THIS IS SO FUCKEDDDD WTF and you're in their range as well... i wonder if you could look into their habitat/tree preferences and see if you can use that to narrow down spots at the hotspots they've been reported at. they also will go to bird feeders so nature center w/ a birdfeeder could be a strat

Finally set up something I had on the backburner for ages, a filterable gallery of my art hosted on my site! A lot of art has its own custom captions/descriptions on a click. Check it out... pelagic.zone/art

THIS IS SO AMAZING WOW!!!!!!!!! I love your gallery especially (love reading additional descriptions and commentary under art, its something I miss on sites set up like bluesky lol) and the layout is so sleek and full of personality... I will have to add your button when I'm back at my computer >:)

Here's an example of the captions in the lightbox, the extra description when present can be seen on a click. This was a large learning process (wrote a bit about the process here: petrel.bearblog.dev/filtered-gal...) and I still have to fill in a rather large art backlog, but happy with it for now.

Screenshot from website of a drawing opened with a lightbox containing a title, date, and extra description that's able to be toggled

A quillback rockfish. Not quite a drawing with a quill but with a dip pen, which feels of-a-sort. - #SundayFishSketch + #SciArtSeptember Day 27: Quill

been listening to pokemon soundtrack compilation playlists as background music while i work or do chores, and sometimes a playlist sneaks in a cool "i don't want to say goodbye" from pmd2 out of nowhere. what the hell man. you can't do that

it's once in a lifetime • #art #ocs

Digital illustration of an anthro Wilson's storm petrel woman wearing a red high-vis parka and black pants in the "hanged man" tarot pose. She's overlaid and outlined in red over a painted satellite view of glaciers and valleys. The caption at the bottom reads "You'll never get this chance again!" as the glaciers fall away into darkness.

working on a loose sona design for personal art • #art

Digital drawing of a person with a human body and a stylized black wolf head. A sprout grows out of the top and they have silver glasses. The reference notes the head can also be represented by absence/negative space symbolically in art, and in a mirrored drawing the wolf head reflects the clouds.

OHHHH THAT SOUNDS FUN i was just thinking about how the only portal i've ever played with myself (aka not watching or reading about it) was multiplayer portal with a high school friend... i own at least one of the portals on steam that i picked up on sale years ago, so i'll have to investigate!

when i was 12 i was hyperfixated on the portal series and read absolutely all there was to know about it, but never actually played it myself because the setting scared me (and i lacked a system to run it). the truth of my life now in 2026 is that i feel like i could draw a Really Good Chell.
