Let’s make 2026 the year of the bog. The world’s most unique and interesting plants, clean water, cooler climate. Bogs deserve our thanks, care, and deep respect. Please join me and love a bog today.

Love bogs! (More often called muskegs here in SE Alaska) Sphagnum moss and carnivorous plants are some of my favorite things

We’ve had several storms lately with high winds. So the trails are decorated with epiphytes. So many beautiful pieces of branches covered with lichen, moss, and ferns.

I am in the kitchen Cooking. I am creating tasty treats with fungi. The whole room smells of garlic. Life is beautiful.

The gang is gearing back up for our live voice acted playthrough. I can already hear the thrilled yelling that’s about to happen 🙂‍↕️

No oc is complete without emotionally fitting the tone of the number one song of all time

Non-spoiler post in case dear friends see this, but I am genuinely overjoyed by the heart of this film and reception it’s received so far. I was already a fan of the game, so the expanded world felt so fun, along with its slow trickle of reveals. It trusts the audience! A delightful use of—

New oc thoughts Happening 🙂‍↕️🙏 what if we doomed the world and made each other worse and we were all lesbians

Spring is almost here! #moomin

Here’s some sketches exploring one of my ideas for the creature from “The Terror” by Dan Simmons, and how I imagined it could work as a supernatural element while still able to be mistaken for a polar bear at a glance or in the distance~

THANK YOU MR MARKIPLIER!!!!! GUY WHO IS GOING TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!!! 🙂‍↕️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

New flower of the day (yesterday)! This is some Japanese quince (I think), a large bush of it is coming into bloom by our uni library (my knowledge of shrubs and hedges is small but growing)!

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

A Warning Painted with gouache using my own hands and a paintbrush. It took time. I had to make decisions. I painted over and redid several parts. Its not technically perfect. It was fun. Your generated profile picture makes me vomit #gouache

HEARD IT MIGHT BE PLAYING IN A TOWN NOT TOO FAR FROM ME 👁️👁️

when i was in high school there were 2 pages in every classroom copy of the epic of gilgamesh that were glued shut because in a previous year a boy had found it too erotic and audibly moaned in class and that’s kind of how writing silmarillion erotica feels. i’m moaning during the epic of gilgamesh

Nobody know I have a tupperware of strawberries on me. Right now.

finally got around to finishing my eldritch lesbian oc 💖 #oc #wlw #ocsky #artsky

I Would Like To See The Iron Lung Please :)

IT’S DONE!!!! I had to take a hatchet to my poor report (cut over 300 words) but it’s complete and Okay I Think and also I made a cover page and a pH scale by hand so let’s celebrate forever I guess

WE’RE BACK!!!! All references placed in their order, all notes numbered for in text citations, mini break before putting it all together 🙂‍↕️🙏

One more piece of research and then mini break before WRITING RESUMES!!!! Genuinely might be proud of this (maybe) but I’m sure the epics highs and lows will hit quite shortly

BREAKFAST AND THEN FINAL GRIND DAY!!!! WALES SOIL PAPER LET’S GOOOOO!!!!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌾❤️

Beautiful flying beagle-esque image

My beautiful welsh grassland!!!!!!! I’m actually extremely excited to learn more about you this term!!!!!!!!!!! Conservation forever!!!!!!!!!

Deciding to a take a more Welsh focused perspective for my soil report as I think it’s always interesting and important to learn and engage with your immediate community. There’s more literature about there with stronger English/UK focus, I’d like to shift my gaze inward a bit!

My hot take about the “students cannot read whole novels / watch whole films / etc.” is that they can learn to do it. None of us are born with attention spans suited for long media. It is a learned skill and can be developed with practice.

REMINDER: SHOP'S CLOSED FOR THE WEEKEND We understand the economic activity of our online shop is negligible, but closing and bumping our drop was a no-brainer. Please take a moment to pause and consider what actions you can take to help your neighborhood The site in the QR code may be of help

I’ve been comfymaxxing lately, so happinesspilled* *procrastinating my soil report

Being targeted by the beloved series I was thinking about continuing but was sad that my books were across the sea,,,,perhaps new set instead,,,,,,
