Some older Woodlouse art! (That's a springtail sitting on top)

Brush pen and ink illustration of a springtail riding a woodlouse like a mount, sitting in a leaf saddle with saddlebags made of leaves and tied by grass draped across the woodlouse.

Good kitty 🤣 #Caturday

Two images. The first image is of a black cat looking at a HUGE blow up yard decoration of a black cat. The second image is of the same blow up only deflated with the cat sitting on top of it, staring into the camera.

Do the first thing you think of especially if it’s real dumb #zombieskulltober

A digital black ink drawing of a jawless human skull looking down and to the left. Eyeballs are dangling by nerves and viscera out of the eye sockets and the whole cranium is punctured by auxiliary eye sockets of varying sizes out of which peer various eyes looking in all directions.

We lost Steve Silberman on this day, 2 years ago. His death hit our entire community hard, because Steve showed autistic people as fully formed humans with rights and delights and happiness and love, with people who loved them, and whom they loved right back. thinkingautismguide.com/2026/01/abou...

About That Mensch, Steve Silberman, and How Much We Miss Him — THINKING PERSON'S GUIDE TO AUTISM

Steve Silberman was such a well of bottomless compassion. I still can't believe he's gone. And I'm so sorry.

Amidst the Bisti Badlands in the Ah-Shi-Sle-Pah Wilderness of New Mexico are some striking hoodoos, capstones that protect a column of earth on which they rise from the eroded landscape. This one they call ALIEN THRONE. (Joe Witkowski Photography, www.joewitkowskiphoto.com)

A large stone column has been hollowed out underneath a capstone shaped a bit like the seat of a chair. Beneath it a latticework of surprisingly lacy stone in peach and grey. Behind it rise other hoodoos against the sunset or sunrise of blue, orange and pastel clouds.

A really nice looking juvenile Long-nosed Leopard Lizard found a few weeks ago! I don't come across these guys too often but when I do they usually bolt so fast, so it was nice that this guy sat still long enough to snap a picture! #herps 🦎
