Can you hear the desperation?
Can you hear the scream?
Can you hear the hysteria?

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are walking. Blue listens intently as Green goes on talking as he talks, leading the way.
Green: Once we get home, I'll read a book, weave two baskets, re-arrange the pantry, learn esperanto-

Blue interrupts Green, who turns to listen.
Blue: That's quite a list. Are you sure you're being completely realistic?

Green takes a momentary pause from being cartoonish, being now depicted as a painstakingly detailed and shaded painting of a fox, with fur texture, whiskers and all.
Extremely realistic Green: Of course.

Returning back to normal, Green keeps walking. Blue follows, looking at Green with suspicion.
Blue: How long did it take you to draw that gag?
Green: A lot longer than I am willing to admit.

🚨 Yesterday a lawsuit was filed to stop MT's 25-26 wolf hunting and trapping rules, which allow 558 wolves to be killed, the highest quota since 2011.

These rules are cruel and unethical and put an already at-risk population in danger.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are looking up at the same spot in the ceiling.
Green: Do we have a dead moth on the ceiling?
Blue: No. It's alive.

Green turns to look at Blue, whose eyes are still on the moth.
Green: It's what?
Blue: It sits in a different spot every morning.

Both of the foxes return to looking up at the moth.
Green: Should we do something about it?

Now Blue turns to look at Green, who keeps staring at the moth.
Blue: Make it pay rent?
Green: I think it flinched.

As Congress works to end the government shutdown, it’s crucial to remind your elected officials to pass clean spending bills.

The initial House bill, H.R. 4754, included harmful riders, including Section 128, which would remove protections for gray wolves in 44 states.

It’s not the sea that withdraws — it’s the world that quiets down.
When everything falls silent, there remains that fragile line between sky and earth — a breath hesitating between leaving and staying.

A serene forest scene in the Dandenong Ranges National Park. Tall, slender eucalyptus trees rise through the mist, their trunks glowing softly in the filtered morning light. Sunbeams stream diagonally through the canopy, illuminating delicate tree ferns in the lush undergrowth. The atmosphere is tranquil, cool, and ethereal.

MT lawmakers are suing to make it easier to kill wolves. Yes- you read that right.

Once again, wolves are being treated as targets instead of the vital, intelligent keystone species they are. Science and ethics must guide management. Wolves deserve better.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue looks curiously at a pie which Green has placed on a plate on the table, while Green looks at him with joy and pride.
Green: I have made a sidequest pie!

Blue listens patiently as Green goes on.
Green: Flour from the mill we visited once, mushrooms that we gathered with your mom, homegrown parsley and basil... Almost all ingredients were things we've made or gathered on adventures!

Both foxes turn back to look at the pie.
Blue: How does it taste?
Green: Bad.
