Hey! Long time no see! Popping by to share a couple bees I’ve illustrated as part of a commission that I’m working on :) The green bee is a striped sweat bee (Agapostemon sp) & the black bee is a leafcutter bee (Megachile sp) Is there a particular pollinator that you’d like to see illustrated?

Be it by accident, carelessness, or intention, humans have driven an uncountable number of species to extinction.

There was a time when Reunion giant tortoise (Cylindraspis indica) herds dominated an island in the Indian ocean. The curious and friendly behavior of these gentle giants made them easily hunted, introduced invasive species decimated any future generation, and they were met with extinction in the 1800s.

A large relative to the pigeon, the Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) was a turkey-sized flightless bird endemic to a small island east of Madagascar. The Dodo's fearlessness towards humans allowed for easy and heavy hunting. The first record of the Dodo was penned in 1598 and not even 65 years later - by 1662 - the species was believed to be lost.

Curious, gentle, and nearly 3x the size of a manatee, Steller's sea cows (Hydrodamalis gigas) were never recorded to have caused damage to the ships ruthlessly hunting them. Though populations were already in decline, the Steller's sea cow went extinct within 27 years of European discovery.

The Falkland Islands wolf (Dusicyon australis), like the others, was similarly curious and fearless of humans. This trusting behavior was easily exploited and used to lure the small canids to an accelerated extinction.

It is a shame how the most gentle are often the most easily exploited. The loss is unquantifiable.

PROTECT TRANS FOLKS. PROTECT TRANS KIDS. PROTECT TRANS RIGHTS. PROTECT TRANS FUTURES. 🗣️🏳️‍⚧️

Illustration of a hissing opossum (head only, wearing a red bandana). The opossum is made to look like it's yelling/hissing text that reads, in large lettering "Protect TRANS" (and in smaller, stacked lettering "FOLKS. KIDS. RIGHTS. FUTURES." The text is whispy and is on an even whispier teal gradient background. The opossum ('possum') head and text bubble is outlined in black and placed in front of a bright yellow circle (creating a crescent-moon-esque appearance) and set of a dark blue-black background with small speckling light beams. The illustration is 'signed' with the artist's handle, @lavendercowboyart, under the possum's bandana.

You do not have to keep getting sick, and you definitely cannot keep being a vector that sickens, disables, and kills others. It is anti-progressive, anti-humanist behavior to keep ignoring a disease that, as you all say, isn’t going anywhere. It’s time to adapt. Or…well, you know the rest.

So ok, here’s the deal. We’ve been skating on the fact that we had a massive summer wave last year, one of the biggest we’ve *ever* had. Since then, no new strain really took over, so people who got sick last year have been coasting on limited immunity to that strain. That’s about to change.

4. The judge, when evaluating whether or not the transgender plaintiffs were being discriminated against in a way that likely violates their equal protection under the law, ruled that they likely were.

The State Department’s Passport Policy made two substantive changes to its prior policy:
(1) where it once allowed applicants to obtain a passport with a sex marker reflecting their gender
identity or sex assigned at birth, it now allows applicants to obtain a passport reflecting only their
sex assigned at birth; and (2) where it once allowed non-binary, intersex, and gender nonconforming
applicants to obtain a passport with an “X” sex marker, it has now eliminated that
option. In making both substantive changes in conformance with Executive Order 14168, the State
Department has drawn classifications based on sex. As to the first policy change, applicants are
explicitly treated differently based on their sex assigned at birth. A person who identifies as female
can receive a passport marked “F” if her sex assigned at birth was female, but not if her sex
assigned at birth was male. Likewise, a person who identifies as male can receive a passport
marked “M” if his sex assigned at birth was male, but not if his sex assigned at birth was female.
Put more concretely, plaintiffs Zaya Perysian and Chastain Anderson, transgender women, were
denied passports marked “F” because their sex assigned at birth was male, but an otherwise
identically situated person who likewise identifies as female could receive a passport marked “F”
if her sex assigned at birth was female. The differential treatment—in whether the applicant can
obtain a passport with a sex marker that reflects their gender identity—is entirely dependent on
the applicant’s sex assigned at birth. Viewed from any angle, that amounts to a classification based
on sex.

A little firefly jar. #posca #markers #painting #fireflies

This narrow, vertical painting is small and depicts a glass canning jar floating open with the lid drifting away. Inside the jar fireflies surge to escape and swarm in the air, among a thicket of honeysuckle flowers. The serene teals remind me of summer in the south, chasing fire flies in the Ouachita Valley. I still remember what honeysuckles taste like, and I think about it when I’m sad.
