Shocked eye of a male Hepatic Tanager.

Drawing in sepia ink of the hadrosaur, Parasaurolophus, laden with pannier baskets filled with Yuletide gifts and decked with seasonal greenery. Two festively costumed human figures accompany the hadrosaur: one in a feathered turban and waist sash carries a wreath, the other, in western European 16th century clothing, wears a sword at the waist and carries a long staff decorated with sprigs of holly.

Another of my original artworks in the @changelingart.bsky.social 'Deck the Halls' auction ending tomorrow, 12pm EST.

I will be excited to read this: not enough people are doing it IMO.

(One of my favorite ways to describe a certain region of AZ is to say a certain mountain range there has been islands thrice; twice in the sea, and now in the sky, so I guess I've kind of been "guilty" of this myself.)

Sir, I must protest; I am not a merry man. — Worf, son of Mogh

Page of digital sketches of three male Brewer's Blackbirds, all facing forward (or mostly). On left, the bird is standing tall and alert with his neck stretched slightly, and he is colored with bright iridescent purple and blue. The other two are sketched in more muted grays. Upper right, the bird is calling upward with beak open and with tiny pupils. Lower right, he is puffed up, looking straight on, as if about to sing and show how buff he is to the ladies.

Hey bsky. My favorite thing right now is forward-facing Brewer's Blackbirds. Just so you know.

Show me your forward-facing birds! 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

All those other people need to stop sinning so they won't be in front of me in the confession line. — Alice Sophia Gardner

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight

Inspiring photo of the night sky overlaid by text that reads "My problem is that I try to do everything better than I can do. And it's never good enough."

Life. Dont talk to me about life.

Today's dark thought: I want to get offed in a mass shooting because then i'll hopefully get tagged as bycatch.

Replica of a ship like that which was involved in the bronze-age Ulubarun Shipwreck: meme text (referencing a meme about the Edmond Fitzgerald) reads "Chat, are we cooked?"

The Aegean never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early.

Being a fantasy writer is typing "they extended an olive branch" and then going "shit, do they even have olives in this world?"

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.

No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

FIGURE 2. Petroglyphs, PMA/MR/2656, on a slab of Zagaje Formation sandstone from Kontrewers, Poland.

Just a reminder, that possibly the oldest piece of palaeoart dates to the Neolithic. The petroglyphs of horned characters with trumpets, recorded on the same rock as a ornithischian footprints (Zagaje Formation) in Poland, might be an early reconstruction of the Jurassic tracemaker.

A female Gideonmantellia pauses for a moment to watch over her young. She is an attentive mother, and although the chicks are capable of feeding and fending for themselves, during the early stages of their growth they will be accompanied and watched over by their parents

The committee has gathered to assess your fate.

This place needs to increase the ratio of shitposting to doomposting.

*grasping shoulders* I want to hear your least interesting thoughts, your half formed philosophies, your ruminations, your desperate wishes please please do not run those scrambled words through the dullness machine, do not let a language model attempt to summarize those gasped pleas I so cherish

You can’t be in love with me I am just a network of quaking aspens on the side of a cold mountain

Among the reasons I absolutely loathe genAI is the fact it devalues and undermines skills like learning how to research, fact check, and communicate. It’s like answering a question with a print out of search engine results, taking it as truth because the computer said so.

There’s no such thing as “Antifa,” at least not as an actual organized institution, but repressive measures of the kind the regime is doing will certainly create one

Also, what's his obsession with "xtitan" names anyway. He could have pulled a name from Ute, Shoshone, or Navajo storytelling traditions or something. Lame name.

You are not alone.
Find your community out there.
Find them haunting used bookstores.
Find them telling tall tales in dark taverns.
Find them shambling in mossy forests, communing with others in the gloom.

CHILDREN OF THE SEA × LITTLE PRINCE

A boy dives into his dying goldfish’s tank and is swept through evolutionary time itself, from ancient seas to land’s first breath, to learn how to let go.
