a gif from gifsboom.net shows an owl in a blue shirt Alt: I think this might be a whet owl, a tiny own with a very intense expression. An arm in a blue jacket rotates him in multiple dimensions, against a green leafy background, but his intense glare always faces the camera.

Like many animals that can fly, the #SuperbOwl has gyro-stabilized neck movements to allow it to maintain focus on prey in flight. They're not unique in this, but they are superb!

This little guy is in a rescue for head trauma from a car strike. You can see the pupils don't match (anisocoria).

Kann mir bitte jemand meinen Kopf weg nehmen und mich schlafen schicken?

Whistle Up 2: Rise of the Whistle Goblins | dansinker.com

Today the crew of weirdo printers that I call the whistle goblins passed A HALF MILLION whistles printed and shipped. I wrote about how we got there and how you can start printing whistles yourself. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

Oh danke für den Hinweis! Ich hatte heute früh auch schon ersten Wettkampftag nachgeguckt, aber live ist schon cooler

Boah, so sauber und aufgeräumt war meine Wohnung ewig nicht mehr!

(ja ich bekomme heute Besuch)

The Board of Governors decided, unilaterally, that no published textbook in the field of sociology could be used in compliance with the law for an Intro to Sociology class. None. Victor: There's not a single existing textbook on the market that could be used that would qualify under state law? Zachary: Correct. Victor: I'm sorry, that's kind of funny. Like, the absurdity of not a single sociology textbook getting past the censors. I mean, it makes me kind of proud of our colleagues, but...

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

Schon mal gehört, aber wenn jemand von den drei K reden würde, wäre mein erster Gedanke KKK

Ey, wenn der Auto-Alarm jetzt noch ein viertes Mal losgeht, bin ich bald motiviert selbst das Auto zu klauen 🤬

a screencap of the printing progress of the infamous WHISTLE BLOCK, where someone prints hundreds of whistles upright in a process that takes several days

Good morning from the Whistle Avengers! I just marked the 1,000 I'm sending to fellow organizers in Alabama as shipped, bringing us over 150,000 whistles shipped in February alone!

To celebrate, please enjoy some pics from our various printers, showcasing a few of our favs.

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Oh ich glaube das wird ausgedruckt 🥰

I can't stop laughing about how we wrote a trilogy about lady book nerds fighting tech bros with community organizing and 3d printers and 6 years later a bunch of lady book nerds Nick Fury'd the whistle avengers. 😂

Habt ihr schon Zettel aufgehängt oder so? Aber ich würde auch sagen es spricht nichts dagegen sie jetzt schon aufzunehmen, auch wenn dann erst Zettel aufhängen

Infographic titled “prepped.to How it came to be” with the prepped.to logo at the top. Six illustrated panels on a light purple background explain the project’s origin. Rey needed preparation before new places to avoid overwhelm, so Rey’s mother made small booklets explaining what would happen. They reviewed sensory details together before outings. Rey is now an autistic adult who still benefits from preparation. prepped.to lets autistic people share sensory info, images, videos, sounds, and instructions so others can prepare before going to new places.

I'm not autistic, but so far as I can tell this sounds like a really good project?

Same as first picture, just different angles

Detail of a bowl, the gold glue is glittering.

I bought a Kintsugi set and finally got around to using it to repair some dishes that broke...

It's really ironic that even with a technique which highlights that it was broken, I still have to fight perfectionism so much 🙃

Oh ja, den höre ich auch sehr gerne und mache die gleiche Erfahrung. Hat mir auch total geholfen bei einer recent Diagnose manches ungesundes Framing von mir fern zu halten

Evening update! 💕 We have some new folks on the wishlists and are working on a way for Amazon avoidant folks to sponsor filament! 💕

"The number of downloads...surged by 529% after Mr. Mamdani’s news conference"

"there had been 3,000 people on a waiting list to access a limited number of e-book copies"

"2,000 people applied for a library card over the weekend, roughly twice as many as had applied by this time last year"

A win!

German soccer federation official wants World Cup boycott considered because of Trump A German soccer federation executive committee member says it’s time to consider a World Cup boycott because of the actions of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Ein Präsidiumsmitglied des Deutschen Fußballbundes #DFB sagt, es sei an der Zeit, über einen #Boykott der Weltmeisterschaft aufgrund der Aktionen von US-Präsident Donald #Trump nachzudenken.

Wenig überraschend: Es handelt sich um Oke Göttlich, den Präsidenten des FC St. Pauli.

Gerne teilen/Leute verlinken die Ahnung haben könnten! ❤️

Hatte hie Alt-Text selbst geschrieben, aber frag mich ob es nicht halbwegs wahrscheinlich ist dass bei Comics schon mal jemand anders Alt-Text geschrieben hat?
Und deswegen die Frage: gibt es technisch eine Möglichkeit zu suchen nach "Ist dieses Bild schon mal irgendwo mit Alt-Text gepostet worden?"

"The blood was only ever a means to an end," the vampire confessed in the interview.

"To what end?" the reporter asked.

"Blood carries vigor, life force, vital energy. That's what we feed on."

"So how do you get it, if not through blood?"

"These days, we make doom scrolling apps to drain it."
