For Mermay, behold the boobtopus! Here a rather young specimen. (I'll be posting a bunch of MerMay related images in the coming weeks, a lot of them will contain nude breasts, if you don't want to see them I recommend you mute my #MutantMaids tag.) #MerMay #MutandMaids #nudity #breasts

a square format cartoon of an octopus-like creature looking directly at the viewer, but instead of tentacles it has breasts. it sits in the middle of the image surrounded by a lot of white space. titled "young boobtopus"

I apologize in advance but the more scary it becomes to look for work off the books the more I have to plug my Patreon :/ $2 a month gets you lots of text, $5 gets you texts and audio. It’s a pretty good deal imo! www.patreon.com/fucktheory

All design that holds, all form that persists, arises from field-conditioned feedback, not from projection.

very early spring tapestries made of wild plum blossoms and overcast skyes #bloomscrolling #photography

closeup of a twig of wild plum blossoms. They are white, have five petals each, a little pink accent towards the middle and yellow dots at the ends of their stigmas and stamens. The photo was taken on an overcast day, and the white of the petals merges with the white of the sky showing through in the out of focus background

a similar view as the last image, but zoomed out a bit more, showing more of the blossoms at once, and increasing the slightly disorienting effect of how the foreground and background merge

the ornamental quince maybe two weeks ago, before the sun came out #bloomscrolling #photography #pink

a closeup of a part of an ornamental quince bush in early bloom, showing an image cris-crossed by dark grey-brown twigs, a few still small green leaves, and dotted by the very pink blossoms and buds

a similar view as before, but this one focusing more on one particular blossom, and how it plays off against the pink dots of other out of focus blossoms in the background

winter tapestries. winter was such a long time ago! #photography

a misty valley in winter, showing a frosted meadow and some bare shrubbery through the out of focus branches of some more bare shrubbery. an image in various shades of gray

branches and twigs of a group of bare trees on a misty, frosty day making abstract dark patterns against a light ground. some green moss on the branches is the only saturated color

the frosty crown of a small tree seen against a darker gray background

very early spring tapestries, already turning green as I post this #photography #bloomscrolling #spring

a view of the space where two blossoming plum trees meet, a sea of white blossoms and black branches on a grey overcast day

similar to the previous image, but the green horizon line a bit more clearly to make out behind the trees

similar to the previous image, but focusing on only one of the trees

again similar to previous images, but focusing on the other of the two trees

the world: "..." me: "did you know that tulips are pretty? No? Here let me show you!" #bloomscrolling #tulip #photography

closeup of a yellow and orange tulip seen from above, focused on the tips of its petals, with its dark insides visible but out of focus, and the ground and foliage below in shadow and out of focus. it is hit by bright low morning sun coming from the right side of the image. its stigma is visible as a dark yellow shape inside

by the time I am posting this everything is looking very different again already #bloomscrolling #photography #spring #buds

closeup of budding shoots on a twig of a fruit tree on an overcast day, an image in muted greys, greens and browns and some yellow from the lichen on the twigs

closeup of flower buds on a similar twig

the first of the tulips at dawn, in the morning sun, later as the day went on #bloomscrolling #tulips #photography

closeup of a pink tulip flower in soft blueish light, still closed, in front of blue-green foliage

closeup of a pink tulip flower in bright sunlight coming from the left, flower still closed, in front of out-of-focus green foliage and some shadows on a road. The shadows of the tulip petals on each other are a deep pinkish orange.

the same tulip now fully open, showing its deep dark orange insides, black markings and stamens, and yellow stigma

I am really looking forward to when the tulips are going to come in and release me from all this yellow posting. Forsythias also pretty though :3 #bloomscrolling #photography #forsythia

closeup of a twig of forsythias in bright sunlight in front of an out of focus background of more forsythias, twigs, and bits of blue sky beyond

closeup of a different twig of forsythias in bright sunlight in front of an out of focus background of more forsythias and a lot of dark shadow areas

closeup of a single yellow forsythia in bright sunlight in front of an out of focus background of more forsythias, twigs, and large areas of intensely blue sky. the orange pattern inside the forsythia is clearly visible

how do photographers ever rest when the light keeps changing in the most delicious ways all day long???? #bloomscrolling #photography #daffodils

the same daffodil as in the previous image, very similar setup, only now the sun has moved and the daffodil is more of a dark shape against a mostly bright background

playinprogress.bsky.social @playinprogress.bsky.social · 21/03/2025

I swear I don't even like daffodils, they are just hardy as fuck and somehow keep sticking around. And what can I do when the light hits that one *just so* #bloomscrolling #photography #daffodils

closeup of a yellow daffodil flower lit by morning sun from the right side, in front of a dark background on the right and light background on the left side of the image

closeup of a yellow daffodil flower lit by morning sun from the right side, seen front on emphasizing its symmetry, in front of an out of focus black and light blue background

the first really cold frosty morning of this winter I discovered these marvelous moss scapes covering the tops of a bunch of fence posts just a stone's throw from my front door #moss #photography

a closeup of the edge of a broad fence post covered with a slight layer of ice crystals and a puff of bright green moss in the back. the light is overcast and even, grey-ish, the photo taken with a large aperture rendering everything other than the front edge out of focus

a closeup of the top of another fence post, seen from a slightly bigger distance than the first, even more covered in green and reddish moss and a breath of ice crystals, as well as some (now iced) spiderwebs spanning dark gaps in the wood

a closeup of the top of another fence post, showing the whole of the top, the left half of which shows the rugged structure of the massive wood of the post, the right half covered in green moss, with a dark chasm between them

Make an economy where being a dirtbag is a viable lifestyle option, and you create a society that, as a side effect, allows people to create cool shit. An economy friendly to dirtbags is friendly to *everyone* with a weird cool hobby.

You can measure an economy's actual, real life, concrete health by: are people able to do their own weird shit? Do they have money to survive doing their weird shit? Do they have the free time to do that weird shit? Fuck the metrics, just look for the dirtbags and artists and musicians and writers

Love this & let's have diversity. But also let's remember that in the proper landscapes you can have the benefits of beech-family trees (important temperate keystone trees for forests and grasslands) the carbon collections AND bring stable food production into large cities, by choosing chestnuts)

Recommendations for starting. Since everybody always starts with the old novels even though they’re amazing I would actually start here especially for modern readers

Cover of the book fisherman of the inland Sea by Ursula K Leguin showing a person in a boat on the water with a gigantic moon illuminating behind them so that they are just a silhouette

Cover of the book the winds 12/4 short stories by Ursula Kay Leguin author of the dispossessed in this there’s a circle divided into four Sections when is the stylized design of an eye with an iris one is a woven image of a person with a book and a fan that resembles a medieval image one is like a nebula with stars and one is a dragon

Book cover the four ways to forgiveness stories rather generic cover just showing a crossroads from the sky with a field and some trees at the crossroads. I’m pretty sure this does not relate to the interior of the book

For new readers of Le guin I highly recommend that if you read this book you continue through the entire series because the first 3 books were written & then she went back and read them and realized that she has so much internalized mysogany The sequels are stunning critiques of her own books

Good Morning Blue Sky! My there are a lot of you now! Hope you're all ok? Today I'm currently reading for the first time The Tombs of Atuan by Ursula K Le Guin.
What are you reading at the moment?

Portlanders: I want to hear more Ursula K Le Guin stories. One of mine is when I got to see her at Powell‘s she started her lecture by saying “when I turned 70 I decided if I was going to learn Latin it better be soon …”
