We are in the middle of spooky month, so let's talk about a famous costume: the Plague Doctor. With its bird like mask and dark robes it is an iconic design, but let's be clear, it is not medieval, at all. It comes from a 17th century engraving of a physician, and it is part of a satirical book.

Copper engraving of "Doctor Schnabel" (Doctor Beak), a plague doctor in 17th Rome, with a satirical poem. By Paulus Fürst (c. 1656)

Fun fact, before North America adapted the use of Jack-o'-lanterns in the 19th century, it is believed that the custom started in Ireland and the British Islands, as a way to ward off evil spirits, representing them. And instead of pumpkins they were carved out of turnips or beets.

An art poster mimicking the Rodachenko poster for books except instead of Lilya Brik yelling for Books, it's Bolt the Railway dog yelling for Vectron, an electrical locomotive manufactured by Siemens in common use in central and eastern Europe. In lighter text in Czech is "Táhnout kadžý Vlak" eng: to haul every train.

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

From DISCVR blog's Facebook page, a momma bear & a yearling cub on her back in the shallow water. I think the background has been swapped out, and I can't rule out some AI use there? God, Facebook has become the social media for AI slop : (

The title of the article, which I link below, is "How Bear 89 earned the name Backpack"

There are up to 8,000 species of katydids in family Tettigoniidae, 255 in North America alone. But this hot pink katydid isn't some exotic species, it's a 'morph', a normal genetic color variant. Here's the weird part: this is the DOMINANT color gene in katydids. (📷: Audubon Zoo)

From Audubon Insectarium article (it's behind a paywall), a vibrantly pink katydid, probably fresh from molting, sitting on broad green leaves.

Today I managed to paint for the first time in over a week. 😭 Sat down with my beloved custom sketchbook by @syystuuli.bsky.social and hade some no-pressure fun with the things I love: moss, shrooms, texture, and, of course, glowy things. ✨ #TraditionalArt #MixedMedia #Moss #Mushrooms

A photo of an open, black paper sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and green coloured paper, and surrounded by paint brushes, paint tubes, coloured pencils, a branch, leaves, crystals, and hag stones. The sketchbook page features four little mixed media paintings of mossy shapes with different textures above and below, and tiny purplish mushrooms growing on them. The shapes are, vaguely: a sphere, a claw, a sickle moon, and a cocoon.
