Yesssss woodcocks are amazing!! They’ll starting doing their courtship flight shenanigans soon (usually at dusk); you might be able to see one doing that! www.audubon.org/magazine/do-...
The pacing/humor is sooo incredible (not to mention the expressions and all the dancing)
Psst also, go watch Samuel it’s amazing
I just finished watching Samuel last night and was sad it was over so I feel like this is a gift from the animation heavens to meeeee
Shriiiimps! Finally another aquarium themed piece since I really love aquatic critters. Maybe I can have a shrimp tank again someday in the future… which one is your fav shrimp?
I’m torn between blue velvet and bamboo! But they’re all great ❤️🦐
I’ve never messed with any electronic music stuff; it’s always been very "punk band" for the default, but I love me some dance-y, beep-boop-y stuff.
Hahahah yeah I’ve been wondering about a set-up like that…I’m also going to try to play with other folks (peer pressure, but in a good way)
Haha can confirm! I wish I had more arms so I could also play some synth parts too! If I keep up with practicing, I promised myself I could get a little keyboard, as a treat
It’s very chill, which I’m enjoying. Saw a fun swing/jazz/country band with pedal steel play last weekend…and as they were setting up, I was like "ooooooh shiny thing" haha they also used kazoos a bunch (the music scene here is all over the place, in the best way)
Hahahaha I don’t know if or when I’ll be ready to post my cringe-ass making music…maybe someday 😬
Listening to this now; it’s lovely. Thanks for sharing what you’re listening to!
Songs learned today: Winner Takes It All (ABBA), Game of Pricks (Guided by Voices), I’m a Boy (The Who). I gotta pick songs that I can sing along to…basically doing Billy Bragg-style versions of ABBA songs is very fun.
"Hey TC, what is all this?"
I am MAKING A BIG COMIC BOOK, a chapter at a time, and posting the finished pages as I go! It's about friendship, finding yourself, and figuring out who the real enemy is.

I might also be coming out the other side of years-long burnout. Comics/illustration had always left me creatively depleted, with no extra room for music (or anything really). Moving to the middle of the woods has been good for me.
Perimenopause sure is feeling like Teenager II: The Teenagering (emotionally, at least; physically I am so tired). I wanna be in a band, and get a tattoo. Hmmm maybe it’s perimenopause + mid-life crisis? Either way, I’m not mad about it.
I bought the guitar. No regrets - playing music and writing songs again is awesome and I love it
I have a new comic in the next issue of @paperairplane.pub (vol. 2). Featuring me and Gordie (here’s a little preview for your eyeballs):
Haha I am very disappointed that Garfield does not have a butthole
(thinly veiled metaphor for Mondays)
I realize that some of you might not want to start your morning with seeing a cat drop a fresh turd, and for that I apologize.

61 years ago today, a group of 600 peaceful protestors began a 54-mile march from Selma to the steps of the Alabama state capitol in Montgomery— in response to the police murder of 26-year-old Army veteran Jimmie Lee Jackson during an attempted march in Marion, AL two weeks prior.

Yesss thank you your recs never disappoint!!!
Music has been such a balm throughout my life, and I kinda feel like I’m going through my second teenage wave of just leaning into punk and hardcore…feels like it’s burning off some of the constant background anger?
