I usually follow back, but at the moment I can only handle so much societal collapse, it's not you personally. I am enraged too, but I need to remain functional to support my family.

The lovers, bewitched by a magnetic moon, come to life through meticulous detail and superb use of light.
Every inch of the painting explains life, intimacy,love and the sublime joy of being together

Hey @safety.bsky.app , I don't want my personal information shared with epic games and I'm at sea in international waters and I've proven it with GPS, so how about you knock it off with the age verification bullshit?

I didn't know what this was but I had to find and listen immediately when I saw the cover art. What a phenomenal photograph. (Also what is with people who turn off replies quote reposts on an impersonal account?)

Some deep-sea facts for you! High pressure changes protein folding, requiring specialized enzymes to function at depth. Deep-sea life isn’t just tougher. It runs on proteins that often stop working at surface pressure. europepmc.org/article/med/...

I was having a shit day, this is so sweet, and made me realise my personal troubles aren't that bad. They were so brave. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...
It was a photo that, if leaked, was illegal. Now it's on public display
What started as a chance discovery of an old photo at a Dallas antique store has spawned a collection of more than 4,000 images of male couples, more than 100 of which are now on display in Canberra.

For the first time in too many years I got the camera out for some night photography. I'm a little rusty. I need to get a feel for the sensor noise behaviour again.

Reminder: now's a good time to clear out stuff you don't use anymore. Everybody's broke & buying stuff for the holidays. Drop good stuff to thrift stores/ buy nothing/fb marketplace BEFORE the holidays hit.
It's good for climate & just being nice to each other.
I'm clearing out old cameras today.

A strange bright burst in space baffled astronomers for more than a year. Now, they’ve solved the mystery
The quest to pin down the source of the burst led to a derelict 60-year-old satellite.
