🧠 Alzheimer’s reversed in mice
A new study found that injecting nanoparticles can 'remind' the blood–brain barrier to function properly again, restoring normal brain activity in mice. Human trials could follow within years.

A year of photos day nine - soft friends. Theres this expectation when you grow up to stop having plushies and other soft things in your life. However, as this is a stupid idea, i ignore it. This is my capybara. Whats your closest soft toy?

A year of photos day seven - faces. Isnt it amazing how we see faces in everything around us? Clouds, plants, random things. Of course, it helps if theres a wife with eye stickers too sometimes!

A year of photos day six - listen. My headphones get used a lot. Sound to help me block out other sound, sound to help me focus, sound to help me hear friends on the far side of the world. There's so much to listen to!

A year of photos day five - above. When I was young I used to look at patterned ceilings like this and try and read hidden words or see math equations in the bumps.

A year of photos day four - light. Drizzle on the way home from work, a light by a charging station like a modern lighthouse showing the way, with the camera behind like some eclectic eye of a modern god.

A year of photos day 3 - Glasses. Do they help you see better, or just help you see the illlusions people and societies put up in finer detail?

A year of photos day two - Out on a walk, seeing a plane overhead. Where is it going? Are those on board excited for the journey or just the destination?

My girlfriend asked me if I go to the store would I buy her a "pillar of chips" and it took me a minute to realize she meant Pringles.

Today I learned that there were smaller walrus ancestors and I am extremely happy to report that the researcher speaking about this did indeed refer to them as the “smallrus.”

There would be about 9 of them lying around if I'd seen this one...
One of many santa's helper elf dolls I've made, I get a bit obsessed with making them, there are probably at least 10 of them lying about :)

If you've ever wondered how I make my photos look all snazzy and edited, Darktable on this list is the secret (it's under Lr as a lightroom replacement). There are so many alternatives to adobe that are as good if not better now and freeeeee.
Adobe is being an asshole to artists, and no one should be giving them money, EVER.

I have seen so many variants on this theme today, and none of them the obvious one:
"I'm a girl."
"cool, what's in your pants?"
"Why, Superintendent Chalmers, it's the aurora borealis."
"I'm a girl."
"cool, what's in your pants?"
"Why, Superintendent Chalmers, it's the aurora borealis."
“i’m a girl.”
“cool, what’s in your pants?”
“piss.”

“piss.”

“a knife. now piss off”

The goddess Artemis, talking to a random Greek peasant girl she's trying to recruit for her totally-not-a-harem of "virgins" that spend all day hanging around with nymphs and weaponry.

Sometimes, real things can look almost fake. @beebootlefloof.bsky.social and I saw this bird and at first we both though it was a kids toy or a model the groundskeepers had put there. Until it jumped up, darted into the bush and made both of us jump!

Good morning bluesky. Woke up feeling rough again today - this sore throat is horrible - so spent some time tinkering with my photos while I waited for a cough sweet to do some work so I can take my regular meds. Think I'm really starting to get a handle on how to use this software properly :)

Been playing with my photo editing tools some more today. Not 100% happy with how I'm using them to do colour spotting vs just whole image colour editing, but it's not *terrible*. Just not where I want it yet.
