Terracotta statuette of a dog with upright, pricked ears and a fluffy upright tail. He has an oval object - supposedly meat - in his mouth, painted red. Black pigment can still be seen on his ears and the tip of his tail, in addition to some traces of red on his coat.

Every dog owner: ‘What’s that in your mouth?? Omigod, drop it, drop it!’ 😱

This Greek (Boeotian) terracotta dog appears to have a red piece of, um, meat in its mouth. I’m sure he earned it (‘Hey, that dead guy over there wasn’t using this.’)

a tan long-haired dachshund with incredibly floofy ears sits with his front paws on a window sill and his nose pressed up against the window. he's accompanied by his stuffed squirrel friend. their reflections stares back at them. Stevie the dachshund does not see the irony in watching for squirrels with his squirrel friend. he's too busy being locked in on the happenings outside his window.

This is Stevie. He's on squirrel watch. His stuffed friend is also a squirrel, but he's one of the good ones. 14/10 (IG: longdogstevie)

This is Boulder Opal stone from Australia.
.
A type of gemstone that combines a host rock, usually ironstone or sandstone, and a precious opal. As the rock is forming, a silica compound containing water penetrates the rock, and deposits opal in the cracks.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Stunning views crossing a frozen lake last night. And the trail was firm and fast too, which made a nice change from slogging through wet snow (at one point the night before Pulkee and I were doing 1 mph).

This is a chiffchaff. While small numbers overwinter here in the UK, hearing their song ‘chiff chaff chiff chaff’ for me really signals the start of Spring, I know I’ll be hearing one any day 🥰

A perfect rainbow—a double if you squint a bit—at the top of Snow Canyon near St. George, Utah.

Slot canyon, New Mexico style. Different geology from the sandstone wonders of Arizona but beautiful in its own way.

Lithium Plume in Our Atmosphere Traced Back to Returning SpaceX Rocket Space junk returning to the Earth is introducing metal pollution to the pristine upper atmosphere as it burns up on re-entry, a new study has found.

Hey, so all those rocket launches people love cheering on are probably destroying the upper atmosphere. Repairing the ozone layer in the 90s is one of our all-time great achievements as a global civilization; private rocket men seem intent on reversing that.
