We don't "need" a woman as president. We don't "need" a male. We don't need a black, brown...pink, or white person as president. We need the most effective leader possible.

I don't care if they're green, shave their ass and walk backwards...or look like Col Sanders. Only real leaders need apply.

These dapper birds might look like they've got it all figured out, but penguins face challenges such as climate change, overfishing, habitat degradation, invasive species, and pollution. So the least we can do on #WorldPenguinDay is appreciate their impeccable fashion sense

They’re stinking adorable! 🐧🥰

On April 16th, 2025, Save the Elephant Day is observed to focus on elephant conservation. The day brings attention to the threats elephants face, including habitat loss, poaching, and human-wildlife conflict.

Earth Day serves as a crucial annual reminder to protect our planet's fragile ecosystems and natural resources for future generations

Happy Earth Day, Richard.♥️

Under a month until CHOMP-O-RAMA is out in the wild!
Written by @mkbirmingham.bsky.social, illustrated by me, published by @owlkids.bsky.social. As a special preview, over the next few weeks, I’m sharing some images from the book along with behind the scenes sketches. #picturebooks #kidsbooks

Appetizing fare for the information-hungry" (Kirkus) THE JELLYFISH BUS: "Beautifully colored, detailed illustrations with just the right comic touch" (SLJ) and "An imaginative exploration of ocean depths" (Kirkus)

Get excited with us! Some of our Spring books are about to hit the shelves soon!

I’m so excited! Mine will be here April 21! My granddaughter is going to love it.💖

A cluster of narcissi from the jonquilla class, some white with orange cups and some yellow with dark yellow cups. All emitting the aroma of heaven, if it existed.

So the world is shit and posting pictures of pretty flowers is insensitive, but we need to remember that there's still beauty and joy. We just want more of it for more people.

Invest in yourself -it's the best return you'll ever get. 💪✨
