"what if aliens aren't made of water and carbon and made us question what it means to be a lifeform?" "what if aliens are all just microscopic?"

What if a storm was alive bro. What if we observed the storms on Jupiter for millennia and concluded that on some enormous scale it was alive? That it was so complex under the surface that it seemed programmed to sustain itself? What if a storm bigger than the Earth itself behaved like a single celled organism? What then?

A zine I made at my friends place with their scraps and some of mine. I was also given some hornets nest paper which is cool!! so some of that in here too

It’s nonsense but its fun lol

Vauley about horses and larva and machines 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎with a tiny subplot of rabbits

The reason the pages look weird are uh cuz these are on sketchbook paper rather than like a copy-sized paper

it looks huge I promise its not ;-; this is just my scan looks weird on tumblr

Been trying to figure out how to copy/reprint it which is difficult. my stupid HP printer (fuck hp btw) will only print in 300dpi (or should) but honestly it looks lower quality but perhaps theres some printing setting Im missing or maybbeee cuz the ink is low. Thinking the library would print this better than my OWN PRINTER smh.

The universe [...] is an organism, it interacts, it has a parity of purpose and a harmony of identity. Most questions on the order of, "Why are we here?" can't be answered because they presuppose that each of us is discrete, set off from the universe or environment, confronting it rather than a subsection of it.

saw a poll of which animal you'd choose to be reincarnated as and i wanted to create a broader range of options that included more families & organisms! so:

what species would you choose to be reincarnated as?

canine

feline

ungulate (horse, deer, antelope..)

other land mammal (rodent, primate..)

bird

reptile / amphibian (lizard, snake, frog..)

insect / arachnid (bug, spider, scorpion..)

fish (shark, stingray..)

marine mammal

some obscure specific creature (whether in one of the above families or not)

plant / fungi (tree, mushroom..)

i don't know / couldn't choose / see answers

the ( ) brackets are for anyone who's not sure which species comes under each classification.

please feel free to specify in the tags, and please reblog for a larger sample size! <3
