Today.
A woman standing in her kitchen. She is taking a photo of herself and her boyfriend who is just a circulatory system. The text reads: It is November 10th now. Your circulatory system boyfriend stands by your pan in the kitchen. Unattended cooking is the number one cause of home fires. There are more home fires on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. Always stand by your pan.

Reminded me of this old post about The Sun
Old Internet post, picture of text: User ndiecity: The Sun is probably the closest thing we'll ever have to a true Eldritch Abomination. Hear me out here- - Older than recorded history; was here longer than any of us and will be here long after we leave. Has a finite beginning and end but is still incomprehensibly ancient - Burns itself into your vision instantly and can blind you if you look for too long - further prolonged exposure can cause cancerous growths - Non-humanoid shape floating through space, colossal flaming tentacles angrily lash out on occasion -Sort of just appeared one day and is now surrounded by the corpses of it's stillborn children - People used to sacrifice other people to appease it - Pretty sure it screams at us sometimes ~~~ User pondwitch: don't talk or think about this please

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Ughh I want a Supernote. But I'm not sure???

Let me just borrow one for like a month and then that'll convince me.

I tried digital Morning Pages earlier this fall on Zinnia. The only limiting factor was waiting for my pencil to charge. 😝

Last year I had an art commission to paint jacarandas and was so dismayed by the amount of AI imagery that’s in gardening pages.

@archive.org came in helpful for this task, looking up wonderfully scanned books on plants and gardening. 🥰🙌🏽

Mei, Satsuki and the smaller totoros enjoying the snow! A few days late for #ghiblinovember.

#art #fanart #ProcreateArtist
Two young girls (Mei and Satsuki), wearing winter wear, are building a totoro snowman. The snowman has CD eyes and twig whiskers. The small white totoro is sitting on top of the snowman, invisibility wearing off. In the very background there’s a blue totoro. The snow is sparkling in pastel shades.

We rarely post news stories, but this is a significant and impactful story from @alexreisner.bsky.social @ the atlantic, detailing just how Common Crawl is scraping the internet for AI companies and accepting takedown requests but doing nothing: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Common Crawl claims to provide a public benefit, but it lies to publishers about its activities.

Hi friends! Allow me to introduce myself.

My work is inspired by the bright colors of tropical plants and vibrant houses of New Orleans, where I make my work.

A large ceramic platter shaped like a banana leaf with ten small colorful spice bowls stacked behind it rest on a wooden table. Next to them is a speckled tan mug with a bird of paradise design. In the background is the interior of a bright sunlit retail shop interior. A large pitcher made from speckled clay that has several colorful large leaves painted on its exterior, along with a striking and vibrant bird of paradise flower. A round plate that's white with an unglazed brown edge. Hand-painted across the middle of the plate is a large length-wise cross-section of an okra in vibrant green. Four speckled tan mugs are stacked 2 by 2, each with a blue monstera leaf and an abstract star-burst fan palm motif painted on the exterior.

I'm so proud to announce my most ambitious pin to date: a miniature guide to the trees of Britain (and lots of Europe)!

Available now from my Etsy: canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4386...
A rectangular enamel pin with two hinges on the left hand side. It looks like a book and has a picture of a tree on the front. The book is titled: Trees, a miniature guidebook. An open version of the pin shows assorted leaf shapes on the pages of the book. The leaves are labelled by species as oak, horse chestnut, sycamore, hawthorn, ash, alder, hazel, holly, lime, beech, and birch

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.
