A little "scribbly", but I needed to get him out of my head and into a drawing tonight.
Another extremely severe wildfire season is underway in Canada. The planet’s forests are burning so a few people can increase their net worth by a percentage or two

@futurebird Without arthropods, would lobopods and Onychophora take over?

Imagine a wonderful world dominated by velvet worms. Where they diversify to fill in niches that arthropods don't occupy. Velvet worm crabs, Velvet worm ants and Velvet worm butterflies.

AI will not make you a better writer if you’re a good writer.

Those who actually know how to write know this and have every right to be smug about it.

I like this shot because you can see the whole length of that wonderful stiletto beak. Green Spring Gardens, Alexandria, Virginia, USA 11-July-2025 #birds #birdphotography #naturephotography

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

We’re so close!! This emergency drive is to help displacement needs for the six fams + displacement camp of 15 more we support through this giving circle. Anything you can give genuinely helps.

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle

We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that their campaigns are extremely stagnant and wanted to find a way to direct steady help to them. We distribute your contributions equally every week for sustainable support.

“If you're baffled as to why
they're murdering health
workers in Gaza, it’s because
they are the people who will
testify in court as to what has
been done. They are killing the
witnesses.”

What so many people in the world don’t understand is that artists aren’t simply “chasing dreams.” More — so much more — than that, they are being themselves, investing, discovering, learning, creating, changing, growing, breaking, reinventing, building, sharing, teaching, and inspiring.

Never disparage artists. Without them, troubled hearts, anxious souls, and knotted minds would know little refuge, and nominal growth.

@BPStuart I cried when I saw this painting in person. I was a 40-something man, and I sat on the floor and I cried.

His works are moving. I feel as if I’ve lived in that bedroom many times, when pursuing a life in the arts. It’s poetic, charmed, and sometimes a bit lonely and frightening. However peculiar and sometimes disturbing, it’s a beautiful place because there’s a simplicity, a humility, a warmth, and a sincerity to it. I’ve enjoyed the privilege of seeing several of his works, and they’re moving. You just want to reach out and touch them. One can feel the texture without even touching.
