Birds of a feather get inked together! 🪶🤍

Raychel and Alivia have a lot in common with  Makana and Alika, our pair of non-releasable Laysan albatross. 👯‍♀️ That's why they decided to get matching tattoos of the magnificent birds they care for!

You may be lucky enough to meet feathered and fabulous Makana when she chooses to hop on her cart and put on a special program at our Kelp Forest exhibit. 

Alika’s more reserved and prefers a quiet life behind the scenes, but rest assured, she’s in the best company with her dedicated care team. 

Thank you, Raychel, Alivia, and all our aviculturists for the ink-redible work you do! 👏👏👏

This #EarthMonth, join our staff and wider community of ocean lovers who are curious, hopeful, making waves for our blue planet.  🌊🌍

🕊️ Flutter over to our website for simple and meaningful ways you can make a difference for Laysan albatross and other precious marine animals! There’s wonder in ocean life and caring for it helps us all.

How to fix a ripped plushie (clear and easy to follow) by 浪浪山陈三丫头手缝师傅

[pocket-deer-belly]

ok thank god there's so many fucking videos showing you how to do a ladder stitch like it's some kind of magic trick but here's the actual use case for it: closing a seam you can't reach the inside of. in all other cases, if you're fixing a ripped seam on pants, or on a tshirt, the ladder stitch is a messy, glorified running stitch.

Essential plush making technique, this one! Very good video, a lot of tutorials are kinda hard to parse for me.

I’ve been working through some feelings lately.

Update: I’ve decided to add the other protest animals to this post so they are all in one place at least once.

None of my protest animal pieces are available as prints for purchase. Feel free to print them our and use them for signs or personal acts of resistance.

They are made purposefully low res so the scrapers are less likely to successfully steal and scam people with them.

It’s a magical liopleurodon.

Thankful we don’t share the water with these guys anymore - or mosasaurs, spinosaurus, plesiosaurs, ichthyosaurs, etc. etc. etc. I had a hard time choosing which one to draw.

I think I should start bragging about my adopted son’s achievements when people around me start bragging about their kids. Ooooh your child can count to 10 in mandarin? Well, my child found 110 landmines! And he’s only 6 years old!

I believe he was once a otter because of his flippers in the back but at first I thought he was ET also he had a very hard long metal rod up his butt
