Gentleman rabbit [ #art | #oc ]

Enter the new year like a long-eared rabbit emerging through a curtain of tall grass to face the stars 🌌

Semiotic paradox alert!

there are 2 ai wolves inside of bluesky: the slop-hobbyist who never had the patience to draw a straight line & is now happy with the deception that they are "a creative" and the snake-oil salesman hoping to generate income from it. anyone else is a student plagiarizing an essay.

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

QRP with your wing art!

Show me what you can do with just a pen! ✍️😎

My last space photo of the year, a revisit of my first ever target from last December, the Orion Nebula (and the Running Man Nebula directly above it). Nearly 2000 10-second exposures, manually stacked and post-processed in 3 different programs. I'm so pleased with how it turned out :) 🌌

This video was eye opening - youtu.be/jHP942Livy0?... TL;DR the brand doesn't matter much - it's how you use it

These two images of Chinese train driver Han Junjia were taken less than 30 years apart. Transformative change is possible when it is relentlessly pursued.

For years when we were all young in our careers we'd come in every work day in this gap and drink wine, play cards, and watch movies together. We called it The Interregnum, because anyone with any authority was dead to work for those days.

Most do not know but a number of years ago I built a small reading house out of shipping palettes up at the top of my garden in my backyard. It is big enough for one person with a chair and small table and is under the shade of the maples. I am half temped tonight to dream up a writing retreat to

Ok

Welcome back, artists! Quote post with an old piece that you still like!

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

Welcome to SURREAL WEEK, where calories don't count, drinking is governed by airport rules, no one cares how you're dressed, and marathoning old movies is the norm. You have until January 5th when doing absolutely fucking nothing becomes embarrassing again. Do nothing with it wisely.

Stay 🪑 #art #illustration

The Broncos v Chiefs score being 6-7 has been utter chaos in my household for straight fifteen minutes.

Happy Christmas everyone, just remember, you'll get to stage 4 soon enough

For your holiday ambiance, I've made a hypnotic yule log fireplace with ultra slow motion macro footage of flames stretching & warping like liquid as fire reacts with calcium chloride & barium. This is real fire I filmed, not CGI or AI. 10hrs, 4K, crackling sounds, no music, no ads. Happy holidays!

SO pretty.

Our officials need to listen to experts like Jackie, who can clearly explain how the proliferation of hyperscale data centers is built on debt, how they're unsustainable, and what it means to her as a Marana resident who wants continue living here. From the Marana Planning Commission meeting 12/10

Tech bros out here drinking the blood of the young when Michelle Obama could have shown them all they really needed was a good resistance workout, ample melanin and to not be the kind of person who drinks the blood of the young.

Christmas is hard for many. The years roll, the ghosts at the table increase. We’re haunted by the absence of voices, of laughter engines who drank and ate with us. This can be day of remembrance rituals. For what it’s worth, Hooklanders near and far are in my candles today. Be gentle on yourselves.

This is the most festive fish we could find to wish you a very merry #Fishmas from all of us at BHL. 🐟✨ Meet the Lena-Girawah, a spectacular parrotfish from Ceylon described in 1834 as “the most splendid of the class of fishes denominated Parrot”. www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/38892308 #SciArt 🧪

Hello, new Blueskyers! My name's Chris, I live in a small mining town in western Kentucky, and I post a lot of drawings of historical, literary, and (especially holiday-related) folklore figures, often with mini-essays to introduce folks to them. Looking forward to meeting y'all!

props to this christmas lad I’ve just spotted on @flightradar24.com

Hi… you have no obligation to stay around people that make you feel bad

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Sunset Hills taking their festive balls on the road.

Worn #onthisday in 1929 by a member of the Monro family. The ivory satin "Christmas Cake" costume trimmed with ribbon, paper frills, and figures of Santa Claus, robins, and holly sprigs has a hooped skirt and a matching satin beret, a cake board, and a knife. Happy #Christmas from WOTD! 📷 V&A Museum

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Merry Christmas! This morning I found out my husband had never heard "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls nor "Rainy Days and Mondays Always Get Me Down" by The Carpenters. That has been rectified. Cinnamon buns are out of the oven, second round of coffee starting.

This thread has been saved from the wastes of Twitter! Go on; have a read, it’s a lovely Christmas Eve tale.

Here's Cernunnos, wishing you all a merry Yuletide, however you celebrate! The name Cernunnos appears in an inscription on a first-century CE Roman pillar from Gaul, associated with a horned figure.

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year: A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

Delete that shit right now friends.

3 days of sewing & now all I have to do is wrap this gift for my husband. Cloth purchased here, it took me 45 minutes on the tram to get to the store. Perfect pocket-sized adventure. It is our first Christmas in Canada, last year we visited our sons in our old house. I miss them.

I cried with laughter through this whole skit.

Snow & wind & woods. #art

One of the many things that has delighted me about this group was them deciding to do a whole late night show along with merch.

Five real global health wins in 2025 1.HPV vaccination scaled faster than expected; 2. measles/rubella eliminated in several countries; 3. long-acting HIV PrEP (lenacapavir) approved; 4. progress on TB vaccines/diagnostics; 5. A promising new antimalarial. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

I kept seeing people use the word samizdat to refer to the Canadian sourcing of the 60 Minutes report on CECOT pulled by Bari Weiss. Here's the definition from Merriam-Webster:

A few years ago my Mum painted a picture of our house. It's one of my favorites. #ArtAdventCalendar

The Narwhal sends journalists to the hard-to-reach places where important stories about the natural world in Canada are unfolding — stories that would otherwise go untold. Check out some recent highlights: thenarwhal.ca/2025-on-the-...

My favorite of the holiday Yule logs, if you need something different this year :)
