The scary thing about waiting for the 2026 bear season to start is not knowing whether last year's surviving spring cubs will return. I'm really rooting for the little 26s and 171s. #katmai

Netflix-havers, Morgan Freeman is narrating a new dinosaur documentary airing in March. Does it look silly? Yes. Will I be watching it? Also yes.

I set up my first trail cam a few weeks ago and got this. I don't think I'll ever top this video. I could just retire it now and be happy.

It bums me out that there isn't more Paleolithic rock art of cave hyenas, especially considering they were all over the place. So I made some myself.

It's annual change the number on my socials day! If you'd like to celebrate my birthday with me, consider joining the TTRPGs for Trans Rights bundle! or maybe tip me ko-fi.com/ilananight if you have spare coins!

Because we're consistently in the red & can't pay people back in a timely manner we've had to completely stop sending new eSims. That's devastating for the people of Gaza living through a genocide committed on our dime. #ConnectingGaza

who called it Heated Rivalry and not Fuck Ice

#seattle renters, our new Mayor Katie Wilson wants to hear from you, one page form linked in the post below

Got some new mailers to try out for my zine shipping! This should hopefully bring the costs down for shipping so I'm not selling these at a loss like I've been doing shipping them in bubble mailers 😅 If you want a zine: payhip.com/akivaleewrites

i think we all need to step back and realize that peak art was made when neolithic pot in the shape of a pig was fired

I'm not soliciting venmo donations today and am instead highlighting a GoFundMe for a family sheltering in place in Minnesota right now with a NEWBORN BABY. They need about $2,000 more dollars. Can people get them there? www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-aid...

It is very hard to think about the trauma today's immigrants are going through and know that it will affect them forever, and their children, and their grandchildren, if they survive. To give you an idea, from a study in 2003. This is violence that transcends generations.

The Plate-billed Mountain Toucan will be your overlord this week, sitting smugly at the equator where the groundhog has no sway. 🪶

it's Friday, we've got 11 days left on the clock, and there's only $30 left to go before the second pin is unlocked! that's two people getting one pin! that's one person getting a pin, a sticker set, and a zine! so many options! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sie...

Finally had Flick show up! And on a night when I found a trash island, so I sold him 14k worth of damselflies. #acnh

I could probably draw weevils all day long...I love any critter with a snoot. #febugary2026

I need to share that when I made that graphic just now in Canva, when I typed the word "gay," the toolbar turned rainbow. I get that they're trying to be cute but I'm like is Canva spying on everything I write in their app???

📌 Hey bsky, I'm Avi (he/him), your friendly local bear-loving TTRPG editor. By day I'm a lead editor at Paizo working on Pathfinder and Starfinder; by night I'm a zinemaker and socialist. Stick around for cute pictures of my cat.

I should probably make a new pinned, my current one is 10 months old and thus predates my zinemaker awakening.

I heard a loud thump and found this:

If you're near Minneapolis on Saturday, please consider coming out to the Twin Cities Zine Fest, where we'll have 80+ zinesters sharing their #zines & free workshops! tczinefest.org/tczf-2026/ #TCZF2026 If you're elsewhere, please send good vibes, we could use some fun.

I love the energy I'm seeing lately around anticapitalism and I strongly encourage everyone to take the next step and learn about socialism. Becoming involved in the struggle for socialism is a vital thing you can do in this moment. And it's a great way to join up with the helpers in your community.

I've been terrible at checking in on this account because I've been in a funk lately and don't really have new art to share at the moment. My shop's still open, though! I've still got plenty of linoprints, stickers, bookmarks, and bookplates ready to ship right away. evergreenphoenixshop.etsy.com

This fundraiser went so well that I’m now raising rent funds for a third family in Minneapolis that has been impacted by ICE! For this family, the total need is $1900. Can we do it? I know we can! Let’s keep it going! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater Thank you all so much! ❤️‍🔥

Below: the face of a cat who thinks we can keep another family housed today. This family needs $1000. We overshot the mark slightly on the last one so we are already at $75. Venmo nkkritzer, and I will send the money to the family once it's raised.

My yard is on a deer highway, so I'm blessed to see these guys often. #Mammals 🌿

It’s called socialism and it doesn’t have billionaires or capitalists at all because they are unnecessary and inhibit societies advancement at this point

[CW: Abuse] Went on a musical rabbit hole and realized Kesha's artist bio on Tidal explicitly calls out Dr. Luke for his abuse, and yet even after everything that's happened, the guy still works in the industry, has won awards, and presumably collects streaming revenue at least for songs he wrote.

today's report: our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.

Nobody will remember my salary or how many hours I worked but they will remember how I was obsessed with vampires and I'm cool with that

Cassie heard a noise in the kitchen and stood like a meerkat for over 2 minutes. She has a great leopard belly.
