bleh

ran out of dark brown wool on my first needle felt project ever so they are hiding their unfinished body

like i know Me at my base but what do i do. relearning my hobbies, my food likes, my habits.. especially in a new shared space. it doesnt seem very impactful but having a little more personal freedom has made me go “hm. what ELSE can i do within my means. i have time and space.”

almost three months at new job in new place and i am trying to relearn myself. its hard to describe and i should probably keep a journal

moving into generative AI is such a disservice to community scientists, conservationists, and to those who just want to know what is growing in their backyard. how insulting to assume this would be a net benefit

This thread is an all timer and if you ever hope to understand ecology you have to understand this first.

everytime i travel, i imagine every city i pass as the land it once was. no ugly concrete, no smog burning your lungs, no thousands of people congested together in misery.

just endless plains, mountains, trees, beautiful clean waters and skies.

but i know one day it'll all return to what it was.

This land is Native land. Being Queer here is NATURAL and has always been, since the immemorial. The current infection, brought by the occupier and settler, is the blight. TRUE Pride? DECOLONIZING. THAT is the cure to the poison. RETURN. Return. Return.

i havent drawn as regularly in a min so unfortunately my inconsistencies will shine thru. thats probably ok i guess

embrace middle school fursonas

automatic weights you have betrayed me too many times already

i almost wanted to keep fingers and toesies for them but i think the nubby paws match that middle school insp a little better. the base expression isnt quite what i wanted either since the mouth is more of a U but its okay. we have yet to get to fun ezpressions

the beast
