How does it feel to be living my dream!!!!

A black and white illustration of some eagles and hawks. Some of em look normal and some look kinda funky

Some miscellaneous hawks and eagles I drew from some reference a while back

The current administration taking an axe to environmental jobs and protections effectively seals her fate, and that of so many other species. Fuck Trump. Avenge nature.

Watching this beautiful little being freefall towards extinction during my lifetime has fundamentally altered me.

Went to our local #SeedySaturday event yesterday and it was busier than I've ever seen it. In the face of our own grocery monopolies and the American government being out of its goddamn gourd, it seems more people are taking food security into their own hands.

Here’s the thing. Every one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before Nov. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it, thinking he’d only hurt the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty—It spreads. You don’t get to control it. Sooner or later, it comes for you too.

I know it's small in the whole scheme of things, but the bloodbath at NPS in Hawaii is almost certainly going to lead directly to the extinctions of no fewer than 4 native Hawaiian songbirds in the next 4-5 years.

Listening to @iwriteok.bsky.social wheeze-laughing at fruitarian space alien health advice lifted me out of my tar pit of existential dread / seasonal depression for a good couple hours today

Reminds me of the end of Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia. Which, if you haven’t read it, is about his time fighting the fascists in Spain.

If there's one way to get me to stop crying it's to talk about birds.

I was weepy with work and wedding stress and my man brought up Philippine endemics and I literally was like

I can't believe I missed this! Will you be restocking them?

Canadian design slaps. Look at this little ptarmigan tea set at the RBCM; it's perfect

As a semi-competent white man, I am not demoralized by women and minorities being in charge of anything.

The only people who are demoralized by a diversity of perspectives and viewpoints are incompetent white men like this moron and the people propping him up.

I think Canada should bring back Jean Chrétien as Prime Minister if only for like two weeks because he would absolutely use the power and opportunity to choke Donald Trump to death with his bare hands.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge).

You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

My mom keeps sending me articles about how tattoo ink is maybe going to kill me like I'm not already full of microplastics and medication that never did clinical trials on women lol

We failed to stop the rise of fascism. What comes next? How to navigate the future without a map.

We failed to stop fascism's rise. Now it's dancing about on the White House lawn. I don't know how to fix all this but I do know that the shit we've been doing won't get us out of this one.

Finally found Texas Balloonwort let's fucking go

Don't have to belly crawl around in the park until I learn about the next miniscule endangered plant 🤙🏽

A photo I posted of graffiti in Syria in 2014.
"One day the war will be over and I will return to my poem"
I hope they will return to their poem

We found an octopus the other night!

Boomer moms will look at the #LAfires and still ask why you're not giving them grandchildren 🫠

A handsome guy posing very nicely for his portrait

My great grandfather fought in the trenches so his descendants wouldn't have to belly crawl through freezing mud and yet here I am, face down in it, looking for Texas Balloonwort
