The Dimitri finds out meme, which is a two panel vertical meme of a guy being interviewed by a lady. The caption reads "The club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing." The second caption reads "There is much pain in the world, but not in this room."

A wheel-like visualization of bird feathers colored from wikipedia descriptions

It took me about three months to get here but...

Here's a 🪶 for (nearly) every species of bird, with colors extracted from wikipedia descriptions.

10,151 species.

“Each type of fossil has a different story to tell, and these stories complement each other, helping us to reconstruct a more accurate picture of the past. Paleontologists need all these pieces to reconstruct the history of life.” @alinemghilardi.bsky.social

a legless lizard that looks like a penis. it is pink, ribbed, erect at a 45 degree angle, and has an eyeless head with a broad shield on its forehead. if you look for more than a second, you'd notice it does have a mouth and its little tongue is sticking out.

a top down view of a legless lizard that looks like a penis. it is pink, tube, shaped, and has a head the shape of a rounded triangle. the forehead has a shield covering it that makes the head a little more orange. The lizard is pink because its skin has no pigment and in order to use its head to dig, it has two ligaments on the back of its neck tht look like a frenulum.

I usually like to put pictures of the lizards I'm working on in my presentations, but I think I might get a code of conduct violation for showing Monopeltis.

Drawing of a brown male pet rat sitting curled up leaning on the outer wall of a nest box, resting his head on his stomach with his hind paws up in the air on either side of his head. He looks relaxed and ready to sleep, though his eye is cracked open and looking at the viewer.

I haven’t had much time for drawing anything personal lately, but here’s a quick doodle of my rat Hönö, who curled into this seemingly very uncomfortable position and then promptly fell asleep using himself as a pillow.

was randomly browsing r/megalophobia earlier only to see an image of stygiomedusa with a snorkeler at the surface, which is bonkers since it's a deep sea jelly. 🦑🧪

after a little digging, it came from this paper: doi.org/10.1590/S198...

this is why i should stick to fiber crafts, there's an intrinsic satisfaction there that doesn't require it to be shared. nothing better than making my silly little thread pictures unperceived.

Me, writing: This is really coming together, it isn't bad... Is this actually good? I love making things!
Me, sharing that writing for review: Everything I create is ashes in my mouth. I'm a crime against art. They're prob laughing at me. I should be exiled. I'll never write aga

Meme. Ad or label for Carling Breweries, showing three men at a table, having a drink together. They appear to be dressed in 19th century clothing. The man on the left is leaning back into his chair with his feet out, and his right hand is on a cane. His left hand holds a long pipe, and he is looking at you. His face is flushed, like he has been exercising or lying, or been caught thinking about his sex dungeon. The man in middle, wearing a green jacket, is older. His white hair is receding, and he is also smoking. His gaze is on the last man. This last fellow, wearing a red jacket & a blue bow tie, is standing and pointing at a piece of paper on the table. His black top hat is on the ground beside him, as if he stood up in a hurry. I would guess that he is upset about how they're splitting the bill. Why should *he* have to pay for Carter's onion rings? He barely had any! The original label at the top reads: "Yorkshire Ale." The meme text at the bottom reads: "Now with more eels!"

In c.1634 Matthew Stevenson wrote a poem titled "Upon Yorkshire Ale"...a drink he didn't like. He found it too dark & thick, and he wrote (among other unpleasant things):

There cannot but be Eels
Where there is so much Mudde.

What do you think might be hiding in your drink?

The president keeps talking about how he knows he is going to hell and the material pleasures of life are just a balm for a wound growing deeper by the day. Which could be good or bad. It's impossible to say.

Photo of Elmo on my lap, sniffing my shirt while being loosely held by my hand. Next to him is Basil, a smaller brown rat.

Elmo has a lovely personality. Though he's a bit more temperamental and sensitive than, say, Lumo and Taika, he's also active, human-oriented and very cuddly.

No matter how many rats I have, there are never two that are the same. Their lives are such short flickers, but each one bright and unique.

@tabithawrites.itch.io Look at Elmo!

I want to eat them.

stop calling a bunch of apps an "ecosystem" until you can define the app version of a decomposer

Looking forward to this one because, despite being American, I was homeschooled until college and never experienced a HS prom or homecoming.
