It’s now October so we are well into heavy cloak and looming mist season. Plan your ominous forest walks accordingly.

Woo! I finally have internet at the apartment. They had to cut a hole in the wall and drop new fiber and put the new wall jack in. But internet!!

Eh I just ended up getting a cheap borosilicate glass kettle. It’ll do for now

I need a new kettle, but having trouble finding one I like.

Now that I’ve moved the difficulty of getting internet installed begins :/

Well finally got my furniture moved to my new apartment. This one has a gas stove. Not sure how I feel about that never cooked on one before.

Wild.

Woah it’s autumn

I just had my longest job interview... and I don't know what happened but I feel like this:

I’m in DC for the next couple days and riding the metro feels a bit surreal when it has ads like this:

A commission finished a couple of days ago! Meet Finch ♥️ Colored pencils on black paper, A4. #traditionalart #art #bordercollie #drawing #dog

As the leaves on the trees change with the seasons, so do the feathers of the wood-cranes... #fall #autumn #fantasyart #cranes #illustration

My coworkers weren’t impressed my the world tram driver championship. :/ I thought it was neat! www.youtube.com/watch?v=smp0...

US folks, our forests are under threat. You have until the 19th to comment on the Roadless Rule to the USDA: www.regulations.gov/commenton/FS... Find your congress here for comment: www.congress.gov/members/find... And below explains how the roadless rule protects wilderness.

Mini marsupial bounces back from the brink! Once listed as Endangered, the crest-tailed mulgara expanded its range by more than 48,000 km² between 2015 and 2021, lifting its status to Least Concern. Biocontrol contributed to the heartwarming bounce-back. https://f.mtr.cool/afllseseeb

Maybe I should actually try VR stuff

the time of cheap rents saw an explosion of art and culture, and the death of cheap rents led us to the corporate controlled art wasteland we occupy today

- A little bird told me... - Wait. A little bird? What size? - I... what I meant is... - Please, select the size of the bird that told you something:

Just about walked out the back door straight into this. Our back yard is the spot I guess 🦌

Do not disturb: Otterly exhausted

It’s almost the weekend!

Hi folksss... Stuff with my tax situation from my old game job got way worse so Im going ahead and making a gofundme to try and get help from my community. Im super grateful to any help I can get with this in these tough times <3 www.gofundme.com/f/support-wr...

"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.

I've also uploaded a collection of ten A3-size, 600DPI textures I made by letting dust collect over my scanner's bed to my itch store. Again, you can get them for free, but any tips are welcome! lurnoise.itch.io/dust-textures

Buckthorn was the perfect name, a beautiful native berry that can thrive in sub-alpine climate, with fitting color AND a name I can connect to deer 🍂🦌 I wanted to include this adorable doodle by @jzbthx.bsky.social 🧡

We report: the stars came out easy in the night, with no moon to take over the sky. There is no traffic, no headlights to distract our eyes; our expert has brought their red torchlight. Within half an hour, we forget a world that is not the starry sky, and its timeless echoes.

Researchers have filmed thousands of climbing catfish scaling waterfalls, providing a rare insight into the daring migration of an enigmatic fish. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4lDlFux

Someone should make a colossal squid fursuit.

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

A fav old art

Computing for RABBITS?

Abandon streaming. Buy MP3s.

Huh Tom Lehrer invented the Jell-O shot?!

Everyone is celebrating him for his (obviously wonderful) songs but I am also celebrating him for releasing all his works into the public domain and insisting he retained no copyrights over any of it.

We report: on this diluvian day, we obtained a customary twelve minutes break so that we could ensure that the sun still existed. Once these twelve minutes had elapsed, our star dipped into the lowest clouds, and the rain took up once again, a little louder than before.

LOOK AT THOSE BLAISDELLS

Listen guys I NEED to tell you that there are "vagrant lichens" (yes this is the scientific term) that don't live on anything but just sort of blow around like little tumbleweeds and I'm actually outraged that I didn't know about them.

Not Japan-related, but since we all need a distraction from The Horrors, Takaya Suzuki points out a study that examined 408 sleeping cats and found the majority (65%) curl leftwards. I'm not sure how useful this information is, but...it's yours now.
