Pan is a Krider's red-tailed hawk, a naturally occurring color variation noted for being very light to almost white. Wild red-tailed hawks come in an amazing variety of colors, from nearly black to bright white and a whole scale in between.

As an alum, I'm looking forward to hearing how my alma mater, which prides itself as a protector of free speech, is taking action on behalf of these students/fellow alums.

Boy it sure would be a shame if this US government form asking you to dox teachers using DEI in classrooms were to be filled with complete absolute garbage. Sure would suck if their database was rendered completely useless.

Why does a 38-year old U.S. Attorney in SDNY, who is also a die hard conservative, have more guts and integrity than the entirety of the GOP Senate Conference combined?!
Shame on the shameless sycophants and enablers there, who can’t find the spine to stand up to common MAGA bullies.

So pretty!
Baby Clown Coris (Coris aygula) are simply stunning. White is a rare color in fishes and the white/black/orange combination is simple and extremely beautiful at the same time. I've only ever seen one of these, in the Red Sea, need to come back to see more! #ichthyology

Life advice for the ages. Those doing wrong want you tired and hopeless. But stay angry. And when a chance is in front of you: bite back.
Digital plans for a real linocut. I'm anxiously awaiting a press to make this stuff possible with my RSI in my hands.

Terrific! What a cool project from @zoekellerart.bsky.social!
800+ drawings done! I just completed my four year ‘Commonly Observed Flora, Fauna and Fungi’ project by publishing all 50 state prints! I used iNaturalist to identify frequently spotted species in each state, rendered these species in pencil, and arranged the drawings into prints with species keys.
