Omg cute!! And this is great news! Your other two postcards are up there too. I was worried I’d have to find something else to stick in that spot, it’s just too perfect. (Also unrelated but I’m from Chatt LOL, I was so surprised to see the postmark on the package)

STOP 🛑 ✋ this is a WIP checkpoint! QRP with your current WIP!
I’m actually doing a creative thing these days that isn’t writing or music! Cross-stitching an otter pattern I got off Etsy, with help from mister Eiffel of course.

Turns out the very territorial blue jay couple that live outside my window did have a nest hidden somewhere! This bedraggled adolescent was in the little (protected) courtyard behind my house when I went out for a walk.

Lovely little wandering garter snake (Thamnophis elegans vagrans; one of three) found on a birding walk this morning! We also found an incredibly docile female bull snake that I didn’t get pics of because I was showing the group how to tell the sex of a snake 🐍

Your art is gorgeous, I’m so glad I discovered you through someone else on my feed! if I get lucky, this is my old OC Avery who I keep meaning to get new art of now that he’s jaded and bitter and has a vindictive assassin god sharing space in his head. (by @boaillustration.bsky.social!)

I’m finally reading Annihilation, and it’s a haunting and poignant read as both a biologist and a neurodivergent person with attachment issues lol.
Also my cat is enjoying it, although he’s a faster reader than I am.

He is so delighted that I’m back that he keeps following me around the house and flopping onto the ground by my feet and rolling over because he knows I can’t resist (I promise he does have ears, he was just in such bliss they’re hiding)

I need to buy the creators of the AllTrails app a fruit basket bc they have saved my butt multiple times when I get distracted on a hike and then suddenly have no idea where I am. Hiking album was 22, A Million by Bon Iver, which was a perfect vibe.
