Already run into kids who, when seeing my wildlife photos, exclaim 'that's AI'
I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Hey, reading is not a spectator sport. It's active rugby. It's capoeira. It's each brain cell doing jeet kune do. It plays in the rain, in the mud, in the snow or on the sunniest day of a flower-filled year, but it does so with a wild smile on its face knowing nothing will stop it. Power forward.
A must-read from @zzclaybourne.bsky.social on the importance of books, and how they change you.

If you're mad about Daylight Saving Time, you could blame Benjamin Franklin, who first suggested the practice in 1784.
His cheeky theory was that if people rose with the summer sun, they wouldn’t have to buy so many candles.
Let your lower paraffin bills comfort you today.

It is the first day of November—
Throwback to this 2011 trailer I animated and composed for The Scorpio Races.
(Notice the paint is still wet on a bunch of slides because I was so behind on a bunch of real deadlines while I was playing around with this).

Viva la Vida is Austin, TX's longest running Dia de los Muertos celebration, in its 39th year, sponsored by the Mexic-Arte Museum.
This year's parade had a special theme of 'Flores de la Ofrenda' (flowers of the altar), celebrating the significance of the marigold, chrysanthemum & carnation.
