How cool is that electric-blue throat patch on this Brandt’s Cormorant! Unreal. #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

Redraw of official art #trigun

This is how she always sits on her porch: feet perfectly aligned, hands tucked into her coat

🎨 I never did post the finished version of this, did I? A while back I drew a lineup of our Call of Cthulhu players' investigators (+ Kibble, my favorite NPC disasters.) The cat is an important party member, of course. #KittensDidNothingWrong #OC #TTRPG

Warmup from yesterday #trigun #vashwood

Check out the wings on this great grey owl. They can hear a vole well enough under two feet of snow that they can plunge their feet through and grab it. #owl #owls #birds #canada #nature #wildlife #photography #birding #nikon #greatgreyowl #mcoupephotography

"im right here" i know you are golushi... i believe....

Y'all gonna start acknowledging the parallels yet? Y'all gonna start defending art, intimacy, and sex as basic human expressions? Y'all gonna start realizing that these deranged puritans don't have an ounce of goodwill in their bodies and literally just want to control every aspect of our lives?

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

"tyrannosaurus rex" is kinda one of the craziest called shots of all time if you think about it some dude in 1905 was like 'this was definitely the most badass dinosaur so I will name it as such' and 120 years of research and new discoveries keeps proving him right.

I cannot stress enough that most ppl don't ever even think about calling their reps. I talk to ppl in my fam about it and they go "Huh? What?". But your reps work for YOU. They need to know what you actually care about. When we call in big numbers it ALERTS them, cuz they rarely hear from us.

Flu and Covid are both surging. If you want to stay healthy for the holidays, wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95. A layered approach works best. Get your boosters (if you can!), mask up, clean and ventilate the air and stay home when sick. Masking is community care.

everything is terrible but here are some geese! people love geese, right?

Sex workers have been saying this would happen for literally YEARS. We've been yelling it as loud as we could. What would the world look like if we were actually listened to?

Stunning footage from earlier today, when the new Kilauea eruption covered the USGS Webcam 3, which is situated in the Halemaʻumaʻu crater near the southern rim of the much larger Kilauea caldera. This *isn't* what the people of Pompeii saw. But it's not very far off.

love living under a hays code/comics code authority except it's in some ways worse, because it's not actually codified anywhere and it's enforced opaquely on purpose to avoid accountability at every stage

My experience with Ruffed Grouse is that unlike their “heart attack bird” cousins, the Sharp-tailed Grouse, they just walk around like they own the place (which they do) #birds 🌿

If you're going to make a post praising an incredible news photo, it's a real bad look when you don't include the photographer credit in the post.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Just a reminder that cash works better than food donations. Food donations take up volunteer time to make sure you're not donating something inedible (happens far too often) and also food banks get better discounts so their money can go farther than yours can

anyway. mochi laid upside down and stared at me, purring, until she fell asleep from exhaustion of being such a cutie. how’s that for some news.

this is still the single greatest intro ever made for an animated series, an absolute masterpiece on every level

the President, who is not running for election, still sends out fundraising emails on the daily. this guy does ads saying "we've reached the max we can spend, don't give us more money." remarkable stuff that I think resonates with people who yearn for change and justice

Downy Woodpeckers: what happens when evolution rolls a perfect nat 20 for cuteness

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

It seems someone did not appreciate me leaving the house for my run this morning. Upon my return, was informed no more motion of any kind allowed.
