Is portfolio day a set day or does someone just wake up and decide that it's time to post portfolios again?

"I wonder why Miike Takashi has never worked with Kusanagi Tsuyoshi when he's had Kimura, Goro, and Shingo in his movies" - me moments before looking at his recent filmography and seeing that they mostly star Starto boys

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

please stop saying shit like "real christians don't do this." Real Christians do. They're sitting there right now doing it. They joined that kind of Christianity with the explicit intention of doing exactly what they're doing right now.

Tiktok is introducing me to new cognitohazards like the phrase "starter foreign movie"

Shorebirds (charadriiforms) are ubiquitous near water today, but fossils from early in their evolution are very rare. One of the oldest known possible proto-shorebirds is 54-million-year-old Scandiavis from Denmark, a small bird with long nostril openings. #WorldShorebirdDay 🪶🧪 (📷Bertelli et al.)

Part of me wants to give craft fairs a try but all of me doesn't want to make a full booth's worth of stuff and buy display racks and figure out the taxes and get a new phone that can handle a whole day of charging credit cards when I don't even know if anything will sell

I think I don’t have a choice by say this is my all time favorite Kingfisher photo I’ve had the chance of clicking The Queen of Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve fishing the moon 📷🌿🪶🌔

The online seed shops are having Labor Day sales. I want to grow every plant.

"Any pronouns" is great conceptually, but then people see that I have interests that aren't sports and start leaning into she/her and calling me "girl" too much, so I might have to redact pronoun privileges.

Earlier this month, I visited my US grandparents and they asked me "Who did you go see in Japan?" and I was like "Katori Shingo! I went to his concert in 2 cities!" and they were like "No, did you go see your other grandparents?" Oh..

Late to the party, but have you all seen DJ Furby??

Today I watched all 8 available episodes of The Summer Hikaru Died (after hearing about it on TV like 2 years ago and forgetting to read it) and it's doing a good job of filling the gap that NBC Hannibal left behind

Gender is BINARY and BIOLOGICAL and that's why we need to use the STATE to enforce this with VIOLENCE and my KIDS are still refusing to call and my WIFE left me and

boys be like, "i have a type" and the type is bug

"to get anywhere as an artist you need to make instagram reels" "you need to draw memes" "you need to go to conventions" wrong wrong wrong you just need to be insane

A lot of those art teachers who were against "anime style" were probably racist, but after going to a craft fair in the SF Bay Area where 1 in 4 booths were pastel-colored "kawaii" animals and food (complete with katakana!) on merch printed by a manufacturer, I do feel there's some nuance to be had

Every time I hear about "female gaze" and how there hasn't been enough media made with a (straight) woman viewer in mind to assess it, I think about my favorite Japanese TV show that ran for 20 years where a boy band would cook gourmet meals and act in comedy sketches

With my whale shark (and Jeff, @soothebelle.bsky.social), #SharkWeekSketchJam is done! Here is everyone! Which one is your fav? Mine is the Port Jackson Shark bc they seem the most huggable. All pentel pocket brush pen and fountain pen ink. #art #sketch #sciart @sharkweeksketchjam.bsky.social

For an assignment to show a “special view” of a natural process and in this case, I wanted to show an implied lifecycle of Leucochloridium variae as it cycles between two hosts: a black-and-white warbler and amber oval snails #gouache #Sciart

Greenland Shark for #SharkWeekSketchJam! I read about their eyes and got kinda queasy… Regardless, an epic species because they live to be several hundred years old. Ancient and wise. Pentel pocket brush pens in a Talens Art Creation sketchbook. @sharkweeksketchjam.bsky.social #art #sketch #sciart

One of the (lesser of many) problems with airports switching to face detection and automatic passport scans is that I have to remember which passport I used for what. I slap my passport on the scanner and hold my breath while my mask is off only to get an error and have to do it all over again.

The reptile show didn't have the roaches that I wanted, but I managed to get a not-so-giant giant Asian mantis, some panda isopods, and some plants.

Big lad for today’s #SharkWeekSketchJam: Bronze Whaler, otherwise known as Copper Shark. I used an orange colored pencil to suggest that coppery color. Pentel pocket brush pens in a Talens Art creation sketchbook. #art #sketch #sharkweek #sciart @sharkweeksketchjam.bsky.social

Shark Week Sketch Jam Day 6: Port Jackson Shark @sharkweeksketchjam.bsky.social #sharkweeksketchjam

I'm BACK from my 2 weeks of gallivanting around Japan looking for birds and 8cm CDs and going to Katori Shingo concerts (which were extremely good). Did I miss anything cool or interesting or at least funny?
