A reminder that honeybees are not native to North America, they are livestock. This is not 'saving the bees' because honeybees don't need saving and they out-compete native wild bees, many of which are better pollinators and huge numbers are actually engangered and do need saving.
The people don't want war or tariffs or secret police or a gutted government or cutting aid or rising prices or isolationism or institutionalized hate

The March Madness
The mating period of European hares starts end of January, beginning of February and ends end of July, beginning of August. The height of the breeding season, is known as "March madness", when the normally nocturnal bucks are forced to be active in the daytime.
🚨 It's finally out! 🚨
A new bizarre harvestman from Eocene Baltic amber, named Balticolasma wunderlichi!
This wonderful little guy was quite the challenge to work on as I don't do inverts that often...
A black and grey tattoo design on a white background featuring a somber looking elf with a feather-like shape behind her. There is an Art Nouveau-esque border along her collar, which frames the bottom half of the piece.
A black and grey concept on a white background, of an art nouveau inspired border with a negative space star and leaves inside. The bulk of the design is black, and meant to be a cover up/blast over concept that will have skin breaks so that the work underneath can peek through.
A halloween tattoo flash sheet, black and grey with a hit of red on a white background. There is an owl on a branch, a frog with a broken leg (and a small spurt of red blood) and a floating hare, all with empty eyes and expressions.
I'm hitting the (Canadian) east coast in May! I have space for 1-2 more large bookings at the St John's Tattoo Convention on May 16th-- and I have space in Halifax on the 20th-22nd!

an illustration of two vaguely black swallowtail-ish butterflies, holding onto a white flower. They each have a gradient pink to purple marking on their lower wings, in the shape of a cartoonish top surgery incision scar.
I’m getting top surgery in April, if you want to grab a preorder sticker to help make sure I have money set aside for rent and the lipo recommended by my surgeon, I would much appreciate it! This one is some butterflies, with top surgery markings

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Omg I didn't know sitting on your feet like that is so bad...as another hypermobile person with lower leg problems, thanks for the heads up lmao
got another "i wish i could draw" comment this week and i am yelling the same thing i am always yelling: drawing is a technical skill. it's teachable and learnable and it is never "too late" to start picking it up
A grizzled woodchuk (groundhog) sits in the crotch of a small oak tree on a sunny day with its dark brown tail curled behind the branch.
Your annual reminder that groundhogs are squirrels, and pretty darned good at climbing trees. #mammals 🌿 #GroundhogDay
Amazing coda here.
I've been addicted to sudoku for quite a while now, Killer Sudoku has a modified version where it's regular sudoku but also has equations to solve. I think in sudoku somehow when I'm just going to sleep a lot of the time now lmao. It helps when I'm overstimulated so much.
Illuminated text that reads "pls remember to take your meds," in letters made of stone completely covered in moss, lichen, and ferns. There's also a moth and a couple of bees flying around the letters, and a big licheny heart under them. The piece is drawn in ink. After I drew it I made a laminated copy and put it on my fridge, because holy shitting crapweasels I need this reminder all the dam time.
It's Friday. The world may be a shit-show full of picklefuckers, but please remember to take your meds. Even it's only cos fascists hate the fact than chronically ill & disabled people get to exist.
Spite fascists: look after your spoonie self, even one tiny bit. 😘
Barely a few hours after President Donald Trump named him as the next nominee to chair the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh was revealed to be in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case files.
Concentration camps by any other name are still camps.
"Er...how far is this going to go, Sarge?" "All the way, Billy." "But we took the oath, Sarge, and now we're disobeying orders and helping rebels. Doesn't seem right, Sarge," said Wiglet wretchedly. "You took an oath to uphold the law and defend the citizens without fear or favor," said Vimes. "And to protect the innocent. That's all they put in. Maybe they thought those were the important things. Nothing in there about orders, even from me. You're an officer of the law, not a soldier of the government." "Night Watch," Sir Terry Pratchett (2002)
We are here, and this is now.

“ICE agents’ tactics often seem to be modeled off what they’ve seen in movies or imbibed via TV shows or video games...ICE agents aren’t moving with a tactical focus; they’re doing what they think will look cool and intimidating in photographs.”
So fierce
My friend Jake’s dad got shot in the face with a flashbang by ICE and has to have reconstructive jaw surgery.
Close up photo of patterns in the ice including an x with a line through it at the center.
This kind of ice is lovely and one of the few positives about this incredibly cold weather.
The other type of ICE needs to melt away and disappear.

A ring of people with hands joined encircle a block of ice being melted and crushed by hammers, quill pens, and watchful eyes. In color.

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time.
Time to claim your true history.
When we write or draw porn or erotica, we get banned from having a bank account and our livelihoods get seized even if we give it away for free.
When billionaires steal what we've written or drawn to churn out a slop-approximate of porn, they're allowed to charge for it.
there is literally nothing wrong with being disabled, and you will be so much happier once you accept that
A landscape painting of a warm pink and purple sunset with a rainbow arching across the sky and dipping below the red tree line. The rainbow is made of small pink, yellow and blue stars.
A landscape painting of a birdseye view of green farmland and large white clouds hanging low over the fields. One cloud hiding among the others is shaped like a four-point star.
A landscape painting of a green forest with a pond in the center. A large white star descends from the pale sky, surrounded by a double halo
A landscape painting of a red, pink, and purple forest with a stream running through it. Three large stars with halos hover just above the surface of the water, reflecting below.
