I shall not be fact checking this.

That sucks, so much. I'm so sorry you guys had to deal with that. :(

A group of stuffed friends, sitting in a flower bed. Clockwise from top left are Mini MerStede, Tiny Ed, and three crochet aquatic creatures.

Tiny Ed and Mini MerStede love their yarn children.

lil guys! 3 tiny crochet friends of varying aquatic species, sitting in a bed of purple periwinkles. Clockwise from the top are Periwinkle, Ace, And Violet. Are they just named after the colors of the yarn they were made from? Yes. Look, I've had the same screen name since 1993. I'm not good at coming up with names for things.

A fabric bookmark, printed with mermen. Also, two yellow daffodils, because the bookmark looked lonely just...sitting there by itself. I was trying for artsy photography?

A lovely, hand woven lanyard, attached to a badge. The lanyard is in a GentleBeard colorway, and is gorgeous.

Gorgeous butterfly print and stickers, and a cross stitch piece that says "You must outlive them to dance on their graves."

I've started to get #FandomMarket treasures in my mailbox over the last couple weeks. Look at this stuff! Isn't it neat? :D

A large, ring-shaped Lucrehulk-class droid control ship orbits the green and blue planet Naboo, surrounded by several smaller Vulture droids in the dark expanse of space.

Fun fact: many of the prettiest photos taken by robotic spacecraft were similarly framed ahead of time by humans using simulators of view geometry to pick when the spacecraft should shoot the photo. Case in point: this photo of Europa over Jupiter from New Horizons science.nasa.gov/image-detail...

Bunnies in a raft pull up next to a spaceship capsule, which has just splashed down and is floating in the open sea. Visible in the capsule, two bunnies wave at the ones in the boat.

Daily bunny no.3285 made it home safely

If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

almost splashdown on the tracking tool 10 seconds later, the website was closed. Logical but too bad, it was fun :)

Parachutes slowing Integrity under the blue sky.

The AROW tracking website wants us to wait for Artemis III.

Kudos to NASA for the YouTube livestream that took us right up to the very last second behind the moon, and for the awesome tracking tool. I can’t wait to spend another ten days or so following Artemis III 😇

And congratulations to all the engineers, scientists, pilots, and everyone else involved. 🖖

✅ #Artemis II splashdown at 01:07 BST/02:07 CEST!

Grayscale image of the capsule under the parachutes, which look silvery. The capsule is glowing brilliantly along the bottom where the heat shield took the brunt of the atmospheric beating.

Love this shot. I think this is a thermal infrared camera, showing how the bottom of the capsule is still glowing due to its warmth after hypersonically ramming the atmosphere — compressing a gas heats it up a LOT when you're moving at superorbital speeds.

A big splash in the ocean under the three red and white parachutes

Splashdown!

Welcome home, Integrity.

3 good main chutes, good reefing, good descent rate

I'm so sorry. 🫂🫂

It lives! I assumed it was shredded in a sorting machine somewhere. 😂

(also, I just zoomed in on the art with legs and got a good look at everything going on, and that is delightful!)
