big into annihilation/southern reach by jeff vandermeer, the music of will wood, and the show scavengers reign, among many other things that i’m sure will cross this page
current hobbies include birding, drawing, painting, amateur film photography, knitting half a scarf that i’ve given up on ever finishing
might post art occasionally, might disappear time-to-time, trying (with limited success) to get off my damn phone :)
most of this is indiscriminate reblogs. fuck fascists, fuck terfs, yadda yadda ok bye
new!!! i made an art blog, @drawingsofpigeons
ps i block accounts w/o pfps unless i know u, and i don’t post/rb anything with links or asks for money. this is not the blog for u if that’s what ur after.
i have moved to a new place and i can hear orioles and grosbeaks and swallows and more from my window. and i saw a gray fox the other night, just wandering thru the parking lot. and bats hunting above the big field nearby. i miss my friends but i'm in love with this place more and more every day.
in the past year i’ve taken up film photography and charcoal drawing :)
several photos were taken in scotland (my first international trip!), others on smaller excursions. drawings were for an art class, but i plan to continue working with charcoal—it was frustrating at first but i ended up loving it!
edit: film photos shot on fujifilm 400, with my lil bitty olympus xa camera from the 80s.
(TLDR: I REBLOG SHIT ALMOST INDISCRIMINATELY. CURRENT FIXATIONS ARE WILL WOOD, ANNIHILATION/THE SOUTHERN REACH, SPRINKLING OF RANGERS APPRENTICE. I like bugs. I like bones. I like mushrooms and dead things. Fuck fascists. yeah. okay actual post starts here)
hi! first (or i guess second) of all, introductions:
i’m pigeon, or any other shortening of my username that you can think of. i’m queer, my pronouns are they/them. i have successfully managed to not go flying off of this spinning, crazy planet for just over 2 decades so far. gravity's wild.
this page ain't gonna be organized or themed. i am haphazardly stacking these posts on my floor and taping them crookedly to the walls.
i'm Great at oversharing useless information (hence the break), so here you go, buckle up:
i am an unending fountain of trivia that is never useful. ask and ye shan't receive; accidentally bring up a topic i rabbitholed at 2am one night 3 years ago and you will unleash a waterfall. tread carefully.
i have a terrible habit of posting a few things and then disappearing for months or more. if i go quiet, i'm just out of ideas and bad at initiating social situations (:
my interests vary wildly, but here’s a loose list of what i’m into at the minute:
-- bugs, arthropods, creepy-crawlies -- houseplants (i'm not good at keeping them alive But i'm getting better) -- books, particularly sci-fi/fantasy and pretty graphic novels -- a small selection of videogames -- cooking, inconsistently -- art, even more so -- bernadette banner/victorian-edwardian fashion -- BONES. skeletons. rocks and fossils. -- space. SPACE. -- music (specifically listening to, not so much creating) -- knitting!!
if you wanna talk books/media, here are some of my all-time favorites (if theres an asterix i either can't remember very much or i'm not fully caught up):
-- ranger's apprentice/brotherband* -- percy jackson & co* -- six of crows -- the books of pellinor* -- fablehaven/beyonders -- over the garden wall -- centaurworld -- minecraft -- stardew valley -- raft -- ori and the blind forest* -- good omens -- doctor who* -- his dark materials -- stranger things -- how to train your dragon -- journey -- area x/annihilation
music i like:
-- will wood -- lemon demon -- hozier -- the oh hellos -- the lumineers -- abba -- radical face -- jack stauber -- fleet foxes -- cosmo sheldrake -- mumford and sons -- penelope scott -- summer salt --
