Let's do some Julyreply shall we?? Photo unrelated, here's a sick-ass sunset from the other day As Junited has come to an end, its originator reached out about this little thing called JulyReply that sort of acts like a "yes, and" for blog posts throughout the month and like, you know me. I'm nothing if not down for...
In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop As a starter, wanna toss out that the Supreme Court ending pride month 2026 with "eh maybe trans people shouldn't have any rights" is pretty par for the course with the christofascist regime we're living in but that doesn't make it any less...
I've gotten both a baby and now a teen cardinal on my lifer list, I'm so stoked lmao Ok so like, a month ago I photographed a baby cardinal who was learning how to fly and was this awkward little frumpy mess - but today?? TODAY I GOT TO SEE THEM MORE GROWN UP and it's fucking glorious. Please observe!!! The color...

In which I challenge myself to draw a pokemon every day until I stop Wild few days but I'm nothing if not determined to see this project through till at least Wind and Waves come out. Anyway, in today's post we don't have a lot of icons. In fact, we have some pretty goddamn forgettable Pokemon designs. They were all...
TALKIN SHIT (Fun sidenote, I learned that this little fucker is called the "Gray Catbird" and I love it so much) I-guess-this-is-just-gonna-be-a-format-I-use-from-now-on photography
Limiting myself to 9 because that's what the format was, but I could prolly go WAY harder Last week, the 9 Steam Games I Want to Spread page was going around all over socials and I wanted to do one, but instead of "make an image with it and social media post it" I kinda figured it would be great blogging vector...
The promised continuation As mentioned yesterday, for some reason I can only put one slider per post and maybe that's for the best because I have to stretch these out rather than just dumping them all into a giant mess post. Saturday had a good daymoon, but Sunday? Sunday had a great daymoon. Enjoy: .slider-before,...
