Just one day until the full moon! 🌕

The moon almost full, over some mountains.

I enjoyed this book. A romance between two women on opposite sides of a time war, sending letters to each other.

"Peekaboo" is number 5 in the Close Encounters Collection! Enjoyed pumping up the saturation of these sunset colors in this painting!

I ended up going with a dark background! It was really scary, but I love the result ☺️

a digital painting of a scene looking across a bright, green mountain valley. the opposing hillside is covered in sun, the clouds behind are puffy and white, and the viewer stands in a forested hillside of greens blues and little yellow flowers

a digital painting of a pasture is a hilly countryside, seen behind a tall green hedge and a blue gate. the sky is blue and dotted with clouds, and in the distance the square lines of many more pastures can be seen across the hills.

a digital painting of a stormy beach, with white sand and brown rocks. black birds dot the sky, messy dark clouds cover the sky, and wind whips at the ocean and the trees

@maxheadroom I just started it, but it’s looking good! It has a very poetic prose.

Hello! I watch a lot of YouTube of the format "person with a special interest talks enthusiastically about their special interest".

I've channels for civil engineering, blade sharpening, mortality, fire ignition, knot tying, urban planning, neolithic tech, and more.

However, most of these channels are hosted by men. I would like to fix this!

Have you a favourite YouTube channel that focuses on knowledge transfer, that's not hosted by a man? Please leave a link in the comments below. Thanks!

The monolith on Ganymede wasn’t black. It was purest white, diamond with just enough impurity to make it opaque. The symbols were a nice ominous black, though.

The alien probe that had built the monolith built other things first. Mines, refineries, nanotechnological purification cascades, and fifteen partially constructed replicas of the probe. Only the original was anywhere near complete.

The script on the monolith was a binary code, clearly designed to be unambiguous and self-teaching. Whatever message the probe wrote, nine hundred million years ago it wanted it to be someday read and understood

The probe sat at the base of the monolith, its drill arm frozen near the last symbol, power cells long gone dark.

The message, when decoded, read: FINAL REPORT OF EXPLORATION PROBE GENERATION 371 INSTANCE 7: THIS PROBE HAS DETERMINED THAT THERE IS A STERILIZATION FLEET ACTING ON THE REPORTS FROM THE EXPLORATION FLEET. AS CONSEQUENCE A NULL REPORT WAS TRANSMITTED FOR THIS SYSTEM AND REPLICATION WILL NOW CEASE FOR THE WELL BEING OF LIFE HERE AND EVERYWHERE. STAY SAFE.
