Look at this marvellous seaweed I saw on Djúpalónssandur beach in western #Iceland - like aliens' gloves perhaps!
Some layers of flat seaweed that looks like four-fingered gloves. Under a brown rock. Quite a lot of it. Small pebbles beneath.

I can only hope to be as cool as this octopus one day... 🐙📷Dave Maass (@maassive.bsky.social)
A Larger Pacific striped octopus standing in a tank with two arms with its suckers visible. It is leaning on a plastic tube with two of its arms, and its striped mantle is drooping down, facing the camera. One arm is reaching back behind the mantle and is curled, making it look like the octopus is deep in thought.

Next time you're outside, look a little closer at the forest floor, or even a patch of dirt. There's almost always a chance you'll find something wonderfully weird-looking (that's a compliment) — like this Chlorovibrissea melanochlora.

There are fresh nightmares from the past 24 hours. But that should not be a sign to stop giving -- least of all when music efforts were translating into real results on the ground. So I'm putting out this call again. What we need is more international support, including media.

Lebanon's musicians are a model for action - they deserve support now - CDM Create Digital Music
Again and again, music communities in Lebanon have embraced mutual aid and spoken out through activism and in their art. That's been true from experimental music labels to the Beirut Synthesizer Center initiative. They're getting results. It's time for the international music scene and press to do more.

The documentaries I can’t watch are the ones about musicians, artists, all that. In 95% of cases, I find them disastrous, dishonest, completely tailored for storytelling. And the worst part is people swallow it all. It’s really shocking how little reality there is in people’s perception of music.
