Made this to keep in touch with fandom people if tumblr becomes no longer viable for some reason. Dreamwidth might be a better fit but I figure more people will move here than there.

These tiny solar cells work through a process similar to photosynthesis to harvest energy from light. They produce enough electricity to power small electronics as large as laptops and produce 90% less emissions per unit of energy than traditional batteries

Natural polymers made from okra and fenugreek remove up to 90% of microplastics from water, making them easier to remove. These could serve as a safer and biodegradable alternative to the synthetic polymers currently used to remove microplastics.

Okra and Fenugreek Extracts Safely Remove Microplastics From Water in New Texas Research
The slimy strings from okra and the gel from fenugreek seeds can trap microplastics better than the slightly-toxic synthetic polymer in use.

Founded in 2019 by zoological industry leaders, ZDR3 provides support to facilities housing wildlife and exotic animal species before, during, and after disasters. We deploy experienced zoological personnel and resources to facilities requesting aid, regardless of accreditation or affiliation.
Two women crouch inside an animal habitat. The woman on the left, in grey, is holding a mid-sized yellow and black tortoise off the ground. The woman on the right, in dark blue, is prepping a needle to use for medical care. Four people in work pants and lime green shirts that say "San Antonio Zoo Crew" are facing away from the camera, looking up at a huge fallen tree. The tree is diagonally across the background of the image and appears to be leaning heavily on a chain-link fence on the left side of the image. A picture of a workstation for ZDR3 inside of an office. Three computer monitors are visible: the top one is widescreen and shows a map of the gulf coast of the United States with a hurricane trajectory plotted on it. A big red and black logo with a white background is on a glass door in the background. Two men in grey work clothes and shirts that say "San Antonio Zoo" on the back are standing next to an animal habitat. They are fixing something inside an electric box at the corner of the habitat. Inside the low metal fence of the habitat, a very large grey-brown tortoise watches them work.

A severe storm ripped through Bridgeport, Texas on May 17, with straight line winds that caused significant destruction to a ZDR3 Network facility member, Center for Animal Research and Education (CARE). Their Director immediately reached out to us for assistance.

"willed closer," again, inspired by a scene in "first, do no harm."

#NSFW #garashir

archiveofourown.org/works/653718...
digital gouache painting showing an over-the-shoulder view of julian bashir on his knees before elim garak in the shower, holding the cardassian’s hips in his hands. the angle of the camera looks up at garak, showing from the tops of his thighs to right below his pectorals. bashir’s face and hands are nearly entirely silhouetted by the light as he looks up at garak’s face, his own face mere inches from garak’s slit, which has begun to peek open, enough to show a thin line of bright pink. the darkest parts of the image are dark blue, while garak’s scales are grey-blue and his body ridges are dark blue as well, flushed with arousal. rain-like water pours from the ceiling. subtle digital artifacts have been added in the anti-AI-theft glazing process that aren't present in my actual final version of this work. signed, m00psy (pronounced moopsy).

“left him gasping”: more art inspired by “first, do no harm.”

#NSFW #garashir

archiveofourown.org/works/65371801
digital gouache painting, inspired by “first do no harm” by NichePastiche and Wisteria_Lodge, of julian bashir lying on his back, head propped up with pillows, cock buried deep within the cardassian elim garak’s ajan, or cloacal slit. bashir’s shoulder and the part of his neck that’s not visible with the uniform turtleneck on are littered with lovebites. the everted portion of garak’s large, pink phallus that emerges from the slit above where his parter’s cock is lodged slides along bashir’s stomach. bashir’s knees are bent and his legs are spread to accommodate the width of garak’s body; the hand we can see is running along the large scutes on garak’s back and ribs. garak digs his fingers into the top of bashir’s shoulder. garak leans over bashir, roughly an inch of distance between their open mouths. the upper portions of their faces are cut off by the edge of the frame. behind them is the suggestion of julian’s darkened bedroom, with the only firm detail being the large oval window looking out into space. the color palette is mostly shades of blue, with the oval window and julian’s body both in contrasting shades of orange and yellow. subtle digital artifacts have been added in the anti-AI-theft glazing process that aren't present in my actual final version of this work. signed, m00psy (pronounced moopsy).

Your periodic reminder that "fancy fonts" on places like Bluesky are unicode & are a nightmare for screen reader users. DON'T use for your name

Not only that, good lucky having anyone search for you in the search bar by name.

Oh my gosh! This is amazing! I love it so much! Anybody who's read "First, Do No Harm" should absolutely check this out. And even if you haven't read it and just like Garashir, also go check out this persons work. It's all so cool! I really love the fun stuff they do with color.

digital gouache illustration that isn't incredibly detailed. from over elim garak's shoulder, the viewer looks down at a wax play scene involving the aforementioned cardassian and dr. julian bashir. garak is straddling julian bashir's hips as the human lies on his back on a red sheet on garak's bed, looking upward serenely with his palms upturned by his side. other than starfleet-issue briefs that do little to hide his erection, bashir is naked. blue wax has been poured onto his nipples (with an arc of dots connecting each), as well as on his chest in the shape of a scoop neck shirt collar. garak holds up a blue candle to drip additional wax onto his submissive canvas. beside the bed is a side table with a tray, a palette knife, and two more lit blue candles. the color palette leans very blue. subtle digital artifacts have been added in the anti-AI-theft glazing process that aren't present in my actual final version of this work. signed, m00psy (pronounced moopsy). digital gouache illustration of elim garak holding julian bashir in a large shower with a recess built into the wall for lounging. garak's back is turned to the viewer, showing the large, protective scales there. one of the cardassian's hands is at the nape of the human's lovebitten neck, and the other rests on bashir's chest. both figures are partially obscured by the water streaming down from the ceiling. the room is pink, garak is gray, bashir is orange, and the shadows are blue. subtle digital artifacts have been added in the anti-AI-theft glazing process that aren't present in my actual final version of this work. signed, m00psy (pronounced moopsy).

I got a set of Star Trek stamps from the 90s on eBay and I love them so much. I can put Spock on any piece of paper now and no one can stop me.
Seven Star Trek stamps on a page of paper. From left to right, top row: Kirk in black ink, Spock in dark blue ink, Bones in light blue ink, three random planets in pink ink. Bottom row: a delta shield in red ink, The Enterprise in purple ink, a small field of stars in black ink.

Great post by @trekkiebill.bsky.social

As someone growing up in Ireland in the 90s, Star Trek showed me the diversity that I didn't see in my everyday life.

A world where everyone was equal is normal in #StarTrek - it felt right to me too.

Thank you to Trek for opening my eyes to a wider world

Final image for First Time #14 is the back cover, also by The Southern Cross. Absolutely stunning illustration based on this movie poster. I wish I could have prints or even originals of her work. This fanzine is definitely a jewel in my collection.
Not safe for work. Illustration by The Southern Cross of naked Kirk and Spock embracing.
