This is true and they are super endangered by poachers who shovel them up by the hundreds and sell them at flea markets and shit. You should not buy the plants and if you happen to kick the poacher in the shins on accident, no one will hear about it from me.

still amazing to me the number of movies, games, etc. which have Venus Flytrap-based creatures in some form compared to the actual native range of Venus Flytrap, which is like, the great untamed jungles of a few wet pine savannas in North Carolina

#DVpit inspired me to reopen to queries sooner than I'd planned... Starting Nov 2025, I'll be open to unsolicited queries the first week of every month! Still just YA + MG fiction... Really hungry for 🤩 debut voices... You'll be able to submit here: querytracker.net/querybeth #mswl

Announcement:
I will reopen to unsolicited submissions for the first week of every month starting in November!
I’m only looking for YA + MG fiction. I am particularly hungry for debut voices! Also:
- high-stakes plots about liars, scams, etc
- fresh grounded dystopian with personal stakes
- smart, cutting social commentary
- meta shit and big twists
- multigenerational stories
- anything with a unique/risky approach or voice
- ugly underbellies!

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

A little something different on Monster October Day 10: ALIEN sketch cover.

I wanted to do white on black for a while. Having turned in all my pages for Pacific Rim gave rare moments of downtime to experiment.

Happy world squid and cuttlefish day!!

Text your friend a squid fact. Watch a video of a cuttlefish doing something cute.
Doodle a squid and then show it to me.

The world is cruel but squid are good.

A giant Australian cuddle fish swims up from the Moy seafloor and looks at the camera. She is red with w shaped curious pupils
