Photo of a bee perched on the center of a yellow flower, its mouth parts extended to collect nectar. The bee has a brilliant metallic green head and thorax, with black and yellow striped legs and abdomen. It's eye is a pretty mottled green.

These bi-colored striped sweat bees live in tiny holes sprinkled around our yard and look like sparkling jewels

Intriguing new fantasy market...

This interview dropped in our lap so quickly and I wasn’t prepared for a photo so when the reporter asked to take one I panicked and grabbed a cartoonish stack of books and said QUICK TAKE IT BEFORE I DROP EVERYTHING QUICK

Hey Americans, if this passes you'll be uploading your ID to every social media and website to access it.

I for one would love to see @planetmoney.bsky.social and/or @propublica.org start doing the stats to track jobs and unemployment independently from the government. I understand the BLS just let someone go who knows the drill….

Flagstones set loosely in a grassy hill amble down to the wall of castle ruins built of uneven stone. An opening, like the vertical slit of a cat's pupil, provides a view down to a verdant field ending in dense darker woods followed by placid water. Light glints over the surface and filters through the eyelet set in the wall bathing gold blades of wild growing grass. In that line of light, a butterfly spreads yellow and black wings wide to catch rays on one of the smaller stones on the path.

WARMING HER WINGS (2012)
Acrylic on Panel - 11" x 14"

In fall, the sun sets on the west side of our property to shine through the trees. On a humid day, the light seems suspended in the thick air, spreading against the dark shapes of the trees, fanning golden brilliance across the green lawn. 1/5

A prosthetic leg made of wood hinged at the knee.

Artificial wooden leg, 1894. This prosthetic was made for a very young soldier, just 16 years old, after he lost his right leg. It was worn for many years until the man reluctantly accepted a new one. Prosthetic limbs are very personal items. This example has been repaired many times.

A watercolor painting of an Aldabra giant tortoise, detailed in soft browns and grays, walking with its neck extended, sketched on hot press paper.

Painted this Aldabra giant tortoise slowly with a limited palette and a lot of coffee (literally). These gentle giants can live over 150 years. That kind of long, steady survival feels like a small miracle lately. #sciart #addherper #watercolor

Print version of graphic. Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into sugars, using the food to grow. This process, called photosynthesis, allows plants to make their own food, storing the carbon in their tissues as they grow roots, branches and leaves. In this way, trees help fight climate change by absorbing and storing carbon pollution that is heating the planet. Big trees store the most carbon because of their mass, and long-lived species such as Douglas fir and red cedar can lock carbon away for centuries. Trees absorb carbon dioxide gas through openings in leaves or needles called stomata. Chloroplasts within leaves and needles use the energy of the sun to split water molecules drawn up through tree roots into hydrogen and oxygen, released through their stomata. Trees and other green plants create the air we breathe, and shelter and nourish life as we know it.

GONE MAD!

We need a Democratic Party, but for the left

Why a NASA satellite that scientists and farmers rely on may be destroyed on purpose The Trump administration has asked NASA staffers to draw up plans to end at least two satellite missions that measure carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, according to current and former NASA employees.

The anti-science Trumpers may be planning to destroy two working satellites that provide vital measurements about carbon dioxide & climate (and data that forecasts crop yield, drought conditions, & more). They cost $750 million to make but only $15 million/yr to operate.

There are pink and blue bands in the morning sky. And clouds!

Good morning, folks. The sky says trans rights are human rights.

The first stage of making new stop motion animation dolls (for me) is to make new heads of different characters—each with different expressions

There’s been an ongoing conversation about diversity in horror again so bringing this point here —

If you’re entire horror panel, programming, client list, upcoming title list, TBR is largely White…ask yourself some serious questions.
