lmao they did the Frieren looking up angle meme 23 years before it became an Bluesky sensation.

I kneww it lmao, I'm pretty sure I stood on those exact rocks to take a panorama, are those the ones that are on the lil end of the curve at Kits?! (yes, I am so sad my first time visiting in years was sooo overcast and glum)
A view of a distant cityscape against a drab cloudy day (the City of Vancouver in British Columbia) a few distant oil tankers roll gently in the waves. in the foreground are a line of very prominent colorful green and brown and grey rocks.

I wiiiish I had better ones to share, but sadly I arrived late and right as I left to look at what else was at the show, it left early😞 Also a few years later I got to see a weirdly bricklin-like thing called an Enterra Vipre, basically Bricklin 2.0😅 Canadian made with millions of Gov investment $s.
A lil red Sportscar (1987 Enterra Vipre) getting driven out on a flatbed from Vancouver International Autoshow 2019 front view of a tiny 2-door red sportscar, a Canadian-built Enterra Vipre! basically a Bricklin SV1 from a few years after bricklin folded (and with even more controversy) red Enterra Vipre sportscar (made in canada) from 1987 red Enterra Vipre Sportscar from 1987 (made in Canada!)

SORRY TO REPLY TWICE!! but found the pics!! this was 2017 like I remembered... how on earth is it eight years ago already.
A made-in-Canada Bricklin SV1 in white and black two-tone paint! very interesting design, visually the front end recesses slightly to form a straange slot that goes all around the nose of the car, like someone pushed in the front of the model and called it a day. Rear view of a white and black car (Bricklin SV1, made in Canada) white upper before transitioning into pure black below the middle side

this was cool too, got to see a frankly unheard of (for me) number of seals today, there were at least a hundred!!
An herd of Harbor Seals swimming by, from left to right! there are 24 and most are only head-out-of-water, though a few have their grey and black spotted backs out as well!

Am so... so happy, I got to get some incredibly detailed (for mee) Seal photos today!!! they're so absurdly cute😭
Blurry cellphone photo of a DSLR camera's display, showing a blurry thumbnail of the cutest contented lil harbor seal drifting on their back, just eyes closed with just the most peaceful vibes.

me here just wanting to share some old photos I took many years ago, have this adorably cute lil Spanish-built SEAT 600 D, it has the coolest seats ever put in a car! they're literally wicker like wicker baskets!! its meant for low-speed beach cruising!
a tiny and adorably yellow car driving into the road, it has no visible doors and wicker seating as the passenger lounges across both rear seats! The car is a SEAT 600 D from the Spanish company SEAT!

The colors of Fall are so pretty this year, really happy to see them actually happening at the time they're meant to, vs last year where the hot season was so long they started turning yellow in late August/early September.
The colors of fall are upon this Maple tree, making its green foliage turn to bright reds and yellows.

I bring tonight's bread!! so happy with how it turned out, just the right amount of crunch without being too thick!

ALSO what the fuck is this language lmao. "stronger industrial AI champions/What supports would make our champions own the podium?" I am just *baffled* at how unprintably garbage this whole poll is, I'm taking a mental battering just filling out extremely negative topical responses.
screenshot of same Canadian government poll questionaire as above, the question reads; How does Canada get to more and stronger AI industrial champions? What supports would make our champions own the podium? (i.e. barriers to scaling, including mentorship needs; effective mechanisms for transitioning between federal programs; tailored support across early-, mid- and late-stage growth)

Know what makes me laugh? how contradictory the questions are.... "how can we protect Canadians' IP while still enabling commercialization?" the very next question being "how can we strengthen AI companies in Canada with having things like liability mitigation (aka not being held liable for shit)
a screenshot of a Canadian Government poll on Implimenting AI nationally, the entire poll is filled with buzzwords and is very heavily pro- gen AI screenshot reads; What changes to the Canadian business enabling environment are needed to unlock AI commercialization? (i.e. barriers such as Canadian-controlled private corporation rules and foreign direct investment constraints; incentives, capital access and liability mitigation; sector-specific and cross-sectoral policy levers) screenshot of same poll questionaire but one question above What needs to be put in place so Canada can grow globally competitive AI companies while retaining ownership, IP and economic sovereignty? (i.e. strategies for attracting investment and scaling internationally; balancing foreign capital with Canadian control of IP and corporate identity; economic security safeguards)

@darthbluesky.bsky.social These pics I took might intrigue you!! these gorgeous light pink flowers are actually potato plants in bloom!
a close photo of a field of potato plants in bloom, they have pretty light pink flowers. they grow in circular bunches! wide-angle shot of the same potato plants in bloom, this showing rows and rows of them neatly arranged. far in the background is a tall mountain range scenic shot of the carpet effect a telephoto photograph has where it made all the rows of flowers merge into a continuous carpet of pink. at the end of the field is a row of very circular trees.

(also its just a little thing, but as someone that's struggled for years to understand how to draw it myself, you always draw such incredibly 3D faces! like the way you drew Catra's cheek and the *depth* of her face itself here looks so good and makes them all look so.. more than just a 2D image!!)

