Photo of a sketchbook page with two drawings: one depicts my OC Xepher sitting in some greenery, with violet colored flowers in the background, and the bottom picture is a cartoony bellflower in the same shade of violet.

A digital illustration of two Peking opera performers on stage wearing intricately detailed outfits. They delicately touch hands, their expressions soft. At the top is a pink banner that says "We've Always Been Here: a queer historical zine" and at the bottom is a red banner that says "2 days until launch!"

There are more unpleasant ways to deal with the rich. Taxation is the nicest and least brutal option.

Glacier the skunk is chowing down on an apple in her home at the Cincinnati Zoo.

Until 1993, Glacier would have been in Family Mustelidae with weasels & badgers.

But molecular evidence showed that her ancestors diverged 60 MYA, so she gets her own family: Mephitidae which means, roughly, "stinky."

As I get ready for another cozy weekend of Olympics watching, I'm seeing lots of chatter about ice quality for different sports. As a Minnesotan and a science journalist, just wanted to reshare this video about why ice temps matter!

It's hard to grasp how large this grouper is until you see it in comparison to the ship's toilet on the left.

This appears to be an Atlantic goliath grouper or 'itajara' (Epinephelus itajara). They can reach 800 lbs (350 kg) & 8 feet long (2.5 m)

Let's talk about these gentle giants.

A bipedal red fox paints a rainbow across the sky. They have a determined look on their face.

To the right of the rainbow are segments of text from newspaper articles about grim news for LGBTQIA+ folks, especially trans folks.

On the left, there are flowers on the ground, with butterflies flittering about. The discouraging words are illegible faint smudges.

Figure with messy black hair and simple robes delicately holds a cutting of a plant that looks like a white tree branch. They look up, mouth open, while blue sparks emanate from their eyes.

A watercolor painting depicting a gay wedding between an anthropomorphic boar knight, and an anthropomorphic bull farrier. Both animal-men have strong builds and the boar's fur is tinged with grey. They are exchanging cups (akin to the Two of Cups tarot card) and above them is an architectural border with a rainbow banner.

Two watercolor paintings beside each other. One, a whitetail deer in medieval garb, smelling a green carnation. He stands among reeds and tall water plants, with Corkscrew Willow branches winding in and out of his still velevety antlers above his head.
The other, an anthropomorphic black bear in monks robes, doing a gay little illumination of him and his secret deer bf having a clandestine meeting in the woods. The illustration is bordered by medieval-style vines in a rainbow gradient arching above him.

A large deer skull masked figure, dressed fine 1640-60s garments with slashed sleeves, ribbons, and cape, crouches before a young woman with pearls in her hair that match her fair dress. Blood pours out of the large figure's chest. Their dripping heart is delicately held in their ringed, cupped hands... offering to the woman. The caption along the bottom reads: Take it, please...I do not want it anymore.

A large deer skull masked figure, dressed fine 1640-60s garments with slashed sleeves, ribbons, and cape, crouches before a young woman with pearls in her hair that match her fair dress. Blood pours out of the large figure's chest. Their dripping heart is delicately held in their ringed, cupped hands... offering to the woman. The caption along the bottom reads: Take it, please...I do not want it anymore.

I wanted to love her, I truly did, for I cared for her so much but her love was too much for me. I treasured the time we spent together greatly, but I did not know how to match the affection she gave so easily to me. I did not know the mask I wore would attract such affec-tion. I did not know its smile would be perceived flirta-tious.
When the realization hit me, I wanted to run and
hide.
She deserves someone who could match her affec-tions. And that sadly could never be me. My smiling mask did not help me in my efforts to dissuade her from pursuing my affection. So, I told her to meet me in the garden, that I had something special to gift her.
She greeted me with a sweet smile and held out her hands ready to receive her gift. "I know this is what you want and I want you to have it," I told her. Then I dug my hands deep within my chest and offered her my heart. "Take it, please... I don't want it anymore. I know it's what you want, and with you, it will be safe so please... take it from me."

I know it's what you want, and with you, it will be safe so please... take it from me."

I thought I could go on without a heart, that was why I encouraged her to take my gift-despite her wary hands.
But I assured her all would be well, letting the lump of muscle and flesh rest heavy on her hands. Gifting my mind to someone who admired my intellect resulted in no issues, so of course I thought giving away my heart would be more or less the same.
If only I knew how wrong I was.
Without a head or heart to guide my actions, my body became aimless. My sense of self was lost. Soon I was a lumbering thing with flesh that began to stretch with a great yearning for what was missing. And that was how she found me.
From an ornate glass jar, she procured the still-beating thing and held it aloft. Instantly, my body stilled and my flesh leaned with intrigued. Through tears, she sniffed. " I kept it safe as promised, and I truly appreciate the sentiment of this gift, but it was never mine to take so...
Please, take it back... You need it far more than I."

digital illustration bathed in warm hues of orange, red, and ochre greens of two figures framed in delight border. The smallest figure dressed in a 16th century shirt and doublet holds a large dripping heart up to the larger who is crouched on their hands and knees, trying to hold back the tentacles bursting through the torn linen of his shirt from a his chest under a wide-sleeved doublet. More tentacles twist and arch from where a head would be above a mane of long wavy hair. Text at the bottom reads: Please, take it back...you need it for more than I.
