メイドインアビス、クリーチャーのデザインや生態の設定は好きだし、グロ耐性はたぶんそこそこあるし、救いのない話や後味の悪い話も好きだし、ナナチは見た目も声もかわいいと思うけど、それ以外にちょっとどうしても受け付けない部分があってはまれなかったんだが、世の中には平気な人が多いんだなあという思いいや唐突に何って話ですが

Unfortunately this one can't be made into prints for blatant violence (my work usually skirts it; not today), but I can likely get them made elsewhere if there's demand.

Did you know lionesses will sometimes take out their males when the pride is under intense pressure? That's pretty cool. #art

Digital artwork with a square aspect ratio. It features six highly stylized lionesses in a pride circling a slain male lion. The male is shown from top-down view while the females are shown from a side view. The lionesses have mandala patterns in their fur. The dead male lion appears skinny and old. The style is similar to a vintage print on textured paper. The color themes are gold and red. The bottom right contains the artist's signature and the the word "yong-gi" which is a Korean word for courage.

2013年から生存が確認されてない、そもそも野生個体の動画が撮影されたことがないサオラのこんなクリアな映像があるわけないから明らかに生成AIなんだけど（どうも90年代に現地で短期間飼育された個体の写真や映像を食わせてつくったっぽい）、技術が進歩して絶滅種・絶滅危惧種のそれっぽい映像がいくらでもつくれるようになったとして、保全にプラスになるとは思えないねえ

I don’t have kids, I don’t want kids, I don’t particularly enjoy being around kids. But let me be very clear and as unambiguous as possible: I STILL WANT MY TAXES AND SPARE GOING TO FEED KIDS, YES, 100%, YES.

🌈Dr. Franken Frizzle 🎃 @swilua.bsky.social · 5d

Let me go on the record: as much money I have, whatever I can spare, I will ALWAYS want the extra to go to feed children

Flat illustration from 2022 of owls perched on a branch at night against a dark blue sky. The owls decrease in size as they get close stacked in front, while also growing bright orange. The effect resembles a flame. The owls, back to front (large to small) are Great Gray, Great Horned, Long-eared, Screech, and Saw-whet.

I was trying to photograph Groove-billed Anis this morning, but I was photobombed by his scofflaw.

A tapir resting in green grass with two small black birds nearby—one perched on its back and the other on the ground in front.

Goth band album cover.

Groove-billed Anis are fabulous birds. A type of cuckoo, this species lives in social groups of up to 10 birds and they collectively guard their territory and even share a nest together!

These birds were taking a break today at @tapirvalley.bsky.social to groom each other.

Five black birds perch closely together on a branch, their glossy feathers and long tails standing out against a blurred green forest background.

When I posted this many folks said this likely isn't an injury, it's just something they do to stay warm, and OMG today over 100 sanderlings flew in right next to me and almost all of them were hopping on one foot. See thread for more 😭🪶
