Reminder: Abolish DHS.

Alrighty, so we're going to have some 🐑 &🐉related illustrations for Issue 4, and our artist has sent over some quick sketches for potential options. Only problem, we can't pick! What do you guys think, should we go with option 1, 2, or 3???

No thoughts, only sunbathing

Happy World Bee Day! 🐝 (art: Emily Duffin)

Prairie Whales 16" x 20" Acrylic on canvas This is the first painting I have made of my own backyard. #art #painting #sciart #acrylic

I saw this barred owl yesterday as well, just feet from where the egret was hanging about. I'm not entirely sure what it was doing, I took this photo from directly below so it was essentially laying down on the branch and looking at me. #Scrollback #BirdOfTheDay #Photography #Birds #Owls

A Roman toddler stepped on this clay tile before it was dried around two thousand years ago, and this might be the only proof of the toddler's existence. Original post

Important update, one cat briefly regained consciousness.

Happy Caturday everyone! Hope you can have as relaxing a Saturday as Mr. Wesley and Tiramisu!

In the ocean, humpback whales have surprised scientists with one of the strangest and kindest things seen in nature. When orcas, also known as killer whales, go hunting other sea animals like seals, sea lions, small dolphins, or even baby whales, humpback whales often arrive to stop the attack.

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

Happy #Caturday everyone!!

You fight dandelions all weekend, and late Monday afternoon there they are, pert as all get out, in full and gorgeous bloom, pretty as can be, thriving as only dandelions can in the face of adversity. -Hal Borland

The void, it yearns for the fluff!

This terracotta Etruscan askos is delightfully in the shape of a duck. Various female figures in relief also adorn the piece. An askos was a piece of dining ware that was used to pour small amounts of liquid like oil. Enjoy. 🕰️c.325-275 BC 🏛️📷 BM

Happy Monday everyone! Sometimes I forget that when Tiramisu was a teen she would get so excited she would fall off this tower. She's definitely gotten better about staying on it...

Listen to the first chapter of THE BEST OF ALL POSSIBLE PLANETS audiobook, narrated by Elliot Schiff and LewisBlack ! The book is will be published in July but you can still preorder and receive an advance copy as soon as it is ready. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK9d...

Not to brag or anything... but I had a pretty awesome birthday month!!

What a great concept

Got up early in hopes of catching this photo before work this morning. There's only a few days each year where it's cool enough in the morning to make this shot possible. Thankfully, today was one of those days! #wildlife #birds

Terry Pratchett is a lifelong inspiration to me as an artist and as a person. His writing changed the way I think about humanity, myself, world events, history, power, religion, death, aging, wisdom, magic, libraries, imagination, kindness, and loss. When in doubt- read a Terry Pratchett book.

Every year, I aspire to become more and more like my icon, Granny Weatherwax. “Granny’s implicit belief that everything should get out of her way extended to other witches, very tall trees and, on occasion, mountains.” Happy Sir Terry Pratchett Day! Grateful for the books and the magic, always.

This is your reminder that no matter how tired you are after work, your cat waited all day to see you.

So it's not the 19th, but... Maias panem feci!

The calm before the storm...

Are ducks in the bathtub also acceptable? Similar zoomies apply...

Tiramisu is simply exhausted after helping fold laundry. Had to claim a last bit for herself before it could be put away...

A time lapse of what always happens whenever I try to take pictures of Mr. Wesley. Even the sunbeams arent powerful enough to hold him back!!

With so much awful news, here is something to brighten your day:

The void, Mr. Wesley, is mad that the big bags in the kitchen are food bag shaped, but do not in fact contain food.

Latest commission finished & off to her home. I had freedom to pick any foliage so HAD to go blossoms! Message if you would like to order a custom painting, my rates are pretty cheap at the moment while I’m building business! Thank you 💗 #bird #birds #sciart #watercolour #natureillustration #art

We’ve had sitcom Star Trek (Lower Decks) and horror Star Trek (Red Shirts comic) but the people (me) long for a dedicated murder mystery Star Trek.

Twin Cities locals - my band is playing Padraig's Brewery in northeast on Saturday night. Great venue. Support local businesses. And ... I think we're a pretty good band? www.padraigs.com

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

An unusual statuette from Egypt's Late Period or Ptolemaic era, depicting an elegant #cat feeding her kittens. In this case, she's not a just a cat - she's Bastet, goddess of fertility, and protector of women and children. I love the kitten trying to give mama a kiss. 🐈‍⬛ 🏺 1/ 📸 me #BrooklynMuseum

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

Just in case there is anyone out there feeling smug that we humans are the most intelligent of creatures, I’d like to point out that crows make and use tools. But not weapons.
