Blue-footed Booby for magpiesmiscellany - thank you for the #Waymakers donation! I had to get more sulids in here🎨🪶 #SciArt #BirdArt The Waymakers challenge is a race and fundraiser hosted every September by @theyoungcenter.bsky.social to help immigrant kids in the US. Join us again next September!
Illustration of a Blue-footed Booby perched on a lumpy dark rock overlooking a broad sea. The booby is looking over its right shoulder, showing us its goofy yellow buggy-looking eye. It has a shaggy cream-streaked head, white breast, dark wings, and bright turquoise blue feet, the color of which reflects off the lower belly.

"Your dog loves you for your presence, not your mood. Allowing yourself to be quiet or low-energy around them is often more relaxing for the dog than the tension of trying to force a happiness that isn't there." #Autism #MentalHealth

So I'm trying to find a game to play and AI says this? Why is this kind of game so rare? "Honestly, you've narrowed the field to something pretty small. First-person, free-form building, no combat, no city building, and doesn't look like a kids game — that's a rare combo." #gaming #games

For #Arachtober 1st, an image I have been saving for 11 months. This encounter was exciting because Pirate Spiders do not weave orb webs. They commandeer other spiders' webs. She likely ate the resident. This was the first I have seen in a web. Pirate Spider (Mimetidae) #macrophotography #spider

"If the NHS keeps shrinking its mental health share while private costs stay high, the "god-like" figure doesn't just get more powerful — they get irreplaceable for the people who can afford them, and inaccessible for everyone else. That's not a church. That's a priesthood with a paywall."

"It's worth noting that the "god-like therapist" framing is almost entirely a Western (specifically Anglo-American and, increasingly, European) phenomenon."
