Page 13 of Backscratcher. This is probably my favorite page in the entire story. #furrycomic #NandavanamHouse

Everyone has their own particular reaction to Aransas the whitetail buck losing an antler. Jinga finds it particularly funny while both Sudarsini is shocked--even a bit horrified. Walter the bear is astounded and exclaim something about a wishbone in German. Sinh is wondering for a moment just what happened. Aransas explains he is shedding his antlers a few weeks early. Nothing to be worried about. He gifts the shed antler to Sinh, explaining that his kind sees keeping their own antlers as an act of vanity.

Aw, some great conservation news! Aldabra tortoises are doing better than they were! Nature will heal if we give it a little space. It is possible for humans and our fellow species to thrive together on this planet.

Alexander Skarsgård turned heads in a metallic gold suit designed by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent during London premiere of ‘Wicker,’ his new film with Olivia Colman. But it's the see-through Saint Laurent vinyl oxfords that have foot fetish fans abuzz. gayety.com/alexander-sk...

The Suit: A metallic-gold single-breasted jacket and matching trousers from Saint Laurent, which Skarsgård wore entirely shirtless.

The Footwear: The transparent, elongated-toe PVC derby shoes (cheekily named the "O.Fan" by the fashion house) debuted on YSL’s Spring/Summer 2027 menswear runway. Skarsgård wore them without socks, putting his bare feet and toes on full display.

Despite being banned in more than 60 countries around the world, we still use so much #atrazine in the U.S. that over a quarter of our rivers and streams are contaminated with a carcinogen. We owe it to our kids and to ourselves to ban atrazine across the country once and for all.

OW! broken edged teeth are no fun on any species! Yeah, I inherited the love of Arabians from my mom, and Shaana is daughter of Tami, a mare we got when I was 9. I wish my mom and I could get on better in some ways, but we have the same taste in horses.

She is doing ok; she is a very old lady with some other issues, but her attitude is great (spicy red mare!) and I'm hoping that with some increased support she'll make it through another few winters.

wellllll she is awfully thin, and has signs of some other medical things going on, so there are issues...but then, she is a very old lady. Her attitude is good and honestly still pretty spicy. She is a hot red Arab mare at any age!

Two horse teeth; precious old mares. The first is approximately 2 million years old; the second dropped from a 35 year old mare during dental work. Pretty cool!

A Pleistocene era fossil horse tooth sits on an oak table beside a tooth shed by a geriatric horse. The fossil has much more root; the modern tooth is almost completely worn away

Want to see something cool and kinda horrifying? My mom's mares got their teeth floated yesterday...pony teeth wear to points periodically, and the vet must file them smooth so pony can eat. Wiccan, red, is 35! Shaana, grey, is 20. This vet is a champ, just look at her in pic 2. Fine work!

I don't care if you think it's useful. I could get a lot more done in my life if I just robbed a convenience store or ran a fraud scheme, that would be very useful to me indeed. That doesn't make it morally or ethically right.

It's Wold Octopus Day. Remember to hug your octopus.

O is for Octopus: A screenprint done for a show of alphabet illustrations. A pink-purple octopus posed with its arms all curling around every which way, holding a gold letter 'O' inscribed with a tentacle design. At the bottom there's a human skull nestled within the arms.

CephaLovePod: A screenprint of a red octopus posing with its mantle and arms forming a valentine heart shape. It is wrapped around a harpoon in place of Cupid's arrow.

4 Limbs Bad... 8 Limbs Good.: A screenprint of an orange octopus on the bottom of a sea wrapped around and cradling a broken human femur and a skull. A banner bears the title of the piece.

Octopus Samurai: A screenprint of a pink-ish octopus wearing blue-green Japanese samurai armor and a helmet with a gold crab-shaped crest on the front. The octopus holds a katana in one arm, a wakizashi in another, and a naginata with two other arms.

In the shallow sea over late #Cretaceous Europe, A pair of Mosasaurus lemonnieri begin to rip apart a subadult Phosphorosaurus ortliebi they’ve just caught. Inspired by a brand new study on a bonebed of this noodly Mosasaurus, which also revealed the new #mosasaur genus Thoraxion! #sciart #paleoart

A pair of long-bodied, bright yellow and tan colored Mosasaurus lemonnieri swim parallel to each other, one upright and one swimming on its side just below it, with a much smaller Phosphorosaurus held in both of their toothy jaws.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass! #Roman dove-shaped vessels were used as perfume bottles. The liquid was sealed inside and the tip of the tail or the beak had to be broken to remove the perfume. This particular example, discovered in a first-century burial at Rovasenda, Italy, is...🧵1/2 🏺
