🐶 Taking a photo with your pet? Not a modern concept! 🐾 Today's #OnlineArtExchange theme is 'animals', so here's a selection of three paintings from our collection with the most adorable dogs! #UlsterMuseum #Art #Portraiture #Dogs #Puppies @artukdotorg.bsky.social

Hello! I am Nathan, a disabled traditional artist from Brazil I have 12 (soon to be 13??) kitties and 2 dogs and love drawing critters of all kinds! I work with a variety of styles and mediums! thecatfortress.carrd.co

I can’t stop thinking about these

Here's a Youtube link of Violet Affleck's full speech about COVID and clean air at the United Nations:

In honour of #FatBearWeek.

Highly recommend following journalist Olga Nesterova @onestpress.onestnetwork.com for her comprehensive, thoughtful, multifaceted news coverage. She is a powerhouse. Her current UN coverage is excellent; as a former UN diplomat, she brings insights & behind the scenes info not found elsewhere.

Masking up and advocating for clean air at #UNGA w/ Violet Affleck and @myrabatchelder.bsky.social!

🍂 All I am saying is that there is a flash sale going on in my shop right now....🍂

His Majesty. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1907.

Celebrating the awesome Violet Affleck, speaking at the UN, advocating for clean air & masking—while wearing a high quality respirator… Followed by fantastic images of Zohran Mamdani & Brad Lander attending Rosh Hashanna services at Kolot Chayeinu synagogue, where EVERYONE was masking! ❤️😷❤️

How fucking cool is this @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at Rosh Hashanna services and EVERYONE WAS MASKING! Kolot Chayeinu was one of the first synagogues to call for ceasefire. “The rabbi spoke extensively about the war in Gaza, calling Israel’s campaign a genocide.”

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

I’m furious that it so difficult to figure out who is stocking Novavax.

Happy Autumn 🍂

Same…

Jane’s a work of art this #catboxsunday #catsofbluesky #catsky #gato

The world is too utterly depressing, so I think I’m just gonna keep focusing on cat photos. Like…what is happening in this one? I’m not sure, but it is delightful.

What a gorgeous shot! Like a fine art painting. Plus, such a stunning model!

#Caturday morning was spent lounging on the couch in the cool morning air with my little buddy, browsing cookbooks for something sweet. We made molasses cookies and they’re just right. #iPhonePhotography #Food #Foodies #CatsOfBlueSky #EastCoastKin

Is that you, Fall?

“Just we two” Postcard from my collection. Copyright 1907, mailed 1909. This is by C.E. Bullard, my favorite of the Victorian/Edwardian cat photographers. He seemed to genuinely love cats and didn't restrain them or cram them into tiny costumes.

Hope is punk rock. Science is underground. Positivity is counterculture. Kindness is rebellion. Empathy is radical. Love is subversive. Compassion is defiance. Humanity is resistance. Fighting back does not take grand gestures, but small moments. So let your small moments be a revolution.

Here is my first white-lined sphinx moth this year. They are sometimes called hummingbird moths because of their size and flying behavior. I found this one right where the #hummingbirds were feeding :)

These beauties are starting to plump up to prepare for their winter slumber. #wildlife #bears

The nicest thing about bluesky is just having a core group of people where you like each other's posts and repost for each other and drop little comments now and then and basically just serve as a reminder that someone has an interest in you. A small connection with a wider world that is important💜
