Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.
derek guy@dieworkwear.bsky.social · 4w agoA friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?
lmao what the fuck? I have been actively going out of my way to avoid it. Give me this future, please.

More people calling me "silly bitch" when I trap myself in a mental pit would fix me.
My dog was not pleased that her kong was Big Walk's main foley prop 👁️ I used it for the grab and release sound of every other prop, all the body movements, and all the footsteps. It even came into the woods where I recorded it on the many different surfaces! 🎤
Em@emaudible.bsky.social · 21h agoYes! You win! All the character sounds in Big Walk are kong haha
And today, the woman I assume is the manager called out from somewhere, "Brian, Merrill's here" when the register was unattended.

*derisively* Your berries taste like you're fossil fuel-dependent.
𝐔𝐧𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐫𝐚𝐛@johnxuandou.bsky.social · yesterdayThis has been studied quite a bit, the solar panels create a sort of greenhouse effect for the plants underneath them while also generating energy which feels like it should be cheating but is real and literally only has upsides.
Sometimes, it pays to be lost in the woods. Gorgeous art by @cbh.bsky.social
this is the best comment i've ever seen on any footage of my game. pack it up. there's no topping this.
"Liberal bubble?" bro that's literally Earth's atmosphere calm down
Ian Boudreau@ianboudreau.com · yesterdayWhether someone realizes it or not, accepting the "liberal bubble" framing at all is a way of granting the utterly absurd notion that the globally reviled and increasingly unpopular views of the reactionary right are the norm
Easily my favorite part about Blue Prince is how all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue, like him, inside and outside.
Time to vote! If you are voting today, make sure your ballot gets to a BALLOT BOX BEFORE 8PM. I repeat, if you are a WA voter make sure your ballot is IN a BALLOT BOX by 8PM.
Hannah Krieg@hannahkrieg.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Young people are on the ballot this election, but can we please get young people to the ballot BOX? So far, King County voters 65+ account for 4 times as many ballots as people under 35. You have until 8pm Tuesday to close that gap!
"""""Bad"""""" art made by human hands is valuable and I'm tired of pretending it isn't
Erin Biba@erinbiba.bsky.social · 2d agoNOT EVERYTHING IS AI SOME THINGS ARE JUST BAD LET THINGS JUST BE BAD I legit would like more poorly written, poorly drawn, poorly whatever pierce of art and less AI. At least they tried.
Oh I remember reading this in high school and being like, "Oh what the fuck."
Adam Rawnsley@arawnsley.bsky.social · yesterdayToday, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.

Updated instructional methods based on current research into optimized neuroreceptivity actually recommend that step *one* should be to draw the rest of the fucking owl.
I came across this a while back and ended up saving it because it was so accurate and depressing
Stop-mo PNGtuber for @foxander.bsky.social in the style of Fantastic Mr. Fox. Foxander messaged me about the idea and it seemed so cool! He sent me drawings and screenshots for the idea I got to work, it took a bit, but I streamed most of the process and am happy with the result! #3dart #vtuber
