Crocodylians surviving the K-Pg extinction.

Given all the intense stuff in my life and outside of it, it's been really difficult to get into Halloween this year. That being said, I'm gonna be watching IT for the first time. Hopefully that'll change my tune. 😈

Drew a little guy for Halloween. 🎃

the duality of man

Perfect way to sum it up. 10/10

Totoko the eel is the mascot for the Tokyo restaurant chain Nadai Unatoto. An electric eel, she charges everyone she meets with a burst of vitality. She likes swimming in sauce and napping in a rice cooker.

Aotearoa New Zealand is considered the birthplace of penguins. With the first true penguin, Waimanu manneringi, appearing around 61 million years ago. Here's Ariel alongside two modern penguins, the little blue and the yellow eyed. #oc #penguins #nzbirds

Meet my OCs, Ariel the Waimanu and her human friend, Jade. They're the main characters in my upcoming short story, 'The Waimanu's Ghost', which will be published in issue 11 of Suburban Witchcraft, December 2025. #writingcommunity #ocs #aotearoabirds

Gonna be watching Good Boy (2025) at the cinema this evening. It's a pain in the bum that the film is limited release (again) and I have to traverse Lower Hutt to watch it. But at least it's screening in the mall the Build a Bear is in, so that makes it a little more worth it. 😗

Just received this creature in the mail. It's bow-leg McGee, friggin' love her! 😂 #plushies #dollsky #lafufu #labubu

I recall drawing my own rendition of Papiliomarus years ago, when there was only one photo of the fossil available online. Damn, it's a lot weirder than I initially thought! 🤯

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

This is why it's important to keep creating things more than ever. To support fellow artists more than ever. To be human more than ever.

Oh my God, I just got my first short story acceptance! The Waimanu's Ghost is going to be in issue 11 of Suburban Witchcraft come December. (Funny how December is becoming my biggest month yet, huh?) #writingcommunity #writing #amwriting #shortstory

It's kinda funny. After not writing poetry for years, here I am, back at it again. With two poems published and one due for release in December. It's like something inside me woke up from a long nap and carried on like nothing happened. 🪷

I just got two poems accepted within five hours, what the h- #poetry #writingcommunity #amwriting

Glad to see Karearea win #boty 2025. Even Hoiho got to make it into the top ten so...

I’ve been asked about de-extinction a lot this weekend, especially whether it’s scientifically possible. No, it’s not, and Colossal has already been caught lying about their projects. Extinction is forever. We have to grieve and use that feeling to protect the future of life that is here now.

i love you HKIA \ #sanrio #hkia #hellokittyislandadventure #cogimyun \

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

Look at how small the Cogimyun figure that just arrived in the mail is! #sanrio #cogimyun #sosmol

Cogimyun (traditional) / #sanrio #cogimyun #hkia #hellokittyislandadventure /

One reason I love Cogimyun so much, is that her dreams of becoming an onigiri reminded me of this old commercial from my childhood. #sanrio #cogimyun #ifthisgraincandoitsocanyou youtu.be/AqI9gAbncpk?...

I just had to make a fanart of this adorable Fairy. I heard the DLC is amazing and I want it! For now, here's Cogimyun. #fanart #hellokittyislandadventure #sanrio #cogimyun #cuteart #artistsonbluesky

Sooooo... Have you guys voted for #newzealandbirdoftheyear yet? I picked yellow-eyed penguin, tui, NZ falcon, little blue penguin and blue duck in case you're wondering. 😗

Writing: Sometimes you can't see the true nature of your story until you get all of it out on paper or the screen. #amwriting Until then, it can keep surprising you. And sometimes seeing the true nature of a story doesn't happen until the 2nd or 3rd draft. - Wrtr Be #Writing #Writer #Author #BookSky

I was going through my old poetry books again and... I don't remember drawing this. 💀

Welp, I just got four rejection letters in one week. So that's fun. 🥀 #writingcommunity #amwriting (I'll cope, don't worry. I'm just not used to having so many rejections back to back!)

Jumping ginger root, my #charmkins collection is growinggg!! 😁💗 #dolls #80stoys #dollsky
