So much of learning to draw is drawing the same or similar things over and over to really see the pattern and shape of what you’re trying to make. Anyway, I’ve drawn about 30 hellebores flowers right now and my 30th looks way better than my first.

No less than three times I was like, "oh I got it," and turned out to be wrong two of the times. It was so good... and infuriating?

If you're interested in birds at all (evolution, biology, scientific discoveries) I highly recommend The Wonder of Birds by Jim Robbins. I have a few articles in the works to deep dive into a couple chapters. It was a great editing job, too, I know he had to condense a lot, which is so hard.

Finished reading The Ferryman by Justin Cronin. He pulls you into the world, and the main character development is so strong that it had me feeling worried, angry, disgusted, and also some how happy for the main character. Still thinking about the book today, which is always a good sign.

Oh god don’t do it. I got both at the same time last year and was wrecked so fast. Will probably do it again this year since if I’m gonna be down for the count I’d rather just do it once. But hot yoga too??? Insta-dead.

This is funny, because people always assume I'm originally from the east coast (I'm not), and I've never been to Maryland. I think this is mostly because I was raised by people who were much older than me (also not from Maryland though) and I picked up their pronunciations.

This is a heat map that shows where your dialect is most likely from. The east coast is red, middle america is blue and yellow. And the west coast is a mix of lighter shades of blue, yellow, and red. The text says: Redder areas talk more like you; bluer areas least. You talk most like someone from Maryland. About 55% of your answers match a typical resident.

The more I understand how differently animals perceive and move through the world, I just wonder if it's even possible to devise the right kind of tests to understand them. We're quite literally living in different realities because our perceptions and abilities are so different from each other.

And fish have a lateral line organ that allows them to detect pressure gradients, vibration, and movement. It helps fish hunt and helps them be able school together in groups. They can basically feel what's going on around them without the object, animal, whatever physically touching them.

The world looks very different to a bird, to a deer, to a bee. I'm finding that the world is made of colors that don't exist, at least not to all of us. So what does the world look like to those who s...

a completely different way to each other. A similar thing happens in bees. They see fewer colors but can see UV light. So a flower that just looks yellow to us might look bright white with a neon pink center to let the bee know that the flower has nectar. hopefulnature.studio/how-bees-see...

The more I read about animals, the more I wonder if what limits our understanding of animal behavior comes from a limit in perception. Birds can see UV light, but humans can't. So a crow that looks black to us look varying shades of violet to other birds. Basically, birds look one way to us an

Spent the morning reading "The Hole" by Hiroko Oyamada. I read a lot so am used to getting pulled into stories, but this one was such a page-turner. It's a short, quick read, which was fun. It's also creepy, unnerving, sad, and beautifully written and translated.

I'm sad to hear that Dolly Parton passed away, and so moved by how universally loved she was. she did so much good for the world, and always seemed to be a genuinely kind, happy person. RIP to a true role model

First Dolly Parton, a model of living your life with kindness, generosity, and joy. And now Tim Curry, one of the most delightfully unhinged actors I ever had the pleasure of watching. From Ferngully to Rocky Horror Picture Show to Muppet Treasure Island to Clue. What a rough couple of days.
