What appears to be a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field is actually a normal sized praying mantis that's actually sitting on my windshield
Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.

a screenshot of a bluesky interaction. the first post is by bluesky user spikermonster posting a drawing he made of an adult lydia deetz from the beetlejuice cartoon, wearing a victorian vampire outfit. the caption says "of the palette variations i made i think this one might be my favorite." the palette has lydia in teal lighting in front of four gothic windows showing a purple night sky.
the second post is by bluesky user kimifw simply quoting a post by jnxouaquaga which reads "How are you *still* not using alt text
Is it a blatant "fuck you"?
Advertising "I am a dickhead and cannot be forced to care"?
Bc it sure seems like it."
this user has been leaving this quote on several random posts from what it seems.
spikermonster replies: "i’m really not used to using bluesky yet, sorry. i don’t spend much time on here and i’m usually in a hurry, plus describing my own work just feels very strange to me so i get stuck trying to think of how to do it."
i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.

The least skipper's rounded wings and slender body are distinctive. Their checkered antennae have no hooks. Males lack stigmata. The upper sides of the forewings are dark brownish black sometimes having a patch of orange. The hindwing is orange with a broad dark brownish-black band surrounding the orange area completely. The underside of the wings is orange with the hindwing discal area being a little bit darker. The hindwing veins are whitish. Its wingspan ranges from 17 to 26 mm
