Spookiest decoration at the "Zoo Goes Boo" event at the John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids? Giant model of parasitoid wasps hatching from cocoons affixed to their caterpillar host.

Large model of a green caterpillar, the back of which is covered by dozens of white cocoons. Wasps can be seen emerging from some of the cocoons.

🥰🥰 “Organizers promised this year’s event would be "bigger, bolder and more proud than ever." Despite losing some corporate sponsors and county funding, they said the community rallied to keep the celebration alive.”

Love to see it since Pride has never been about corporations. I've been tired of corporate sponsors at Pride for awhile now. I don't need a corporation to sell my sexual orientation to me, just to drop support as soon as Pride is over. www.wesh.com/article/spac...

Who doesn't love a big pooltoy? >w<
Thank you @sabi.pink for commissioning me!

No money in the red kettles. Mutual aid instead.
(And no, I'm not taking questions about this.)

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Commission completed!
This was a commission from a friend of mine! Blue is my favorite color! I had a lot of fun making it!Too many of the same colors can sometimes make my eyes dizzy, but the final effect is beautiful!

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

Happy Autumn! I have opened preorders for a few autumn figures. These will be limited through October 15th. I also have glow in the dark Patch Cats that I will be adding in a few days.

A montage of 4 autumn/halloween themed figures. There is a skeletal dragon, a mimikyu with a pumpkin, an orange tabby cat with pumpkins, and a crow sitting atop a dragon skull.

If you’re grappling with traumatic loss, grief, uncertainty, or alienation, here’s an invitation to “Tending the Wild Root” by Alexandra Winteraven. She’s a somatic psychotherapist who works with death and destruction. She’ll guide you into the Underworld. #WitchSky

substack.com/@alexandrawi...

there’s no going back. you already know that.

and forward? nothing but fog. no map. no trailhead. just rubble, ache, and the faint pulse of something not-yet.

a lot of people are here right now. they followed the script, built a life inside empire’s scaffolding, and now it’s crumbling. what once rooted no longer holds. what once comforted now contracts.

and yet the next shape hasn’t arrived. and it won’t until we stop trying to resurrect the old one.

this isn’t failure. it’s what happens when an old shape can’t hold you anymore. when the old story stops working, and the new one hasn’t arrived.

what feels like being lost is actually your un/becoming.

how do you stay with yourself when nothing holds?

what if the map forward is made by how you walk it?

Remember when they tell you that women are too emotional to lead countries, the right wing is currently burning down the US because people occasionally put "they/them" in their email signatures
