What beautiful crisp photos!! Excellent stuff as usual ✨

A close up on the head and front flipper of a juvenile northern elephant seal. It is laying on its side in the sand, head raised, scratching one eye with its front flipper. The light quality is such that it appears to have been taken at sunset

oh my GOODNESS 🤩

Yep! Hopefully it also brings about serendipitous things to make it feel less complicated for you. I've been going through something similar and it stinks 🤝💜

Hell yeah I can't WAIT

Tweet from Jesse Hamm (@Hamm_Tips) reading "Somewhere out there are people who need to hear a story you're uniquely able to tell. Art by others, even better art, won't do; only yours."

Opened Twitter for the first time in a while just to dig up this tweet of theirs I adore

I need this little dude on my bag STAT

its im asuming a bookstore with those words in the front on a poster

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA.
MARRY BOOKS.
KILL AI.

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

LOVE this vibe, gotta get me some o' these 🌴🐬🧡☀️

Everyone tries to tell you apathy is cool, but the sooner you learn earnestness is strength not cringe and that all your quirks are what people will fall in love with, the sooner learn how to define your own happiness and find true friends who love youf for you

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

Support the artists you like now because tomorrow you might not be able to find them.

KEEP DRAWING!

9 jours de inktober (ressenti : 800)

Being an artist trying to talk with other artists is just embarrassing. "I like your shapes and colours!" Mortifying playground shit

punches my screen THERE'S NO CLIPS OF MY DRESS-UP DARLING here on bluesky??????
I love how they do style changes for the anime that they show and later cosplay. They put so much work into it, it's crazy

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Honestly!! I've been thinking about it XD

I have said for decades that frustration is a good thing.

it's not even really something I see as something to 'tolerate' though I recognize that's a matter of perspective, but rather frustration is the symptom of you having standards and recognizing you want to close that gap between you and it

Beautiful ref photos from @animalphotorefs.bsky.social

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
