(1/2) #Israel's Defense Minister #Gallant: "We are fighting human #animals and we act accordingly."
President #Herzog: "It is an entire nation out there that is responsible. It's not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved. It's absolutely not true."
Minister of Heritage #Eliyahu:
"North Gaza is more beautiful than ever. Blowing up and flattening everything is amazing. Once we are finished, we will hand over the lands of #Gaza to the fighting soldiers and settlers"
days 39-40 of my #100DaysChallenge of drawing animals. I continued working on some watercolors and more intentionally to be finished stuff - with the result that except for the elephants that were actually finished at this point, the rest is still languishing in my room in the same state like, 2 weeks or so later. Gah. I hope I'll have the energy to actually finish them this week!
A post I made on FB about my favorite animals led to a whole lot of people realizing that pink fairy armadillos are an actual thing, and it is delightful to watch 😆
I guess I'm now spreading the gospel of the pink fairy armadillo. They are real, y'all.
With the Apollo app for Reddit shutting down soon, I’m going to need to start relying on Mastodon for all of my cute animal photo, gif, and story needs. #Apollo#Reddit#Animals#SmallTalk
I created a free #K12 interactive #science quiz for #students to discover which Order a Mammal belongs to. If you'd like to beta test it and let me know if you find glitches, I'd appreciate it. I've stared at the screen for too long and am no longer seeing the branching questions objectively. The plugin limits me to a max of 25 categories, so I had to get creative. TIA for the feedback. https://handinhandhomeschool.com/teaching/science/mammal-quiz/
Instead of being screamed at for attention by "influencers" (whatever THAT means), here on Mastodon/the fedi, I have great, regular conversations with REAL PEOPLE (that's the key here! REAL people!) about music, TV, science, and tech stuff, and I see art and photos of animals and things in space. It's just nice.
There are no categories for animals in the Academy Awards, though last month, the Academy announced on X, "The Oscar for bestest boi goes to Messi from Anatomy of a Fall." Esquire magazine recognized this grave injustice last year, when it gave Jenny the Donkey from "Banshees of Inisherin" the first annual Best Animal Actor award. Here's their breakdown of animal actors this year. We want to know, what was the most iconic animal performance of all time.
They started dropping hints about the Mammal of the Year 2024 (Hungary does this every year). People can try to guess what it is.
So far we know it's a nocturnal predator that hides in bushes and rocks, mostly eats fresh meat, and has retractable claws. Also it occurs in most of Europe and Africa.
I have my guess, what's yours?
My adorable little friend needed babysitting again today. I placed a log in a strategic place as a makeshift baby gate to encourage staying in the ground squirrel corner. In the last picture you can see the injured mom doing her best to keep an eye out 🥺 #nature#wildlife#squirrels#animals#animalphotography
I was asked to do a series of books of animal folktales. I am in early planning stages, and musing what would be the best system to organize the series by... any input?
