A black and white photo of a man suffering from smallpox. His face is riddled with pustules.

I posted a 1912 photo of a man with smallpox and someone asked if it was AI. That says something about the moment weโ€™re living in: because of vaccination, weโ€™re now so far removed from this virus that real images of it look fake. #medicalhistory #vaccines #vaccineswork #skystorians

I promised @gregjenner.bsky.social I'd share a bit more about John Hodgson the 173-page footnote guy.

Let's start with a note her wrote to himself while dying:

"I have raised persons and families from oblivion, while the genealogies of the great interest myself no more than those of the poor." /1๐Ÿงต

Ah. Not literally blacked out. That's probably they've got a low bit depth and set the levels to get clear text, but that compresses all the greys below to black

Shame

Why are they like that? Shitty scans I could get, but it'd be an image already? So not storing a photo would not save any space or effort

A robot in the form of a claw hammer with banded arms and legs. Its face is on the head of the hammer and it looks very, very angry, while it's pointing with one of its hands and the other is tightly clenched. Basically, you wouldn't want to be a nail right now. Text in the bottom left reads, "suggested by @SandyDriskell".

โ€œThe Yearning for Adventureโ€
giclรฉe art print 

Hark! What was that?!
Our feline friend has heard mysterious noises emanating from out in the garden. Were the sounds an โ€˜itโ€™ or a โ€˜themโ€™? She thinks she sees shadowy shapes dart across the lawn and slither vthrough the shrubbery. The poor cat is trapped indoors. All she wants is to leap through that window into a moonlit landscape of wild curiosity filled with unknown and unseen excitements - and perhaps an exploit or two of good old mischief.

A robot in the form of a flag attached to a flagpole. It has a smiling face in the middle and on its surface are sections of the flags of Wales, Britain, Europe, and Ukraine (though the last one is hard to see because the image is greyscale). Each flag blends smoothly into the others, as if in a state of motion. The Small Robots Remastered logo in the bottom left reads, "Small Robots Remasted."

Okay we have 6 days to raise $4500 in order for SLEEPING WIZARDS to meet its goal and Iโ€™m getting v nervous so

Please back our comic!! Itโ€™s a cool fantasy dungeon-crawl adventure w a team of lovable misfits, and IMO itโ€™s some of my best comic work to date! ๐Ÿ™

Home - Not in our name Not In our Name: Women in support of the trans+community

More than 91,900 women have already signed to say that trans exclusion is not in our name.

Weโ€™re now aiming for 100,000 signatures, and it would be incredible to reach that mark by tonight with the help of everyone at the Trans Mission Live concert and everyone following along from home.

Work your way through these posts.

These are people, just trying to live their lives, just like me. Except the government aren't trying to legislate me out of existence.

These are people.

A robot in the form of a book with '2026' in the top right of the front cover. Halfway down is a clasp with a keyhole that wraps around the outer edge to keep it locked shut. The robot has two banded legs at the bottom, one of which is stretched out as if aiming a kick and it has a pair of very angry-looking eyes (but no mouth).

475) Diarybot. Keep your private musings safe with this security-conscious robot. If the tamper-proof lock isn't deterrent enough, it can deliver stern looks, little kicks or, failing that, it can just run and hide. #SmallRobotsRemastered

I'm so disappointed when I see really cool artwork in a post and go to share it l, only to realise it doesn't have alt-text. Because then I don't share it. And I want to share cool art with people. Please add alt-text to any images you post. You can even enable in-app reminders to help you remember.

โ‚ฌ1000 over two days is highly unlikely but very sale saves us from accumulating more debt!
