A needle felted Blue tit - a wee change from the dogs

AND EVEN MORE #SurvivingEarth FOOTAGE! Our first look at CYAMODUS!

I doubt I will ever see a more inspired bit of upcycling.

Had an intriguing editorial discussion recently: how did people in the past talk about 'minutes' when they didn't have watches or standardised times? How does that affect your thinking? Come down an Elizabethan/Jacobean rabbit hole with me. 1/

The fat round ones are my favorite

It's taken a few days but this tail is coming along quite nicely. 66 million year old gator.

Thanks so much everyone, the Critter Quest enamel pin kickstarter is funded 🥳 The Pandadin and the Capybarbarian are having a lil celebration! But their quest is not over - where will the next stretch goal take them, I wonder? kickstarter.smaydaydraws.com

Some comic pages from my fairytale-horror comic

NGC2335, the Seagull nebula, another ongoing project I’ve been working on for about three weeks. In this case as well, this image was obtained by capturing the radiation emitted in the ionized hydrogen spectrum and partly in oxygen, with about 15 hours of integration time. >>> 🔭 #Astrophotography

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

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.

I love that bluesky has just started erratically jerking up and down every time I scroll in the app. Really great experience.

I love Snorse

Let’s make 2026 the year of the bog. The world’s most unique and interesting plants, clean water, cooler climate. Bogs deserve our thanks, care, and deep respect. Please join me and love a bog today.

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

very amused by depictions of the year change that show the old year as an old man and the new year as a young woman. every year is trans now. change my mind.

“many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers” is deep wisdom and you don’t need to reproduce to embrace it!

A year of Nimbus zoomies is the only recap I’ve paid attention to

i wanted to spend the holidays writing once we cleared the mad rush to prep christmas! instead i am full of coughs & eye gunk!! genuinely so mad about this. i felt slightly better yesterday, got a tiny bit of writing done & then my eyes went WOE GUNK BE UPON YE & my lungs went WOE COUGH BE UPON YE.

Dear god the ebay chat interface is bad

it's a harsh world out there and not everyone is going to give you credit for all the great stuff you do. but Sandal thinks you have done awesome this year. he doesn't know how you do it. he also doesn't even know how to open the refrigerator but that isn't important rn

I was planning to write tons this week but I've got a fucking miserable cold with conjunctivitis lol

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Icy rivers、Scarlet castle #oc #illustration

I've recently acquired a macro lens attachment for my phone. Still working out how to use it but it's fun! Happy #Invertefest from some bug friends!

Yes, this forever!

I lied I have one more piece in me before the year ends. This is an experimental illustration though. I'm not great with the flat graphic stuff but I thought I'd give it a go again.

It's a good day for a nap ♥️ Happy #Caturday 😽

Since it came up in a conversation I ended up googling if the rhinos in the Salzburg Zoo get out in Winter and not only do they, it also makes for some impressive photos Images by Manuel Bukovics

The trumpeting call of a Sandhill Crane hanging in the air. I heard a Sandhill Crane pair calling down the trail and wondered if I could see their call in the current conditions.I quickly tootled over to the Cranes, working to get an angle of where their call could be seen

The act of writing is *thinking*. If you do not allow yourself to think thoughts that feel wrong, you will never get a feel for what feels *right*.

I want to wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays with this quick sketch of two Microraptorine dinosaurs in the snow ❄️. I hope everybody is having a great day and enjoying the presents! 🎁 🎄 🎅 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Workplace conflict.

Shhhh! Don’t wake the Common Nighthawk. I thought this would fit Rob’s #BirdoftheDay theme of #SideProfiles We saw this guy sleeping on a fence rail in Deschutes County in 2022. If you look closely you might see a spider crawling in its head.

Got to say that's my worst being performance since the infamous oil cake of 2020.

Not my day today. Our pay didn't come in so I had to call finance and chase it which is not my job but the guy whose job it is is off. Then I thought I'd lost my engagement ring in the road, only to find it in my pocket. Now it turns out I didn't buy the sugar/spice I need for Christmas baking.

My uni job was a theatre usher. Absolute best time for someone to have a medical emergency was opening night of the opera. Had to crowd control the various doctors rappelling from the balcony.

Megalonyx, a ground sloth, rests among the snow.

This is one of the hardest and most interesting things about telling stories imo. It's really easy to found your narrative ideas on things you don't actually believe, like, or care about when they're ubiquitous to the stories you read/watch. Untangling that is part of being a writer.
