My whole thing: recently I’ve been painting sentient plant creatures. Also, I’ve been working on an “alphabetical bestiary” for the last few years (a different mythical creature for each letter)

The movies don't really get into it, but it's worth remembering that Denethor went crazy because he spent too much time doomscrolling on the Palantír and it cooked his brain

A moonbow is like a rainbow, but made in moonlight rather than sunlight.

Because the Moon only reflects a fraction of the Sun's radiance, moonbows are much dimmer & colors are generally only visible in long-exposure photographs, as in this shot of a moonbow over Kihei in Maui.

The Russian folklore monster Cat-Bayun. His beautiful voice lulls you into sleep, and then he kills you with his iron claws.

Artist: Georgiy Semenovic
Black and white print. A sweep of pine forest with owls winging over the treetops. High above towers a wooden stump with fungus growing from its bare sides. Mounted on it like a grim king on his throne is the heftiest, most patriarchally-frowning cat you ever saw, his black talons gripping his perch in readiness for harm.

Once again, I was left to wonder: was Pete Hegseth signal chatting military attack plans to everyone but me??

Am I the one that’s insecure, or is it his communication practices that are insecure?

K is for Kitsune. These are fox spirits from Japanese folklore. They are shapeshifters who often get up to mischief in human form. They get more tails as they get older until they reach their final ultimate form with 9 tails.

Producing this tariffs chart with no alphabetization or numerization is an act of profound madness and indicative of a rot in the soul.

J is for Jenny Greenteeth. She is a water hag from English folklore who will lure children to the waterside and drown them. Lovely!

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

Spider toes 🥹
c0nc0rdance.bsky.social c0nc0rdance @c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · Mar 13
Spiders capable of climbing vertical walls often have specialized furry 'toes' called 'claw tufts’: where thousand of microscopic hairs (setules) protrude from each hair shaft.

This allows the spider to use Van der Waals' force to adhere to any surface. It is also, objectively, cute.
The science of spider paws
Pictures of spider paws have, of late, become popular on social media, eliciting the type of gushing – So cute! – usually reserved for kittens.

I is for Inkanyamba. The Inkanyamba is a water serpent living near the base of Howick Falls, South Africa. It was believed by the locals that its anger caused the summer storms.
