I saw some things on a walk today. #streetphotography

When you travel off the beaten path, you find there is still lots to be seen. #arachtober

Has anyone tried to tell Chat GPT to turn itself off?

Join us in celebrating Arachtober by sharing your #spider and other #arachnid photos all month. #Arachtober has spread around the web. We’ve created a basic site at Arachtober.com to explain what this is all about. Banner by @ashleymbradford.bsky.social, inspired by my recent linocut artwork.

It's finally here again! For my first post of this year's #arachtober I'd like to share a small giant of North America: Micrathena gracilis. A 10mm orb weaver that sports bright colors and a characteristic spiny abdomen. #macrophoto #nature

Early autumn molting. #spiders

Saying nice things is now illegal. As is saying mean things. Everyone has to just shut the fuck up.

Frog Summer 2025 #Naturephotography #Frog #Toad

Snapped this beauty back at the start of 2024 🗓️📸 Still kinda crazy to think I actually took this shot 🤯🕊️ Let me know what y’all think — and don’t forget to rate it! ☺️

My new favorite piece of outdated tech is this 32mb SD card that came with a Canon PowerShot SD750. It holds 9 pics at maximum resolution. Why would they do this?

Still lots to be seen. #macrophotography #bugsky #nature

It hasn't rained like this in years (at least since 2022). So in the temporary streams and ponds that form once the land is saturated with water, life starts sprouting back. #frogs #nature #naturephotography #rainyseason

One of my favorite recent observations, and a first one for me. A dung beetle (Canthon humectus) hard at work on its dung ball.

Now that the rainy season has come back to my area, I will start posting more nature photography, which makes me very happy. I already have some cool observations to share from yesterday.

Epicauta cardi (Coleoptera, Meloidae) Found a group of these black fuzzy beetles on the side of the road grazing on dead grass. Pretty interesting behaviour. #bugsky #beetles #nature #naturephotography

Welp, it finally happened. I've had this camera for around a decade, literally all of my photography has been done with it, it's served me so well. Been looking into diy repair but seems unlikely due to cost. Can't really buy a new camera either. This might be it for my photography for a while.

If you use ai you intellectually and mentally lazy. That’s all. You are lazy. Ai makes art free. No. AI robs you of learning how to do something. In learning how to do something you develop your voice. You are asking ai to speak for you because you are too lazy to face yourself

Post a warning (Street art edition)

me: hm i should repost some art for social media reasons . . . . me: ah damn i dont like any of my art

I thought they were cute anyways.

That unique feeling of dread when your drawing teacher gives you an AI gen image as a reference.

Good morning #spider #orbweaver #spider

I've actually witnessed the handiwork of these birds firsthand. It's interesting how normally they'd use plant thorns, but barbed wire was more accessible

Upping my late autumn vibes by hang drying the rest of my pepper harvest.

Speaking as an anthropologist, I would strongly, STRONGLY advise you to start preserving physical media of things that are important to you, especially racially or queer focused media. That means physical books, physical DVDs, and digital files stored locally.

It's NOT sad, but it is true.. 🪲
