It’s the time of year when I do my Christmas auction. This mouse icon is up for auction and it’s to raise money for Shelter Cymru & Doctors without borders. 100% of the money raised will go to these charities on a 50-50 basis.

The Lewis Chessmen

These 12th-century chess pieces are packed with personality, and have such charmingly expressive eyes! ♟️ 👀

From a large gaming hoard discovered on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, in 1831.

Not only are smart appliances/devices able to spy on you, the companies behind them maintain ultimate control over your ability to use (aspects of) the device (for an extra fee!) and to repair them. Even though you bought and own it. Where possible, go analog

More than 2,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. They’re demanding dignity: fair pay, safe conditions, a contract that respects their labor.

It’s time their voices are heard at the same volume as CEOs earning millions.

Remember these baby octos? 🐙🦑🐡

This piece is in memory of my father, Jonathan Fay, who died suddenly in October.

He took the astro photo of NGC2244 with his SeeStar. He loved when I'd message him critters I found, & joining me when he could.

My Spotify wrapped summary is that my band took all our music off Spotify because the company’s CEO invests the billions which he doesn’t pay artists on AI drone weapons tech.

Ditch Spotify. Pay artists. Redistribute wealth. Stop war. Happy Christmas!

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a tabby cat serving a mouse! 😁

The artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad to draw this comic scene some 3,200 years ago.

Always Repost Owls 🦉
This is one of the young great horned owls I saw over the summer.

It's lost most of its baby fluff, but it hasn't developed its "horns" (actually called plumicorns) yet.
