"Social media users are tired of losing their identity and data every time a platform shuts down or pivots. In the ATProto ecosystem, users own their data and identities. Bluesky is the first big example, but a new wave of decentralized social networks is just beginning."

Appalachia Through My Eyes - Spider Webs | Blind Pig and The Acorn Seems this time of the year I see spider webs everywhere I look-especially around the eaves of the house and...

Haven’t tried it myself, but people used to use spiderwebs to staunch bleeding in wounds, and also sometimes ate them. One theory is the webs might’ve caught penicillin spores.

A small octopus sculpture sitting in a shell that is being held up by the artist's left hand over a black background.

The octopus depicts the species Caribbean Reef Octopus scientifically known as Octopus briareus. 

It's a teal-ish blue green octopus with pearly white patches, overlaid with a dotted and spotted pattern in a dark maroon brown. Some more subtle patches of neon green here and there complete the color palette of this sculpture.

The octopus is holding a soft white pearl in its front arms.

A medium size octopus sculpture that stands on its own arms, it's limbs curling outward in every direction. It looks like it's dancing.
