A screenshot of a cover page of a physics PhD thesis titled "Neutron-Induced Scintillation in Organics" from Lund University in Sweden. The title and info is very normally laid out at the top, there is a university crest at the bottom, and the entire rest of the page is a picture of a hairless cat laying sprawled on its back and staring directly at the camera

Apparently some universities let you make a cover page for your PhD thesis with anything you want on it. Consider:

I got a citizen notification a couple days ago of a man stripping naked after shooting into a liquor store. I think we have a smaller quantity of insane, but the insanity quality is equal

My two favorite photos I took at Formula Drift Long Beach, shot on Fuji 200 using a 70-210mm f4.5 lens. Looking forward to Round 8 returning to SoCal in October.

Met a girl from 4chan who flirtatiously asks to take my 'measurements.' I giggle and assent. She whips out a pair of calipers.

Someone was hungry and didn’t appreciate being photographed

This was my only opportunity to take these on my home the other day once I noticed it, just an incredible sunset to have in my rear view on the way home.

So metaphors only exist when Trump or his goblins are spewing some crazy shit out of their mouths, got it.

I recently started college to become a biologist. I won’t finish until the next admin is in place. Should I keep at it and hope for work abroad, or hope US science isn’t completely dismantled by the time I’m done?

Knowing this much biology certainly isn't a prerequisite for being a federal judge. But damn, it's nice when they do. Judge Reyes really seems to have done her homework. 💪

Bloodhound Fang? Can’t believe you’d play on easy mode(it’s one of my favorite weapons in any From game. SlideWooshFlipStab)

This is some Soviet bullshit.

I graduated high school in 2012. When we were learning about it, we were taught that Nazis were the worst villains in modern history, and that we should make sure to never let that happen again. Now we’re overreacting when we point out the same Nazi tactics/symbols being used today

Hank went to bed and woke up still upset about the Jupiter moon disrespect

This turns out to have not been a particularly tricky prediction.

I'm an amateur artist and I try to draw more and not give up on artblocks. This post contains my most successful art, but I also love to take screenshots in video games and show my OCs.

Macro photograph in side view showing and elongate black wasp, her back end raised high, pushing a needle-like ovipositor into rough reddish tree bark.

A female Xorides wasp has sensed a beetle grub deep in this redbud tree, and she drills through the wood to deposit an egg on it. Illinois.

7 years ago, I posted about the Torrent Ducks which inspired @jencross.bsky.social to visit for the first time.

These badass ducks literally live in fast moving rivers and swim UPSTREAM! Here's a momma (orange) and a papa (white) duck teaching their ducklings how to swim.

More breathtaking shots from Viktoria. If you're not following her, you are seriously missing out! #photography

The Hihi or Stitchbird is the only member of an entire bird family. It's a threatened species and now only found in a few sanctuaries in New Zealand.

The male can erect its white eyebrows, as this male is doing in response to another male nearby.

The voices. THEY’RE BACK

It started with my loud sneezing

I like my own Skeets (Sky Tweets) because if I don’t love myself first, how is anyone supposed to love me?
