Today’s wisdom: when in doubt, doodle cats.

My, my, my. How the tone has changed.

On this day in 1966, Star Trek first beamed into living rooms across America. None of us could have imagined then the journey it would set us on. And not just the cast and crew, but the millions of fans who would find hope, inspiration, and community in its vision of the future.

You might not guess it from this picture but the vet said this little angel baby basically has a sack of gravel in lieu of actual individual front ankle bones and hella lysis in her back ankle😢 She got an antibiotic and a steroid injection and we're hoping she improves by her followup in a few weeks

Rad! I was def leaning towards this one as my fave, but I feared others wouldn't be as drawn to it's fragility and brokenness. It's just decayed so beautifully!!

(妻)の作った編みきのこ新作、ヒイロタケです🍄
ここ数年カシナガの被害などで伐採される樹木が増えたせいか、どこに行っても倒木や切り株がヒイロタケで真っ赤っかな印象がありますが、それはそれとしてカメラが色飽和するような強烈な朱色は印象的で、みんな頑張って還元してるなあと応援したくもなります😃
そんなヒイロタケを繰り返し見ているうちにイメージが出来上がったのはいいのですが、あれもこれもと欲張ってすっかり盛りだくさんになってしまいました。
とういうことで、続くスレッドでいろんな角度から紹介していきます😊

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

He told me: To be tired.

The whole thing, all of it, was so that he would be tired. Too tired to complain; too tired to organize anyone else into complaining, or to fight back. Too tired to try to escape.

His whole life, and the lives of everyone in his town - in his country - reorganized - /

Wowza!! So gorgeous and vibrant~

Closeup photo of a nasal turbinate from a broken cow skull. The lattice-like structure of this delicate bone somewhat resembles a leaf skeleton or a coral skeleton

Ever wanted to see a nasal turbinate? I love how these delicate swirls of bone resemble coral or the skeleton of a leaf💚💀

This skull has longer horns & looks very aged. It is broken diagonally from the left bottom of the nose up to the right eye socket. Greens and browns colour the more porous bone of this skull, weathered by years of exposure. The cranial suture has started to widen, as well as other cracks visible on this skull

🌿On the other hand I love the asymmetry of the broken one, as well as the texture it has gained from advanced years of weathering. Though I would scour and clean it, I would endeavor to recreate the greens and greys it has accumulated once I have reinforced it's structure to ensure it's longevity.

A skull lies on the grass. It has short horns that turn upward & is whole and complete except for one of the nasal plates, which has broken off. This skull is cleaned of flesh, but looks relatively smooth and strong.

💀💚On the one hand the skull on the right is more complete and solid. Having spent fewer years exposed to the elements, it's structure has yet to get as porous and it is only missing it's nose plate (I would likely remove the other side to maintain it's symmetry)

Two cow skulls with horns (missing their keratin sheaths) sit side by side on the grass. The one on the left has short horns that turn upward & is whole and complete except for one of the nasal plates, which has broken off. This skull is cleaned of flesh, but looks relatively smooth and strong. The skull on the right has longer horns & looks very aged. It is broken diagonally from the left bottom of the nose up to the right eye socket. Greens and browns colour the more porous bone of this skull, weathered by years of exposure. The cranial suture has started to widen, as well as other cracks visible on this skull

If you had to choose, which of these two skulls would you prefer to see with mossy/lichen horns?
🤘Pay no mind to the horn size, I will likely build out both to a similar length~

Y'all, it's even better today in the rain :)))

A tree branch covered in heavily textured lichens lies on the green grass

Tree branches covered in heavily textured lichens amassed in a pile

I am enthralled by the icy greens, transfixed by the neon oranges, mezmerized by the limey hues, enraptured by the texturesss

Niceee, I def find hella "want to read" on there, it's fun to see what your friends are reading!

Close-up, low to the ground perspective shot of a seemingly huge tree trunk arising from a bed of wood chips. The base is covered in a bright green moss like the lower treeline of a mountain. Small fungi and lichens are scattered along the bark

POV: you're tiny fae adventurer who hikes up this mossy tree trunk like a mountain~

Tbh it's mostly dead on there, but I try to keep it updated when I remember for personal tracking haha. I think it would be perfect for keeping track of your book-a-week goal!

Thank youu, been trying to get to the gym & go on walks more this year!!

Oh wow, that's rad! Are you on GoodReads? I'm either so on top of a book that I finish it in a week or I don't read for months😩

Found this y2k denim mini at the thrift yesterday, can't believe the youth supposedly prefer this to the snug hug of a high waist. Am I supposed to just let it all hang out when I eat 6+ tacos?? I suppose it'll grow on me, along with my confidence~

Hard same, the transition is hard, but they made it addicting for a reason!!

Take your time, I feel ya. I wanted this new account to be focused on my creative endeavors but then Agent Orange started with his campaign to overwhelm and derailed all plans for the new year. You're doing what you can, and that's enough

Hey just a reminder that it’s not bold or extreme to be anti-genocide. It’s not a stretch to say that anyone writing an executive order criminalizing people for being anti-genocide is a fascist. Anti-genocide does not equate antisemitism & there is no excuse to remove people from their native lands.
