Exhausted mossy shape. With antlers.

Scene from the Netflix series Black Spot: an antlered silhouette of a person crouches high on a rocky outcropping, framed by a misty blue-green background and dark foliage.

It’s #WorldOctopusDay!

From dumbo octopuses with ear-like fins and delicate cirrate species, to octopus nurseries around hydrothermal springs, the deep sea is full of remarkable octopus life. They thrive in darkness, cold, and crushing pressure, a reminder of the ocean’s endless surprises. #DeepSea

brave!

Edited Fritzi Ritz comic by Ernie Bushmiller.

From off panel, someone asks Nancy, "Oh, Nancy!--- will you bring me the tools from the cellar--- or are you afraid down there?

Nancy, clutching her doll, hollers back, "of course not!" then continues, to herself, "Me, afraid! Of all the insults!-- tsk, tsk!"

In the final panel, Nancy is seen leaning in to a cellar window from outside and cautiously attempting to fish for cow tools using a magnet on a long string.

It’s World Octopus Day. There were 4,200 Lego octopuses inside the shipping container that fell off the Tokio Express back in 1997. We found our first Lego octopus soon afterwards but didn’t discover another for 18 years. #WorldOctopusDay #oceanplastic

If your choices are "the fascism party" or "the party that just committed genocide and that brags about deporting more people than the fascists", your democracy died long ago. You're just starting to be personally affected now

Cosigned. Desensitizing wild animals to humans is a great way to get them killed.

There’s a rewatch of “The Good place” occurring in my house so this feels apt.

Four individual photos of the main human protagonists of “The Good place”

Tahani is saying “I hate folk punk It sucks”

Jason is saying “I love folk punk It's awesome”

Chidi is saying “folk punk is an important musical movement representing disillusionment with social, economic, and political conditions of its time, carrying major anarchist themes”

Eleanor is saying “I love folk punk It sucks”

A View From The Last Of Warmth

A view out from my hick awning, a blue pop up with a blue tarp staked over to divert wind and rain, while collecting the latter. The two blue coverings form a corner, framing a conical hanging basket of red and yellow begonias, a lead rope echoing the bright begonia tones hanging from the awning frame. A dark green ficus benjamina fills the left side of the shot in the foreground, wilting jewleweed in fading bright greens in the sunlit background.

This is us — Sakher and Reem.
Two years of war took everything from us.
Our homes are gone. Our futures shattered.
We carry the weight of loss every single day. But together, we’re still trying to hold onto a tiny piece of hope.

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

So I guess let it be known that the Bluesky team does not actually believe in decentralized moderation! Sounds like a good point to add to a Play Store review, for example.
