Typhlosion is my favorite Pokemon EVER and the TCG knew it when they made the Psychic-Type Cyndaquil line (Psychic is my favorite type) lol

As in every Monday, it was uploaded as stock art yesterday but I was not here to tell you. It will be available as such on my Patreon until June. www.patreon.com/posts/stock-... #ttrpg #stockart #bsnm #bestiary #creaturedesign #cat #indierpg

My LAST big long run of my training block! 22 miles!! I got it done this morning, and I did it at race pace! 😁✊🏻 I’m so ridiculously proud of myself. This has been the hardest 14 weeks of my life! 😭 But I’m HERE! Now it’s time to enter my taper. The Inaugural SATX Marathon is THREE weeks away! 😎 🏃🏻‍♀️

Btw if you ever wondered what firewheel seeds look like… 😁 🌿🌱

Finished up sowing a good number of seeds I’ve collected off spent heads and seed pods while on runs! I planted some native seed mixes from Native American Seed back in early spring that yielded lots of blooms. The firewheels blessed me with MANY seeds! I got them all scattered and sowed. 😁✊🏻 🌿🌱

A thistle in November?! Well ok then. Go for it summer flower. #BloomScrolling 🌿

AHEM WHY ARE U FLOWERING YOU ARE A FIREWHEEL AND IT’S NOVEMBER EXPLAIN YOURSELF 🔥🛞🌱 (I’m prepping the no-mow areas today for fall time seed sowing)

We got some more Northern lights last night and instead of using my Iphone I tried my best to use my DSLR. I struggle with night photography but thought I would give it a shot so with tripod in hand I went out to the middle of the golf course and did my best. #photography #northernlights

A Red Fox in a tree looking absolutely DEVIOUS 🦊 😈 #mammals #foxes

Call me silly, but I legit wasn’t aware that the ISS (International Space Station) moved that heckin’ fast lol

Certain meat-eating practices can prevent animal and environmental suffering. Culling invasive or overpopulated species, eating roadkill that might otherwise spread parasites or disease (that are destroyed in the cooking process) hunting wild game to avoid supporting factory farming etc.

What does it mean when you find TWO road pennies heads-up right next to each other while in your last tempo run of the training block? 🤔☝🏻 🏃🏻‍♀️

Forest rose (turkey tail mushroom)

Eastern Red Bat (Lasiurus borealis)! At first I thought I found a big, fuzzy gall. But it was a wonderful little snoozing bat! (May 2021)

This week was a pullback! Finished off week 13 with a solid BUT SUPER WINDY 16-miler. 😁✊🏻 NEXT SUNDAY IS MY LAST LONG RUN OF MY TRAINING BLOCK AHHH (22-mi!) Then finally my sweet sweet taper! 😭 I’m so TIRED lol I’m so mentally, emotionally, and physically fatigued I’m practically delirious lmfao 🏃🏻‍♀️😵‍💫

I know Texas gets dunked on a lot but I genuinely feel like people here are some of the hardest fighters despite everything against us, we deal with some of the worst gerrymandering and vote suppression because republicans know they’re fucked as soon as this state flips.

So I went to Six Flags for the first time today and rode my very first roller coaster and lemme tell y’all…….it wasn’t a very good time lmfao Never getting on one of those things again lmfao 🎢

#SanDiego locals, on Dec 7 the Volcan Mountain Foundation is hosting an artist’s reception for their 2025 grant recipients (me!) where I’ll be discussing my painting “Forest Treasures - Mountain Lion” based on my Volcan Mountain residency. Hope to see you there! volcanmt.org/events/event...

Another morning, another dying toenail that I had to cut out. I love being a long distance runner. 🥲✊🏻

Worst photos ever because I took them through my home office window while at my desk…but! The yellow-rumped warblers (“butter butts” 😁) have returned to my neck of the woods! Their arrival marks fall time-for-real for me, even if we only have cooler weather in the mornings right now lol 🪶🌿

2025 is flying by… 💨 🪶☀️🌵

Dung beetles know where they want to go. They roll, push or shove their dung ball & every few seconds they stop pushing to climb on top of the ball to make sure they are going in the right direction. This dung beetle male is just climbing down after a look around. More info in alt text #insects

Saw this lovely group of Sandhill Cranes a couple of weeks ago. They were part of a much, much larger flock, grazing in a stubble field. I wonder how far they’ve travelled since then? #birds 🌿

Got my 21-miler done this morning! 😁✊🏻 With the temperature in the 40s-50s F in the mornings, my pace has seen an incredible improvement over my summer paces. Today was an incredible effort! Week 12 complete! I have TWO more weeks with my 22-miler on Nov 16th! Then finally! My glorious taper! 🙌🏻 🏃🏻‍♀️😎

I spent the afternoon at the kitchen table shelling out/organizing seeds from the native wildflower spent heads and seed pods/legumes I harvested while on my runs in the spring and summer! I was able to get through 3 paper sacks. I still have a few more sacks to go, then I’ll sow them very soon! 🌿🌱

We got the kitties a 5.5-ft cat tower yesterday. Today is flea treatment day aka Fitz has to wear a baby shirt or he tears himself up trying to lick off the medication. I came home from lunch with a friend to this. I love my silly baby-shirt flea-medicated boy. 😭🥹 🐈‍⬛🗼

A wee bit of fungi. Shaggy scalycaps that have grown quite big. #fungifriday #fungi #naturephotography

Count Grackula? 🧛🏻 Happy Hallowe’en! #birds

Trick-or-treater goodies! I’m so excited, I hope we have a lot of visits! This is our first Halloween in the new house so here’s to hoping we see some great costumes tonight! 😄 👻🎃🦇

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

Weird, but I really missed my kitchen while I was away lmfao. Ignore the white foldout table. We’re getting an actual kitchen island…just other house stuff took priority lol 👩🏻‍🍳

Birds of Poland

We had backyard time. It was chilly and very windy. 🌬️🐈‍⬛🐈🌲

Reunited with my silly boy again after two weeks. 🥹💜🐈‍⬛

Happy First Day of Heater Smell to all in Texas who celebrate 😌

Me not having an original thought on Bluesky 😔✊🏻 (Monarch on Gregg’s mistflower) 🌿🦋

I got a sweet ass tee to add to my growing collection of sweet ass band tees. 🎸

Also! Tada! My Pokemon Legends Z-A trainer sona! As always, I’m a Psychic-Type trainer 😁🔮 Which…lemme say, having a mono-Psychic team makes this (and pretty much all Pokemon games) hard as hell LOL Meet Sophie, Ottilie, Louis, and Mathéo! Not pictured are Étoile the Starmie and Morgane the Delphox.

American badger for @rosenlynx.bsky.social! Thank you SO MUCH for your support and even more so for your patience. 🥹💜 I’m so appreciative! 🌿🦡🎨

My running buddy and I found a bridge with some Mexican free-tailed bats in it while on our 15-miler this morning in Southern Walnut Creek trail Listen to that chatter! Also CW for Stephanie voice jump scare lol 🌿🦇🌉

Easy-paced 15-mile run this morning on the South Walnut Creek trail! I didn’t even know this fantastic route existed until yesterday. Glad I found it! It was so beautiful! Then I grabbed coffee at Flitch Coffee in east Austin. What a gem! 10/10 day. 🏃🏻‍♀️☕️
