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.

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.

Just 21% of the adult U.S. population got vaccinated against COVID last year- a proportion that has been steadily declining. With less vaccine-induced immunity, more people would benefit even more from getting vaccinated THIS year.

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.

It's sad how people don't seem to know that the whole idiom is, 'the customer is always right in matters of taste.'

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.

A couple of days ago I was in a museum dedicated to the Dutch resistance during WW2. Attendees were given the opportunity to leave a note on the wall.
