Seeing people criticize Cho Chang is so painful, like they're usually *almost* right, but they go ahead and say she's the only Asian character or claim her first and last names come from different cultures and use the wrong cultures. Dunking on racism by revealing one's own ignorance.

The ryerunner, a predatory herbivore from an alien planet covered with wheat. Much of their diet comes from hunting other herbivores in order to steal their stomach contents.

Also, it's just the website's format, but I've been losing it over how the article only lists the cast's voice acting credits, like what do you MEAN "Shingo Katori (Akazukin Chacha and Friends: Mononoke Shima no Naki)" he's the nation's beloved baby boy (age 49) 😭

Shingo's finally going to high school 💚🥺

Despite the horrors, happy groundhog day! 😀

European goldfinch Watercolour on silk mounted on paper, 84 × 118 mm. Referenced from a photograph by Paul Fisher.

#BirdArtWeek2026 - #PhotoNotAvailable St. Kitts Bullfinch, possibly extinct. There are some possible sightings, but nobody has ever been able to take a proper photo of it. More info about this bird and my painting process on my blog! Holbein acryla gouache on a 4x4" wood coaster #art 🐡 🪶

My eBay feed started showing me Beanie Babies and Beanie Buddies I'd never seen before, and I was so enamored by Dizzy the Dalmatian that I had to draw her #BeanieBaby #BeanieBabies

It’s probably weird to say that, but I do have a lot of personal attachment to cockroaches. When I draw 1 roach, there are always another 10 more I wanna do! But there’s only so much canvas space so I had to make choices … swipe to see the species list!

Break Through #art

For #BirdArtWeek2026 - #RuleBreakers I chose the bearded vulture because it eats bones. Other animals eat bones, like hyenas, but the bearded vulture lives almost exclusively on bones...like 90% of their diet is just bones!!...and that feels illegal. #art #acrylicgouache #acrylagouache #sciart 🪶

Over halfway through #BirdArtWeek2026! For #SpectacularSeabirds I chose the American White Pelican. I am awed by how graceful they are in the air despite their bulk. A bit more about my thoughts and color choices on my blog. Holbein acrylic gouache on a 4x4 wood coaster. #art #sciart 🪶

A Northern Flicker (lower left), a bird who likes ants, was following around a Pileated Woodpecker, who was hammering out holes in tree while looking for ants. After the Pileated would leave a spot, the Flicker would check it out to see if there were any ants leftover.

A first attempt at making shortbread cookies and a first attempt at using some Brown Bag stamps and molds. Some came out better than others.

The vintage market I went to last weekend didn't have what I was looking for (vintage kitchenware), but I found a classic Waddle the penguin Beanie Baby AND Teenie Beanie Baby from different vendors. So that's all I got: Waddle and Wee Waddle.

European goldfinch. Watercolour on silk mounted on paper. I had to wash out and repaint the scapulars and marginal coverts three times. Hugely relieved it worked out in the end. 🥲 I'll post the full piece when it will be available at auction next week. 🙏

For today’s #BirdArtWeek2026 theme, #BirdSuccess, I painted a couple of sandhill cranes. In the 1930s, they were pretty much wiped out in the Eastern US, but have since recovered. Holbein acryla gouache, 4x4" wood panel #art #sciart 🪶

apparently it is #penguinawarenessday!!! I thought I'd join with this piece from last year's #birbfest. It's a magellanic penguin enjoying the sunset 🌞🐧✨ #sciart #birdart #animalart

Don't forgot your fossil friends on Penguin Awareness Day. Here's the skull of Eudyptes warhami, an extinct crested penguin from the Chatham Islands. Its such an interesting species that it's features on a NZ coin! Read more here: fossilpenguins.wordpress.com/2019/02/05/a...

It’s Penguin Awareness Day! Check out these older works of mine. They are both African Penguins, which I declared my favorite animal as a 9-year old visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Digital drawing from 2017, acrylic gouache painting from 2018. Time flies but penguins do not. #art #sciart 🪶

A little while ago, I started replacing "degrees Fahrenheit" with "Danny Gabes" because his full name was Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, and I fear I can't stop

Second bird for #BirdArtWeek2026 / #HiddenBirds is a hidden American Bittern 👀 I've always wanted to see one in the wild but haven't had any luck yet. They hide too well. More info about this painting on my website blog. Holbein acryla gouache on a 4x4 in. wood coaster. #art #painting #sciart 🪶

First bird for #BirdArtWeek2026 / #BirdsWithWhimsy is a tūī in a pōhutukawa! I loved them so much when I was in NZ a couple of months ago! More info about this painting on my blog. Painted with Holbein acryla gouache on a 4x4 in. wood coaster. #art #painting #sciart 🪶

I invited @maddryuu.bsky.social and @pjayscribbles.bsky.social to play a guessing game with my OCs! Do you think you could beat them? youtu.be/PKhaA0ix_mU?...

🇳🇴 Ylvis, known for their song "The Fox (What Does The Fox Say?)", intended to take part in Melodi Grand Prix 2026 but withdrew because of Israel's continued #Eurovision participation.

My eBay homepage has somehow filled up with cookie jars shaped like lighthouses. There are so many and they're all different. I had no idea this was such a popular motif for cookie jars.

I've been toying with the idea of trying to get into craft fairs, but I'd want to start with something smaller and every guide I've found suggests church events. Like I'm supposed to know what a church is.

Piece for upcoming shark book. Male meg grabs the pectoral of a resistant female amidst a baitball of Alosa (shad). Meanwhile, a flock of Spheniscus megaramphus (extinct large, long-billed banded penguin) and an extinct toucan-billed booby, Ramphastosula, go fishing. Pisco Formation, Miocene Peru

Can’t believe he said this, seems somewhat disrespectful

Mammals are like the easiest things to draw. Most of them are just sacks of meat with fur obscuring a lot of it. Nearly everything else is so lines.

That new Robin Hood movie with Hugh Jackman going for a dark and gritty tone makes me realize that the best take on the character of the past 15 years is still Doctor Who

I'm not sure how to word this but, there is a heck of a lot of communicable virus floating around in the air in indoor spaces in the US right now. Vaccines are awesome but I rarely see an important key to actually preventing transmission/infection mentioned: N95 masks are very good. please consider

2026 marks 30 years of Munasawagi wo Tanomuyo (2/2), Hadaka no Osama (5/5), Aoi Inazuma (7/15), SHAKE (11/18), and SMAPxSMAP (4/15). 1996 was a wildly powerful year for SMAP. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAZf...

Happy New Year! I’m starting 2026 off with foxes haha. Ink sketches of an island fox, refs from @animalphotorefs.bsky.social. And the weather was finally mild enough for sculpting so I made a snow fox :) #art #sketch #sciart #addmam 🦊

Horsey new year #art

Sometimes Reddit is super helpful, and other times everyone decides that you're an idiot except for the one person who actually read your question and is getting downvoted for it.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.
