This is so beautiful!!

When the Earth Was Green: Plants, Animals, and Evolution's Greatest Romance Plants, Animals, and Evolution's Greatest Romance

If you’ve been wanting a paperback copy of When the Earth Was Green to throw in your pack, take on a hike, get some sand or leaves between, it’s coming out May 5th! 🌱

me (being stolen): hey, what do you take me for?

SUCH GOOD FRIENDS

Anybody else noticing things going a little nutso around the big seasonal tent poles of the year (equinoxes/solstices)? Starting to think they have a similar effect to full moons but just more drawn-out.

yo i am STOKED

I love how tactile this is!

Inordinately pleased with this sketch tbh; it's been ages since I've been back to this well and I'm stoked about it. Think I like it enough to clean it up and make it into something to put on my wall. Nature is healing

A black and white sketch of a bearded man with a mane of long hair standing with his face upraised and eyes closed, hands in front of him in prayer. He is dressed in elaborate royal clothes and stands against a backdrop of a sunburst/halo.

The Son of the Sun, The Lion, the unholy bastard of a Holy Crown Prince himself

From an older story I haven't touched in some years but that still lives rent-free in my head

BOY HOWDY

I don't think this is an uncommon anxiety among trans guys, but you and I do share a couple brain cells, so who knows

HELLO, MY CHILDREN, IT IS I, SARGON.

I HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF THIS MORTAL VESSEL TO ONCE AGAIN EXPERIENCE WHAT IT IS LIKE TO FEEL.

ANYWAY, YOU GUYS DOING ANYTHING TONIGHT? IF YOU ARE NOT BUSY, I CAN MAKE A PIZZA FAR BEYOND YOUR OWN PRIMITIVE RECKONING.

PEPPERONI THE SIZE OF WALNUTS, MY CHILDREN.

The pinkie toe is essential for balance. I say we get rid of the third toe, which I can barely sense on its own and seems to mostly be a package deal with the fourth

Yeah it would be better rhythm (largely) if the Disappointing Thing came first.

Transgender Sesame. It's like open sesame but better. Hell yeah.

Child-Free Ranch, on the other hand, does have a certain ring to it

Joypilled. Lovemaxxing

I want to grab your face in my hands and point at everything at nothing at you at me and etch into your mind what I just remembered: WE ARE A MIRACLE THERE IS NO POINT IN FEAR ONLY IN LOVING EVERY SINGLE SECOND WE CAN my god my god the world is horror the world is aching beauty the world is all of it and so are we

Oh it seems I forgot what a miracle it is to be alive and have been attaching myself to outcomes instead of appreciating the luminous wonder of the present

And you??

SENT

I don't even know what to WRITE in my strongly worded opposition. "This sucks and you suck too" doesn't seem like it'll be very persuasive even though it's the truth

In other news, water is wet

oh my god I'm so glad I'm not the only one with these brainworms. Although mine is getting longer not shorter 💀

wait WHAT

Yeah I did find the sort of shallow "you're so pretty why can't you see that" thing annoying.

White trans woman with blue hair, smirking. She's wearing a blue collar and a mesh leopard print top.

The same woman climbing a rock wall.

The same woman in a cleavage-bearing top.

The same woman a few years ago, in a black dress with a high slit, at the 2022 Hugo Awards.

Anyway happy Trans Day of Visibility. We deserve to exist, to create and live, and also to have quiet, peaceful, uneventful lives. We have value regardless of what we accomplish or make, of how we look, of whether we fit in or not.

We're good enough as we are.

we always hear about the straights of hormuz and never the gays?

Here's one way to speak to Bluesky developers who are pretty determined not to listen

AH! Thank you! This makes sense!

I'm very curious what the problems associated with quill + ink writing are. I suppose ink trailing at the end of a letter would be one, but are there others?

So valid ;;;;
