Bruce is the best! Please take a gander ;-)

This book by @kjcharleswriter.com is utterly, sweetly, impressively delightful! A 1920s MM romance between a detective fighting corruption and a hot graphologist (handwriting analyst), who is also a post-war amputee. They’re so cute!! 📚💙 📚❤️ 📚🏳️‍🌈 📚♿️

There’s no magic pill. The only way forward is bit by bit, this plus that, tiny steps forward, even after stumbling backwards. I’m not interested in doom and gloom, woe is me, it’s too late. Go in your corner and cry while the rest of us try and do what we can how we can when we can. We can.

Good morning from a female striped lynx spider, Oxyopes salticus, on her egg sac🌞

If a 5'2" king decreed no one is legitimately taller than 5'6" and anyone found engaging in 5'7" or taller behavior was an adherent of a dangerous ideology and an enemy of the state it would not change the nature of what he was about to do to tall people simply because he phrased it in a clever way.

We went to the Anchorage museum and oh my goodness, if you’re ever in the area you must go. It has so many beautiful exhibits with detailed explanations directly from the voices of different indigenous groups in Alaska, including both historical and contemporary art. We spent all day there!

Better photo. Only the most important illustration of my life so far.

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

I am so jealous of this oblivious pile of fluff.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

i am once again asking if you know that if you routinely sing to a cat while they're curled up on your chest they will learn that singing means cuddle time and come trotting over from wherever they are when you do. it's important that we get this message out to those who need it most

Here are a couple for @crawlieswithcri.bsky.social. I’ve been trying to pay attention to some of the bug life, but we’re traveling at a pace that isn’t conducive to the small things in this world. These two pollinators were working hard on the shores of Lake Issyk-Kul in Kyrgyzstan.

A western screech owl started hanging out in my parents carport so my dad made them a box! They moved in immediately and provide my parents with hours of entertainment when they’re around. I’m pretty jealous, not gonna lie.

I hear we're cute posting. Polar bear cubs - doesn't get much cuter :) #mammals 🌿

some of you may think that going through shelves and shelves of books to make sure they’re all in exactly the right order and all of the spine labels are correct is boring, BUT this actually my dream task and exactly why I wanted to work in the library

I guess this has probably already gone viral somewhere but I am simply dying at this picture of a bear that looks like it hired a photographer to do a glamour shoot

You're making ME blush!

There are thousands of sea lions on San Carlos beach in Monterey right now. More drama than a channel of telenovelas. And so much yelling and stink! I loved it.

went to the bookstore today and traded in books for store credit, which i then used to get more books. so basically the ones i got were free. book math!! #BookSky #BookHaul

Ghosts are friends with fairies, don’t you think? This is a digital study of an idea I want to draw with pen and ink! I’ve started working on a book illustration project about fairies and their lore, so I’ve been looking at a LOT of fairy art. Fairies on the brain now.

More than 300k Black women being pushed out of the labor market while white men gained 365k more jobs is what we mean when we refer to racism as systemic.

Oh HELL yes

I still really love this piece I did of my Sylvari and their Skyscale back in the day.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
