[druid-for-hire]

[image id: a four-page comic. it is titled "immortality” after the poem by clare harner (more popularly known as “do not stand at my grave and weep”). the first page shows paleontologists digging up fossils at a dig. it reads, “do not stand at my grave and weep. i am not there. i do not sleep.” page two features several prehistoric creatures living in the wild. not featured but notable, each have modern descendants: horses, cetaceans, horsetail plants, and crocodilians. it reads, “i am a thousand winds that blow. i am the diamond glints on snow. i am the sunlight on ripened grain. i am the gentle autumn rain.” the third page shows archaeopteryx in the treetops and the skies, then a modern museum-goer reading the placard on a fossil display. it reads, “when you awaken in the morning’s hush, i am the swift uplifting rush, of quiet birds in circled flight. i am the soft stars that shine at night. do not stand at my grave and cry.” the fourth page shows a chicken in a field. it reads, “i am not there. i did not die” / end id]

a comic i made in about 15 hours for my school’s comic anthology. the theme was “evolution”

While researching my post about skipping and galloping, I learned that lemurs also skip like humans. I was able to find a video of some lemurs skipping and it's pretty neat:

Listen who says every alien abducter is some evil space military guy doing nasty autopsies and shit. What if you get abducted by the equivalent of like. Xenobiology grad students who are just really into human foraging habits. What if they just want a stool sample and to tag you so they can track your grocery store habits. Do you know how banal most science is. The chances of ending up scooped for a fucked up project is low.

Here I am about to get killed over stupid diamonds and all I can think of is this infuriating creature next to me. She reconfigured all of my atoms and now she’s acting aloof. Could true love last only one night and day?
