Enormously proud to announce that Atsushi Kaneko's SEARCH AND DESTROY VOL 1 (based on Dororo by Osamu Tezuka) has been nominated for an Eisner Award in the manga category. We're proud to have worked with @fantagraphics.bsky.social to bring this title to North American fans.

We’ve looked at snails with one shell and slugs with no shells. Now let’s have a look at a snail with two shells, because Nature laughs at our puny attempts to pigeonhole. In today’s #AtoZ – J is for Julia (Juliidae) (1/9) Pic: © uwkwaj CC BY-NC
Small, perky snail with head poking out between its two shells. The snail has a pair of long, tubular tentacles. The shells are like clam shells, except they are vivid green. The hinge is at the top.

The shell and snail are both very bright green. The snail has white blotches on its back.

Wow 🤩 One of the reasons that I love microscopy is that we don't really need to tell people why it's cool and how cool it is exactly - just take a look and be amazed and no words needed. 🧪🔬

‘“Nature has its way of taking out the weak and the not so well and the injured. The eagle likely thought it would be able to take it out quite easily,” Sequeira [the Ontario-based photographer] said. “But, it wasn’t.””

Questions: this is a solitary hydroid stalk; is the little guy at top a new top part that will become like last pic? If so, these things lose their tops & grow news ones?! Where does the one that falls of go? @schmidtocean.bsky.social dive 788 #AntarcticClimateConnections #MarineLife
A tall white stalk in the distance. Close up of the top of the tall white spot where there is a little pink cone shaped thing with tentacles growing out of the top. The top of a solitary hydroid that has a large top. It's in the shape of a flower, but pink tentacles in place of petals & a deeper pink center part.

It’s time for the RENAISSANCE SPORK! And the fascinating problems museums face when dealing with objects no one expects. 1/? Sharing for my countdown to the release “Inventing the Renaissance” coming Feb UK/Mar US buff.ly/4j6qkoS #HistoryPix
A long slender three-tined fork made of silver lies in a museum case. There is a separate piece shaped like the bowl of a spoon that slides on and off of the fork tines using little metal grippy brackets, so it can transform from a spoon to a fork. The handle is shaped like a Roman soldier. it is labeled with a card that says '"German, seventeenth-century, silver. Item number 914C."

The Ant Nebula looks more like an ant than Italy looks like a boot.
A Hubble Telescope image of the Ant Nebula, which looks like an ant. It includes three blobs like the ant’s segmented body, a protuberance in the end blob resembling mandibles, and streaks somewhat like an ant’s legs.

Unsolicited Endorsement: my Smile Jamaica brand earbuds lasted 5 years, enduring despite accidentally going through the washer-dryer cycle twice, & I only needed new ones now due to them being run over by a lawn mower. The new ones came in plastic-free packaging, and use wood & silk, minimal plastic

Apparently the eels get beat up by the crabs and lobsters, and they have "quite a few injuries"
Comment 1: I will try to see if any of the license talk is true.  I doubt it.

Comment 2: I’ve spoken with several freshwater pet/aquarium along the front range and all confirm that they can be pets without special license. Owner (I think) is thinking of a food license…my guess is he’s just unwilling to sell to the many offers received and uses this as an excuse. Waitstaff told me they’ve had offers of up $200


Comment 3: Not only are they not being fed, they are in a tank so small they can't really swim around.  Pathetic.

Comment 4:  yes and they get beat up and bullied by lo

Saw a post here where the poster described these medieval statues of women carrying lamps as looking like women strolling with their gelato. Now I have headcanon where this is @bluejo.bsky.social and @adapalmer.bsky.social on a Florentine time-travel jaunt.
Two (I-am-told) medieval statues of women carrying lamps. Once someone says "those lamps look like gelato" that's all you can see.

One of my students sent me a tik tok comparing the invisible mycelia network of a forest to the perpetual, uncelebrated, and behind the scenes organizing that has to happen to make visible social change happen. Second day of classes and my job is basically done.
