BEHOLD!! Many interdimensional portals lately occurring in my neighborhood! Treats for eyes, ears, & brain. @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social's Curious Events... (Blackwells does free shipping to Aotearoa) and @mike-kay.bsky.social's new tunes (track 6 def a portal). Thanks for your work, creative people!

A copy of Tom Cox's new book, Curious Events Lately Occurring in this Neighbourhood, is held up to the breaking sun while a couple of daffodils wonder what all the excitement is about, only because they haven't read his other stuff yet.

Computers used to scream out in pain when we connected to the internet. This was a warning and we did not heed it.

Much like the mayfly (Ephemeroptera), the cinnamon roll (Tastius Pastrius), has an expected lifespan of only 5 minutes. Unfortunately for this poor creature, it enters the world fully self-aware, entirely comprehending its fate.

At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22. Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have … enough.”

1930's Mutoscope, a coin-operated, single-viewer motion picture device originally developed in the 1890s. It operates on the principle of a mechanical flipbook, using a hand-cranked reel of sequential photographic cards to produce a moving image viewed through a peephole. IG: @orbmagazineofficial

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Happy southern Spring to all who celebrate. Or Happy-light-dusting-of-snow-on-Otago-Peninsula, if that more your thing. It's OK to be a bit bruised, or 'windswept and interesting' as my Mum might say. 🌻

Many early films created at the beginning of the 20thc were made in colour and one of the first careers in film production for artistic women was hand painting in film-colouring workshops #WomensArt

🎵 Happy birthday to me / Even though it's already been / Life's just too short not toooo / Happy birthday to me. 🎵 About NZ$30 is actually very reasonable for a portable interdimensional portal.

This is Bonggu. His human took this "embarrassing" pic of him napping. Even shared them with us to humiliate him. Jokes on them though because he's still very handsome. 13/10 (IG: hi_bbomabbong_2)

bonggu, a black and tan dachshund, lies tucked under a black blanket with his head resting on a pillow. his eyes are closed, his tongue sticks out slightly, and his tiny front teeth peek through as he naps on his back.
