A little bleak, a little hopeful, a lot interesting and informative! Love this ongoing adventure by John Green into nonfiction (Anthropocene Reviewed was also excellent)

Yessss, refilling my strategic bird reserve as we speak. By way of appreciation, here's a (far worse, taken from a car on a phone) photo of a Black-Face Ibis I took while visiting Chile last year 🇨🇱! I'm sad I didn't get a better picture but it was cool to see!

A three panel meme. The first panel shows a painting of a woman leaning on a pitchfork and is captioned "I can't". The second panel shows a painting of a noble woman in a dress with a sash and the caption says "I cannot". The third panel shows a queen in a very fancy dress and is captioned says "I do not currently possess the ability to can"

Good morning lovelies! Been wanting to post this for a hot minute. Maybe one of the best photos I've ever taken (the bar is low). The southwestern edge of the Rano Kao volcanic crater at Orongo on Rapa Nui. One of the few photos I've taken where you can really FEEL the massive scale

Such a lovely lad. If you're looking to expand your enjoyment of Kirbys, might i also suggest you give Kirby by Aesop Rock a listen? Delightful song about a cat! And bonus points, the music video looks like this 😁

No opening sequence is more vivid in my memory than Half Life's monorail ride and resonance cascade sequence
A screenshot from Half Life, featuring a large beam emitter apparatus in the middle of a cylindrical room with tracks with a cart on them leading into the center of the beam. The beam is reacting with the sample in the cart and green lightning is shooting out and the room is bathed in green light

My reading slowed down a lot this year, but I'm getting back into it! And what better way to do that than with a book by @aptshadow.bsky.social? A few chapters in and already loving City of Last Chances ❤️

A frog holding pasta says "I wonder if there's enough pasta". Then, putting more pasta in a pot of water, it says "let's add more". Then the frog has a massive bowl of pasta and says "Oh."
