I always love watching tiny birds, like this marsh tit (glanskop), thoroughly explore something small, like a branch, in their quest for food. Most humans would walk past the branch without a thought, much less inspect it, but this bird spent half a minute closely examining every aspect. #birds

Fun fact: people so often compare the Citizen Sleeper UI layout to Disco but the game’s presentation of text was equally inspired by the elegant Destiny 2 conversation panel that was used extensively through its many seasons.
I think people might be getting a little too genuinely angry with this column series

I once saw a group of alpine ibex when hiking through #switzerland. It looked like they were watching me from above while also not really caring. So in this painting I wanted them majestic but also like a force to be reckoned with. #art #traditionalart #watercolor #wildlifeart #animalart #ibex
a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
YouTube Bans Popular ASMR Artists, Accusing Them of Making 'Sexually Gratifying' Content
YouTube told ASMR artists including Bunnii, Slight Sounds, Rose, and others that their content broke the platform's sex and nudity policy. Creators say these bans are unfair and potentially life-alter...

this is fucked on a few levels. first, the violation isn't with content hosted on YouTube itself, but has to do with linking out to "sexually gratifying" content on other platforms, often using aggregators like Linktree. SWers are very familiar with this; IG is notoriously strict about it, too
this is troubling! we can’t rely on either detection software or “hunches” because people are biased; consider the handwringing about “proper” language, what constitutes the “literary,” etc. it’s already a pattern that it’s being used against writers of color — 3 Black authors, in this case.
