"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

This job might get the most applications in the history of job ads.

It's very warm today and I fell asleep 3 times while I was drawing this ✨

overstimulated ✨

„Kulturstaatsminister Wolfram Weimer: Verbot von Gendersprache im Bundeskanzleramt“ #gerndern #genderverbot #Kanzleramt #schwarwel

Umm, #Merlin is slightly overestimating my daily mobility for my bird of the day challenge. Guess I'll keep an eye out here in Styria?

Happy to report that Socke is back to her usual clownery after her surgery. She had the threads removed yesterday and we're now trying to salvage at least some of our vacation with a short trip to Styria.

First time back in my home gym in ages. They switched many of the TechnoGym machines for Egym ones with adjustable resistance curves and really cool workout modes, like using 1.5x weight on the eccentric, fantastic for muscle growth. And then they gave them the most basic range of motion imaginable.

I made a new acc where I'm planning on sharing a lot more of my photography: @mysillyphotos.bsky.social If you're interested, give me a follow there. I'll use Pinksky, an Insta-like client geared towards picture-sharing, but still using the 🦋 network, hence a different account. 🖼️ for attention.

My dog Socke has had surgery yesterday, so my task for today is following her around wherever she decides to lie in the flat to make sure she doesn't claw at her wound. She's been a total champ through the whole process. Hoping she recovers quickly. Even though we had to can our planned vacation.

Read this article that connects a lot of dots about how the current super-bland media landscape came to be, and about the value of AI-generated whatevers. If you're already GenAI critical, it might give you some ideas how to express your skepticism. If you aren't, well, I recommend it even more.

I usually miss #sharemondays2025, because my mind is just on the week ahead and not on the photos I took recently. But this one is so recent, I'm actually remembering to submit it. A common kingfisher, taken this morning at the Schönauer Traverse in the Naturpark Donauauen, near Vienna 🇦🇹.

Ich hab da nen Vorschlag #theländ #bw #lehrermangel #neuland #digitalisierung #baden-württemberg

the rest is history 😪

how are you doing? ✨

The weather did hold. Turns out I was a bit too optimistic with the landscape format and the 50mm lens, however. Had to swap for the wide angle and portrait format after all. Anyways: here's the Haller Mauern at sunset and with the Milky Way.

Since the conditions seemed optimal today, I spontaneously decided to take the camera to one of my favourite View points in the Nationalpark Kalkalpen. All set up and now I just need the weather to hold for another 3h, please.

Having just returned from Lundy, I can say this is absolutely true.

Rate everything! Review everything! All the time.

Regret to report that Ea-Nașir has been at it again.

With all the hype around LLMs and no consumer tech seemingly able to do without, it's amazing how ChatGPT being down yesterday resulted in exactly zero consequences for my personal or work life. I didn't even notice it until I read it on here this morning.

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

This is insanely cool. Looking forward to playing around with that. Definitely also of interest for @fjonan.bsky.social.

“Without widespread theft, my industry can’t survive” is an argument against your industry surviving, and is not an argument for allowing widespread theft

bored games ✨

Feel like this is one of the weaker #ESC lineups of the past years. Very few bangers. 🇸🇪 Sweden, 🇦🇹 Austria, 🇮🇸 Iceland, 🇱🇻 Latvia are my favourites, but none of them could stand up to the top four of the last few contests.

Early wake up this morning to catch the moon at 455 AM this morning in the Netherlands.

When I'm in an aircraft hangar at 1:30 am in the morning, watching @nickbradbeer.bsky.social tinkering with potentiometers, it must mean we're running a Larp. What a mad setup day.

New pope arrived before the Winds of Winter.

Is AI a good thing?

A scallop shell and sea foam. Some slow-shutter fun for today.

I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights. Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.

Movies you've watched more than six times using gifs.

I don't know. I would like to hear @nickbradbeer.bsky.social's opinion on this, I think.

My plans for the day summarised.

thinking of my trans homies today 🏳️‍⚧️ 💙🩷🤍🩷💙

this cow is going places 🐄🚗💨

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”

crazy to see one up close 😮

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility dear friends! We see you, we appreciate you and we can't imagine the world without you! ❤️

Apparently you can now pay Garmin 90€ a year for some fancier challenge badges and the privilege of handing their AI your entire health data. We live in the worst timeline. Why does everything become enshittified? Do I need to find a better sports watch soon? Ugh. 😩🙄
