My mom: what happened to the roof of your car?
Me: oh, I stood on it so I could see into a field where there was a Swainson's hawk
Mom: (visibly proud)

a medieval illustration of an anatomically accurate woodcock perched in the floral margins of a manuscript

the "medieval people didn't know how to draw animals" crowd has been real quiet ever since john siferwas dropped the Perfect Woodcock

I'm at the airport and going through security the tsa agent pulled me aside and went "im gonna pat your chest down" and the agent next to her said "why, there's nothing there tho"

A close up photo showing all the fingernails and thumb nail facing the camera. There’s a gradient of colour across all the nails such that the pinkie and thumb and both fully blue, the middle is fully green, and the index and ring finders are ombré. The rainbow sheen of the magnetic topper shows best on the pinkie here since it’s a little out of focus. Each nail has either stripes or dots in dark orange, in addition to the black gill lines and black and white eyes.

A different angle close up on just 4 finger nails - this one shows the rainbow sheen a little better.

And for #ArtAdventCalendar day 2, some fishing lures 😅 Variations on this design have trended on social media for a while. I used creme polishes for the bases, some with gradients, and topped them all with a sheer holographic magnetic polish. Then I added details using more creme polishes.

yesterday a first grader at one of my schools couldn't figure out whether i was a boy or a girl, which was a real ego boost and made up for that morning when the receptionist at the endocrinologist's office asked my gender and when i said "neither" said "you have to be male or female"

as usual, "switch from spotify to something less evil" was a mental struggle because I Hate Change, but as soon as i actually started doing it it was very easy!

Apparently "convinced your nipples are falling off" is a normal stage in the healing process!

Me: I don't really experience gender dysphoria or gender euphoria
Also me: omg that parent called me a "they" to their kid and I'm sooooooo happy

We're fostering kittens for the municipal animal shelter where I volunteer. They are Problems.

Yep

A paper bag I'm putting into my office freezer. It says "DEAD BIRD DO NOT EAT" on it because after work I am delivering said dead bird to a national wildlife refuge program

Sometimes you get the chance to do something so powerful

Me, looking disdainfully at the honeybees in my monarda: ugh, *europeans*
