Hello new followers! My name is Rosy & I am a disabled multimedia artist & creative writer formally trained as a traditional animator at CapU! I'm an AuDHD tree hugger who can have some Opinions (sorry) & I try to advocate for wildlife, particularly wolves. I post a lot of pictures of my cats!
Keplar, my youngest cat child, a shorthaired dark blue tuxedo kitty with mischief in his heart. He lounges on his cat tree beside a sunny window and looks sleepily content. Casper, my eldest cat child, an orange and white tabby fluff, being cuddly and sweet on his favourite cat tree perch beside the sun soaked window. The sun shines through his ears, making them look extra pink. A headshot of my favourite model horse that I have customized, Juno, with dry green grass behind her. Juno is a red leopard appaloosa (brown spots cover her white body,) with heterochromia (her one eye, the visible one, is half blue.) An illustration of the main characters of my graphic novel KNIFE EDGE, Larch the grey wolf and Sedge the coyote, howling upon a grassy, oxeye daisy-flowered hill overlooking a orange sunset over distant mountains!

I think it is important to note that there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having a different neurotype, such as Autism (ASD), ADHD, etc. Pathologizing someone with Autism potentially exacerbates existing harms they’re likely already struggling with. It leads to harmful labeling and stigma.

I gave a fuller explanation on Instagram a couple months back
Please stop drooling on your screens. The Koni Omega Rapid M. Kick your Mamiyas and Hasselblads and Pentaxes into a canal. Those cameras may have #swag, but they'll never have #class. Mamiya 7? thousands$$$ Koni Omega? hundred It's an overengineered contraption with removable film backs and everything takes an extra step or is located in a weird place. You advance the film by racking the handle on the back which sounds like a shotgun. It's like shooting medium format with a Bop It held by a reporter in Blade Runner. I love it so much I'm going to recalibrate the rangefinder

Vaccines save lives.

And no, they do not cause autism.

My first ever diorama base for a model that I have painted! 🥹❤️ The glittery rocks are real & natural - they are from the shores of a remote reservoir lake in the Canadian Rockies. Fake grass tufts plus yellow & purple flowers hopefully turn this base into a lovely mini meadow.❤️

Ever since I stupidly broke my nano Fluval Marine light one side of my tank has been in actinic shadow (where my fish have been hiding from imaginary seabirds,) while the other has been growing hair algae & cyanobacteria prolifically due to the freshwater light over it. WELL, I have ordered a new 💡!
My 125 gallon aquarium, Purrling Reef, half of which is in actinic blue shadow. Since my yellow watchman goby Clyde died last week, only my damselfish Lazuli hangs out there now, occasionally visited by Tangelo the sixline wrasse and presumably Ribbon the cleaner wrasse (as Lazuli's ich infection vanished overnight. Perhaps Ribbon wasn't taking a trauma nap the night of her adoption but actually enthusiastically nibbling Lazuli clean.) Hidden in vivid blue shadow: my idiot but beloved marine fish. Same as previous but with fish in different places.

After spending the first 24 years of my life spending nights under gold tier level night skies I can say I miss the sky more than anything else. I have many memories telling people out partying out in the desert to look up and see the sky for the first time and the awe on their faces
skwinnicki.bsky.social SK Winnicki, PhD 🏳️‍⚧️ @skwinnicki.bsky.social · 9d
Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"

guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation
Basic light pollution diagram showing four different streetlight set ups ranging from more light pollution on the left to less light pollution on the right. The most pollution option, labelled "very bad" is a street lamp with a round uncovered bulb on top, making a sphere of light in the air. The next option, labelled "bad" has a tiny cap on top, that limits the upward pollution a bit. The "better" option is mostly uncovered on top, limiting pollution above the streetlight. The final option, labelled "best" has a full shroud overtop, limiting the light to only below the streetlight, where it is needed for pedestrians and vehicles.

Condor, noble gelding steed of protagonist Karigan G'ladheon from Kristen Britain's fantastic Green Rider series.❤️ I might've made him slightly more handsome than he's supposed to be, since he's described as a leggy, gawky boy, but I remembered to draw some grass hanging out of his mouth. 😅
A flat colour illustration of a chestnut gelding cantering up to an unseen beloved human; grass is hanging from his mouth and he has a soft expression. The background is green.

I was so scared that she died last night that I didn't even announce that I got her but she reappeared this morning, sooo:

Meet Ribbon! She's a blue streak cleaner wrasse, & she's Purrling Reef's new doctor on staff. So far my existing six line wrasse Tangelo is ignoring her, which is a big relief!
A beautiful, slender little fish whose body is a pastel yellow at her head to pastel blue fade at her tail with a big black stripe on her side. This photo was when Ribbon was still brand new in her bag last night! Ribbon peering at her vast new reef digs. There should be tonnes of room for her to explore and hunt parasites! Ribbon takes a momentary rest in the bag. Ribbon is freee!!! And FAST; she is really hard to photograph so while she is miraculously relatively in focus in this shot, her surroundings of rockwork, cyanobacteria and marine snail shells are a blurr.

Do not interact with this trolling dingus. And block for good measure.
‪a screen shot of a Bluesky conversation between me and user “5000words” ‪ You make physical resin statues, how were they stealing your work to resell it? Did they break into your home and take it? Hundreds of people? They took my design, resculpted it, cast it and sold it. Also, it is very easy for someone to buy a sculpture and make their own duplicates to sell. So you are suing anyone who makes anything that looks remotely like the things you make? I bet you make more money settling out of court with struggling independent artists who can't afford a protracted legal battle than you make actually selling your art.

MORE good news: A Canadian bill is just about to receive Royal Assent (yes this is a thing) and soon, if your parent is a Canadian citizen who spent 1,095 days of physical presence in Canada before you were born, you will be a citizen regardless of where you were born and where you live.

May I offer you the hippo thread in this troubling time
nome.bsky.social Nome @nome.bsky.social · Mar 12
Additionally, hippos - despite being massive - have almost no fat on them. All of that impressive bulk is muscle.

2% body fat. Compare that to Elephants, which are around 8-10%, or rhinos, which are 10-20%.

The average human is around 20-40%, for reference.

They're *all* muscle.
A comparison, showing a hippo standing in shallow water, and a see-through model of a hippo with an extremely thin layer of subcutaneous fat and skin over a body that's thick with muscle.

That horrid moment when you smell some awful stench not of your own personal creation, & you abruptly comprehend that yes, your incessantly purring, happy bundle of fuzzy cat who's snuggled up all cute right up beside you really just deal out one potent silent but violent.😵‍💫
