Did women ruin the workplace?

We only rate dogs. This is spaghetti con salsiccia. Obviously has the noodles and the sausage, but is notably missing sauce. Please only send dogs. Thank you… 13/10 (IG: futrinka_tacsko)

Two runners excavated from the Villa Papyri in Pompeii in 1754. They're from 1st C BCE, and thought to be Roman replicas of lost ancient greek replicas 👍🏛️🍑🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ #MuseumBums

Promoting @pepperraccoon.com because it is nearly the festive part of the year, their range of goodies is very cool, and I am obsessed with the raven pins they sell. I must purchase more as I keep giving them away.

And a flashback to my all-time most famous post that shows up everywhere without crediting me. 🙃

Everyone needs this kind of joy

This is Duncan. He's used to being the biggest dog at the vet. But apparently not today. 14/10 for both (TT: animalimaging)

Gang it is so easy to not get or defend Nazi tattoos

A reminder that I don't just draw maps and abstract, Rorschach-esque art! I also take commissions for specific drawings! Here are a few examples, and then one more on the next post in the thread. If you would like to commission a drawing, here's my website: surprisedeelmaps.com/original-art...

My nature strip this afternoon.

in 20 years, the most extreme, reactionary, "return to tradition" masculinity influencer is going to adopt this uniform and you'll have to calmly explain that this was once considered non-traditional

Friends, it's Friday. You deserve a little treat. An eel history treat. So enjoy this 12th C. image of a medieval hulk. It may be the earliest illustration of one that we have. But ALSO there's a saucy upside-down eel in the water. And that's the important thing! 🗃️🧪

HELLO! My studio is open for visitors today and tomorrow from 10-4! Come and say hey, details here: facebook.com/events/s/ope... If you have a steam deck u can play games w me :3

I have known many cats and I've worshiped them all as the ancient pact requires, but if I'm being honest, my favorites were always the ones where we had to constantly say "She's not mean, that's just her face"

Absolutely 1000% this. Just get up and move!

This is Boksil. She is reaching levels of cozy previously unheard of. 12/10 a trailblazer (IG: with_bokdanji)

"We’re facing a massive public health crisis because a disturbing number of people believe that autism is worse than illness or death. My neurology is the boogeyman behind a completely preventable plague in the making." @fodderfigure.bsky.social, at TPGA: thinkingautismguide.com/2025/03/im-a...

I decided it would be a good idea to compile all my reporting on this topic in one place, so that other people wanting to get a glimpse into this mindset / mentality have a good starting point. You can find that list here. www.linkedin.com/pulse/intern...

This is Millie. She's embarrassed by her new hat. Please help her. 13/10 thanks a bunch (IG: millie.the.boxerr)

This is Annie. She is a dental therapy dog. Her job is to help patients experiencing anxiety by providing emotional support. While dentists go through years of schooling to treat patients Annie is able to lower their blood pressure and reduce anxiety just by being there. 14/10 (TT: funny.bunny9215)

I've written about this a half-dozen times since 2015, because it continues to be relevant that the alt-right originally weaponized irony and memes in order to 1) spread extremism without consequence and 2) cultivate all these semi-ironic violent extremist edgelords foreignpolicy.com/2025/09/15/c...

@cinsensei.bsky.social Hi Cindy, just checking in on you. ❤️

Asked if he minded being run down in PUNCH, Winston Churchill said no, and that politicians must get used to criticism from the press, just as eels are used to being skinned. And...yes. He was wrong about the eels (there's a whole history to that expression). But he wasn't wrong otherwise.

Support independent media, now more than ever. Not just news and politics, but film, TV, fashion and other cultural criticism and commentary, from podcasts to apps to good old-fashioned web sites. Pay for it. Turn your adblocker off so they can keep the lights on. Share it.

And in light of SNWs current direction, this is a perfect time to go and re-watch some classic good Trek. m.imdb.com/title/tt0708...

This sums up the majority of my issues with the last few eps of SNW. It’s getting very un-trek in its politics.

No new pictures, where are you at mentally?

This is Douglas. He just got a new stuffed duck friend and is so excited. Thinks he's gonna call them Ducklas. 12/10 (IG: thatgoldendouglas)

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.
