The only thing I can think of with that chicken with a metal beak prosthetic is, "Damn, whatever flock she joins is gonna be covered in lesions." Chickens do corrective pecks at each other as a matter of course... They're not damaging pecks, in a healthy flock, just bird communication. But that's with a beak made of keratin. Now imagine replacing one of their beaks with a knife.

Also it made me think of that Ed, Edd, and Eddy episode where Rolf is trying to make metal shoes for the chickens but they just fall over

‘Manuel’ - Rodrigo (Rodrigo Muñoz Ballester)

‘Manuel’ was showed in the 1983 edition of ARCO, Madrid’s contemporary art fair. It was deemed “the first gay sculpture at the fair” and caused some commotion in Spain’s cultural scene. The artist, Rodrigo, made this sculpture based on a man he met and fell in love with at a public pool in 1976.

"READ MY DNI" no. use your block button like an adult. i'm not scrolling through the many-paragraphs-long pinned posts of every blog i reblog something from. if you insist certain types of people aren't welcome in the notes of your posts then it's your responsibility to curate that. or choose a closed social media platform like facebook or instagram. or go and live in a barn away from humanity if you really don't like sharing the world with people who are different from you

Aw thanks for the update! Life has been busy, no worries, I'm not on a tight deadline or anything :3 just excited to hear feedback whenever you can.

Feeling happily tired after helping the local climate group relocate some donated trees. Vast majority are fruit-bearing. They'll go to community members to help with food security in the area!
