Love this book by @kslivensky.bsky.social & @hsalyer.bsky.social!😍🐺📚💗🎉🌟

I am probably autistic. Undiagnosed. But probably.

I wrote This Wolf Was Different because I realized the first wolf to step toward domestication must have felt different from its peers, too.

If you know someone who needs to know being different can lead to wonderful things, consider this book.
Art spread from picture book This Wolf Was Different, written by Katie Slivensky and illustrated by Hannah Salyer. It is night, with dark ground and wolves silhouetted in black and blue, sleeping. One wolf sits upright looking at the sky, where she sees the outline of a wolf in the wind and stars, and stares at it wistfully. Text reads: And each night, she would think ot herself: I wish I was more like them. I wish I was like a real wolf.

Mother Nature is always creating art!💗 I see a polar bear face with its right front paw in front of its face.😊

5/7/5:
night tucks in its wings
and settles among the stars--
first glow of sunrise

short form:
night roosts
among the stars--
day stirs pink and gold

Please add a version if you feel like it.

It's #InternationalRockDay. Who knew Rock had a whole day just for them? 😄

More about Rock here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/I-Rock...

Jokes aside, it's the perfect time to post about your favorite rock. Go on. You know you want to. My favorite rock is BIF (Banded Iron Formation.) What's yours?

Here are a couple of the Monarch eggs I found today.😊 So exciting!💗 We’ve been raising Monarch butterflies for awhile now, but I’m thinking I might want to do things differently than I have in the past. (con’t)
