Enormously proud to announce that Atsushi Kaneko's SEARCH AND DESTROY VOL 1 (based on Dororo by Osamu Tezuka) has been nominated for an Eisner Award in the manga category. We're proud to have worked with @fantagraphics.bsky.social to bring this title to North American fans.

Started writing chapter 1 of book 2 of my new series. Will be alternating with final polish of book 1 but feels so fabulous!

Beautiful!

Small, perky snail with head poking out between its two shells. The snail has a pair of long, tubular tentacles. The shells are like clam shells, except they are vivid green. The hinge is at the top.

In this photo, the snail is lying on its side with the hinge of the two shells pointing towards the camera. The shell and snail are both very bright green. The snail has white blotches on its back.

We’ve looked at snails with one shell and slugs with no shells. Now let’s have a look at a snail with two shells, because Nature laughs at our puny attempts to pigeonhole.

Wow 🤩 One of the reasons that I love microscopy is that we don't really need to tell people why it's cool and how cool it is exactly - just take a look and be amazed and no words needed. 🧪🔬

‘“Nature has its way of taking out the weak and the not so well and the injured. The eagle likely thought it would be able to take it out quite easily,” Sequeira [the Ontario-based photographer] said. “But, it wasn’t.””

Now with the complete thread about this wild illustration from an even wilder 16th century fanfic!

This is a beautiful. I love lucky imaging in astronomy. It's the kind of approach that seems so simple and effective (in principle) that when you hear about it for the first time, you wonder why you hadn't already thought of it or already heard about it.

Oracle. Then you can use the movements of the fish for divination.

A tall white stalk in the distance.

Close up of the top of the tall white spot where there is a little pink cone shaped thing with tentacles growing out of the top.

The top of a solitary hydroid that has a large top. It's in the shape of a flower, but pink tentacles in place of petals & a deeper pink center part.

Questions: this is a solitary hydroid stalk; is the little guy at top a new top part that will become like last pic? If so, these things lose their tops & grow news ones?! Where does the one that falls of go? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 788 #AntarcticClimateConnections #MarineLife

A long slender three-tined fork made of silver lies in a museum case. There is a separate piece shaped like the bowl of a spoon that slides on and off of the fork tines using little metal grippy brackets, so it can transform from a spoon to a fork. The handle is shaped like a Roman soldier. it is labeled with a card that says '"German, seventeenth-century, silver. Item number 914C."

It’s time for the RENAISSANCE SPORK!
And the fascinating problems museums face when dealing with objects no one expects. 1/?

Hello #PortfolioDay #artists I'm looking for someone to do some B&W old fashioned 19th-century style storybook/myth illustrations for a book project. If you do anything in these styles, please send me samples!

Surely this image is from The Inferno?

Now I wish I’d said “Clooneyesque.”

Bought syllabub, or home-made? Asking for myself.

I for one am happy to welcome our new neckless overlord and his totally real Canadian girlfriend.

A Hubble Telescope image of the Ant Nebula, which looks like an ant. It includes three blobs like the ant’s segmented body, a protuberance in the end blob resembling mandibles, and streaks somewhat like an ant’s legs.

The Ant Nebula looks more like an ant than Italy looks like a boot.

All the major Aesir gods are disabled so one 100% can’t do Norse fantasy without it! (Odin missing an eye, Tyr a hand, Thor chronic pain from whetstone head injury, Loki maimed mouth, Heimdall prosthetic teeth, Hodr blind, Mimir is a severed head, etc.)

Yes, where?

The bacteria in a cycled aquarium are mostly on surfaces, like the surface of the gravel. You can try putting lots of gravel from the 20 into a new 10, and putting your fish in.
