This deep sea creature is as sharp & clear as broken class, & can grow as long as your hand. This giant amphipod, (Cystisoma) only has two colored body parts: the dense orange stomach/egg pouch, & two MASSIVE eyes, which are a glittering holographic orange layer completely covering its head. 📽️ MBARI

The time it takes to write a joke, from conception to birth, is the jestation period.

Planning to write this manuscript curse on my office kitchen mug. لعن الله سارقه لعنةً لا تفارقه ساكنة في خوافقه أينما سار ترافقه May God curse its thief With a curse that never leaves him, Dwelling deep within his beating heart, Accompanying him wherever he goes.

The hardest room to escape.

Quote of the week ‘Reading is like going on holiday in your head. ‘ My amazing granddaughter, Hester, aged 8 years. #books #reading #quoteoftheweek

Now that we have cosy murder mystery, cosy horror, cosy dystopia and cosy serial killer romance, it's time for cosy non fiction. Cosy true crime, cosy microbiology, cosy venereal disease pessary instructions.

Today’s poem is called ‘Acrostic Poetry: The Benefits’.

🧵 This is exactly what I am asking for from my social media.

Good morning. Kaw has your back. (and would not object to a treat)

Every piece of writing is really a pas de deux with the reader. Your words, their imagination.

There is no McTry.

I learned something today! I didn't realize the warehouse was that big when I read about it in the news.

I want this beef with the Vatican to keep escalating because I'm pretty sure the Pope has some sort of gilded battle mech laced with saint bones.

Very entertaining thread.

Hey. Hey, you listen to me. The world is on fire. Everything is fucking terrible and expensive and stupid. So you cling to your joys. You clutch them to your chest and hiss at anyone who even insinuates that joy in the face of horror is silly or ridiculous. And then you kick them in the shin.

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...

Day 8 of #RepostYourArt is Autumn. I have a bunch I could post but I think we need something cheery today. So have an Aspen tree. ❤️ around here this is def fall. #art #DigitalArt #illustration #painting #Procreate #tree #fall #autumn

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

This is why I make cute and silly stuff, even if some people (including other artists) look down on it as being vapid or less "important". It's the type of art that brings me joy and I want to in turn bring that kind of joy to other people. If it makes you smile or chuckle, it's worth it to me.

The land is blossom blur. Spring wears its bridal white despite a belly already swollen with coming summer. The feral churches of the county hold marriages for spectral couples. Even myths are mating, creating stories waiting to be born. Our blood chases hope. – #DAKilroy, 1982 #Spring

Brutal.

Yesterday, the crew of the ISS called the crew of #Artemis2 and had a short conversation in between their busy schedules of research and documentation (I promise, to a scientist, that's more fun than it sounds!) This was the first ship-to-ship communications ever to take place in space. #NASA

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

Starting next Moday (13 April), I'll be offering a Biblia Arabica reading group/seminar, which I plan to be a continuous thing each semester accompanying our work on the new Biblia Arabica project. If you're interested, you or your students are welcome to join! For more deatils 👀👇

A group of devoted volunteers is methodically researching, cataloging and digitizing more than 10,000 concerts that one music fan recorded over four decades.

governor abbott took away our rainbow crosswalks but we replaced them with much more visible rainbow sidewalks, and some businesses have followed suit (one added rainbow exterior stairs)

Some doorways make it hard for us to stay in our lane.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

"What happened?" "I’m stuck. It's so embarrassing." “I guess things went... a-rye?” “Please do shut up.” "You should get out of the sun." "Why?" "Otherwise, you'll be toast." "You're an asshole, Charlie." “You’re right, you deserve butter.”

An interesting Facebook post by NEPA Drone with maps showing how proposed data centers in NEPA would form a network that will surround several small towns and boroughs just outside Scranton, PA. "They want you to look at one project at a time so it feels manageable. But this is the full picture."

necessity may be the mother of all invention but boredom gets some pretty cool results too
