Fixed up the About page- pinned for convenience and mobile users

Welcome to the blog of a very confused fella, hope you enjoy your time passing through 🎉 I’m mostly a mobile user, so I apologize if there’s any webpage hiccups. My side blog for fanstuff and general tomfoolery is opalmarbles.

What's on the blog:

Who knows! I started this blog years ago for fun. It's mostly reblogs of animals, food, plants, photography or other random things of interest. I occasionally chatter under the tag “turtle thoughts,” but moreso on my side blog.

Send me a message if:

you’d like anything tagged, if I reblogged stolen work, you just wanna chat, if you’d like me to take something down I reblogged from you, etc..

Please message if I accidentally interacted with a creep, or if the animal/bug thing I reblogged wasn't actually "cute" (i.e. depicts bad husbandry, stress, exotics being kept as pets, came from an anti animal welfare source, etc).

Blog does currently contain/content to be aware of:

untagged reblogs of recipes/images of food and alcohol, as well as images/videos of reptiles, bones, blades and bugs. Please be cautious viewing the blog if any of these don’t mesh well for you

My current tags:

are a bit of a mess, but if anything is specifically requested it will be properly reblogged/posted with a tag 👍

Feel free to:

follow/unfollow/block as you are most comfortable, spam my notes with a like/reblog spree, or send messages. Again, lmk if I accidentally interacted with a creep.

This is Gilbert. He’s been around a while. Attributes his long life to many, many years of always getting what he wants

Well, now I'm a Gilbert fan. That sly villainous grin and squint…

in recent events of that zoo losing the clouded leopard, it reminded me of the time i went to a large petting zoo and there was a free roaming little black sheep. cutest little guy i ever saw, soi went to the zookeeper nearby and said ‘i think its really cute how you have a sheep thats allowed to just walk around. ‘ then the zookeepers eyes widened and he grabbed his walky talky and ran

lol apparently I taught my parrot that "are you okay?" "yeah, thanks" is a call-and-response phrase and now if you answer with anything other than "yeah, thanks" he gets upset and keeps asking in an attempt to get you to say the "right" answer.

[draconym]

Within the past few months, not only has my parrot gotten more open-minded about the possible answers to "are you okay?" but he's also developed a really convincing imitation of sobbing so that he can feel included.

Crow's Nest

[protectoursharks]

The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.

at work: i could be cooking and cleaning and coding and reading and working out and weaving tapestries and playing video games and climbing a mountain and having sex and filming a movie right now yet they keep me trapped in this prison. idle hands are the devils plaything and i am being forcibly molded into his perfect conduit. i must break free, seize the day and waste not the beauty inherent to finite mortal life

at home: my one true passion upon this pointless earth is bog mummy imitation

I'm making a farm. you can live there but you have to contribute. what are you doing?

👁️

beekeeping. making sure they are well, maintaining hive, creating honey

gardening. herbs, fruits, veggies, you name them, I'm on it

cooking. creating wonderful meals from the food we grew for us all to enjoy

animals. chickens, goats, cats, dogs, everyone is well fed, petted and enriched

clay. I'm making mugs, pots, spoons, lil sculptures. it's nice

bugs. I make sure that we have easy and environmentally friendly protein

dry herbs. I'm in charge of wonderful tea, aromatics, spices, and weed

alcohol. I brew nice drinks that we can all enjoy at the end of the day

heavy work. I do repairs, cut wood, start fire, and anything else that's needed

fishing. I go by the river and idly spend my day catching fish that we can grill
