When older people say dismissive shit like "Oh well, you're young," my brain now automatically grumbles "How old exactly do you think that I am? 'Cus I guarantee I'm at least ten years senior of your best guess." Autism, aka: the cloak of youth. (I don't think I even look that young anymore...)

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck. Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special. "She probably doesn't mean me" I do.

Day 11 for #ArtAdventCalendar Toothy little opossum I made for the Toronto Game Expo, it has been a while since I made one with their wonderful, nasty lil snaggle teeth. Polymer Clay #Opossum #Animals #Miniatures #PolymerClay

While I agree with P.A.'s sentiments here, Walt Disney was notoriously awful to other animators. He lied to them about profit-sharing for Snow White, fired the creator of Goofy for trying to start a union, and tried to convince Congress the upset animators were "Commies."

My dad had his second cataract surgery today & I'm sooo happy; now his eyes'll match! 🥹❤️

Share your knowledge if/when you can. Teaching other people how to do what you do doesn’t lessen your art - it just means more and better art for everyone. I appreciate when people are willing to tell me about their brushes, how they study, etc… I want to put that back out into the world.

A few “last one” items currently in my shop. In 2026, I plan to move away somewhat from the preorder model and instead do small batches of special edition figures. Grab what you can when you see it. It may be something I don’t make again for a while! 🛒 VerdantSculpts.com

Did I ever share this? Probably. Two weeks ago, I started working on a Sonic 1 styled Spyro sprite sheet. This one is inspired by Spyro’s design from his first game. I was going to wait until all the sprites were finished to reveal this but due to circumstances, I might not be able to—

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Last week I added this birch bark round to Churro's enclosure & this evening I caught him snoozing in it. 🥹❤️❤️❤️🐍 (I collected the bark from crown land; it was naturally shed from a fallen birch stick which had already mostly decomposed, leaving just the round of bark behind, perfect for Churro.)

This is so wonderful. 🥹 www.forbes.com/sites/meliss...

Meet Darga, a resin print of a sculpture by Animal Den Miniatures of a Przewalski's Horse/takhi stallion in a herding pose. I painted him using chalk pastels, Copic sketch markers & watercolour pencils with Krylon matte varnish as a fixatif. This was my 1st time creating a diorama base!😊❤️

A little known thing about #lizards that I've not seen written about in detail concerns NOSTRIL VALVES. These are deployed when lizards submerge their heads, either in swimming or drinking. Here's Flame with valve not deployed, and deployed. Cont...

One reason that the US (and the UK presumably, I don’t even go there) doesn’t teach children universal critical thinking and critical information literacy skills is that the idea that children should be able to evaluate or dissent from the lies of adults in society is politically contested.

I have ONE more hiking sign left!!! It was hiding.

Tonight I happened on the trailer for Jack Black's new Anaconda movie & on behalf of snakes everywhere I'm horrified that this new film - which will undoubtedly lead to more people hating & fearing & genocidally killing snakes* without cause - exists. ☹️ *Rattlesnake killing contests are a thing.

It's with heavy hearts that we share that Claude, our beloved albino alligator, has passed away at the age of 30. Claude brought joy to millions of people at the Academy and across the world during his 17 year tenure. We will miss him dearly. 🤍

Hi, I'm Joe a 4th year PhD student @utas.edu.au who is currently looking for a post-doc! My research has focused on reconstructing paleo-productivity and iron fertilisation in the Indian sector across the last 100 ka. Here’s what I've been up to across the last 4 years:

Just in case you missed it... 'Snow Bear' by Aaron Blaise! ☃️❄️ youtu.be/xOXolSQcEb4?...

Introduce yourself with 5 cars you've owned: (the latter three belong to my parents because I've only owned 2 cars. 😅) 🚙 'Bluebell' - 2007 Toyota Yaris (RIP 2018) 🚙 'Panzer' - 2006 Suburu Outback Legacy (my current car!) 🚗 'Ghost' - 2007 Toyota Tacoma 🚗 'Cammy' - ? Toyota Camry 🚗 ? Toyota Sienna

This little baby is with @rocketcatrescue.bsky.social and is in the same serious situation as little Zack was. She needs to see an ER vet immediately, and Rocket Cat could use donations to make sure they can cover every avenue of care for her possible. Please consider helping them try to save her.

Looook!!! Churro is sun tanning properly instead of just cryptic basking! He's out in the open! And we must be developing some kind of positive relationship because when he noticed me all he did was flick his tongue once to verify his eyeballs, which I took to be rosy boa for "'sup." HAPPINESS.❤️❤️❤️🐍

I have an Etsy shop and there are, quite frankly, delightful things for sale therein www.etsy.com/shop/Jessica...

I had some extra print time at Outlet so I’ll have this bonus Opabinia Mermaid 4-color riso for sale at @furfest.org!!

Orange tabby fluff Casper demonstrating how healed his back paw is; today he let me hold & stroke it! 😁 He was slightly confused about why I was so fascinated by his foot, as demonstrated by his perplexed expression, but he gave no sign of being in any pain.❤️❤️❤️🐾

Its my birthday today! More importantly I finally got the new pins I teased up on my shop, my birthday gift to you all!! rjpalmerstore.com/collections/...

Fascinating article on tattoo + vaccine interactions. For SOME vaccines (like covid), immune response was lower when injected into tattoos. For OTHERS, (like flu), the immune response = higher! Different formulations of vaccines interact with tattoo ink differently 🤯 www.pnas.org/doi/epdf/10....

Update on Churro (m'baby rosy boa!): today I upgraded him from a 75 watt to a 100 watt heat bulb. While I got to see him cryptic basking more since changing from a 50 to the 75, I still haven't seen him openly sun tanning. (Of course, he might just hate living in an aquarium.)

SEA WOLVES!!!! This is cool. After Haíɫzaqv Guardians saw damaged crab traps, video cameras were set. Great article: Tool use by wolves (Canis lupus): crab trap pulling in Haíɫzaqv Nation Territory!

No, you can’t get the flu from the flu vaccine. The temporary side effects that you might feel after getting the vaccine are your immune system reacting to the inactive proteins from the surface of the virus.

Hey conference-organizers (sorry for addressing you in one of your professional capacities on a holiday). I posted this 5 days ago, and 65 artists have already applied. Many of them are PSYCHED, and many of them are extremely qualified. There's HUGE interest from artists in working w/scientists.

Hey all, do I have any UK based concept artists following me (or who knows anyone) who would be up for a long term 22 month contract working on Dragonwilds at Jagex? Remote with a very occasional day in office in Cambridge. Development experience and fantasy genre work is a must. Mid level role.
