I went out looking for a Stonechat, but ended up finding a Red-flanked Bluetail instead — guess “Bluetail” works for today’s #BirdOfTheDay #ABCD 😄🪶 なおノビタキもいっぱいいた✌️ #nature #photography #animals #wildlife #Red-flankedBluetail #ルリビタキ #birds #野鳥

Met an exciting goose today. Possibly a Canada Goose/Greylag Goose hybrid.

📣 PSA from your friendly neighbourhood Museum of Homelessness: As a rule, posting pics of people living on the streets or in distress in the streets is not cool. Posting pics like that on socials to increase your reach or engagement is low behaviour. We wish we didn't have to say it. But we do.

At the family history fair in the Burgess Hall in St Ives today. I'll be here till 4pm so do come and say hello

Happy Remony Atremony.

Almost every fantasy novel is like "this whole nation is inhabited by RACE, it is either European (Good) or Mongolian (Evil)

New zoomies disaster unlocked: @lhardingwrites.bsky.social just had to rescue Pippa after she accidentally turned the shower on while climbing the bathroom.

I know this is not generally the kind of post that anthropologists are invited to but I wanted to add: every sci-fi novel in the world with alien intelligent life is like "this whole planet (one biome) is populated by a single 'Culture,' it is driven by a high sense of 'Honor'"

Being reminded once again how much mid body horror ultimately boils down to "What if a person was disabled/disfigured?"

Free Ornamentation IV. This work is dedicated to the public domain 🐌

The flower of stone and the rain dragon

Been looking forward to this one for ages, so help me beat Bluesky's outage and get this infront of as many people as you can!

Pippa really doesn't know what to make of the printer.

Florals, for spring? Groundbreaking. Some past watercolour flowers.

I don’t think we’re prepared for how our world is getting exponentially more dependent on good code every passing day but we have less and less good programmers

House with space for home gym, cat adventure playground that they'll totally ignore, regular trips to the nice tea place.

Cat update: Vesper will now permit touch from me, but ONLY if I hold her weird little head like a sandwich.

Silly little Neoliodidae mite! Hadn't seen one in a few years. Easy to miss, but quite unique when you get a good look at them. That booty 🖤

You do not in fact have to feel bad for a full grown adult that’s an actual monster pushing his monstrous views on impressionable children. bsky.app/profile/lexi...

This season's art book already got 80 submissions out of the 100 available slots! The Asian crew has been mostly missing this season, where are you APAC fellas? Submission form:

Become as unexploitable as you can. I think that's pretty powerful. Any sort of "Be a true ________" message from unhappy, shitty people is always a grift. Gender enforcers like that can't outpace their misery.

One of the cats coughed a hairball up onto my polling card. Is this a dire omen?

Fully almost walked out of today's meeting, still having a slight out of body experience about it.

Meet my newest fabric art creature: Sunflower the Effervescent Ancient Statue. I designed and hand-sewed him. Sunflower is considered quite effervescent and lively, as far as ancient statues are concerned, primarily because he can move. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

look at this weird ass bug

Got no illusions about Peter Maygar but ORBAN YOU'RE OUT HAHA FUCK YOU

My old man yells at cloud moment of the week is catching a bit of the Puss In Boots film on the gym TVs and complaining to my partner about how they absolutely fumbled the kaiju-esque goose rampage sequence. How do you make a gigantic rampaging goose feel that mid.

Here's Why Crying Uncontrollably In Your Car Before and After Work Is Actually Good for Your Productivity: Business Insider

Amia Srinivasan’s “Sex as Pedagogical Failure” should be required reading. Whenever a man in position of authority pursues a subordinate woman, he is changing her trajectory in that space forever. The research on how much even “consensual” affairs hurt the women involved is jaw dropping.

A powerful man sexually pursuing a young woman who works for him is oppressive. It immediately limits and reshapes her future to her detriment, whether she is physically forced into it or not. It’s coercion either way, and that is why it’s so wrong. It’s an abuse of power.

The algorithm somehow knew I spent the afternoon wondering if it was finally time to weed all those Cathy Glass books that somehow spawn in every public library I've every worked at. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Nh...

Co-founder of Graveyard Keeper dev Lazy Bear Games regularly posts AI art & asks for help with AI gen code Going as far as feeding his own games art into the slop machine The game itself is from 2018 so it predates the stuff, but they announced a sequel & I expect it to be full of AI-gen slop

I worked with multiple separate journalists for half a decade to get MINOR coverage of one of the most open-secret predators in medieval studies (extremely niche high profile) bc some of us weren’t victims of physical abuse or direct *enough* harassment and even that wasn’t enough on record

Same camp claiming puberty blockers are too extreme of a change to a developing child would like to know why that child's fertile womb is not being put to use. Gagging is not an extreme enough response for me. My soul is retching.

Another #SaturdayLibrarian shift today and I'm reading up on the General Strike in Cambridge for our display next month. Here it was mostly the railway workers and the building trades on strike, with only those working on council houses at work. About 4,000 men were out across Cambridge.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

Book publishers when they gotta market a book for women vs when they gotta market a book for men.

Tough advice to take, but science suggests it's for the best.

Last night my friend told me about *her* friend, who's in a rat Facebook group and it's being flooded by AI bots that generate images of rats despite having clearly been trained on pictures of dogs. I have now seen a cursed image of a rat with the bodily proportions of a pit bull wearing a hoodie.
