Listing my work accomplishments in the last year with *gestures widely* going on depresses me because what difference did I really make in the context of skyrocketing human suffering? Trying to focus on my little area of control but sheesh.

Beginning lifting is funny bc you progress pretty quickly and you’re like “ya I can lift that” and then one day it’s “woah I really can’t and what does that mean about me as a person” but then you realize it’s not that deep it’s just gym.
Anyway happy long weekend!

Oh boy Animorph discussion resurfaced some deep personal lore that I really thought I had suppressed (it’s not what you think!)
If you were an an Animorph, what would your battle morph be based on the animals you’d realistically be able to capture DNA of? For instance I would book an animal encounter at the Bronx zoo so that I could get cheetah and rhino. And then go to the Raptor trust and to capture a Golden Eagle DNA
I did flipbooks for all of the Animorphs covers I did, but they appeared in black and white and very small, so I am posting them here so you can see them large and in color. No AI here--just Elastic Reality and painting. You can buy a signed print of this cover here:
