Acid Rain@bearysweet.bsky.social · yesterdayRemembering Sister Rosetta Tharpe, born in 1915 in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. Here she's performing "Didn't It Rain" at a train depot in Manchester, England in 1964. She's often called the "Godmother of Rock & Roll" and influenced future music icons like Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis Presley.
I think I might be overtired, saw this pick I'd taken and used for my blog post and got a little teary. Do I just really love bees, is it because it reminded me of spring. Or was it that I was awake at 5 am? Who can say? 😅 jrbeecreations.wordpress.com
If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:
We present: The Art of #InverteFest - August 2026 Edition A digital art book showcasing the work of 100 artists, in celebration of overlooked invertebrate fauna. Thank you to the artists who contributed to our book! Download & submit to the next edition: invertefest.com/#artbook #Art #SciArt
The Corvids of Pride pin collection is finally up in my Etsy shop! 🥳🌈 abistevens.etsy.com #PridePins #LGBTQIA #ArtShop
A drawing I did a few years ago when I wanted to draw a dragon that I felt represented a Gemini personality more than those angelic cherubs. I also did a few others, but Leo was my other favourite. I want to redraw them at some point. #SundayPixStretch
I decided to learn Canva, so I followed along with a tutorial on making a presentation, which I decided to do on my 'Raindrop Ramblers' adventure story, and I had a lot of fun with it! I highly recommend making silly presentations for random things! canva.link/21vh8v2glwk1...
More bugs needed! If you know any invert artists who aren't already involved, they don't need to make anything new, existing pieces are welcome. It can also be anthro/fantasy/sci-fi stuff!

AJ Jefferies@moonjam.com · 2w agoSo pleased with all the love this clip has had! The film itself is *achingly* close to breaking 100k views on YT and while reaching this number will achieve absolutely nothing (tangible) it will make me, a buffoon, very happy... www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8vZ...
Chocolate mug cake is a wonderful and dangerous thing to exist.
Some assembly required, but shouldn’t take me more than an hour or two. Not a bad kit.
Recently I learned that when you hit #menopause, your Achilles tendon is more likely to snap. Serendipitously, I also came across this video about the importance of tendon strength, and how to strengthen them. So, now I feel duty bound to share this everywhere! youtu.be/GSwL3Lgw6zI?... #Health

Today I found out that the Mandarin Chinese for the concept of bingo wings is 'bye bye meat' - very descriptive of the wobbly flesh when you wave goodbye.
Awake at 5am on a Saturday (whyyyy?) & did some maths on what it would take to join the YT partner program before their rules change to a (for me) unreachable goal. I'd need at least 5 subs & 22 watch hours a day. I knew I wasn't going to make it, but for some reason I still wanted the numbers 🤷♀️
I really really really hope this is the last of the 30+ degree heat this year. I powered through some of today, but with each heatwave I'm struggling more.
