Ah I didn't make it clear, the tagged user is the author. I just didn't know if it'd change the link if I added 's after the name. Ken Liu is the author, there.
@kyliu99.bsky.social The Paper Menagerie breaks my heart again and again. The first time I read it, the mother's cultural loneliness made me ache at the thought of my mother ever feeling the same way because of me, and since then I've been invested in preventing that. I'm glad for the revelation.

Seriously, this story has a strange power over me. I wept the first time I read it (awkwardly in public), teared up whenever I described the story to others, and just now let myself read it fully again and yeah, now my face is wet. Be aware of how lonely you can make others feel with dismissiveness.

#webcomic I need help finding this webcomic about a cowgirlboy(?) who wakes up in a coffin, resurrected by witches for some reason. Travels with polite boy. I forgot the title, I think it started with an H. I tried to draw the characters as close as possible from memory.

A female Tropical Royal Flycatcher showing a bit of her crest for me today. After they catch a butterfly, they spend some time preening and they will often display a bit when they're floofing their feathers.

My god. I think this is the best thing I’ve ever read on the art of trying to get life down on paper. From Cannery Row by John Steinbeck.

Wanted to draw something without being perfectionist about it so I used the cheapest marker in my room. I've completely underestimated the Crayola marker, it was actually pretty nice to use.
