I will make you feel exactly as weird about this statement as you should. Like, my disapproval will be palpable.
Gizmo the orange Maine Coon cat is on the back of a chair covered by a brown/grey striped throw and looking right of the picture where an unseen window looks out onto the back garden. He’s got his head up and looking intently as the back garden has trees and where there are trees there are birds! His long white whiskers are pointing forwards and his large ears are facing the window listening out for interesting sounds. To the left of Gizmo is the white fur lined hood of mum’s pink Barbie hooded top.
Upstairs with mum and taking a look at the birds in the tree from a higher vantage point! 😸😸🦁🦁 #teamfloof #CatsOfBluesky

Hot take: High Fantasy/ Fantasy genre comics sometimes feel like the "return to the old ways/ things were better like this" vibes. Like I don't think comics should all be MODERN but where is the pizzazz? Make if WEIRD - automatons - spellcasting guns! WHERE IS THE FANTASY?
A post of book recommendations based on the Rainbow After Dark May 2026 theme. Twenty books in four rows: the first and fourth row have six book covers which stretch across the entire width of the graphic. Rows two and three have four books with two on each side. In the middle of these is a black background. A Rainbow After Dark logo is at the top. Text below reads “May 2026 Taking One for the Team Recs” in all caps. All text is in white font, except for “Taking One for the Team” which is in ice blue neon text.
🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows! It’s time for our recommendation post for the next RAD box!
Here are twenty books that we think also fit the May theme of Taking One for the Team. 🧵
An artist reveal for one of the May books. A quartet of illustrations arranged in quadrants of the graphic. Surrounding the graphic is a muted green-light pink ombre striped border. In the center it reads “Artist Spotlight: @pauhami.bsky.social”. Artist Spotlight is in black font while the handle is in forest green font.
🌈 Hey Reading Rainbows! It’s time for our next artist reveal for the May Knights in Shining Armor crate! Next up is Pauliina @pauhami.bsky.social who illustrated the endpapers for Young King Arthur & the Round Table Knights by Cara Aisling! 🧵
A graphic with a black brick wall with a red and gold pennant banner hanging on the wall. Text on the banner reads “Knights in Shining Armor” in yellow medieval font. “Shining” has a glow effect on it. At the top is "Rainbow Crate" with a rainbow in between the words and "presents" underneath. At the very bottom it reads "- May 2026 Theme -" in all caps.
Noble and sweet, Chivalrous and true…Get ready for epic adventures that feature knights in shining armor here to test their mettle and protect the ones they love.
The Rainbow Crate team is pleased to reveal that our May 2026 theme is…
🗡️ KNIGHTS IN SHINING ARMOR 🛡️

I do think "Avoid giving money to someone who will use that money to harm minorities, whose product is one fiction franchise out of literally thousands" is kind of a reasonable ask. Like it's not even activism, it's "don't actively contribute to harm."
