'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

Holkham beach, Norfolk - I was commissioned by someone to replicate this beautiful beach and all its shades and textures as an aerial embroidery! Lots of grasses, reeds and mud mixed in with the sand. Not sure if the tide in coming on or going out though... More close-ups are in the thread: 1/2

Abandon your politics timeline for just a moment and behold his feathery magnificence. Marvel at the fluffiness. My pigeon hath just been bathed.

Borg ship is what if you make entire thing out of greebles

Casey Explosion@caseyexplosion.bsky.social · yesterday

Oh, and for folks who've not heard the term greeble before, think little details added to model spaceships in sci-fi to give them more texture, make them seem bigger or grander than they are. To greeble something is to give it more little bits, so that's what I mean when I say "overgreebled"

Sure, why not. Let's see if I can get to double figures.... d=

this is not true. there was no conspiracy. it didn't matter whether the streetcars were publicly owned (seattle, detroit) or private (los angeles, atlanta). a thread (because i wrote a whole-ass book on this): 1/?

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

Today, 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.

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...

The only people funding Antarctic expeditions anymore are private investors from old money who belong to weird social societies. These rich guys are just obsessed with recreating some expedition from the 30's that only found a couple fossils. I don't get it.

So, @cataranea.bsky.social and I went to Guyana over the past week (ish) to attend #BugShot, in the Rupununi Savannah, at Karanambu Lodge. You wanna see some pictures of what we saw?

I put on The Last Stand for some reason and all I can think of is the greatest tumblr post of all time

Glorious thread for those who like a good legal transcript. Counsel is absolutely getting his arse handed to him by the expert witness, aka @kathryntewson.bsky.social 's grandmother.

I don’t exactly have scientific data to support this, but I firmly believe that the reading experience is enhanced by at least 62% when a pet is sleeping nearby.

Just evicted a hundred or so baby spiders that'd hatched in my bathroom. Conveniently mostly still in clusters, so I just scooped them into a small box & tipped them out the window. The 2 adventurous ones that made it all the way to the other end of the room get to stay and hunt very tiny bugs.

QRP with your most popular piece on bsky ~

I've been reading quite a bit about the rise of these 'historic' theme parks around Europe. At their cores, they aren't interested in 'entertainment'. They're propaganda and it's honestly concerning. Because many uncritical visitors and locals will just see it as 'a fun day out'.

The NYC Gay Men's Chorus in 1993. The men in white were the only original chorus members to make it out of the AIDS crisis. We lost SO many young people.

Hearing Jennifer Lewis talk about the losses she experienced during the AIDS crisis really contextualizes how bad it was. She said that every day she would get a phone call saying at least 3-5 people passed away, and this is just within her immediate circle - think about it nationally.

Short thread, as deep and clear as you'd expect from a poet like Jay. ...also though, "I've got inner peace and a fucking scythe" is the best expression of living with joy ever.

Jay Hulme@jayhulmepoet.bsky.social · 4d ago

Jokes aside, I see people go "I think I'm trans but I'm not gonna address it because of all the difficult stuff, what would I get out of it?" And the answer is true joy. That's what you get out of it. Unless you face yourself, fully and completely, and know who you are, you will never find true joy.
