Also, all this “frontier AI” nomenclature is so laughably colonialist that it has to be on purpose. 🙄

It’s so weird how these rich people can’t get around town without their small dick energy Porsches or whatever, driving 80mph down small streets 🤷‍♀️ oh well. Safer for the rest of us

Awww poor things. Love shieldbugs. Here’s a hairy shieldbug I found last year in my local stomping grounds. Pretty things 😍

A photo of a shieldbug in grass not very well camouflaged - it’s got a burgundy body with some green in the middle, and stripy sides and antennae.

No way I can compete with the major poetry publishers who get collections stocked by bricks-and-mortar bookshops But I do have word of mouth and all you wonderful people here on Bluesky, pushing the numbers of readers of Whatever You Do, Just Don't far beyond the sales of the big boys. Thank you!

Did you know before I turned my hand to weird fantasy and horror that I wrote a classic mystery series featuring a wise guy reporter, the love of his life, and a lot of nods to the great noir detective films of the 40s and 50s? I'm running a special itchio bundle: all 3 books for $3! A buck a book!

I’d start a discourse in stew versus soup and then start babbling about cooking stones. Not sure why, but I’m hungry again

them one. I also wouldn’t care if they came in jeans. Interviewing is such an arduous thing, and interviewees are usually nervous af. I’d rather they felt comfortable so we could have a good chat about the job, their experience etc.

It’s an asshole thing. But maybe a boomer/gen x thing too. I dunno. I’m Gen X and I remember interviewing for a job in the 90s in a pair of trousers. Apparently that was a no no. Still got the job 🤷‍♀️ I’ve done a lot of hiring and wouldn’t care is someone brought in a drink. I’d also be offering

SciArt September, Day 24: Down. One of my favorite birds, herons, have powder down feathers. These grow continuously in strategic areas of the body (like the chest) and the tip breaks down into a fine, talcum-like powder that the birds use to clean their feathers, much like a dry shampoo. 🐡🎨

Ink drawing of a regular down there vs powder down feather with text explaining how they differ.

I took a course in American literature. We read a lot of literature by Black women, inc Frances Harper. I’d never heard of her til then - massive gap in both my previous history and English lit education. Massive. The woman on the cover, Elise Forrester Harleston, is also amazing.

80 hours of embroidery! This aerial landscape is directly inspired by Dartmoor and I'd say I have another 30-ish hours to go? I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art

Today’s BotD theme set by Helen is The Divers. Here’s a Cormorant, well, diving! Taken in London a few weeks ago #BirdOfTheDay #TheDivers #Birds #Wetlands

A photograph of a cormorant diving into the water. All that is visible is the tips of his tail feathers and tail, dark grey against the deep green of the lake water. The water surface is rippled and water is displaced, with water droplets everywhere.

Changes in guidance and science seem to have little impact on millions of devastated lives. It’s a social crisis playing out behind closed doors, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

This kitty just got lipglossed by the kiddo. I’m not sure she’s happy 😬 If we had skunks in this country, she may be happier with the lippy kisses than the human who got skunked kisses. Poor you and poor kitty!

A photo of a tuxedo kitty, sitting and facing the camera. She is mostly white on her chest and face and is currently sporting a reddish splotch on her forehead. She is looking at me and blaming me for the kiddo’s kiss. Help!

I hate doing this, but here’s a Daily Mail link. They had the most complete clip that I could find. And it’s no less weird. I’m guessing there was a heated discussion in the green room prior or something…
