The running yaga huts of the Roadrunner Coven are considered the highest form of folk magic. Often made of rammed earth, there are many variants, but they will usually contain at least one rounded surface for aerodynamics and a bird or dragon motif. #worldbuilding #dnd #ttrpg #oc #ocsky #art

This is so cute I had to share with alt text.
A collage of two pictures placed one on top of the other. First picture shows a black cat staring up at an inflated Halloween cat decoration. They appear to be confronting each other on a dried lawn speckled with fallen leaves in front of a house. In the second picture, the black cat sits triumphantly on the head of the defeated balloon imposter.

Some goofy gift art for @burgerbro34.bsky.social reminiscent of the paint doodle from before. Made in Paint.
an object head type character of a burger in a red shirt with sunglasses in a moody blue cave with black shadows framing the blue scenery. the style is painterly

Here's a freshly-found Gastonia osteoderm (with a visually helpful plastic Gastonia model) for #FossilFriday out here at Lorrie's Site in eastern Utah. This is the world's largest and most prolific ankylosaur bonebed, with all the specimens we're excavating going to @prehistoricmuseum.bsky.social

Today is not a celebration. It is a day of mourning. It is not a holiday for us. It is a day of reflection and pain. We do not ask for 'Canada' to be in pain with us, the empathies are not for us. We ask to be allowed to grieve without being asked for the bone of our children. We want to be allowed

Digital illustration drawn in a loose sketchy pencil style of four small, generalized sparrow-type birds of no specific species perching in a tangle of branches. Near each bird are words in a hand drawn blackletter style reading ‘Maybe it’ll happen today’.

Penguin Highway would've been a fun movie to recommend wholeheartedly if it wasn't on the sus side of its framing of the kid's crush on the lady. It still made me cry a bit because the penguins were cute, & because of my own headcanons for the sphere's presence beyond bending space & time.

The wild Blue-faced Honeyeaters at Taronga Western Plains Zoo are pretty tolerant of humans as long as you're calm and quiet. #birds
Photo of a Blue Face Honeyeater on a grevillea branch with flower buds. The bird is black and white with a large zone of bare, blue skin around its eyes, and a stout curved beak in grey and black. It is looking to the side.Another Blue-faced Honeyeater (or maybe the same?) in the same grevillea plant with an open flower that is red and yellow. The bird has its head tilted and is looking at the viewer warily.Same subject, close-up crop, it is now drinking from and looking at the flower. The photo is highly detailed, showing the physical structure of the bird's iris.

It bums me out that there isn't more Paleolithic rock art of cave hyenas, especially considering they were all over the place. So I made some myself.

It bears repeating. The online world is a ginormous city where everyone is in masquerade. Even people who seemingly post everything, are probably not posting every-everything. Nor should they.

IT IS DONE! Hopefully my smallest niece will be able to enjoy it before she outgrows it! #fiberarts #knitting
A knitted toddler sweater with predominantly dark red and cherry red horizontal stripes, with two of the brighter stripes at the extremities being pink. It is largely knitted in stockinette, with garter stitch trim. The stripes are thicker near the top before thinning again. The arms of the sweater are folded in to fit into the frame.The back of the sweater. For some reason I discontinued the bright red stripes near the top. Also slightly visible are the button-up shoulders.

Natural science has been & is an important part of our place in this world. If people lose access to understanding the world around us, we lose a lot more things than I can list off. If this closes down, it wouldn't be the last thing to go, so don't get complacent.

A few nights ago I saw RHPS in full for the first time. I think it's a freezing cold take to say Time Warp is still one of if not the best part of it. Other scenes didn't age well. I knew before of the controversial stuff, but it rests on you differently when you actually see it.
