My poor cat might have some kind of ibd. They say pets take after their owners, but not like this 😭

Made a fake Decker vs. Dracula VHS cover to bring to the @oncinema.bsky.social show this week! Started as a goofy little screenshot paintover and then I got VERY carried away:

A Great Horned Owl snoozing in the sunshine.

The author's barely disguised fetish for powerful men to face consequences for their actions

My zines arrived. Excited to sell them in person soooon

A thread filled with excellent info about spring bird migration in the eastern US, including lots of ways to help the birds! #birds 🌿

At the infusion center trying to be normal while the president threatens genocide cool cool cool

I feel like now is a good time to share this again

Moondrop.

Every day I think about this passage

This is so devastating

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Porco Rosso is really good huh

I finally watched Everything Everywhere All At Once, it was so good

Working on a new sticker!

Shout out to all the creatives making shit: comics, animators, movie directors, hell gourd carvers I don’t care, you do you. Our greatest gift as a species is creativity. Make it. Show it off. Be proud.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

I know exactly how many cats are in my house. I keep it at a consistent value. Moths and spiders, no idea. Mystery number. They come and go through little doors I don't even know about

I got into a local arts and crafts fair and that was a confidence boost I needed!

Still open! Don't forget to show your interest if you have any. Will be closing this at the end of the month.

Some of my favorite games, but it was really hard to pick. There's so many I like just as much as the ones here.

Every time I read something describing an animal as not equipped for good survival ("clumsy" ect) there's always the added detail that they're facing multiple invasive predators, habitat loss, and human activity.

yes yes yes yes!!

I don't know how to deal with the reality that my nephews are in more danger of childhood infectious diseases than I was. I worry about them all of the time.

Sometimes when I'm upset and feeling like I haven't accomplished much at my age, I remember how much time in my young adulthood was spent with under-treated crohnic illness and feel a little better.

We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel! The Owl House: The Long-Lived King Written by me and the amazing @mikkicrisostomo.bsky.social Illustrated by the incomparable @dindu99.bsky.social We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Cal Bird Update! Cal Bird Update! I just saw a Red-Breasted Nuthatch on my maple!! I haven't seen any in a couple of years! They migrate here for the winter and I've missed them! This has been your Cal Bird Update.

I doodled some hobbits. I felt Samwise should have freckles because he works out in the sun.

Make Art (1/4)

It's really something how hostile the internet and software services have become to people. Just incredible stuff.

The oldest known image of an owl: More than 30,000 years ago, someone skillfully scratched the figure of a long-eared owl (Asio otus) into the soft outer layer of the walls of Chauvet Cave, France. The owl is looking backward over their wings, head turned 180 degrees carnegiemnh.org/ancient-owl-...

i've seen so many people diss this golbat sprite from g1, let him be silly !!! #pazootsyart / #pokemon

The fact that AI boosters always go to “but art is EXPENSIVE” is telling. Most people started with crayons, lined school paper, cheap pencils, ballpoint pen, the back of junk mail and misprinted pages. Art supplies can be outrageous but you can make art with literal trash

Regarding the Discourse, lemme just say that if you can't draw, yes you can. Everyone can draw, and folks will almost certainly respond more positively to your stick figures than some generic "A.i." slop. Also, there are LOADS of resources for free images. Like this! 🧵 www.nga.gov/artworks/fre...

this little SAD lamp has done it's best but I think winter wins this round tbh
