C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) was beautiful tonight -- And you can see it too! Grab a pair of binoculars, and look west just after sunset. It will be near the bright star Arcturus for the next three days, which is your best chance to see it!

A bright green comet trails a translucent tail of very faint blue against a black sky dotted with mostly yellow stars. The green is caused by di-carbon formed when solar wind meets the icy surface of the comet. I photographed it with my Sony A7iii, with a 600mm lens at f/6.3 for a thirty second exposure time.

Beautiful lighting! I know that made it all the harder to get such a clear shot. Well done :D

Here's how today's painting—with the briefest nudity—was self-labeled before posting (1) 🎨

And here's how Bluesky warned viewers of sexual content (2) 🫠

NUDITY IS NOT INHERENTLY SEXUAL! Clearly this platform cannot distinguish sensitive content. Nor should it.

The easiest fix is to get a 3.1 Soundbar. This will have the center speaker which you can individually adjust to hear dialog. Otherwise, you're stuck relying on Dynamic Range Compression (DRC) which automatically quiets loud things, and increases the volume of quiet things.

Keden @br0.nz · 23d

It is a result of Sound Mixing designed for Home Theater systems with multiple channels. Most dialog is assigned to the Front-Center speaker. If you don't have one, and the media has not been mixed for stereo, what you get is the spill-over from that channel. Your TV might have "Night mode" for DRC.

What an incredible shot! Just getting *one* hummingbird in focus is a feat. I've never seen two photographed like this! #hummingbirds #BirdOfTheDay

A photograph of an Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) in flight, feeding at an orange tree, taken by @br0.nz in Spring 2024. Sunlight illuminates the iridescent pink gorget and green back of the hummingbird. The orange tree's white flowers are clustered in the center of the frame, and behind its waxy leaves, two oranges glow in the shadows.

Keden definitely started out as a 3.5e Bronze Dragon from Lockwood's art in Draconomicon. 🎨 by Maryn

A western dragon with bronze scales and blue-green patina sits atop a rock, glowering down at the viewer. Its one distinguishing feature is a pair of equine ears.

She basically invented astrophysics.
She proved the laws of chemistry, quantum mechanics, and statistical mechanics, not just gravity, applied universally.
She determined the composition of the sun and primacy of hydrogen in the universe.
She advised the PhDs of Frank Drake and Frank Kameny.

Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students.

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Starter Packs and Block Lists are a great way to cultivate your feed. Find an artist / writer who you like, and then find out which Starter Packs they have created or are on. Once you follow a few, Bsky will be able to recommend similar ones. Check out the APOD - bsky.app/profile/apod...

Always happy for you to draw Keden again!

A bronze dragon holds aloft a glowing orrery, whose warm light illuminates his chest, face, and wings. Behind him, the night sky glows with streams of purple aurora.

If you're within the first 5 days of symptoms and have health insurance, you should ask your doctor about Paxlovid. If you don't have insurance, reach out to me and I can help you find local resources.

honestly the entire ending paragraph hits hard as hell. I feel like this is the most I've ever seen someone that isn't a furry Get It.

screenshot of an online review of a furry art show. there's a photo of a brick building with 3 tall windows. each has a single red neon sign in them. "DIGGER", "RUNNER", "LISTENER". text beneath:

Digger, Listener, Runner (2025) by Brett Hanover (with Eve Hoyt)

Furry is about sex and desire, but at its core, it’s really about friendship—about the rare occasion of becoming actually
visible to another person. Making art is a fight to be seen, to determine the image of ourselves rather than exist constrained by the distorted images that dominate media; images that have nothing to do with what it actually feels like to be human. To live without that is death-in-life. What do we wish for our friends, who we love and who make our life worth living? That they stay alive in every sense. So, that is all to say that I really liked this work of neon text art that co-curator Hanover made for the windows of “Room Party,” drawn from this quote from Richard Adams’ novel Watership Down:

All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.

May we be wise enough to embrace art as cunning, strange, and necessary as that in “Room Party.”
