Good morning. The cloudy sky before first light promised color, so I booked it over to a nearby lake. #photography #NaturePhotography #landscape #LakeChristopher

Much of the Midwest and the East Coast are under a heat advisory or warning this week as dangerous heat continues. Here's how to stay cool.

A hungry elephant caused a commotion Monday as he raided the shelves of a grocery store in Thailand. Videos show the large elephant, known as Plai Biang Lek, who is a known entity of sorts in the area, strolling into the store and casually helping himself to some snacks.

Extraordinario-

I honestly just don’t dwell on it cause I’m going to keep creating anyway

Making art is like meditation for me. In therapy, they often tell you that being present in the moment helps with anxiety, painting/inking requires concentration/being present. I can think, absorb audio information, and parse emotions better while I'm drawing. I can't imagine not doing it every day.

Somebody tagged me in this so uh. Hank is right, but my instinct is to say yes they did. Penisfulness is the ancestral condition in birds, and crocodilians are also be-dicked, which completes the phylogenetic bracket: non-avian dinosaurs probably had penises. Fully retractable ones, specifically.

that galaxy in the center of the image? you’re seeing it as it appeared 11 BILLION years ago!! and not only that, but you can see a beautiful einstein ring 🌌

NEW: Is frozen water around other stars? #NASAWebb provided proof for the first time: It is! Webb identified water ice around HD 181327, a Sun-like star that lies 155 light-years away. The majority is found where it’s coldest—farthest from the star: webbtelescope.pub/42Vopw0 🔭 🧪

It's rather fascinating how many children's books feature grotesque, near Cronenbergian levels of body horror.

I'm ace and don't like porn myself but would happily vote for sex workers rights. They deserve a safe, regulated work environment. They do a hard (haha) job and should be treated with respect. If the roaring 20's taught us anything its that Prohibition doesn't work, it just kills people.
