Saturn Devouring His Son from Goya's Black Paintings. And Len Lye's Universe, a sculpture I saw at ACMI many years ago now. www.lenlyefoundation.com/sculptures/u...

A kneeling person with wide eyes and gaping mouth holds a small body up to their mouth as if eating it. The body is headless, with blood over the shoulders and arm in the larger person's mouth. The background is dark and indistinct.

Both! Rory is my older whippet, named after jokes from both The Simpsons and Doctor Who.

Two panels. First a microphone held in front of a cat with long fluffy grey and silver fur. The cat is looking at the microphone. Caption says Sir, are you aware you are a cat? Second, the cat lifts its head to stare at the speaker, seemingly shocked by the question.

A grey and white whippet, curled up on a large cushion with a cozy blanket, in front of a candle giving a warm glow to the scene.

With alt text, because it is true and deserves a wider audience

The Dread Pirate Roberts guides the Princess Bride through the Swamp of Despair, telling her his backstory. He says "3 years he said that. Good night Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."

Whoops, I forgot to share this on BlueSky: I’m Centre For Accessibility’s Specialist of the year, alongside Keeley Johnson (Keeley’s Cause) as Advocate of the year, and many websites and apps with exemplary accessibility! Check out the winners: www.accessibility.org.au/australian-a...

The time I told a wanna-be manosphere guy that he was wrong about the meaning of aposemitism.

Tweet from Alexander Cortes: Unnatural hair colors in woman are a warning signal to stay away, Its an example Aposematism-the phenomenon of poisonous animals in nature advertising their toxicity and lethality. (Typos faithfully reproduced from original). My reply: Aposematism is there to warn off predators, not sexual partners. If you're repelled by it, it's working.

Repost the first album you bought with your own money

Album cover. The Honeymoon is Over, by The Cruel Sea is written in white on a black background. A too-close bunch of dried rosebuds fills the bottom left. A glass ball dripping with a clear liquid hangs like a moon in the top right.
