Hazel and I are extremely proud to be a part of @xtramagazine.com 's special "Comics Against Censorship", edited by the wonderful and talented @redgoldsparks.bsky.social and @melwoods.me. Here is a panel from our comic!
Two fat raccoons who represent Hazel and Bell looking hopeless. A text bubble says " Thanks to murky guidelines on apps, websites and other platforms, many LGBTQ2S+ webcomics that would have reached wide audiences 10 years ago are now being pressured to self censor."

I’m still processing this 2 days later. I was sitting in a kayak when this baby beluga decided to play with me. Other whales joined in and you can see what happened next. What isn’t on camera is that one then started pushing me around the river for five-ish minutes. It was an unforgettable moment.

You never know if a marmot is stalking you. Well, sometimes you do :) This wild-born marmot was quite curious about us during our visit to Haley Lake Ecological Reserve today.
Despite you might infer from the hint of white nose, patch of chocolate brown fur and eye peaking out from behind a large rock, there could not possibly be a Vancouver Island marmot in this photo.Oh! There was! And now they are popping their head out from behind the rock. But before that, you had no idea.

The turtle is black with yellow stripes on its face and legs, and a yellow plastron. The duckling is very fuzzy with a white chest, brown back and head, and a long brown bill.

Two hummingbird chicks with iridescent green and bronze feathers huddle together in a small, cup-shaped nest made of plant fibers and lichen. They are facing the same direction with their long beaks pointed slightly upward against a soft, blurred green background.
