession“

It’s not hyperbole to say that American science is being destroyed before our eyes.

We need to fight for trans people

Another for #Abandoned #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyArtShow #Photography and it is interesting to look at other pictures of this wreck taken over the last few years and seeing the gradual decay. #PointReyesShipWrecks

Growing up in the early 1990s, the ozone hole was a big environmental problem we all learned about. The world took action and the problem is receding. See also, US air and water pollution pre-EPA. Climate change is obviously a much harder problem to solve. But we can. And we must.

Special Rota post: crab edition. Almost every intact shell on the beach is a home for a little guy. 🦀

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now. So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof! 1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing. 2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.

Around Oaks Bottom, with a bird mural necropolis, remains of a dangerous... jetty... and a nice view of the gloom. It was a gloriously gloomy day.

SQUISH. Thinking about this drawing of a Giraffatitan squishing some hateful person which I drew in 2012, apparently premonitively. Or perhaps it was just that certain besuited types have always been objectionable.

If Luigi walks because of David Zaslav and Eric Adams I will laugh so hard I will probably have a stroke and die.

2017-2025, same mountains, slightly different angle. I still love the color saturation on the older piece, but I'm loving the direction things are going in

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”

Before I head back to Rota, I will be on Saipan for a few days. Canario here (Golden White-eye) is an endangered species found only on Saipan and Aguijan, though it probably was also on Tinian and Rota in the past. Their thrush-like habits and songs are very unlike most other white-eyes. 🎨🪶🐡🌏

超ヤマガラの日! (前に初めてiPadで描いたやつです) #birds #Yamagara_Day #SUPER_Yamagara_Day

Ahahaha i haven't seen this in ages. It's SO GOOD! I just love the sitcom-title-sequence parody

Toni reminds us that we each hold the power to heal by doing THE work. This weekend we're committed to: - taking our dogs for a walk - checking on 2+ fed friends - making a batch of veggie soup - calling our senators re the budget (& Medicaid's risk) What about you? Share your intentions. Goodnight.

It's #FanartFriday! Someone in the #LordHuron discord/tumblr community jokingly encouraged me to draw one character 20 times in a year so of course I picked Johnnie. I've done six so far! These are all meant to be very quick (~1 hour). Here's the first two 🎨

February 22. Today is "Super YAMAGARA Day" in Japan. 😚 This is because the cry of the varied tit sounds like the Japanese pronunciation of “2-2”: “nie-nie”. #birds 🪶

Showing up to a town hall and registering your disgust with DOGE is the best thing you can do right now.

Respectfully submitted for your approval for #fishyfeb and #Deepsea: an oil painting 8” Sq. on Gessoboard of a Nautilus, my favorite Mollusk. The second is an Oil Painting 8” Sq. on Linen Panel of Sargent Majors. Reef Snorkeling 🤿 is so much fun with my wife and fishy friends. 😃 #artyear

The Supreme Court, in its first ruling on President Trump’s use of executive power during his second term, decided that he cannot, for now, dismiss the government lawyer leading the watchdog agency responsible for protecting whistle-blowers.
