Post-it note drawing of a cartoony pigeon with an extremely long neck and googly eyes. Its neck is tied in a very neat knot.

This is RAD. Another result of changing climates is population overlap and hybridization. I’ve always wanted to see a Steller’s jay x blue jay hybrid. Now I need to add this to the birdy bucket list!

Three stylized rat views, shown as watercolour blobs with rat features drawn over them in ink. The three views are facing the viewer, standing and looking away from the viewer, and flattened like a pancake.

Post summer holiday feels.
Stone carving of a lion. Hanging from it's mouth is a small black sign with white writing. It reads, I may look fierce but I'm very old and fragile. Thank you for not climbing on me.

Doggust 28: Energy. I've seen the term "golden retriever energy" used a lot to describe people, and I am here today to propose some new potential comparison energies.
#doggust #doggust2025
An orange and cream shiba with a green collar is pulling back on a leash with their full strength. Their paws are leaving grey drag marks, and their neck is scronched up. They have a disgruntled look on their face, like they're prepared to do this for hours. A tiny little orange pomeranian orb is smiling happily while running, slightly blurry. They're leaving an elaborate blue trail of loops, to convey their general enthusiasm. A grey husky sitting in a triangular shape, with their mouth wide open and eyes closed. The background is bright red, and their tail is spiky. It is implied that they are making an unearthly shriek. A little brown, black, and grey beagle is wagging their tail and smiling maniacally while barking. There are many orange lines indicating noise, and the work "bark" written several times above them in grey.

POV: You're a Dung Beetle
Panel 1: In a bug classroom, a praying mantis teacher points at a board sketch of Sisyphus rolling a boulder and says, “So, Sisyphus was doomed to roll the rock up the hill for all eternity.” Panel 2: A dung beetle student beams and says, “That sounds wonderful,” while a butterfly next to him listens. Panel 3: The butterfly replies, “It’s actually horrible.” Panel 4: The dung beetle still beams and says, “Ok. It’s horrible.”
