Happy Mario day!

But my favorite pictures from Venice is not cats but this combination that I think of as “missed connections.”

Close-up photo of three bandanas printed with honeybee and honeycomb designs laid out overlapping each other. One is yellow with brown ink, one is black with yellow ink, and one is black with metallic gold ink.

Photo of an enamel pin of a celestial-themed bumblebee. The bee is facing right in a rounded pose with wings sticking out above it. It has a large round eye and sparkles on the body with constellation-like patterns as the wing veins. The antennae and some of the legs are mostly depicted by gold metal. The pin is resting on a blue cloth surface with some round gold accents. Mark at the bottom of the image reads "shop.mothmonar.ch"

Photo of an enamel pin by Moth Monarch based on a bumblebee. The design is geometric, with straight lines forming the striped body, white wings with simplified vein detail, and legs and antennae. It's on a purple backing card that reads "Insecta Geometrica Enamel Pin" on top and "The Art of Mary Capaldi" on the bottom.

Aren't bees the best? I love making bee stuff!
I'm an artist not a marketing expert so you should just COME LOOK AT THE BEES OK 🐝🐝🐝

Three ceramic pendants of fish on a grey countertop. On top is a blue white and black samurai betta fish with silver accents. Bottom left is a larger koi betta fish which is red, blue, orange, black and yellow (named Ziggy Stardust) right is an orange and black mollie with gold accents (named Halloween Boi).

So @bensdecoy.bsky.social (best partner ever) has been commissioning pendants of my fish sons from @kness.bsky.social for me for the last 4 or so years. We just received the one for Sam Porter Fishes( top with the chain attached) and I can’t get over how beautiful it is. 🥲

Hey fellow scientists, I'm just letting you know that if you're promoting something with some junky AI image, I'm not gonna click. You've got a workshop, a conference, a new paper?

Just not gonna bother. You want a bespoke image? Hire an illustrator.

Not only that but like... why playing the rip-off, if you can play the og ones??? (original in huge quotation marks for palworld oof)

it offers nothing, at least people started playing Pal cause it was an option for people with no nintendo consoles, plus other gameplay aspects not present in poke

A reaction pic of marge simpson covering herself in shame.

alsdfjalsdkfj not gonna lie guys, I actually think P*lworld is fun, that other rip-off yeah, that looks like trash...
