Clara, the rescued sea otter, is showing off her lightning-fast tippy-tappies! Those speedy paws aren’t just adorable; they’re a natural skill sea otters use to crack open hard-shelled snacks like clams and crabs, using rocks as tools. Smart, speedy, and seriously cute. #SeaOtterAwarenessWeek

I'd say that you can't force yourself to recover from burnout. I've found that shifting to an entirely new medium — one you're starting with no skills — works wonders. I learned to 3D model and program with Skyrim mods. Now I'm writing novels. As creatives we heal by creating but sometimes we need

You're so creative and resilient. What would you say to a grizzled ils grand dev who swears she used to have a creative spark but can't seem to find it anymore? I mean aside from, you're depressed, dummy (we all know that describes like 80% of us)

The leaping blenny hops from rock to rock, and can launch itself through the air up to 50 times its body length. You can find them in tide pools, on rocky coasts, and, starting November 7, you’ll be able to see leaping blennies in action at our all-new Ocean in Motion/La Danza del Mar exhibit.

Attempting to frame these bigots like they’re brave pragmatists breaking from some kind of stalwart trans-affirming norm is the type of enormous lie where the ground should open up to pneumatic-tube you directly to hell.

On 1000xRESIST loving the telling and not just the story:

Q: Ok but more seriously; what’s the thing you’d most want players to take away from the game? I ask because it’s such a thematically dense game that also keeps kind of folding in on itself in its narrative, and you can read the text in so many different ways from the super personal biographical angle to the really big existential questions. I was wondering if there’s a theme or idea that you’d like to highlight as something especially important to you.

Answer from Sunset Visitor:

So, I think yes, there are many themes and things that it's hard for us to say one thing.

Instead, I will say, what is important to me -- I really hope players come away with the feeling that the game itself loves stories and loves the way stories can be told, and that it and we are RESTLESS in the ways we want to try and tell them.

I also really hope people feel the sense of love we have for games, in the way we told these stories.

I often said internally, this is a narrative game that has played and loved a lot of games, and is excited about them.

That we are always just searching for a moment that we can collectively, as the player and as the maker, look out at a kind of unknown horizon together at the possibility and unpredictability of what could happen next. I think we're always searching for that internally.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.
