#oh to be merely simian in this day and age

No, I will not be taking health advice from someone who assumes I have the issues they do, eats 1,100 calories a day, and asks ChatGPT which medicines are okay to mix.

Yes, His Grace, Duke Douglas of Sealand is even older now. As each year passes, I am more sorry about starting this tradition of posting a semi-tasteful photo.

Really love that I made a Tumblr blog the day before Doug Jones turned 66 and blessed my eyes with this.

#doug jones #didn't expect that

My most Mormon trait is thinking that I could usher in a utopia if I just locked in, created my own branch of the anti-American communist sex cult, and got away from everything to live in an egalitarian polyamorous commune.

That, and thinking being unhappy is a moral failure on my end.

you should get a second evening for reading fan fiction. And you should get an extra day in the week to do arts and crafts.

George Hudson (entomologist) - Wikipedia

Sounds like something George Hudson (y'know, the entomologist?) would say.

POV: You asked a field biologist what is in their pockets.

you mentioned a reference folder you use to help make your formation pieces in the comments on one of your posts somewhere and i'm curious what exactly you have in there. what do you usually look at for inspiration for your formation pieces? any other artists/photography recs?

OH BOY!

It's a wild mix, most of what you find in there are wildlife images with specifically with large and diverse groups of animals and wide landscape shots. But beside that ANY piece of art that might inspire me for larger compositions.

I don't have specific artists I really look for, my net is usually thrown as wide as possible. Since the science narrows you down so much already I want to keep an open mind when it comes to the compositions and storytelling.

here some examples

In case you want to have a closer look at the OTHER reference folder that we work on during the research phase for these pieces you can now look at all these size charts in here:

Absolutely sickened by and in awe of Buckethead. He's made SO MUCH music. And he's got a bucket on his head.

#buckethead #music #absolutely sickening #how dare he have such talent #it's beautiful #goddamn

Nothing better than scrubbing the bone grease of a Puma concolor from tubs and beakers.
