I hate that the sparkle icon is shorthand for AI. They want us to think it’s magic. Fuck you!!! Magic is when you lose a glob of mustard from your sandwich but it doesn’t land on you. When you win at 20 questions. Sparkles belong to Liberace. A baby’s smiling eyes. I will put you in the ground!!!!!!

quadro 1 - atrás de alguns prédios quadrados duas crianças olham pra cima e gritam "um monstro" "vai destruir tudo". Um lagarto gigante meio godzilla está se aproximando, com expressão neutra, e se volta para elas.

quadro 2 - "Perdão, não quis assustar", diz o lagartão com olhar sereno. "Estou só de passagem, não vou destruir suas casas", completa.

quadro 3 - "Casa o carai", grita a menina. "É tudo datacenter", o garoto explica, enquanto o lagartão se aproxima pra ver

Último quadro - O lagartão e as duas crianças pulando felizes sobre os escombros de pedra, fios e computadores em pedaços

Painting of a Fluminense swallowtail using acrylic ink. The butterfly is mostly black, the body, outer and inner parts of the wings are black or dark grey, but the middle part of the upper wings are white and the middle part of the lower wings are both red and white.
The background is made using red, white and pink ink on a wet surface, giving it a watercolour look. The butterfly is painted in a realistic and detailed style.

The bill from the Tax-man got a bit steep this year, so I would love it if someone who might have been deciding to get som of my art, would decide to to so...

A small possum. A mostly white furry creature with a pink nose and big black eyes like beads. Her ears are also black and white and she has little pink feet.

Having fun with shallow depth of field shots. This thin slice of fungi and moss is the combination of 55 images. The fungi have orangey-tan colored stems with lighter yellow orange caps and stripes that align with the gills. They're surrounded by bright green lush feathers moss.

Photo of a yellow-green crustose lichen growing flat on reddish rock. The lichen is sort of rectangular and is made up of numerous tiny “islands” of yellow-green with black lines separating the islands. In the top left you can see a tiny bit of similar looking, but grey, lichen.

Rhizocarpon sp #lichen in the process of “taking over” another species of crustose lichen. This Rhizocarpon is the yellow-green colour. The species it is taking over is grey…see top, left of pic. A lichenologist recently explained that several species of Rhizocarpon do this.

kind of a disappointing read (her answers, not the article itself). it feels like the wrong lessons were learned: "spend more time campaigning!" instead of "take a harder left stance"

Black and white art. a bunch of small birds noisily chasing after a big eagle which is rushing away from them down towards the bottom of the page. 
This is bird mobbing: the behavior where small prey Birds en masse attack a predator like a hawk or an eagle. By rushing at the predator making lots of noise they can often scare the predator away and occasionally kill it. see the link in the next post. 
The link above is to the artist's shop if you want to buy a print of this art.
