Giant kelp fronds backlit by the sun

A school of bluish, reflective fish called smelt swimming through a kelp forest

A view through a kelp forest stand underwater

Another shot of kelp on the way back up from a dive, with the kelp backlit by the sun

And some more kelp forest photos, with some closeups of giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) and a school of topsmelt (Atherinops affinis), also with @joshualudtke.bsky.social .

Love the new storehouse, went there last weekend for a few hours - I could have spent days there!

L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Screen cap of parodic version of William Blake's "The Tyger" that begins: Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright (Not sure if I spelled that right) What immortal hand or eye Could fashion such a stripy guy? What the hammer that hath hewn it Into such a chonky unit? Did who made the lamb make thee, Or an external franchisee?

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

screenshot of text: Do remember to tell people, when you write your article, that the most important message today is that every single day, each one of us lives, we make some impact on the planet, and we can choose what sort of impact we make; what we buy, what we wear, where does it come from? Did it harm the environment when it was made? Did it lead to cruelty to animals like terrible factory farms? Is it cheap because of child slave labor? If we start making ethical choices every day, millions and billions of us, we move towards a better world and a world of citizens who will push governments to make the ethical decisions themselves.

Jane Goodall, from a March 2020 Paste Magazine interview: www.pastemagazine.com/article/jane...

A black square image featuring only text. The text reads "THIRTY-ONE WORDS", in orange and then a numbered list of words, in white, below 1. CONSPIRACY 11. FOREST 21. FORGET 2. LATE 12. RIBBON 22. TIGER 3. FOX 13. RARE 23. ACCEPT 4. STRAIN 14. CHOICE 24. HOLD 5. CODE 15. KIDNAP 25. HOOK 6. EVOLUTION 16. FEAST 26. FEEDBACK 7. JOINT 17. BALD 27. BULLET 8. GUARD 18. LAY 28. PLEASURE 9. TEMPORARY 19. CLOSE 29. GIFT 10. BEARD 20. STORY 30. IDENTIFICATION 31. THEFT

OK, so in an attempt to encourage myself to draw more (but not get mired in controversy) I've used a random word generator to come up with 31 words.

I will attempt to create an original, hand drawn/inked illustration for each word, every day (hopefully) #31words

Call me old-fashioned, but I ask you:

WHY do we let the tech industry do whatever the fuck it wants?

I, for one, don’t WANT the future Silicone Valley is shoving down our throats.

NO to strangers being able to dox me as I walk down the street.

NO to them being able to do it to my daughters.

Love the much smoother camera move! 😍

This is very cool! 🤩

Grim reading 😬

STORY TIME! I have a story about something that happened on the bird site five years ago and I was just reminded of today. It has all the markings of a standard international Twitter/internet interaction/misunderstanding until you get to the twist at the end.

Buckle up for a thread!

This is so cool! 🤩

Three panel comic: 1st panel: Two crudely drawn stick men: Stick man 1: to make art that is popular you have to be really good at drawing 2nd panel: stick man 2: but if that’s true 3rd panel: both characters are looking at a spot beneath the comic (where the likes are) Stick man 2: why does this comic have thousands of likes?

“i have to use AI because i’m bad at drawingggg 😭😭😭”

Due to the imprecise manufacturing methods used to produce officially licensed 1989 Princess Peach cake toppers, a majority of the figurines suffer from eye misalignment in various degrees of severity.
