On the one hand, it took me almost two years to get past my mental inertia & actually buy the graphic novels I've been meaning to get
On the other hand, thanks to Xmas/bday gift cards accumulated in that time, I just paid ≈$17 for ≈$150 worth of books so...
There are horseshoe crabs decorated with cherry blossoms. It feels soft and spring-like.
Cherry blossom horseshoe crab 🌸
I had to draw this cause it makes me very weepy 💖

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪

Turns out, when you fundamentally undermine the way your platform has worked for it's nearly 20yrs of existence without any warning, the cockroach mfers who're still using it get a tiny bit peeved (we organically DDOSed the feedback form). Who could've guessed?!
Well damn. Congrats to the Tumblr user base for complaining so loudly & in such numbers that they got the site to roll back the changes they made within about a day.
Happy Evacuation Day, the anniversary of the end of the Siege of Boston during the Revolution. This - & ONLY THIS - is why parts of Boston have March 17th off. NO OTHER REASON. Nope. None at all. Why would you think that?

Hey! No! This is about AMERICAN HISTORY!

The Academy actually instituted a rule that members have to have seen all movies in a category to be eligible to vote in that category
Flow, for me, is such a good example of why these awards still have some value; I never would have even heard about it if it hadn't been nominated. Instead, I saw clips that piqued my interest & went out of my way to find a (tiny, local) theater that was showing it & it was amazing!
A six-panel comic called Signs of Spring, Ranked. In panel 1, #10 is Robin, showing an american robing standing on a lawn - not always a useful sign since robins are quietly present in winter in many areas. In panel 2, there's #9: Daffodil - nice, mundane, #8: Skunk Cabbage - unusual, cool, and #7: Dutchman's Breeches, a flower that looks like a pair of underwear with a hole - lol. In panel 3, there's #6: Turkey vulture migrating - gloriously ominous, a humbling reminder of life's transience, and #5: very very small bunny - wow, the little ears. In panel 4 there's #4: Snake sunbathing, with a gartersnake warming itself - underappreciated, looks cozy, and #3: Woodcock going peent - the perfect sound. In panel 5 there's a wood frog calling from a pond, and #2: small frogs yelling as loud as they can, with a wood frog floating in a pool inflating itself to make a loud quack - they crave love, or at least they crave the external fertilization of 1500 gelatinous eggs. In panel 6, there's a drawing of a spring peeper and #1, Even smaller frogs yelling, with a spring peeper sitting on the ground making loud calls - yes, YES.
Signs of spring, ranked. An older comic. Feel free to argue with my ranking.
I see we've (rightly) embraced the @weratedogs.com minimum rating philosophy. They're good dogs Brent
All to different studios, btw.
It's almost as if there's a lot of good work being done out there & you can't just assume Disney did the best job just because they're Disney! Amazing!
Love how Oscar voters admitted to just giving Disney the win by default without having seen the movies up for Best Animated Feature, then the Academy added a rule that you have to've actually watched all the movies in a category to vote in said category & since then Disney's lost out 4 years running
Illustration of a sunfish (also known as a Mola Mola) floating above an aerial view of some farm lands. A plane flies next to the fish, really putting into perspective of just how large the sunfish really is.
I think that if sunfish could, the would be sunbathing in the sky ☁️

Like, I get people on social media are excited about medals when they happen but I also want to be able to watch my DVR recording of the event without already knowing the results, yanno?
Signs we are all too hyper connected: I have routinely had Olympics results spoiled for me.
I don't even have to open anything; it's getting pushed to me as "Breaking News" from my *email app*
There were two churches next to my college's campus which did Ash Wednesday (one Catholic & one Episcopalian iirc). You could tell which students went to which church because one (I don't remember which) actually did proper crosses & the other just smudged
