First run of the new year this morning! We got up a little too late (at least, I did, sorry Ben) so the sun was a bit too hardcore to do a long route, even with sunscreen and hats. But it feels really good to be back at it.

while my mom was pregnant with me, she was delivering chinese food on bike in new orleans. i like to think that the music she heard in the streets made me the way i am now. happy new year everyone!

A dead, fallen tree in the rainforest explodes into a kaleidoscope of exquisite new life, colour, and beauty. Just one example of what's lost when we 'tidy' deadwood away from a natural ecosystem. Leave it rot down for nature. 🌍

It's hard to grasp just how difficult life for them is, when we hear aid, that costs money, and ceasefire, that kills so many every day, rent, for bare bones, often bombed, buildings, we don't grasp how much desperate need there is really, everything helps. Every action saves. gofund.me/124a7c49

Hello 2026, I hope the new year has started well for you all! When I was a kid, we moved around quite a bit. My current home might actually be the one where I’ve lived the longest, and occasionally I get this strange urge to look for new flats.

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

(2/12) I've been working on Fire in the Highlands, a fantasy novella coming 2026! Brindle, orc naturalist, meets dragon expert Archibald Carrel in the Capercollian highlands. But few dragons have returned from migration this year; that's bad news for the forest, since—well, I'll let Archie explain:

Finally! I am here on blue sky 🌌 let’s get it rolling my family 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️👨‍❤️‍👨👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩⚧️

a stoat!

I love the way the new year triggers hope- even though the world feels bleak after a chaotic 2025. Wishing you all a year ahead full of compassion, goodness and a new spark of resistance. There’s a lot of love and support here on blue sky, and I am very appreciative. #resist #hope #happynewyear

My sincere wish for all of us in 2026 is we all keep makin' art! Good, bad, stinky – it doesn't matter! Let's keep making things. ✏️💨

2025 has ended, the year Lynch left us. But his work and life will always remain in our memory. Always in our hearts. Eternal love. David Lynch forever.

please note that this is in the Northern hemisphere. Where it's *winter*.

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable. If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

I get so sad about people's animals dying. Even people online who I don't even know. I cry about animals at least once a week. Today I got sad because a farming youtuber's prize ram called Scrot (short for Scrotum) got bitten by a snake and died. 🥺

Scald, the fiery Kenku! 🐦‍⬛🔥 Comm for @nwalkertalker.bsky.social :)

And this is why social media, for all its horrors, is still amazing.

I had 15k or so viewers on Twitter and the engagement, especially towards the end, was trash compared to the 5k here. I saw no loss in business or reach from scrapping mine. Noone needs twitter. It needs you. It is a parasite in the most blatant way. Ditch it.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have shown Alzheimer’s disease can be REVERSED- not just prevented. Using a potent neuroprotective compound called P7C3-A20, they found RESTORING balance to a central cellular energy molecule (NAD+) not only PREVENTED disease features but REVERSED them, EVEN at late stages.

I got word that an original painting that @spottacus.org commissioned me to create is now on auction via Goodwill. Auction ends in just a little over 1 day and is currently at just $30 so if you want an original painting of mine for an absolute steal, here's the link shopgoodwill.com/item/251172556

Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

TikToks are everywhere (well, except countries like Australia and India, where they've been banned.) We talk to the creators of some of the year's most popular reels from the Global South. n.pr/3Lgj65w

one good thing coming out of AI bullshit i guess

Is there some kind of discourse going around where people shame people for arriving to bsky a bit late? What a weird vibe lol Like calm down we are all diving at the same dumpster here (there are some good finds! Mind the broken glass though)

Happy Saturday! We now need SIX more sales from the reduced price bundles/books to save storage this month. SIX! Dropped the price on both. Thank you thank you for helping us while we try to rebuild.

I hope 2026 is better for all of us. I hope you get to eat. I hope you have somewhere safe to sleep at night. I hope you’re surrounded by love. I hope your job is pleasant. I hope you have money when you need it. I hope bad things happen to the evil rich people who make our hopes sound too big.

Just got horrifying news about the conditions where German is being held so I'm sharing the gofundme again. Please share widely and donate if you can gofund.me/575c7a343
