#Warmth, for #BlueSkyArtShow #🌊

It does feel like a huge trend of the last few years has just been "everyone's standards get lowered, whether they want it or not" which is, you know, not my favourite trend lol

The irony is rich.

🤣 The deep sea ID guide I've made for myself is only slightly more detailed than this

Cal Lane, Canadian trained welder and metal artist, transforms common tools and also industrial steel products into intricate sculptures #WomensArt

Meet the Feather Stalkball (Onygena corvina): a tiny cluster of fungi that grows on feathers and bones (possibly an owl pellet in this case, according to the observer). 📷 phyllisma on iNaturalist 📍 Switzerland 🔗: www.inaturalist.org/observations... #ObservationOfTheDay

Share a smile. California Tiger Salamander. #herps

Physarum bivalve. Fir and Pond Wood. A myxomycete. I haven’t seen this before but was struck by its shape and pattern.

The highlight of today's walk was finding my first female Vapourer moth, sitting on her cocoon, presumably newly emerged. Ominously, there were tiny parasitic wasps hanging around, presumably waiting to inject her eggs. And, very close by, another cocoon, this one covered in eggs. #TeamMoth

BREAKING A federal judge has dismissed the charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York State Attorney General Tish James WITHOUT prejudice.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

first fur, woolly bears then orange coats, tiger moths just missing lions Happy #HaikuSaturday! (I have The Wizard of Oz in my brain/heart after watching Wicked For Good last night 😅) #metamorphosis

Now we're well past the event, gonna share this birthday card I made for my niece. It's a card and a dotcard/mini-paint set! (Didn't know if it was gonna work, verr relieved that it does 😁)

Impossible how good reading is. You mean I just point my face at the paper for a bit and it does a whole update on my brain?

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand” Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

haha this ME. I became a gardener/landscaper mostly because of my love of plants...and the fact that I had run out of space. Now I get to indulge for others!

Excited to see Dendrocollybia racemosa in the Oakland Hills this week. This mushroom hedges it’s reproductive bet by making sexual spores in the gills of the cap and asexual spores on the branches on the stem. It parasitizes Russulaceae fungi and is having a very good year #mushrooms #Oakland #fungi

Participating in Fall of Freedom is one way artist Kris Grey has chosen to respond to the rise of authoritarianism. “A core ethos of the project,” Grey writes, “is the belief that creativity, in and of itself, is a practice of resistance.”

Man, everything is so bleak, anyone got a fun fact or little bit of trivia they want to share

Die Tage des Gastgebers — Dennis Scholl, 2022

The end result of hours of fiddling and cleaning heads, pinch rollers, potentiometers, replacing dead transistors. The sound is incredible. Hope Bluesky doesn't garble up the audio with compression.

My most woke opinion is that the whole point of society is to collectively help each other. My taxes should be going towards housing and feeding everyone. No one should be without food or shelter. Rich people should be contributing more towards this. It shouldn't even be controversial!

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market. Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

A woman walked by me when I was taking a photo. She turned around, came to stand by me, and said "Oh, it is beautiful, isn't it?". She then went on. #NaturalHistory #USPrairie #Conservation #Restoration #Appreciation prairieecologist.com/2025/11/19/p...

There are definitely some hostile looking mushrooms in the world. 🍄📷

ABSOLUTE BEAST of a Hypomyces lactifluorum! This parasitic (on Russula or Lactarius) Lobster Mushroom was bigger than my head! Special thank you to MSSF, JDSF and the Mendocino Woodlands for the opportunity to learn more about our fungal world. #FungiFriends #lobster #fungi

Rafflesia hasseltii: a plant seen more by tigers than people. Watching this flower open by night was the closest thing to magic:

WE FOUND IT! We trekked day and night through tiger-patrolled Sumatran rainforests accessible only under permit for this: Rafflesia hasseltii. Few people have ever seen this flower, and we watched it open by night. Magic.

are you also as sick of seeing AI generated posters/flyers/etc in public as I am? I made some Big stickers about it and will be selling packs of them at future shows 🫶
