Digital painting of a miniature elephant standing at the edge of a forest. The head of the elephant is a white vanilla flower, and its tusks are brown vanilla pods. It is staring straight at the viewer.
Finished yesterday's #MutationMarch prompt. Miniature elephant, er, vanillephant.

My mom has been doing this for years. Luckily I was able to move out in 2024
then again musky-boy did basically say "some of you may die, which is a sacrifice i'm willing to make' if he got his way, so what was i expecting
alright, I'm ready to ask--the hell was the news yesterday, how fucked were we before the freeze was blocked, and how fucked are we now
Jericho, white and dark tabby cat, lays on his back exposing his belly as he reaches for purple crochet squid toy
Jericho laying on his side and giving a BIG stretch in the empty bathtub
Jericho puts his head close to inspect my yarn (bulky size pink white and purple, unraveled because I had to frog a row because of a mistake lol)
Close of me and Jericho as Jericho lays on my chest as I’m lying on my bed. Both his and my eyes are squeezed closed in contentment
Last month I got a cat. He is a ten month old big baby named Jericho. He likes to hunt toys and sit on me for pets. Sometimes he helps me write or crochet by sitting on my keyboard or yarn. I love him so much

Dana Nessel, a woman in a blue jacket looks directly at camera with her mouth open and an intense expression, holding her hand up to show her wedding ring
MI AG Dana Nessel to SCOTUS: “You can pry this wedding band from my cold dead gay hand.”
Orbital a novel by Samantha Harvey. Jamie Quatro says “A radiant explosion of a novel.” Blurry vibrant planets and light rings on a cover with a warm color screen
Sometimes a book is written so beautifully it’s hard to get through.
Orbital is my fourth “perfect” book of the year.

I am a simple man. Every morning I say, ‘well, it’s time to Duo my Lingo’, and everything is just fine
I’m not into men, but I’m sure you look smoking to those of the appropriate orientation with your muscles and chest hair and whatnot. Good for you 🤣
“Non-lethal” rubber bullet blinds a journalist in one eye, leads to blindness in the second, and causes dementia and now fatal traumatic brain injury.
To be clear: a rubber bullet fired AT her HEAD, while she was flashing journalist credentials and not close to protestors or police.
Fatally shot.
Horrifying. I followed her back on Twitter, but I had no idea until now that the injury expanded beyond just the one eye
#Booksky Your reminder that the #PrideStoryBundle is full of awesome queer books from amazing queer authors like @julietk.bsky.social, @mcmanlypants.bsky.social, @blueterraplane.bsky.social, @sarahpinsker.bsky.social, @deeholloway.bsky.social and more! Plus one great cause!

A pride flag with every color band represented by a NASA image. White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.
I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️🌈💖
My biggest pet peeve I encounter on Blusky is people not understanding what AI is
(hint: it existed before ChatGPT and is powering your Discover tab on this very website!)
I missed the ‘was a youth’ part while reading and my brain totally went with a grown man hid a kitten under the bed he presumably shares with his partner 🤣🤣
