'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

Fly no fly (killed by entomopathogenic fungus, I'd guess Entomophthora muscae, known for attacking flies). The fungus controls the fly's behavior, making it climb atop a stem or flower stalk and open its wings, to better allow the spores to disperse. 🐙🌿🪰💀

A macro photo of a fly, seen from the side, its head inside a cluster of white and green flowers, with a blue sky background. The fly is dead, its abdomen coated in white fungus; the fungus has "zombified" the fly, controlling its behavior and making it climb to a high point before dying, so that the fungal spores disperse more widely.

Help Ahmad. He really needs you. He's a dear friend to me. You know they thought he was a rapper when he was young because of how he would always be rapping along to Tupac. Sometimes I let him down with how much is going on with me but it's never my intent, & he desperately needs boosts & donations.

We haven't received enough donations for days, and we still need €200 to rent a safe place after our home was destroyed. ❤️🇵🇸 My family has nowhere else to go. Please don't let us face another night of fear. Even one euro or one share could change everything. 🫂🙏🏻⬇️💸 chuffed.org/project/157281

Just tried to look up the Ordovician jawless fish with the funny face and these are the things I searched for and got nothing because it was spelled SO wrong: -sacombabsis -sacombibabsis -sacobibastis The correct answer was: -sacabambaspis

Check out the steaming pile of AI garbage that just won $1,000 first prize in the Ohio State Fair poster contest. It's especially tragic since the 5th place, drawn by an actual human, is great. Rooster (OH fair has biggest poultry show in US) riding the "butter cow" (exactly what it sounds like).
