#31DaysofHalloween This is a 30yr old photo of me riding my horse around the field in late autumn, sometimes I wore a cape. Jeffrey passed years ago, so this is my #ghost for #spooktober. #horse #eastcoastkin #classicmono #analogue

My white colored bird for #birdoftheday is this snowy owl from Adlerwarte Berlebeck. #bird #owl

Apparently it is international Day of the Rabbit. Let us say any Leporidae will do. #Oilpainting #Hare #animalart #traditionalart #eastcoastkin

My #birdoftheday post is a wood dove squab rescued last spring from my driveway. I live in the inner city and lack a garden. This is one of many pigeons rescued. Despite being so urban we get visits from falcons, red starts, blackbirds, swifts, treecreepers, mallards, gulls, etc... #pigeonsky #birds

I've seen some reactions from struggling artists along the lines of 'I give up' and I feel your pain—but please do not. Most people don't want to live in a world where artists are automated away, art production is captured by AI firms. Most people hate this idea. Organize. Build solidarity. Fight.

Today's #birdoftheday theme is #bluesky. Here's a bald eagle looking appropriately menacing. Taken a few years back at Adlerwarte Berlebeck, Detmold, Germany. #raptors #bird #photo #eastcoastkin

🔥💯 Jon Stewart's prophecy from 2022: "When a democracy is under threat: comedians are the ones who get sent away first. Authoritarians are the threat to comedy, to art, to music, to thought, to progress. It ain't the pronoun police, it's the Secret Police. It always has been & it always will be."

She sat on my hand for quite some time without biting me, so qualifies as friend. Tettigonia viridissima. #Greensat #coloraday #photo #insect #eastcoastkin #sciart

It was bad enough when government officials claimed that journalists incite violence by reporting. But now, they’re accusing reporters of actually committing violence. The supposed violence by reporters? Recording videos.

Yikes! The CDC has quietly scaled back its FoodNet surveillance, now only tracking salmonella and STEC. Monitoring for Listeria, Campylobacter, Vibrio and other pathogens has stopped- even after last year’s deadly Listeria outbreak. buff.ly/OyTTIOA h/t @boghuma.bsky.social #medsky #IDsky 🛟🧪

Last month, RFK Jr. demanded the retraction of a vaccine study in the scientific journal Annals of Internal Medicine. Its Philly-based editor refused. "He didn’t like the study Annals published," she told me, "mostly because it didn’t align with his beliefs." www.inquirer.com/health/chris...

While we’re still figuring out life on Earth, Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles away, cruising on 69KB, an 8-track, and 1977s Fortran like it’s nothing.

Starting the harvest with a height advantage. Prune plums and cider apples. I love that in August and September most of my fruit can be picked for free on local trails. #foraging #urbantrails #horses #fruit #germany
