“In an age of performative cruelty, kindness is punk as fuck.

Be punk as fuck.”

— Daniel Abraham

The longer I’m around the more I’ve learned life is about perspective. Like who knew the underside of a mushroom could be such an interesting view? I mean the ants & ladybugs probably knew but they weren’t spilling their secrets.

Try to view things a little differently today and just see what happens. Hopefully good things. ❤️

If they think I’m bad now, wait till they find out I’m a vi user.

I have a legitimate #TimberTips today for those who want to hang their own doors.

There is actually a right and wrong way to put your hinges.

See in the picture there is a gap between the hinge blade and the pin? That is you indication that that side should always go on the door.

The other hinge blade has no gap at the top or bottom. This is to support the pin so that over time it doesn't bend from the weight of the door.

You have no idea how often I see these the wrong way around.

Out of nowhere, my nephew just asked, “Do you think Pavlov thought about feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?” and now I’m going to be haunted by this question.

And, on that day, she spread out all the boxed cereals. "Take, eat," she said, and they did eat, and leaving blessed detritus all over the table and floor, she said, "go therefore onto your technology, and bother me no more."

And then she wept.

Any time you need to escape from this world, drop by the PlanetaryLightShow site & watch flickering auroras on Saturn and Jupiter. Beautiful and mind-boggling.

Hilarious protip for dealing with request by email from unethical boss to do something unethical: forward it to security as a suspected phishing attempt.

Firstly, I'd just like to say thank you to all the people who have liked, boosted and commented on my images, and to all the new followers I have. It's rather humbling. 😊

Today's shot comes from a magical day in the Scottish #Highlands, a few years ago, when I was photographing red squirrels.

These charming characters are incredibly agile and can jump great distances between trees.

Here I managed to capture one as it appears to be flying down my lens.

for the local feed: remember mastodon isn't magic and the rules of crime remain the same.
1. don't do crime
2. don't do crime with two people that can be done with one.
3. don't do crime with three people that can be done with two.
4. don't do crime that requires three or more people because one of them is going to be a cop.
5. bonus rule don't write about the crimes you aren't doing anywhere (signal, mastodon, twitter, livejournal, facebook, telegram, whatsapp, your journal)

So I got the raw 3d MRI source files from the hospital. Then I got the software needed to view the MRI in 3d. It let me rotate, slice, and even colorize the images. So **I** generated these images from the raw MRI. It shows my kidney, heart, and skeleton from 4 different angles fully colorized. How cool is that!

I also included some of just the heart and kidneys on its own from the same scan.

A simple and deadly improvised explosive device.
