Bailey did his part for democracy. #dogsatpollingstations

The loudest things ever recorded: 3. The Saturn V Rocket Launch 2. The 1883 Krakatoa volcanic eruption 1. An autoplaying Facebook reel

I respect screaming babies on airplanes because they're the only ones providing honest feedback about the overall air travel experience

The moment I saw that leftmost column, I knew this was going to be the easiest bingo of my life 😭

These pretty, day-flying moths (Heliolonche pictipennis), only about 1 cm. long, are one of my favorite desert spring insects. The only flowers they visit (desert dandelion, desert chicory, or scale bud) close up at night; the moths sleep inside them, which is scientifically adorable. #BugSky 🌿🐙🌼

What sane person could live in this world and not be crazy?

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

The individual cannot bargain with the State. The State recognizes no coinage but power: and it issues the coins itself.

hey #portfolioday my name is Yorgos and i make book covers for a living.

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

what a freaking year this week has been

Due to feedback from our testers, we have decided to patch "Happy New Year" to "Acceptable New Year" to avoid disappointment and better match the realities of the market.

Happy New Year ✨️ We hope the upcoming year is kind to you. We are looking forward to actioning some of our ambitious plans to provide security, stability, and opportunity to our community. A look ahead to 2026 for us: 1/

Sleep until spring- 2022

I try to focus on posting about art and comics and not my complaints about the state of everything but GOOD GRIEF

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

"If you wouldn't take advice from someone, don't take criticism from them" has helped me move past a lot of things. It goes hand it hand with the fact that random people can be wrong on the internet and it isn't actually your job to correct them, they can't hurt you.

Wes Streeting is smearing and blaming Doctors for the current NHS crisis, yet he blasted the Tories from opposition for doing the same thing. Some defend Streeting saying he has negotiated with Doctors and sorted out their pay dispute. Here’s what Doctors think about Streeting and his solutions…

Informal research question, trans & non binary people only: If you are currently unemployed or in receipt of state payments like UC or Housing Benefit... what are your current monthly living costs? Like... rent, food, water/gas/electric, council tax, internet, phone. Base essentials. 1/2

Did you know: if you buy the Montgomery Bonbon books as a Christmas present, it's like a double present because I, Alasdair Beckett-King, also get some money? Wow, what a magical time of year!

If, like me, you're as outraged by the clear manipulation of truth regarding the coverage of the Peggie/Upton case, and many other cases in the media, you should complain. TV/Radio - Make a complaint share.google/9Xikdp31WU2Q... Article/News - Make a complaint share.google/9Xikdp31WU2Q...

My dog is a walking jumpscare. Cryptid ass motherfucker 😂

Every Christmas ad in the UK: How do you feel about… Old people? *sad* old people? Babies? Pregnancy! Nostalgia about babies? Children with nostalgia? Um… Talking vegetables? *sad* talking vegetables? Characters from your childhood books? Talking to babies? Nostalgic babies? Uh Um CRY DAMN YOU, CRY!

Gonna start loading up all the Mr Blobby in films I did. One a day. Starting with Mr Blobby in the Matrix.

the more the world pivots towards "AI" and hatred towards skill learning, the more I head straight into analog and constant practice of skills. The world right now, doesnt feel right.

It would appear that French Fancies can operate a touchscreen. I balanced one on my phone in order to carry it to my desk and the cheeky little shit tried to guess my password

Excited to have done some nice delftware pots again

I turned 31 today! I've been an artist all of my life, and I'm so happy with how far I have progressed in my own career. It's been a long journey, but I look forward to another 10 years of creating. I'd love a share if you're feeling generous to boost my reach for a day! ❤️

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?

Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"

August is historically one of my worst months for sales and it is even worse this year. I just put my Fern Fox planters up for preorder. My big Mossback planters are often imitated but you can get the real thing from me in full detail. Sales, shares and tips appreciated. 💜 lnk.bio/verdantsculpts
