I think Tumblr should institute an experimental "deep queue" which will reblog one random post from your likes every hour. Prioritizing the oldest crustiest posts you liked 10 years ago. And you can't choose which blog it goes to.

“Peep and the Big Wide World”

Watercolor and colored pencil, 21.5x16”

Last summer I photographed what I think was a young Eastern Kingbird at my favorite lake. It was hopping around and chirping with some older family members flying nearby. I walked it over to safety off the path and it pecked at my shoes! I got so close I could see the big wide world reflected in its little eye.

I had been meaning to paint it ever since that encounter. I started with a detailed pencil sketch, went in with watercolor, and then added some feather highlights back in with white colored pencil. I’ll make a video showing photos I took after each session.

Late May bird sounds: an eastern meadowlark calling twice with some bonus bobolinks singing at the end.

1 hour into my 10 hr train ride they announce there's no food on board only chips and soda because the fridge broke

5 hours into my train I am only a 3 hour drive from my house because the tracks are too hot for the train to go fast on

6 hours into my train ride it has already been delayed 2 hours

7 hours into my train ride I drop my sunglasses down the toilet losing them forever and return to my seat in a direct beam of boiling light

Genuinely I should have just driven the 9 hours

[snailkites]

Rest in peace 2024-2026 to my polarized sunglasses I bought for my costa rica trip. You served me so well. You didn't deserve to fall down the train toilet.

Decided to start a nuzlocke of Alpha Sapphire to pass the time. The movement of the train caused me to misclick and kill my own poochyena in a double battle. When will Amtrak answer for their crimes against me
