Whenever attempts to hyper-stratify queer identities comes up it's pretty inevitably gentry trying to gatekeep, weird drama or literal grifters trying to start shit for clicks. All worth rejecting, especially if you're trans. Narrowly defined queer communities are always to our detriment.

More old LoZ art from 2021! I started a series of illustrations of boss battles from A Link to the Past but only got three in before I got too busy with other things.

An illustration of Link fighting Armos, a big red monster like a suit of armour. It swipes its massive sword down at him as he aims his bow.

An illustration of Link fighting Lanmola, a giant evil caterpillar monster. As it coils around him he stabs it with a sword.

Link fighting Moldorm - a segmented worm monster with huge bulging eyes and an eyeball flower at the end of its tail. Link is leaping down up with sword raised, aimed at Moldorm's head.

Fisher demon

A pair of folk ran across the river soaked, so when they came across a great gnarled hook black as the moonless night, it began to twitch, and a hunched-over black furry mass watched with glaring red eyes, its chorus-like voice reverberating and giving them a message (for That is the nature of its kind) "Those who yearn for catches great, leave only bones where the dead should wake," and promptly left, its tail flicking and furling its small wings, fluttering as it bound away. This felt like a simple prophecy, but the pair of folk began to dissect it from every angle, obsessing over the contents of its words. How it applied to them, who they could blame, each misfortune compounding a new manic interrogation, writhing with anxiety and panic. But all this to say, the demon ultimately was just annoyed they had bothered its fishing and decided to misuse its role in a bout of pettiness and remained satisfied with the results.

I love charts like this, as they remind us that good policy is possible AND successful There’s a similar trend for Paris and indeed there’s no secret to it: it’s all urban planning to improve public transport and incentivise an overwhelming adoption of it, and also reintroduce much more greenery

Chart that showcases Paris throughout the years and its air pollution levels, showcasing the years 2007, 2012, 2017 and 2023. Gradually, what were extremely high pollution levels gradually decreased, turning areas which are coloured red into progressively greener ones, which indicate considerably lower air pollution levels if not healthy air quality entirely

Keeper of Equilibrium 🐺⚖️✨ A inspired by the history, role, and responsibility of wolves in Yellowstone National Park's ecosystem. Made for my solo show—PERSONAL MYTHOLOGY—at GR2 Gallery. This piece is available here: www.giantrobot.com/products/shi... #art #pottery

A large ceramic sculpture of a wolf sitting with it’s arms cradled holding a very small bison and elk sculpture in it’s paws. There is a large cavity carved into the heart of the wolf with an arrowhead charm hanging inside the cavity.
There are two ravens perched on either shoulder of the wolf, and a gold luster disk positioned behind the wolf’s head like a crown.
The wolf features a variety of sgraffito details and the back and arms feature California Poppies.

Back into the education mines next week, but here's a butterfly I saw today. There are also presently at least 10 monarch caterpillars on my milkweeds!

Very zoomed in photo of a small butterfly, likely a Grey Hairstreak. It's perched on the right upper quadrant of a bright orange wildflower, which is center frame. The butterfly has big, oval, black eyes and b/w striped antennae which end in a black oval. Its proboscis is extended but held in a spiral. The wings are brownish-grey, with some small black, white, and faint orange stripes towards the edges of each wing. Back wings have a bright orange spot with black dots inside. The body of the butterfly is white or pale grey with fluff.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

For all the fungi hunters out there, the Heitman Lab at Duke University is looking for Cryptococcus luteus found associated with crust fungi on fallen logs. Every sample helps! #mycology

A wanted poster for the fungus Granulobasidium vellereum and its parasite Cryptococcis luteus. Searchers should check the underside of fallen logs (especially elm) for white to cream crusts on the bottom side. The parasite appears as pale-yellow circular patches on the fungal surface. If found, searchers should record the location, host, take a photo, and send the whole branch/piece in a paper bag to the Heitman lab.

of the many things to love about Tim Curry and Dolly Parton, here's one: It's as if every time they heard someone say, "you're going too big," they went BIGGER. Big presence, big hair, big charisma, big everything. Pouring one out for two artists who just WENT FOR IT and never apologized for that.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.
