Pen and watercolour sketches of two Dippers on the river Wharfe in North Yorkshire. Both birds were singing and preening. The Dippers in Britain have more chestnut on their front than in other parts of Europe.

I will (whale) adapt
A woven patch featuring stages of evolution of the whale, a reminder of resilience, change, and adaptation.
A little reminder I found to be important, especially in these times.

Animal grooms as folklore motif often meant liberation from a life being condemned to, wife as a form of property- animal brides often meant a guy gets a wife to do his bidding trapped in a marriage to him-

The tiny yellow-green liverwort Colura calyptrifolia on a Downy Birch trunk in woodland in East Lothian, Scotland, on 8th March 2026.
The tiny yellow-green liverwort Colura calyptrifolia on a twig of a fallen Douglas Fir tree in woodland in East Lothian, Scotland, on 8th March 2026.
Excited to find the tiny western oceanic liverwort Colura calyptrifolia new to East Lothian (SE Scotland) today. Two small tufts of it in a damp area of woodland: one on a Downy Birch (Betula pubescens) trunk and the other on a fallen Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii).
i'm very intrigued as to why the foreskin was so important to this story
It's International Women's Day! :)
Maybe I should go back to classical archaeology, I miss spending my time researching and writing about phallic pottery.

Schistochilopsis incisa (Scapaniaceae) growing on a rotting log in N Wales. This liverwort has been reported from every continent except Australasia and Antarctica, but it is polyphyletic, so probably includes multiple undescribed species with smaller ranges. @bbsbryology.bsky.social
πΌRemember the powers that be rely on your despair. That's why they bombard people from every angle; they know we're too powerful when we're organized, joyful, & loving each other. If all you can do is survive that's still an act of resistance. It takes millions of small actions to move mountains ππ
Happy Caturday. π±
Some cool mushrooms I found
You all like these cool mushrooms?
Close up photo of a group of Cladonia podetia. Each podetium is light grey in colour and shaped roughly like a golf tee. The top/bowl of each podetium is ringed with numerous small, roundish bright red blobs. These blobs are called apothecia - they are reproductive, spore producing structures.
Cladonia lichens. NWT, Canada.

A chonky black with a white chest & white bikini belly is sprawled on her back on a fuzzy gray cat bed with a silly look on her face. All four of her white-tipped paws are curled. She is adorable & I would die for her.
The news is horrifying infuriating depressing so here's my grrrl Io being a happy little harbor seal. #caturday #catsofbluesky

Elements from Egyptian and Greek mythology are combined in this delicate figure. The view taken here is that Anubis is represented, wearing military costume and breastplate that signify his role as a fighter against the enemies of Osiris. He holds a staff topped by a cone-shaped object - the thyrsus carried by followers of Dionysus with whom the Greeks equated Osiris. In his other hand he carries a falcon. On the other hand, the snout and ears appear short for Anubis and more like those of a cat, and the short dress can be worn by Artemis who is associated with Bastet. The identity of the figure is, therefore, not certain. Roman, from Egypt, 2nd-3rd century CE. Height: 1 15/16 in. (4.9 cm) Met Museum, New York (67.190)
This lβil fella is a gold amulet from Roman Egypt, possibly representing the Egyptian god Anubis as a defender of Osiris-Dionysus. He wears a military tunic and breastplate, signifying him as a defender of Osiris; he also holds a thyrsus of Dionysus, equated with Osiris. πΊ 1/

In Chinese myth, Emperor Zhuanxu(ι‘ι ) ruled at a moment of cosmic excess, when gods and humans mingled until the world unraveled. To restore order, he shattered the Heavenly Ladder, the passage between Heaven and Earth. 1/2
