New personal painting. Inspired by the scene in Fantasia that I feel like I’ve built my entire art style and personality around.

I have done everything in power to make it not only easy but rewarding to NOT use ai in my class - grace periods, personal feedback, encouragement making it clear I’m not grading for spelling/grammar/right/wrong. A handful of them are still using it as if I won’t notice and it’s wearing me out, man

Reposting this for obvious reasons. I have much more in common with any Iranian than I do with the American and Israeli pieces of shit trying to annihilate them. Any single Iranian life lost is an entire universe gone; more, a tragedy at a level I cannot personally fathom. This is all I can do.

As a counter to the "what's the point because things will never change" crowd, having current mayors in different cities so clearly challenge the premise that cars are good and necessary for full enfranchisement in society is not a thing that would have happened just a few short years ago.

Yesterday's storm chase along the TX/OK border didn't play out as I had hoped, but that's not too surprising for early season setups. Still, there's almost always at least a bit of a consolation prize. This struggling storm painted by the setting Sun was yesterday's. #Photography
A photo of a large cumulonimbus cloud over a flat, grassy landscape during sunset. The cloud displays vibrant shades of orange and yellow illuminated by sunlight, contrasting with darker gray clouds below and a blue sky above. Zooming in above the towering storm, you'll see a planet flying from left to right.

Rivers are living beings.
A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi. Fisk used aerial photos and maps to estimate the past and then-present channels.

The first photo I captured of the 9-23-23 Ada, OK supercell (after a few test shots). Yes, all three lightning strikes were captured in a single image! From my distant vantage point, this intricately-structured supercell gracefully danced under a sky full of stars with unmatched beauty. #Photography
Photograph of a dramatic pancake-stack layered supercell thunderstorm with multiple bright lightning bolts striking the surface around the impressive towering updraft looming over a rural landscape. In contrast to the illuminated cloud structure, a deep blue starry night sky is visible on the left.

Found an additional graphic that gets even more of these quotes together. I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
Image of Charles Darwin quotes, with the recipient of the letter and the date the letter was written. He said "I hate every wave of the ocean" to W.D. Fox on 15 February 1836, "Oh my God how I do hate species and varieties" to J.D. Hooker in 11 March 1858, "I am very tired, very stomachy, and hate nearly the whole world" to Thomas Huxley on 10 September 1860, "I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything" to Charles Lyell on 1 October 1861, "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" to John Lubbock on 3 September 1862, and "I am languid and bedeviled and hate writing and hate everybody" to J.D. Hooker on 23 June 1863.

The word armadillo is borrowed from Spanish and simply means “little armored one.” But an even better word for an armadillo, in my opinion, is the Nahuatl ayotochtli. It means “turtle rabbit.”

Something you almost certainly won’t see in the national news is how many tiny protests are all over the Twin Cities today. They’re at stoplights. Parks. Bridges. Just everywhere. And people walking by are joining in. The solidarity is so deep. It’s beautiful and brave. I love this city.

Spooky shrooms 🍁👻🎃
A collage of four spooky, moody mushroom photos.
1: A mushroom (possibly hare’s foot inkcap) with a conical dark grey cap covered in whitish fibrous speckles and a slanted white stalk.
2: A mushroom with a wet orange cap and tiny knob and pale orange stem grows from dark rotting wood.
3: Five elongated upright, club-shaped, black fungi (dead man’s fingers) arise out of a dark rotting log.
4: A cluster of candlesnuff fungi, erect and elongated black branches with a grayish middle and twisted whitened tips.
