The Photographer’s Gallery in London has a really great exhibit on Japanese women photographers of the last 70 years. So many interesting names to explore further, I just had to buy the accompanying book.

I’m So Happy You Are Here: Japanese Women Photographers from the 1950s to Now. Cover pictures a sideways photo of a woman’s eye against a large deep blue background.

Not sure who's having more fun here, the birds or the journalist

Screenshot of start of Guardian article:

MASTURBATION AMONG BIRDS IS 'NATURAL' AND SHOULD NOT BE PUNISHED, SAY EXPERTS

Study finds activity is not harmful or caused by stress of capitivity - and is in fact more common in wild birds

(photo of cockatiel with caption: 'I had a pet cockatiel that masturbated all the time' said Dr Chloe Heys, one of the study's authors. Photograph: taviphoto/Getty Images)

An investigation into acts of self-pleasure among parrots and other birds has reached a climax, with the results providing welcome relief for vets and researchers, not to mention the birds themselves.

Really enjoying my games of Dewan on BGA (still in alpha). It's got the ideal turn weight and game state complexity for an asynchronous game for me.

Late-game central board in a three-player game of Dewan. There's six hexagonal tiles, consisting of smaller terrain hexagons. Scattered across them are wooden tents in the player colors.

Got one of the wolf pixels! www.alveussanctuary.org/institute/pi...

Alveus pixel mural (each donation of $100 or more fills in a pixel, annotated with the donor's name) The mural is of a pack of wolves in a night time forest. My pixel is highlighted and is part of one of the wolves.

It looks like the new Mini Rails edition is available at the UK Game Expo. I haven’t seen the final version yet but it should have a rally neat advanced solitaire version.

Display of four Moaideas games: Mini Express Expansion, Mini Rails: Road to Eltonburg, Cargo Empire and Mini Express

Mini Rails: Road to Eltonburg set up on the table. It’s very cute and colorful.
