Saw some very cool turtles and tortoises recently!

Just so we are clear. There is nothing wrong with being trans or autistic. Don't give an inch on that

The wizard makes smoked chicken with green chile white radish and crusty bread.

Ponderosa pine smells like butterscotch. Go ahead, sniff one the next time you're in the western US. Some say "vanilla", some say "oh no, my nose is covered in sap." Let's talk about birds, butterscotch, forest fires, blue wood, & boring beetles. But mostly this thread is about terpenes.

Birch Queen, walker of Autumn, herald of Winter. Had a lot of fun with this one!

all that to say is that the comics form is open to relentless exploration - it's a delight to keep trying things to find new ways to get ideas/narrative across and I'm always excited to keep pursuing it. Onward to the next spread!

i would again like to remind everyone that NEGATING A FRAME REINFORCES IT "he's not really targeting criminals" makes it an argument about criminality "this is a fascist attack" states what is actually happening START WITH WHAT IT IS not what it isn't

Of COURSE a landlord business would behave like complete fools. (Requiring specific colors on specific days of the week? JESUS.)

This landscaping lark is a young winn’s game. 🥵 I’m too old for all this. (There’s moss all over the steep bit of the bank, I’d like to save it if I could and just have it be moss and no grass.)

I see your, "remove sound description from closed captions that annoy me, a hearing person" and I counter w/ put more details in the CC. I want the sound descriptions. I want the lyrics. I read 4 languages so miss me with the “speaks foreign lang." Give me exhaustive and insufferable deaf-ass CC 😂
