Spotted this at Sunshine Studio at the Lowe Mill Arts Center in Huntsville, AL
Eight rope canopy bridges in Brazil’s Amazon recorded 15,000 wildlife crossings in just 15 months, with zero roadkill at monitored sites. Camera traps captured monkeys and other tree-dwelling animals using the crossings, proving simple solutions can save lives. 🌿🐒

That thing where a story just clicks in your brain and everything falls into place and suddenly you know just how you need to write it. Best feeling. AI sloppers will never know that satisfaction. If you need me, I’ll be writing.

This is Kimchi. She can sleep through anything. Including a brief demonic possession. 13/10 (TT: tamrikhurtsilava)
Ah. Today we realized that when the "at temp" tone sounds on our 20-year-old oven, it's not actually at temp. It does get there, but it takes about another 5-10 minutes. This explains some things...
I've got a digital art image that I'd like to have printed on high quality paper (or similar material) with non-fading ink. I'm looking for recommendations for getting a long lasting, high quality print.
Commission art! Made by humans! This morning I picked up the encaustic (hot) wax painting I'd commissioned for A Multitude of Sparks Descend from local Huntsville artist Kana Clark. I commissioned art, you can too!
God. What a monumental piece of subhuman bigot trash this morsel of dogshit is
Because it apparently needs to be said: I have never fucking used the AI/LLM/chatbot/plagiarism machine and I never fucking will. If you use it, I think you're a bad person.
Also becoming a major issue in Alabama, where Doug Jones has called for a moratorium and Tommy Tuberville is embracing data centers; calling concerns about them “bullcrap” and suggesting opponents are being swayed by China. Here’s @annabjournalist.bsky.social on Monday.
Data centers emerge as top Alabama election issue as community concerns grow | Alabama Reflector

Tressie McMillan Cottom@tressiemcphd.bsky.social · 19h agoI’ve been screening our documentary with organizing communities in the South. So far, the organizers mention data centers first at every single event. From racial justice orgs to old school activists who don’t usually think about tech policy. This has legs.
Missouri elections be like: Hitler (R) 79% - Christ (D) 21% And then the ballot initiative: Amend the Missouri constitution to require the state to own the means of production and work towards full communism? Yes 92% - No 8%
Cordless tools. Except for my lawnmower and the heavy-duty chainsaw, all my landscaping tools are cordless. The batteries on them all last long enough to do the whole task I ask of them on any given day. Also, my cordless drill--it's probably the most frequently used tool in my house.

And once again, if you don't have money to pay for the Patreon, that's totally fine and I'm able to gift you with 3 months for free for you to try it out! Artists are the driving force of Bluesky and I want to build the definitive tool for you!
Artists of Bluesky, please try out the Repost Queue and let me know how you are using it and what could be improved! #art
deck.blue@deck.blue · yesterdayThe main usage for this was thought of with a few artist friends of mine which basically boils down to this: - As an artist, you're now able to keep a sequence of reposts (say, every 2 hours) for your latest publications or even some old ones in-between; you can set it to "loop" until you change it
god I love it when they tell on themselves how they never fucking go grocery shopping fucking ever either he makes his wife do it or eats out every day or some stupid shit #political
onion person@junlper.beer · yesterdaysuspiciously green bananas is sadly one of the funniest things i’ve read in awhile
this seems good actually! more sports, more animals, more art, more books, more fashion, more movies, more poetry, more birds, more science, more museums, more obscure little hobbies. just because my job is politics doesn’t mean it’s the thing I want out of this kind of platform.
Scoiattolo@scoiattolo.mountainherder.xyz · 2d agoGood lord I wish some of you could read on this text based social media website.
while there are problems with anything, the nuclear block is absolutely my second favorite thing that bluesky did. (my first favorite is detach quote, which is another thing that wrecks the way they like to use social media)
Micah@rincewind.run · 2d agothere are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly
