Fox squirrel sitting on a rusted iron fence at the University of Michigan. The squirrel seems very content - I guess this is what happens when you cannot read the news.

Day 25: I feel like it's getting harder to decide on what to draw the closer we get to the end 😅 I realize a phoenix isn't the first thing you associate with an #inferno, but its fiery birth must be quite scorching 🔥 #Inktober #Inktober2025

Day 6: I kinda ran out of time today, so here is a quick spear, which of course in all manner of RPGs does piercing damage 🗡️ An #EldenRing geek might notice this is lightly based on the Guardian's Swordspear 😬 #Pierce #Inktober #Inktober2025

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

it’s Sunday on bluesky so I am urging everyone to take care of themselves. Take a walk, have a second cup of coffee or tea, read a book, spend some time looking at small poems

Tried a group study room for the first time with a friend. University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa #library #study Lots of light, angles and shapes.
A table with a hydroflask, mouse and mousepad in a room by a window with sunlight creating a triangle of light. Many reflections and rectangles in the pattern of the external building are also seen.
