While we’re about to cruise into absolutely absurdity for a few hours, I want to take a moment to say thank you to everyone involved in #AGDQ2026 — staff, volunteers, chat, runners, prize makers.

A beacon in the darkness. A fire to keep the cold at bay. And plenty of other cliches.

Thank you.

The @gamesdonequick.com team-up with LabX to link science and gaming is so cool and perfectly linked to the charity AGDQ supports. If you need someone for SGDQ to ramble about geopolitics and public health I would drive my ass up to Minnesota in a heartbeat

i think i gravitate to GDQ largely because of the communicative informative nature of learning about a speedrun and it turns out those talents carry over REALLY well

@adef.bsky.social I'm really happy to see a return of the science segment at GDQ with @rubiehart.bsky.social. Even just a simple demo like showing how turning a crank lights up an LED can work wonders in renewing interest in science, math, and the natural world. Nice work, please keep doing it.

Thanks @adef.bsky.social for the energy science! What a cool segment—and a big reason why I’m always curious to see what interstitials are going to be each event. #AGDQ2026

I am immensely proud of this lady. She picked a goal and saw it through. And now someone else will get to enjoy a piece of that effort while supporting a good cause. This year’s #AGDQ2026 is extra special seeing her work in the prize pool.

Calling it a night soon. #AGDQ2026 is already passed $150k. Everyone from runners and commentators to couches and chat are amazing as always. I needed this. Thanks for being such an amazing community.

Was grabbing candids at a demo on a bridge and this shoe caught my eye.

Today's #StunDay photo is one of my favorite #BNWMacro shots of the past year as well. Hello spider friend!

A black and white macro photograph. Close-up photograph of a cross orbweaver spider on its web. The sun streams through from behind, lending a translucent, glowing effect to the spider.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country?

There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Somehow, this song just keeps coming back day after day, weaving its way into a feed or station somewhere.

A little #liminal night photography for today's #JanuArty prompt: #trees

#NightPhotography #ClassicMono #StreetPhotography #Appalachia #Fog #MicroFourThirds
A wide-angle black and white photograph. A bare tree sits in silhouette against the background light of a street lamp on a small town street at night. A brightly lit store roofline sits to the side as houses fade into the background. The foreground is filled with darkness.

Water droplets Wnever fail to amaze me in #BlackAndWhite.

#BNWMacro #Macro #Photography #Water #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Monochrome #Plants
A monochrome macro photo. A branch of a yew hedge nestles a single water droplet atop it between its pointed leaves. Light reflects a tiny shot back of the hedge and tiny whisps of spider webbing lace between leaves.

A quiet #macro moment for today's #ColorADay #GreenSat prompt. One of my favorites of this shoot.

#MicroFourThirds #Plants #EastCoastKin #Vines
A color photograph. Gently blurred, a vine glows in the sun as the yew hedge it winds through comes in and out of focus around it. Offshoots of the vine curl over and over, creating spiral curls that droop.
