A black ballpoint sketch of a hybrid creature perched on top of a wooden stand/post. It is made up of the head of a Yellow-throated toucan, the body of a Ring-tailed lemur, and the tail of a veiled chameleon. It is viewed from the side, and is facing to the left of the image

Starting page of a black and white comic series. A crow stands on a beach with the text β€œsea of glass” in the background.

a bit of a departure from my usual style, but I thought I’d share the first few pages of a comic I’m working on. I was inspired by a crow I saw at the beach this past week.

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

He’s actually a very pretty bird, but when he gets right up in your face, he’s kind of goofy-looking. #budgie #parakeet #birds 🐦 🐦 🐦

if you tell an artist "i want a print of that!" and then you actually DO buy the print when they put it up for sale, you WILL enter the kingdom of heaven. this is, in fact, the only way to get in

A digital drawing of an American Goldfinch with female plumage. There's a kaleidoscope-like radial design behind the bird that reflects the bird's colors. Around the edge is a border with diamond-like designs in the corners.

A photo of a pied ash-red check feral pigeon outside on a railing in front of a window, with lots of white feathers on the neck and head. There is another pigeon hidden behind

Today's Moo (because he's a brown Coo, you see)

Moo has been around for years, but visits rarely, and I usually only see him via birdcam-not sure when the last time I was able to photograph him was, but it might be months rather than years

He had leg rings at first but they disappeared

In one four-day period in March 2025, engineers logged 205 maintenance calls. Sailors reported working up to 19-hour days to fix leaks and restore suction, with problems in a single head capable of disabling an entire section of the ship. Since 2023, the Navy has carried out at least 10 acid flushes, each costing about $400,000, though the procedure cannot be performed while the carrier is underway.

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize

My embroidery of a Yellow Crested Cockatoo. From 2024

I used two strands for this one, and kind of wish I had used single strands.

His beak is like that because of an injury he got some years back-it's amazing it grew back, the amount he was missing. I don't know why his nostrils are so big but they've also been like that for years and he's been to the avian vet a bunch of times and they never said anything, so 🀷

Digital art of a tall on guard canine with their head low and eyes focus intently off canvas. The canine is colored a neutral blue with light orange and yellow details, there is harsh light teal light hitting them from the side-ish. The background is solid darker neutral blue with 2 big blotches of yellow and orange behind the canine.

A photo of a shield bug on a leafy branch, with text over the top. The header, in yellow, says BUGSKY

Underneath, says "A feed for all terrestial arthropods and insect content-not just true bugs"

Middle, off centre to the right, says "Photos, scientific articles, discussion, and more-all are welcome!"

Lower at the bottom third of the photo, says "Use (hashtag) bugsky, (hashtag) spidersky, or the combo of (beetle emoji and cockroach emoji) to add a post to the Feed"

At the very bottom of the image is the url to the feed
