A nice older neighbor I know from the community garden gifted me a box of old sci-fi and fantasy novels - said he would rather them go to someone who would appreciate the collection than to have it be split up at a used bookstore. Genuinely the best gift I’ve ever gotten! What do I read first?

A lil collage from today

Caught the biggest flock of sandhill cranes I’ve ever seen flying over my head today. Hard to make out on video because they were so high above me, but you can definitely hear their call which helped me to ID them

Go see this movie! Go see it in theaters this week if you can. This is the best movie I’ve seen all year and it’s not like any movie you’ve seen before. Just- aaaaaaaaa just go watch it ok?

Some of my favorites from #inktober this year

I’m Abigail and I’m working on improving my art by creating something new for every day of 2024! I work in lots of different mediums but especially pencil and ink

Week 5 of#InsertAnInvert2024 is all about courtship, so naturally I had to do a peacock spider doing his lovely lil dance!

Now that I’ve been on bluesky for a few weeks, I figure I should post some of the pokemon terrariums that I make. Have you ever wondered how pokemon live when they’re inside a pokeball?

Mostly I make these for myself but I have managed to sell a few and do some commissions here and there

A very small #InsertAnInvert2024 sketch this week for a very small critter - an ant!

#InsertAnInvert2024 Week 3: Bugs under leaf litter. One of my childhood favorites, roly polies. I used to love playing with these lil guys at recess

My first 5-star book of the year: the Once and Future King by TH White

I knew very little about Arthurian legend going in, outside of the Lance-Gwen affair, and I absolutely devoured this like someone telling me all the latest gossip. Aglovale is my new favorite knight!

For week 2 of #InsertAnInvert2024 I drew a carolina tiger beetle

I know many carobids hide under rocks, and I couldn’t resist trying this one!
