I had a lot of fun watching the film Death of a Unicorn, and its message really stuck with me, so I had to paint up something inspired by the film's message. Had a bit of trouble at the start, but overall, really enjoy how he turned out.

There are some other versions, including a much bloodier one, and if you fancy seeing them on a t shirt, there's a link below to my Redbubble <3

FREE POSTER DOWNLOADS via Linktree

I'm starting a small archive this year of high res poster variants (and some new designs) that people can download and print themselves.

Full color and high quality prints will still be available on the shop, but accessibility of my art is one of my priorities for this year, so these options will be here too! You can also support via Ko-Fi if you feel so inclined!

after cataloguing a few local vegetables and fruits, you've decided to take a break, and maybe find a hot drink to savor. And what's better than a hot drink poured from a cute bird shaped kettle?

Wanted to try designing some kettles/pots for my setting and got fixed on the idea of these "whistle birds" (maybe named after the sound they make when the water inside is boiling?).

Obviously with varying degrees of artistry, from wealthier styles to more down to earth working class vessels. Even some big carafes or jugs :3

The more finely designed whistlebirds might have shapes or mechanisms that sound like birdsong when pouring out their contents (like those whistles that exist irl).

It's very apparent that "board games" can mean very different things to different people when one game feels the need to warn you that it can take up to thirty minutes to play, while another prides itself on being "quick playing" on the basis that a minimal two-player game should only take two to three hours.

having online friends who are busy is just like. I LOVE YOU. I miss you. YOU GOT THIS. I'm giving you space to work. I LOVE YOU.

[onekisstotakewithme]

reminder to everyone i haven't talked to lately: I love you. we'll be fine. I LOVE YOU. I am waiting for you. I hope you are well. I love you.

another iceland fact

tourists are posting pictures from several different places in the country and tagging them with the name "gjaldskylda". they seem to be under the impression that it's the toponym of the beautiful waterfall/lava field/mountain/etc. they're visiting.

gjaldskylda means "you have to pay to park here" and it's on an unreasonable amount of signs

some people seem to think aotearoa new zealand is just fields and hills and grass. maybe some mountains. maybe a fjord or two. which is so fascinating to me because we have so many different biomes and landscapes it's bonkers.

[crabussy]

we have massive volcanic fields. we have native palm trees and mangroves up north. we have huge swaths of geothermal areas that have geysers and bubbling hot mud and multicoloured pools. we have dense temperate rainforests. we have fern trees that grow ridiculously tall. we have huge tussock grasslands. we have a freezing cold desert. we have huge black sand beaches. we have sand dunes that stretch for kilometres. I love you aotearoa. this isn't even all of it these are just a few examples man

[crabussy]

it's ridiculously beautiful and varied over here and yet when you say "new zealand", a lot of people imagine grass fields and sheep. which to be fair. we do also have. BUT STILL

[crabussy]

long story short: it's not all fields and sheep. p.s. yes those are people at the top of the sand dune in the last photo

#I have a suspicion that a lot of people think aotearoa is a lot smaller than it actually is #I think there's a tendency especially for europeans and east-coast americans to think of it as 'a small island off of australia' #which like #it's small compared to australia #but most countries are small compared to australia #aotearoa has a greater area than the entire united kingdom #it also spans about 15° of latitude #which is 50% more than england #and also more than any US state except Alaska

"off of australia" is also a bit misleading; the distance looks small on a map, but that's because your brain is comparing it to the entire pacific ocean on the other side.

sydney (eastern coast of australia) to auckland (nz north island) is a three hour plane flight.

EXACTLY!!!!! we stretch from florida to new york if you put aotearoa on a map of the US. it's like saying "japan is a small island off the coast of china" to me

BIG!

would anybody else like to tell me how big the united states is. does anybody else want to let me know that the united states of america is big actually and takes a long time to drive around. <- being silly <- has heard it over a dozen times on this post alone and is a little tired because it's really truly not the point of the post

thinking about the time also with some former roommates where one of them half jokingly was like "man i love monday because the kitchen is always spotless because Story cleans it on sunday" and i was like "what are you talking about" and they were like "you deep clean the kitchen every sunday?" and i was like "? no i don't i have absolutely no idea what you mean."

we went back and forth for 30 seconds and it got awkward really fast because it turns out all my other roommates thought i just had a compulsive need or some sort of desire to deep clean the kitchen every sunday and they just left me to it.

when in reality i was meal prepping for the entire week every sunday and when i finished i cleaned up after myself obviously—wiped the counters down, scraped gunk off the stove, scrubbed the sink, and swept the floor.

took me 10 minutes but always left it looking great.

then i didn't use the kitchen the whole rest of the week because i'd just grab my prepped meals in the morning and go out for all-day fieldwork.

but apparently nobody else ever cleaned up after themselves at all when they cooked. like they'd just leave food on the stove and counters and drop shit on the floor etc. and not clean it up so they thought every monday morning the kitchen was "deep cleaned" simply bc there wasn't old food on every surface.

i was like, "...........i've noticed the kitchen is always messy when i use it on sundays but i've always figured someone just used it and didn't get around to cleaning it up yet and i didn't mind because i'm always about to make a mess anyway............y'all just use the kitchen like that all week?"

and one of the guys (very funny, i liked him) looked around and realized I was the only woman* (*closeted at the time) living there and he went "this is really bad, like, optics wise."

“Well if we hold presidents accountable for war crimes then Clinton and Obama would be in jail”

Awesome. There’s plenty of stuff those guys need to answer for.

“Well if we expose the Epstein List, that will ALSO affec-“

There is not a single name you could put up there that would make me not want that list made public. You could tell me Mr Rogers was on that list and I would still want it out there. You could tell me my own grandmother was on the list (may she rest in peace) and I would still want the list out there.

I think if there is a name you would rather protect instead of achieving justice then you have some very serious soul searching to do because that world is dying and you are about to be left behind or eaten by it.
