What is there to live for?

Cloudy on a full moon night. Love it. ;.;

Walking home and I was stopped by this local. No fear from the local magpies.

Watch: Rare moment sperm whales help newborn to swim Scientists have captured one of the most detailed observations of a sperm whale birth ever recorded in the wild.

Why can’t THIS be the lead story in the news tonight?
Humanity has this incredible planet & most don’t even care.
We’d rather compete with each other & murder each other.

Four carrots that look like pairs of legs, posed in front of a selection of my cookbook collection

I needed to buy carrots this week, and my local supermarket had a bag of “ugly” ones. Anyway, please enjoy this selection of sexy leggy carrots.

a tumblr post with a user named bvckbiter writing "is this character good or bad" "is this shop unproblematic or not" "is this arc deserving of redemption or not" girl... underneath it is a screenshot from the show shōgun of a character saying "i don't have time for this christian nonsense"

How I feel reading 99% of art and media critique these days

A “Grandiloquent Word of the Day” meme featuring the word “Metacognition,” with phonetic pronunciation and definitions describing thinking about one’s own thinking and learning processes. An engraved illustration on the right shows a thoughtful 19th-century gentleman in profile, resting his chin on his hand; the top of his head is opened like a cutaway diagram, revealing a smaller figure inside his brain posed in the same contemplative manner.

Metacognition [MET-uh-kog-NISH-un]
(n.)
- The process of thinking about how we think and make decisions.
- Awareness or analysis of one's own learning or thinking processes.

I have a flight in May and I hope this is all over soon...

WHAT DO OUR SCHEMERS HAVE IN STORE? 🔨 🧔‍♀️ 🎭

As Taliesin Jaffe, Marisha Ray, Luis Carazo, and Liam O'Brien take the stage once more, who can say what intrigue lies in store as their saga begins..

Weird week. Weird few months. Trying not to think of anything else but BTS in May and August.

For once, I want to feel like anything I feel is validated and not mocked.

Sometimes I don't feel like I'm a real person.

Submitted a poem (not even a long one; it's a haiku) to a poem contest for the first time in 12 years. But there are so many "declined" statuses from past entries that I don't feel hopeful. 🫠

Too many uncultured people making travel food vlogs these days.

Please don’t feel guilty for enjoying stuff despite everything that’s going on involving the government and ICE.

We see countless posts and videos of innocent people being detained and killed. It’s mentally detrimental to be doomscrolling through all of this, you’re allowed to step away from it.

Officially got the finished copies of my artbook! So thrilled with how they turned out.

As a reminder - they'll be at ECCC with me, but I'll be putting the overstock up on an online store after the convention (mid-March). I'll give more specifics when that gets closer!

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN.

No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated.

Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here?

No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

I should've expected this youtube iceberg compilation to mention the show that caused Godfrey Gao's (favorite celebrity) death, but now I feel... pensive? Somber? Idk if that's too much to feel as just a fan, esp since this happened in 2019.

He's a dead end. I shouldn't worry about him. I should give him no room in my mind or heart.
