I want us all to have the best lives possible. I want us all to make it with full bellies and warm hearts and eyes that remain open and clear! I want someone else’s excitement to be my excitement. I want us all to look on at each other’s successes and feel pride for them. I want it!

I have drawn over 500 pages of comic in self indulgent making over the last year. WHY THE EFF am I having new sketchbook "I'm never going to fill this" and "just going to ruin this" anxiety? I'm just going to draw the most self indulgent bullcarp I can. For me. That's why it exists. Why, brain?

Your daily reminder that some birds have eyelashes made of tiny modified feathers. They're found in at least one species of 28 families of birds (out of 205). An example of convergent evolution. Examples: ostriches, secretarybirds, hornbills & hummingbirds. (📷: Nicolas Reusens Photography)

$Captured by @nicolasreusens, these close-ups show the eye and eyelid margin of a hummingbird at roughly 3 to 3.5x magnification. What look like lashes are modified feathers, not hairs, and researchers have proposed that they may help protect the eye from airborne particles during flight. Eyelash-like feather structures have only been documented in a fraction of the bird families surveyed so far. These photographs were taken at the Catia Hummingbird Sanctuary in Mexico.$ $Captured by @nicolasreusens, these close-ups show the eye and eyelid margin of a hummingbird at roughly 3 to 3.5x magnification.

I had to buy a box cause a packet of kleenex wasn't going to to hold it. I had a flashback to being a kid, stealing handfuls of brown paper towels to maybe keep the blood from soaking through my pants and getting in trouble for that. But yeah, no one ever needs a public washroom.

Not for the first time in my life, and likely not the last, did I have to put on a new pad in a back alley so that maybe I could get home without leaving a trail of blood. No public washrooms, yo.

I made a spear inspired by the snaking fog that I see coming down the river valley in the fall mornings we call The Dragon. Made with steel that was once equipment that farmed these valleys, wood that grew here as well, and wax that keeps it rust free is from the bees here too.

My spear, Morning Dragon. A wavy spearhead with a blue shaft and long blue tassel, a brass charm on the tassel bears my mark

On this day of labor remember: when they tell you (and they will tell you) that Covid is not a labor issue, ask them if people catch Covid at work, ask them if people have to work while sick, and when they say yes, tell them that’s why Covid is a labor issue.

Once again, I am reminded how right on red needs to be stopped. It isn't "turn right on red, if it is clear." It is just "act like you have right of way on red." Why yes, I might have had a near hit today, as well as having to wait two cycles at a crossing light because the cars would not stop.

Kim's "Wire Mother" and Tia Tashiro's "Missing Helen," but also the 10 other stories that got the closest number of nominations. In descending order: Angela Liu's Barbershops of the Floating City, Hildur Knutsdottir's The Shape of Stones, E.M. Linden's the Tawlish Island Songbook of the Dead, Carrie Vaughn's Woolly, Stephanie Burgis's Mail-Order Magic, Marie Vibbert's Yarn Theory, Isabel J.
