I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

"the world is so scary nowadays I'm so scared for the future of-" WELL my friends made a video game where you can turn into a piece of toast tho, hope that helps

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

Lexi is a solid litmus test for how pro-genocidal a platform is and it seems @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app really wants us to know that they love genocide and hate protest against genocide.

Quick pic I drew of a stupid moment in D&D, of a dwarf using a dying goblin as an umbrella to avoid acid drips from the ceiling.

Israel illegally boarded a humanitarian mission in international waters with heavy weaponry, then disappeared the crew. Al Jazeera is the only one I can find that is reporting on this without Israeli fluff or propaganda. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

New hobby: I'm getting these scam calls about "suspicious activity on my ID card". When they ask me for my name, I tell it to them very very slowly, letter by letter, repeatedly getting lost and restarting. This morning, I got partway through spelling "Johannes Krähenberger" when they hung up on me.
