Ghost shark, carnivorous sponge among 1,000+ newly discovered marine species

Agreed. Ban this bullshit.

I'm with @nerd4cities.bsky.social — get rid of the BQE. This video makes a convincing case.

random before bed thought: I am so far removed from a car-dependent lifestyle I actually cannot imagine returning to one. Driving fucking sucks. If I was forced to move to a car-dependent hellhole I'd actually throw myself into a lake with bricks on my feet. I do not understand how others do it.

incredible stuff, no notes 🪶

pov: you're making history. you're working with the most advanced technology in the world. outlook still doesn't fucking work.

we love multi-modal transit

This thief stole a piece of cheese from my breakfast burrito while I made my coffee. Watch out for them in Hill Country! 🪶

I'm told that today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying So here's a Red-shouldered Hawk with a meal. 🪶

Graaaaaaack #birds

On my commute route lined with temples, I spotted a pair of Japanese tits. The male was singing while perched on a television antenna, while the female had gone into the temple garden to collect moss for building a nest. 日本のシジュウカラたちも巣作りを始めてますねえ(*´-`) #BirdArt

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #WingsOpenNotFlying, birds with wings open on the Floor/Water but not flying, the Alt theme is #Black&White, birds with black & white feathers. 🪶 Guess I got both with this immature Ring-billed Gull?

I hope you have a stellar day ✨️ #stellarsjay #corvid #bird #digitalart #digitalillustration

Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees? Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey. The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

Busy weekend 🪶

Hold On Tight

What’s this? Another new art piece? Lonely Vigil - I’ve had this bouncing around my head since I got back from Minnesota in November. Finally got it done. #art

#EmotionalSupportSpood The first Brown Creeper I ever found, and I fell in love 🤎 (Attidops cinctipes)

If you are wondering what words the all-male Congress found so "blasphemous" that they felt compelled to literally scrape them off the monument, they were: ''Woman, first denied a soul, then called mindless, now arisen, declared herself an entity to be reckoned.''

From my 2019 Month of Love series, a male American Kestrel offers a dragonfly as a courtship gift to a female. This Valentine's Day, make sure to let your valentine know they're loved by giving them the biggest bug you can find. 🪶🎨🐡

Artists, quote with something silly!

I guess today's #birdoftheday is #everydaybirds or #commonbirds? Not sure how or where the bird of the day theme originates... But I'll share my favorite common bird: The American Robin! They're supposedly harbingers of spring but they often stay put year-round, forming huge flocks in the winter.

It was a slightly warmer morning, but this sparrow kept its fluffy feathers — and stayed irresistibly cute ❤️ Sharing this for today’s #BirdOfTheDay Alt theme, #EverydayBirds 🪶 #モフ曜日 は定番となりつつある丸いスズメ😊 #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #EurasianTreeSparrow #スズメ #birds #野鳥

A female Hooded Merganser communicating a message to a male Hooded Merganser. I think she wanted to go for a walk, because soon after this they were strolling along the icy shoreline together.

Ominous bird valentines.

Scrub jay close-up for #BirdOfTheDay alt theme of #Blue. 📷🌿🪶🥜

Ima go Mountain Bluebird for the #blue theme of #birdoftheday picked by @robcrank68.bsky.social He knows he's pretty! He's like the blue version of that particular shade of fuchsia that makes your camera sensor freak out 😂 #birds #becurious 🪶

#WaterBirds is the #BirdoftheDay theme, with #Blue as the alt, so a Great Blue Heron works perfectly - with the blue breeding colouring around the eye as pointed out by @betsycooley.bsky.social and @everyheron.bsky.social on my close-up of the same Heron yesterday. #Birds 🪶 #EastCoastKin #Nature

Today's #birdoftheday them is #blue? Well good thing I have many blue jays to photograph right outside my window 🩵

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #OddCouples - two different birds in one capture Was heading out for a hawk and glanced up and saw an aerial dance between a red-tailed hawk and a crow. (of course it's not a nice dance—The crow was harrying the hawk to get it to leave!)

A Black and White Owl! I definitely wasn’t expecting to see an owl in the limited time I had in Costa Rica 🤩🤯 #birds #owls #CostaRica

Beep had some big opinions today 🐥🎶

Continuing with the American birds theme, one bird I really like to paint is the cardinal. This is the 3rd cardinal painting I've done and my favourite of the three. #watercolours #birdart 🪶

Probably my favorite little visitor to the suet feeders, a teeny tiny Ruby-crowned Kinglet! #birds

chicago would be so pretty if the drive was turned into a transitway/linear park

If a door gets left open here for any length of time it summons the elusive but impressive garage peacock.
