The longer I don’t make art the more spikes get added to the hallway of picking up the pencil again

You like making art, it’s the only thing you get positive feedback on, you then MUST do art because it’s the only viable path to be safe, ten years later you HATE the art because it stole self acceptance away from you because it turns out that art alone could not keep you safe

"you're good at art you should go to college you should start animation you should get a job in the industry you have so much potential" I SHOULD BE IN THE WOODS. EATING POISONOUS BERRIES

I gotta make some art so tumblr’s algorithm remembers that I’m a weird folksy woods nerd with depression and not someone who romanticizes eating paint or whatever

every single day I think about how american black vultures are known for engaging in interspecific allopreening (preening between different species)

and they have a specific relationship with crested caracaras, in which the black vultures assist them by not only preening them after meals but also leading them to food in the first place— due to their superior sense of smell— while the caracaras assist the black vultures by acting as a warning signal in case of danger

and while this is more typical of black vultures, this is not common at all for any member of the falconidae family— it’s a special bond!

yet another post in favor of vultures everyone , hope you enjoy:) and I implore you to do some more research on these incredible birds !!

EDIT: I meant interspecific allopreening! excuse my typo!

I try not to associate with any one religion too often but I LOVE this vibe for JC, stellar image all around

Happy Easter

If you want to watch a 29 year old man stammer and stutter with confused frustration, be someone who genuinely prefers the third image in my immediate company

It'll be funny for you but don't hang around long because I'm trying to be zen but a shaved-bear-man has limits and being overly confused for too long makes me teary-eyed and can lead to chimp stuff

People are always like “I was born in the wrong era”

Idk if the guys pictured overlap with the humans + giant monster animals + cold age but that’s the times I wish I was around for

No whistleblower assassinations, biggest threat is an especially rambunctious boar-thing or like not surviving being born

I’m so so down for that

This Amphicyon got lucky! It's prey, a large male Oncorhynchus rastrosus already spawned and was in the process of dying.

i know its already been said more eloquently but it really is insane that boeing can just...have a whistleblower executed mid-trial. its not gonna be in the news cycle, no one's gonna bother reporting on it - much less accusing them in a formal manner of killing him - in a few months no one's gonna remember it and everyone's gonna keep flying on their planes

the point of art is not to be great but to make it transparently obvious that there is something wrong with you