Heck. anyone want some Canadian Snowbird photos? pretty happy with how they turned out in spite of my lens being as uncooperative as it could be. (Love taking dramatic photos.. it just makes me happy)

#snowbirds #photography
The nine jets of the Canadian Forces Snowbirds arch gracefully into the sky in a slow backflip loop while in a perfect diamond formation. blue aerobatic smoke flows from the 3 jets at the back of the formation and the two at the tips. a second loop performed by the Snowbirds, no longer a diamond and instead a more standard arrowhead formation for a loop. the huge arch of aerobatic smoke already dissipating in the heat.

I was literally just talking about this a few ago in a discord server, how depressingly the only moral to the story for all nations that don't have them is that nuclear proliferation is apparently the only security guarantee of your nation's future.. and having no nukes is just asking to be invaded.
Sydney on Discord on the 17th of June 2025 said the following it's so fucking insane... just thinking things and being like hm, it's kinda impressive how last five years was the world demonstrating the need for nuclear proliferation like in what world is having nuclear weapons literally the only guarantee to State security?!?!?? Iran; doesn't have nukes, Israel attacks them without provocation and there's literally no reason not to as they cant' defend against it if they had nukes though, this whole "war" wouldn't even be happening as Israel isn't so stupid as to risk getting hit with a nuclear bomb instead it'd go more like what happened between India and Pakistan, where the whole world rushed to de-escalate the conflict so it'd not spill into a nuclear war Genuinely just fucking insane that we've gotten to a point that the moral of the story is that all countries on earth should rush to obtain nuclear weapons, or be the victim of aggression from a country that has them seriously trying to imagine a world where a country can say (and then act on) they're going to after the president of Israel and NOT have nuclear retaliation if they succeed

Like IS THIS the face of a guy "just following orders"? he seems to've gotten quite the masochistic joy out of sneering at journalists when they confronted him with the lies Israel made and how the US is enabling them. this exact face a derisive grin at reported Palestinian death toll in Sept 2024
Former US State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller grinning ghoulishly as he hears the gigantic death toll of Palestinians from Israel's year-long genocide in Gaza. September 21st 2024.

This is just one of many, *many* cases like this that were brought up in litigation/the major anti-AI SAG-AFTRA strike of 2023, the fact that thousands of actors found out that they were either sneakily having their contract give up their likenesses without compensation FOR ETERNITY/had done so.
A thread of tweets from an SAG-AFTRA union member(goes by "@fakesteezjobs" talking about the contract he refused to sign as a background actor in 2023 that caused him to join the historic strike action that year. it reads; I was digitally recreated for the upcoming Netflix movie Rez Ball and my first question was how are we going to get paid for repeated use of our likeness and I was never given a proper answer. Now I’m seeing the long term plans here and it makes sense, but not good sense. To my knowledge no one was paid extra for this and they were counting on public lack of knowledge on things like royalties and likeness rights. Background and PAs are generally the first and worst exploited by the business practices of studios so I can’t get upset at the PAs. and if they blacklist me from background, so be it. I’m more suited for speaking rolls and I’m trying to get in the union anyway. anyway near end rant but I love the opportunity to be part of anything creative that could reach people and that’s why we need union protection to not be exploited for work that we’re passionate about. Side note the production was done by @KingJames production co.

Happy Catradora kiss Anniversary y'all. five years since the kiss that shook the world. I still can't believe how that show changed the world in such a positive way, both personally for me and also just for the greater LGBTQIA community in general☺️

This looks so... so funny, it'd have been so weird if he pulled this out in Episode 3 when Mace showed up to arrest him.

They've been so desperate it's kinda depressing.. I've barely touched that horrid platform for awhile, and in spite of only following liberal/NDP politicians I've been getting bombarded nonstop by low-follower propaganda posts for the conservatives(and all the trending tabs looking like THIS)
A screenshot of the Trending topics tab on Twitter. the "trending" sentence being DO NOT ELECT MARK CARNEY in spite of having less than 4100 uses.

And just obsessed with her face too, genuinely the way you draw like, 𝘪𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨/provocative expressions just makes me so giddy!! I just love the eyes especially, the way you do the half-closed look is just hot!(am just obsessed with how you drew her boobs too, the heavy way her tits rest is perfect!)
Closeup detail shot of Crux's art of Catra from She-Ra showcasing the exquisite details they drew of her bushy hair and gorgeously sharp jawline. she smirks with a provocatively inviting air and her eyes are half-closed in a downright hot way! Also she has gorgeous breasts too with how Crux drew their heavy saggy shapes visible under the frilled top she's wearing.

I AM JUST LIKE... OH MY GOD YES THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE OF ALL OF THEM!!! (me here just *obsessed* with the definition you added to the pose, like the way her pectoral stretches over the armpit from how her arm's raised! and the way you can see the shape and depth form of her latissimus too!)

Every time these types of people talk about how transwomen require being put into a separate category to compete it just reminds me of Megan Rapinoe calling out an interviewer to their face about how surface-level their support for trans people is, and that they don't view trans women as real women.
An screenshot of an article on Megan Rapinoe's career where she calls out the interviewer's inherently transphobic question. full screencaptured quote; Would Rapinoe embrace a transgender woman on the U.S. women’s soccer team, even if that woman took the place of someone assigned female at birth? “Absolutely,” she says. “‘You’re taking a “real” woman’s place,’ that’s the part of the argument that’s still extremely transphobic. I see trans women as real women. What you’re saying automatically in the argument—you’re sort of telling on yourself already—is you don’t believe these people are women. Therefore, they’re taking the other spot. I don’t feel that way.”
