A drawing of a weird colourful bird with long bendy legs and the text: “I don’t want to lay eggs I want a modest bungalow where I can show off my collection of discarded air fryers I find in dumpsters and name Tanya. I have 18 Tanya’s so far.”

A drawing for you today

And that belief is really just denial based in fear, reinforced though incredibly silly behaviours like this

A poster titled “know your pasta shapes” with fun loose illustrations of 16 types of pasta. The names are, well, wrong. The bow tie is Mr fancy boy. Rotini - wiggle winders. Large shells - madame’s secret. Small shells - mademoiselle’s smaller, daintier secret. Then we have long twirler, girthier long twirler, and then orzo as “you’re telling me that’s not rice?”. Next is yum yum wheels, potato fluff puffs. Then the tubes: tiny tubes, big honkin tube, twisty tube (macaroni, you get it) and gaping tube. Cavatelli - water slide, and finally ravioli is secret mystery fun surprise

If you ever forget your pasta shapes, I made you a helpful chart

It’s very much about a sense of power and control in the world that quietly paying taxes wouldn’t bring

Being able to ghoulishly affect policy so they won’t be punished for myriad harmful behaviours is key

Awww that is all so sweet

I had a budgie who fell in love with his own reflection instead of a lovely female budgie I rescued, but I think that was more just narcissism

A print of digital bird illustrations. They’re fairly realistic, though a little loosely stylized. Big text running down the middle in rainbow letters says “LGBTQ” and it turns out to be an acrostic standing for “gosh I love gay birds those total Q.T. Pies”. For a full list of the birds illustrated, follow the link.

Fell down a rabbit hole learning about gay birds. And let me tell you, the birds, they are so gay. Gayer than I ever imagined. Far beyond a few lesbian seagulls and gay penguin dads. So I made a bird-filled pride print!

Penguins are definitely some of the best known queer critters thanks to some who have raised chicks together at zoos, so sweet

Reading stories where people realized their chickens were lesbians, and/or developing rooster-like traits, was one of my favourite things! So fun

An illustration of a woman with short hair and bangs, wearing purple glasses and a green turtleneck with an egg pattern on it. The text on the illustration reads: I hope my inner child heals… before my outer adult is dead
