As someone who was just perusing the Higher Ed job boards today this is so discouraging 😩

Lauren @green-circles.bsky.social · 24/02/2025

Going through the #petgrief tag, reading other people’s stories. My beloved dog passed away on Friday, unexpectedly. It is so hard to think about the fact I will never see him again… never have him beg for food again, or chase his tennis balls, or carry his lamby up to bed with him 💔

The adorable Malayan tapir calf that was born Sunday night continues to nurse and bond with mom behind the scenes. Mom and baby are both doing well and we will announce the sex and name soon. Sound on to hear tiny tapir chirps.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Almost there.

Driving with an icy windshield is an affront to safety AND to the aesthetic.

Woke up this morning with this guy on my mind and thought "I simply must cross stitch him" and so, hours later, here he is.

A cross stitch of convicted master felon and antagonist of Wallace and Gromit: Feathers McGraw. He is a plasticine penguin, wearing a red rubber glove as a cap to deceive people into thinking he is an innocent chicken when he is in fact a very evil and criminal penguin.

a brown dachshund is a loaf on a cream-colored sofa. none of his legs or paws are visible. he appears to be biting the corner of his lip, perhaps nervous that he's misplaced all four legs at once.
