I am SO close to drawing 20 Johnnies this year oh my goodness it's real, thank you Lu in the #LordHuron discord/tumblr communities for this goofy challenge 🎨 #Fanart

A single human skull lies on the overgrown floor. It has many faces, eyes, noses, repeating in a fractal pattern. From the cracks in the bone, a small fractal flower emerges. The water behind swirls in shimmering patterns.

A picture taken from the floor of a hospital room. In the foreground, a person lies on the floor. Behind its head, their spinal cord, brain and eyes tumble outside, appearing to slither like a snake.

In the far distance, way behind the mountains, a face that is too large to comprehend looks back at you, eyes wide open.

A large 747 aircraft flies low close to a runway on a foggy day. The plane is completely dilapidated, with a missing cockpit area, several large holes in the fuselage and destroyed motors. It is surrounded by a coat of black smoke.

Today is my birthday! 🎂
If you like my work and want to make my day, I only ask that you share my art and stories with someone who might enjoy them :)
Or trick your gullible friend for a minute. That's also a good one.

I promise this isn't a solved done deal. For instance, check out this paper about the pigeon ear hypothesis published in a very prestigious journal (Science) literally TODAY

Also, it's super fucked up that every cool unsolved bird mystery (like how birds orient during migration, still a very open question in the field, with support for a bunch of alternative hypotheses) is presented as definitely solved by the Google AI.

A 10 by 10 cm watercolour & pencil panel drawn for a zine. It features from the foreground back: a heart shape made from two curving branches covered in moss, lichens, slime mold and tiny fungi. the outline of a standing stone filled with the colours of the non-binary pride flag. A sky in the colours of the trans pride flag, with vague shadowy hints of vegetation along the bottom edge. Faintly written in the bottom left corner is my handle and webshop URL; @lycomorpha, and lycomorpha.etsy.com

Trans day of remembrance.

I'm sending love & solidarity to those still with us, in memory of those who aren't. & Wishing us all better things.

I'm not good with words, have this tho.

“Autumn Stream”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a forest in autumn. A dramatic sunset and gathering clouds fill the sky, with rolling hills of colorful trees. A slightly rushing stream cuts through the clearing towards the viewer.

“Continental Drift”, an 18”x24” oil painting of a volcanic wasteland, sitting in between snowy mountains and a sprawling forestland.

18”x24” oil painting of a nebula in red and orange, above a dark forest in shades of purple, blue and black. A cozy campfire brightly lights a clearing next to an old log, and reflects on the surrounding trees. A rushing stream cuts through the forest.

8”x10” oil painting of a house in winter, nestled among snowy evergreens.

We white folks need to come right out and say, not just defund ICE, but ABOLISH ICE.

We should not have these jackbooted thugs abducting people off the streets and abusing them in illegal concentration camps.

Hahaha yes perfect emoji combo

If you see this, post your bird art 🐦 🪶 #birds

A yellow-billed magpie standing on a wooden post of a barbed wire fence. It’s back is to the camera and it’s looking back over its shoulder.

Digital painting of an American robin, a medium-sized bird with orange-red breast and belly with very dark brown to black feathers elsewhere. It is guarding a nest that has a pink egg, a blue egg, and a white egg in it, representing the colors of the trans pride flag. Pointed green leaves frame the bird and nest.

On this #TransDayofRemembrance, as we think of all those who have suffered and died needlessly because of the bigotry of a minority...

...it's a great time to think about how you can protect trans folks by speaking up and taking action in your community.

Today, one of the teachers at the school where I do ICE patrol told me that with the walking bus (teachers pick up kids from immigrant families living at a nearby shelter & walk them to school), attendance for those kids is back up to 100% after dropping to ~50%.

Pay teachers one million dollars.

Wyden Presses for Investigation Into JPMorgan Chase and Epstein

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

The incredible takahē story Thought to be extinct not once but twice, the takahē's remarkable story of survival and rediscovery is a testament to the resilience of nature.

After being declared extinct twice(!), it was on this day in 1948 that the Takahē (Porphyrio hochstetteri) was rediscovered again. Thanks to intensive conservation work there are now more than 500. www.doc.govt.nz/our-work/tak...

Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

YouTube video by Miniminuteman America's Atlantis: The "Lost" Colony of Roanoke

I adore miniminuteman and his efforts as a science/history communicator, fighting the tide of bullshit out there. But he left one important note out of his vid on the "mystery" out the Roanoke colony.

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

Digital painting of a twilight sky, dark blue, with some clouds catching fading yellow light. In the shadows, they become almost black. There are shreds of smaller clouds scattered across the frame.

We report after sunset, looking out towards the east. The weak glow on the clouds is like someone has turned off the light, but left the door ajar as they went. The nightlight flickers; we get to see the last cloud melt into the night before it starts raining.

Oh god, how miserable is that? Ugh, I'm so sorry.

cinema_nasties 1d Al defenders are so embarrassing j.paulmonter 2h All you are saying is that you want to gatekeep creativity. That's not good. drachelbarr & 20h • •• Neuroscientist here... creativity is a process. A process. A FUCKING PROCESS. Not an output. Nobody is gatekeeping the process - Al simply invites you to skip to the end, to the output. Which, as mentioned, is not creativity. Nobody cares if the output is aesthetically pleasing, because the process, the act itself, the limitation of a single human mind and the resulting creations that capture that one single inimitable human experience... is what makes a creation worth paying attention

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social
