Meet the Solar Powered Sea Slug, Costasiella kuroshimae aka The Leaf Sheep 🔋🌿
It's a super rare animal that utilises photosynthesis via kleptoplasty.
By absorbing chloroplasts from its food, it creates its own energy from light. An amazing creature that blurs the line between animal and plant! 🌱🐌

Please enjoy 50 seconds of a former colony cat learning how to play with toys.

(Video description: Setzer, a grey and white tuxedo cat, one hind leg recently amputated, tentatively bats and makes some tiny pounces at a white toy mouse, rolling over to paw at it while laying on his side, purring).

In other news, our PM has once again proven himself to be a useless ineffectual coward by supporting the illegal attacks on Iran. Honestly, why is Albo?? #Auspol

Albanese says Australia supports US action against Iran and stands with the Iranian people’s ‘struggle against oppression’ Department of foreign affairs warns travellers of risk of reprisal attacks, further escalation and flight cancellations in Middle East

JFC
Albanese thumbing his nose at international law and showing himself to be the pathetic coward we know him to be
Maybe he is just a sadistic cunt too? Enjoying the idea of murdering people that he does not know and who have done nothing to him

Just reading that Albanese backs this bullshit aggression.
The ALP has lost my vote.
Forever.
Blame that bloated sparf-bag and his merry cabinet, and your Sydney right decision makers, and your election planners whom also work for Tories.
Fuck all y'all.

Beautiful aurora last night on Maia’s aurora tour in Fairbanks, Alaska—the cloud forecast was 100% and for three guests, this was their last night here after three nights of snowstorm. This was a great first aurora for them and now they can go home successful!

Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.

It's #waterfallwednesday. This beautiful little falls was tucked up in the woods just off a trail that leads to Sol Duc Falls in Olympic National Park. I had been told where it was by a friend and was able to find it. #photography #landscape #EastCoastKin #waterfalls #nikon

This vibrant photo captures a sweeping perspective of Pier 34 at Hudson River Park in Manhattan, looking toward the Holland Tunnel ventilation tower and the Jersey City skyline.
The foreground is dominated by the walkway of the pier, which curves gracefully toward the centre of the image. The concrete surface is bathed in bright, warm sunlight, casting long, dramatic shadows from the white-painted metal railings that line the left side. These railings, with their repeating vertical posts and mesh panels, create a strong sense of leading lines and rhythmic patterns. To the right, several modern white streetlamps with curved arms stand at regular intervals, their own shadows stretching across the walkway alongside those of the railings.
In the middle ground, the walkway leads the eye toward the distinctive, boxy structure of the Holland Tunnel ventilation tower. This tan, industrial building stands prominently on the pier, its dark, vertical windows contrasting with its solid facade. Beyond the pier and the tower, the deep blue waters of the Hudson River sparkle under the clear sky, creating a stark horizontal division in the composition.
The background features the modern skyline of Jersey City, with various glass and steel skyscrapers rising against a pale, sun-drenched horizon. The buildings are rendered in soft blues and greys, adding depth and scale to the scene. The sky above is a brilliant, cloudless blue, transitioning to a hazy, golden hue near the horizon where the sun is positioned, though out of frame.
Small details, such as people sitting on benches along the right side of the pier, add a human element and a sense of peaceful urban activity. The overall colour palette is a striking mix of the warm oranges and tans of the concrete and buildings, the cool blues of the water and sky, and the crisp white of the railings and lamps, all enhanced by high-contrast lighting that emphasises the architectural geometry and texture of the location.

The sun-drenched curves of Pier 34 lead the eye toward the stoic Holland Tunnel tower, set against a glowing New Jersey skyline
