A double-win on #stripes day today for #birdoftheday! The easy choice for me was a common loon, but this one caught a fish with some (short) stripes! #birds #bird #photography #ornithology #birdphotos #nature #naturephotography #birdphotography #wildlife #wildlifephotography #commonloon #loon 🦉 🪶

Now more than ever we need to make the art, so I’m jumping in! I hope you’ll join me in September to bring Feather & Stone into the world. I need all the follows I can get on this project. @backerkit.com 🖤 www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #art #books #booksky #nature #poetry

RIP Marjane Satrapi (1969–2026), and thank you for Persepolis. ❤️‍🩹

Nature is so amazing. It is always interesting to illustrate the huge variety of life, in this case, a brownsnout spookfish with its unusual barrel eyes for ABDO's Seeing Their Prey. #kidlitart #sciart

Congrats to the guy who subpoenaed us and folded immediately after we told him to fuck off www.404media.co/404-media-ob...

Think it's crucial to stress that Talarico is NOT adopting the Dem-consultant-approved approach. He centers costs and economy but contrasts his vision with the society that Trump and MAGA want—meaner, crueler, unrepentantly hierarchical, proudly anti-egalitarian, wracked by violent ethnic purgings.

Looking forward to celebrating Oslo’s 10th Urban Sketchers Anniversary and doing a demo at the event😍✍️📘😊 #urbansketchers #urbansketching

I love how punctual Jon is with his great cartoons. One day I hope to post more crone cartoons again.😅

Whatever your thoughts about The Boys' finale, it made Elon Musk mad, which the show's creator and cast think is hilarious.

If this happened under a Democratic president, even if it were not their fault, Corporate Media would crucify them. This is happening under a Republican president through, and it is completely his fault and he makes it clear he does not care, but Corporate Media will not hold him to account.

Your occasional reminder that "AI" is shit: Every assertion in this "AI Overview" of the question "What coffee does John Scalzi drink" is wrong. I don't regularly drink coffee (and never black) I've never had black sesame jasmine cream tea, and I don't hang in coffee shops. Don't trust "AI" ever!

An excellent plan!🐲

The future of urban sketching is already being drawn. In shared pages, new voices, and deeper connections to place, we continue shaping what comes next. Today we reflect on where we are, and where we’re going. #USkWeek2026
