evan.

i have fallen through a lot of institutional cracks.

[kelmping]

uh, hey. evan here. i’m a fictive. nice to meet you, hopefully.

evan kelmp (feel free to come up with nicknames?)

he/him

22 (bodymatch)

uh, bi? i think? maybe also aspec? (regardless, i also call myself gay)

polyam (i dated both dream/k and jammer :-) )

🐐♥️♟️♥️🍬♥️🎙️ ← like this. (the mic is sam, who also dated k)

here are my exomems

autistic + adhd + ptsd/cptsd (i got both. yay. :| ) + general anxiety + social anxiety + depression

system alter (@merlynic is our collective sys blog)

again; i’m a fictive. i love my source and it means a lot to me, but i am a person outside of it, and i am absolutely not a roleplay blog.

that said, i don’t mind literary analysis of my source as much as i “used to.” it was weird when dream did it, since she was. there in it. but i know it’s a fictional medium, as well as a deconstruction of various tropes, and i come from a system that holds narrative analysis and storytelling very dearly. i might even offer my two cents in tags from time to time. :-)

i don’t really have a dni. if you’re a creep, i’ll block you.

that said. trans women are women, kink belongs at pride, all oppressed peoples deserve the right to fight for their own survival, and the safety of one should never rely on the deliberate murder of innocents.

i’ll mainly rb stuff about my source and funny posts i like. i don’t really have the spoons for much else. and i might not be very active. but i hope you have a nice visit anyway.

[alexriesart]

The Superb Fairy Wren, a charming little species that used to frequent the farm I grew up on.   One of my earliest natural history paintings.

This is the standard winged nightjar and it has one singular stupidly big feather on each wing... if you even care.

[legalise-greenleaf]

Love this guy

[a-book-of-creatures]

That’s standard as in “pennant” or “banner”, not standard as in “normal”.

But it’s not a pennant-winged nightjar. THIS is a pennant-winged nightjar… if you even care.

[crevicedwelling]

can’t forget the Lyre-tailed Nightjar! there’s actually a number of these ridiculous guys, and they’re partly why caprimulgiforms are some of my favorite birds

also the Sickle-winged Nightjar, which is. come on, that’s just a weird moth

[a-book-of-creatures]

Everyone does care about nightjars 🥹

[huffylemon]

[crevicedwelling]

spent far too long laughing at this chaotic little guy. he is only ever either yelling or running around like a little freak

[crevicedwelling]

I love this little wretched thing I hope it stops being endangered

Pigeon wings under a UV light

[crazy-pages]

"The secret invisible light we cannot directly perceive creates beautiful vaguely rune-like shaped on the religiously significant appendages of an otherwise mundane animal" yeah get out of here, tone down the fantasy vibes a little bit, that's too much. Oh wait that's reality? ... Well then.

[kedreeva]

It's probably been said in the notes, but this isn't a natural UV color! This is a racing stamp lighting up under UV, which means this little guy is a racing pigeon!

Here's Martha, the winning bird from the 2017 Arona Derby

And a more complex stamp in normal colors:

The stamps are used to verify the pigeons before and after, with a fairly complicated matching process in some cases

Which is understandable! Some of these birds are worth thousands of dollars, and winning the races can also be worth thousands of dollars. In fact, the most expensive bird, and I mean most expensive period across all species, was a racing pigeon sold for over a million dollars!

So maybe not natural but certainly still cool!

Happy New Year! Here is my holiday card from 2023. As an experiment, I ran this image through Glaze, one of several projects being developed at the moment to protect art and artists from having their work stolen by machine learning algorithms to feed computer generated art programs. Glaze was developed by the SAND Lab at the University of Chicago. It was quite a lengthy process- after I downloaded the app it took me well over an hour to glaze this single 200dpi image. I can see the subtle differences the program made when comparing this version to the original, but no one looking at it without the original would be likely to spot them. Unless the process of glazing an image speeds up considerably, I am unlikely to glaze everything I post online. However, I do plan to glaze artworks that I especially love, took me a long time to complete, or which I feel are more vulnerable to being stolen. Here's to making and sharing lots more art in 2024, despite all the complications!

Today I spotted a Robin nest in one of the apple trees. It looked fresh and had no eggs in it so I decided to take a chance and put a Birdsy camera there. It was so cute to see the bird sing while in the nest.⁠
