A bunny catches fireflies in the night. There are a half-dozen fireflies surrounding him in a small clearing in a forest. The bunny has only a jar and a flashlight with him.

Oh well. The neighbors probably prefer bees anyway.

A poster for the event s"Bad Art for Good an art + community event. " with a possu wearing a beret and painting a painting of himseld lounging and throwing one hand in the air saying "plant stuff for possums" The possum is saying "Make the world better with art" it also says Indy Hall Clubhouse Sept 2nd 6:30pm. The bottom says "Thank you to our sponsors Lisa and John Mowery, Yards Beer, and Sonya Widen.

I tried to make a poster that was like, approachable, inviting, cute-bad, and I'm afraid what ended up happening is that I just created a mess lmao but I'm TRYING ok.

Come to my event there's gonna be free beer. I had that on the poster but it looked too cluttered.

RSVP, it's FREE.

Ok, but now I want to know what to plant to attract possums. (I saw one in the yard months ago and would like the rodent eaters to visit more frequently)

I was definitely hearing Mjoll’s dialogue when entering Riften as I wrote this. And now I want a version of Skyrim with an ear-thieves guild maybe with Mark Antony in place of Maven Black-Briar.

Tegan had another run in with Mark Antony.

He’s just resting his eyes.

If you're looking for more bunnies, try @incognitodef.bsky.social too - they boost lots of real bunny content!

Most of my bunny content is on Mastodon, but there’s a ton of people with house rabbits (you can start down the rabbit hole with @adailyviolet.bsky.social).

Just saw the whole rabbit trampoline AI slop thing… and well… one way to recognize fake rabbits is to follow more people who genuinely like rabbits.

As a -11, I laughed a lot.

One of the things I was looking forward to when moving from Boise to Philly was leaving smoke season behind. 😬

Concrete kintsugi. I like it.

VERY crucial thing that I neglected to mention in the previous post: the Chilean government says he died in 2019. So. Yeah. Hoax.

Last fall, the First Lego League project was focused on the ocean, so we had a massive number of requests for marine biologists come in to Skype a Scientist. I just got word that this year's theme is archaeology.

Know any archaeologists? tell them we're gonna NEED 'em.

Sitting with Tegan while I enjoy my morning tea.

In my twenties I hosted social gatherings in my home around once a week. It was behavior based on religion; I think I was 14 when an adult told me they thought I had the spiritual gift of hospitality.

In my forties, I absolutely spend more time with my rabbits than people, and I like it that way.

Watching Adventuring Party on Dropout, one of the players said it was November 2nd. Immediately I thought, “Oh, they don’t know.” It will be interesting to see if the tone of the season changes.

CONFIRMED: Neri Alvarado, the Venezuelan man imprisoned by the Trump admin without due process for 4 months in El Salvador because of bureaucratic errors stemming from his autism awareness tattoo honoring his brother, is FREE.

Two things both true:

The loved ones of Venezuelans are celebrating that they are no longer in CECOT; some are celebrating their return home.

And.

It is a violation of international law to cause someone to be returned where they’ll be persecuted. Most of them never got a chance to make that case.

If you believed Siobhan: YOU ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO PROPAGANDA 🫵🤡

She lost her bonded partner earlier this year. She’s not interested in our other rabbit, so we tried stuffies. She’s not very interested in them either, but we had to try.

Rabbits rule.

I have several not MAGA but still evangelical family members who are so financially entwined with evangelicalism. They’ll never get rich but they can’t leave without losing things like childcare or their main customer base.

🤢

I’m not sure the mechanics, but padded gloves helped when I was experiencing numb hands while riding.

Game Changer has been so amazing this season.

Honestly, if Dropout people want to install royalty, I don’t strenuously object.
