still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

A digital illustration of an incredibly fluffy cat, drawn in a watercolour-and-ink style. The colours are pastel with lots of yellow, aqua, and cool pink. The cat sits facing us, his bushy white chest contrasting with brown tabby colouring, giving the air of a wise white-bearded king. He has white paws and a white blaze on his face that covers his cheeks and nose. His long, bushy tail curves behind him, adding drama to the seated pose. A gold crown with red gems floats above his head like a halo, sending off radiant lines in the background. He sits on a fluffy white cloud. Around the image is a stylised frame, decorated with red clover (state flower of Vermont) and in the centre, the subject's name: FERGUS.

He looked so regal in that pic, I had to draw him! Hope that's OK. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. He looks a beautiful boy who probably purred really loud ๐ŸŒธโ˜˜๐Ÿ‘‘

genuinely nothing sums up how weird internet stuff has been mainstreamed and turned commercialized more than 'shitpost that took off years ago by trans person gets poorly remixed for an internet show for two cis het guys to go "WHAT WAS HE THINKING???" at'

i've never seen anyone attempt a LuBubu (Lu Bu x Labubu), so i took the dark deed upon myself

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for usโ€”who else is there to cheer for?

A digital dark age? The people rescuing forgotten knowledge trapped on old floppy disks From lectures by Stephen Hawking to the letters of British politician Neil Kinnock โ€“ it's a race against time to save the historical treasures locked away on old floppy disks.

So this #SHOT2025 panel has nearly wrapped up. But if you want to read more about historical issues surrounding multimedia and the preservation of born-digital collections, check out this piece on #DigiPres at @theul.bsky.social.

But I didnโ€™t and still donโ€™t like making a cult of womenโ€™s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men donโ€™t know, womenโ€™s deep irrational wisdom, womenโ€™s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior โ€“ womenโ€™s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?
