Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

This is Autumn. She was born without one paw. Gets along just fine with three, but still sometimes uses a prosthetic leg when she wants to blend in. 13/10
a small dog wearing a black and orange bandana, collar, and leash sits on a leafy dirt path and looks up at us with large brown eyes. she's white with brown spots on her ears and eyes. she has brown speckles on her left paw, and her right paw is actually a bright orange webbed duck foot. she likes to have fun with her prosthetics.

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes?! 🤯 Hi, I'm a nest researcher 👋 and new here on BlueSky, sharing the craziest #bird nests I've ever found. 👀 Today, I’m sharing my discovery of rebellious birds that build nests out of anti-bird spikes. And honestly, it's like telling a joke... A thread. 🧵

This is Roger. After collapsing in his foster home, he spent 3 nights in the ER and was given a life expectancy of just a few months. His human decided to spoil him with some pizza and his mood and health turned around so much that his doctor believes his heart murmur is no longer a concern ❤️‍🩹
Roger with an open mouth prepares to chomp down on a slice of pepperoni pizza that's as big as his head. an image of Roger sitting on a gray surface next to a screen that shows his ultrasound.

I tried (and failed) to get Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi to explain his new game, to a T, to me. instead, I had one of the most fun, baffling interviews I've ever done www.wired.com/story/katama...
It’s a game about a teenager who’s stuck as a T-pose and trying to figure out where the T-pose is coming from. It’s a game about—umm. [Long pause] Do I need to explain? [Another long pause] No. [Laughs]

That’s fair. Who is this character? How would you describe them?

A teenager, 13-years-old, female or male, whatever I mean, I don’t care—stuck in a T-pose, for some reason.

What makes T the perfect pose?

Because it’s perfect! You are perfect. I think it’s just perfect.

Before COVID-19, Beck Levy was a hardcore punk rock performer. Now, she has severe #LongCOVID and has watched her place in the world creep away from her. This week at The Sick Times, read Beck’s essay about what it feels like when your subculture leaves you behind. bit.ly/3V0KJBv
A stylized green and purple rendering of a photo of Beck Levy performing before COVID-19. The text reads, “THE SICK TIMES: Missing the gig: When your subculture leaves you behind with Long COVID. By Beck Levy.” A black background white white text and purple accents reads, "I thought our deal was fuck the state, we’ll do it our way. I found myself slipping through the subcultural safety net that exists for outcasts who are slipping through the cracks of mass culture and late capitalism. - Beck Levy, Missing the gig: When your subculture leaves you behind with Long COVID."

I spent almost 2 hours painstakingly copying the orbits of all 128 Saturnian moons from the announcement MPEC and reformatting them for visualization... Behold, here are the orbits of ALL 128 MOONS OF SATURN. This isn't just a moon system—it's a literal asteroid belt around Saturn! 🧪🔭☄️
Saturn's outer moon system viewed from the north pole of Saturn. Moons orbiting in clockwise (retrograde) orbits have red-colored orbits while moons orbiting counterclockwise (prograde; in the direction of Saturn's spin) are colored blue. With so many irregular moons occupying the same region and intersecting each other, the irregular moon system looks like a donut-shaped vortex surrounding Saturn.

Each of the 128 new moons is highlighted in the diagram with a white point representing their location, and a brighter-colored orbit. Previously-known moons of Saturn are included in the diagram, but are colored darker.

The regular moons of Saturn are colored turquoise and the outermost regular moons (Titan, Hyperion, and Iapetus) labeled with their name.

At the lower left corner are scale indicators to help visualize the scale of Saturn's irregular moon system. A small gray circle at the left left corner is shown to represent the diameter of the Earth-Moon orbital distance. A linear scale bar is labeled "10 million km" (6.2 million mi) to give a standard distance.View of Saturn's irregular moon system, tilted at an angle to show the toroidal belt-like shape of the system. Each moon is labeled with their names in turquioise. Red orbits = retrograde direction, and blue orbits = prograde direction. Turquoise curves closer to the center are orbits of Saturn's regular moons.Side view of Saturn's irregular moon system, tilted at an angle to show the toroidal belt-like shape of the system. Red orbits = retrograde direction, and blue orbits = prograde direction. Turquoise curves closer to the center are orbits of Saturn's regular moons.

The irregular moons of Neptune (dark green) are also visible in the background to the right of Saturn. The horizontal red line protruding right of Saturn is the orbit path of Saturn.

My mom found requested a custom spoon rest for her kitchen, and here's how it turned out! 🦅🌼✨ The nice thing about being able to make things is you can make whatever you want, however you want. ✨💖 #art #pottery
A spoon rest done using more rectangular, square-like shapes vs the standard round. The design is painted with black and orange underglazes, finished with a clear glaze, and features my signature California Poppy motif bordering my barn swallow motif in the center, and one on the stem of the spoon rest.
