Welcome Spring 🌼🐰🌼 #art #illustration #bunnies #spring

A soft springtime illustration set in a sunny glade, a group of young bunny girls in frilly white dresses and flower crowns prancing around a tall wooden maypole carved in the shape of a rabbit. Each girl holds a ribbon and reaches for the paw of the next girl as they dance, braiding the ribbons around the neck of the maypole. Colorful flags are strung from the top of the pole and flowering trees, bushes and grass decorate the background.

Absolutely obsessed with this late 19th century illustration of the Orion Nebula by Otto Boeddicker.

An illustration…Surreal monochrome with bands and textures resembling flowing fabric. Stars pepper the background.

A false color image of the actual Orion nebula, where you can see many of the features from the illustration, but without the foldy fabric bands.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.

Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!

Beautiful red roses on a pink background with flowing script saying "Roses are red," Violets budding and blooming. "Violets are blue," Hydnora plants opening up looking like terrifying red mouths bursting from the hard sandy soil. "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyll," A splash of cute red and pink hearts. "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day."

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

sona commission for my darling @vesperway.bsky.social!

[ #oc, #cms, #commission, #commissionart ]

a half body, partially rendered commission for my friend vesperway.

it's of a person with long dark green hair, crystal antlers, and pitch black eyes holding a skull under the moonlight.

their right antler is broken and the shards are falling in front of their face like tears. the skull in their hands is cracking under their grip.
