For my own organization, my hounds' 3 runs on 4.19.25 (really the last third of the runs; as best I can manage after slipping them, without missing anything). This is their morning run.

A 3,000-pound, 17-foot-long "DEMOCRACY" ice sculpture is melting away on the National Mall today, a statement from activists and artists on the weakened state of American democracy under the Trump administration.

No notes

Robin Williams' daughter, Zelda Williams, also recently slammed people who are making Al-generated videos of her late father, calling the clips "gross." She added, "To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop pup-peteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it."

I keep seeing spiderwebs catch the sunlight on my way to work in the mornings, and I can't help but feel like this must have happened sometimes 75 million years ago.

So cool! It has wonderful drama and realism. Also great water and ferns.

Koolasuchus cleelandi Illustration!
In this Illustration, I have depicted a scene of koolasuchus making a desperate attempt to flee the dangers of a fellow Koolasuchus. The seasonal flooding has brought new hunting grounds, and so more competition and fights for those hunting ground rights #paleoart

What an odd little bronze model. It's a Roman galley's prow *and* stern? The usual goose-swan neck from the stern is at top, while a dog-headed ram, which would be affixed to the prow, is at bottom. The inscription reads: AMMILLA AUG FELIX, 'Amilla Augusta the Fortunate'. @sdecasien.bsky.social 🏺🤔

Bronze prow or stern of an ancient Roman ship. The goose or swan neck and head is at the top, which would normally be on the stern of a galley - the rear. But at the bottom, projecting out from the keel, is a dog-headed ram, which should be at the prow - the front - of the galley. A mashup, perhaps, of an actual galley, perhaps one that plied the Mediterranean as a trading ship? In niello - a composite black metal - are letters at the top which read, in Latin, 'Amilla Augusta, the Fortunate'. Niello decorations are at the bottom, difficult to make out against the corroded metal, but it seems to be a victory palm, a bird, and something else ...

3 coyotes commuting on the Raccoonobahn!!!

It’s possible one of them is a 6 month (or so) old pup as they’re almost fully grown at this age.

I have a soft spot for coyotes and dislike how they’re vilified.

Swima eating. 4700-4800m I heard them say a worm person says this is new. I have seen swima launch off the seafloor many times, but I have never seen them eating anything. They usually get spooked before the ROV can settle down. @nautiluslive.org dive L1009 #CookIslands #MarineLife

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

I hate that it's easier to reach some people with violence against animals than against humans, but anything helps. And of course people who are cruel to animals are usually cruel to other people too.

I have long believed that we should be WAY more vocal about how police and ICE constantly murder dogs, and I think this is great messaging actually.

The reality is that you can mobilize a whole lot of usually tuned-out Americans around a “someone is being mean to hecking doggos” cause.

personally, I wouldn't be cool with my loose dog zipping around a blind corner toward a cliff, with no idea who or what might be around said corner other than the aforementioned sheer, deadly, vertical drop, but that's just me. whatever phone convo she was having must have been more important.

Have you considered offering small pins or brooches, perhaps with some of the motifs and patterns of your other work? I enjoy your work, but don't wear this kind of earring.

An old split photo in black and white. The top, a photograph of Six Grandfathers mountain labeled "Mt. Rushmore before the monument was started." The bottom, a photograph of finished Mt. Rushmore - it's ugly.
