In the wake of all the lazy, soulless logo redesigns, valuing sterile simplicity over character, now I want to see logo redesigns that are just brazenly overzealous clusterfucks, like the logo equivalent to Devastator in Transformers.

Kind of incredible that I've had the opportunity to do two spreads for NSR (as unofficial zines) but excited if the opportunity ever arose where I got to do one more and complete the trifecta~

Happy 5th Anniversary No Straight Roads~

I flopped with a potential match on a dating site with a famous VA and only found out when I recognized who they were when I saw them announce their new game. :^)

People in Alligator Auschwitz describe the inhumane conditions in the concentration camp—insufficient water, scarce and unsanitary food, lack of medicine, denial of religious rights, etc.

“They're not respecting our human rights. We're human beings—we're not dogs. We're like rats in an experiment."

in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

The mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is to work with others to “conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people.”

The Department of the Interior is excited about the potential of “de-extinction” technology and how it may serve broader purposes beyond the recovery of lost species, including strengthening biodiversity protection efforts and helping endangered or at-risk species.

The Endangered Species List has become like the Hotel California: once a species enters, they never leave. In fact, 97 percent of species that are added to the endangered list remain there. This is because the status quo is focused on regulation more than innovation.

It’s time to fundamentally change how we think about species conservation. Going forward, we must celebrate removals from the endangered list - not additions. The only thing we’d like to see go extinct is the need for an endangered species list to exist. We need to continue improving recovery efforts to make that a reality, and the marvel of “de-extinction” technology can help forge a future where populations are never at risk.

Since the dawn of our nation, it has been innovation – not regulation – that has spawned American greatness. The revival of the Dire Wolf heralds the advent of a thrilling new era of scientific wonder, showcasing how the concept of “de-extinction” can serve as a bedrock for modern species conservation.

The Dire Wolf revival carries profound cultural significance as it embodies strength and courage that is deeply encoded within the DNA of American identity and tribal heritage.

Breakthroughs of this nature will inspire leading minds and future generations of innovators to chase the impossible, capture it, and unleash its potential!

The Department of the Interior looks forward to a vibrant future full of innovation that advances core missions such as wildlife conservation.

Attach tiny rockets on each javelin so they can make similar distances (also a hell of a lot more fun)
