I am late getting to this, but am going to jump right in starting with yesterday's prompt, because I love this stone so much.

My hand spread open with small terracotta pots on top of each finger. My grow light table and plants are in the background.

One of these days I'm going to finally cave and buy the Haunted Mozzarella Sticks Cat Toy on Chewy. One of these days.

A listing photo of plush cat toys in the shapes of mozzarella sticks, a bowl, and dipping sauce. They have spiders on them so are spooky.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

This is such a disservice to young children and teenagers. Governments have let us down, let children down, and society has looked the other way for the promise of "normalcy", whatever that means. Wisen up, mask up 😷

I found this rove beetle friend on the rainforest floor. They are so so fast, you can imaging me chasing it around with my camera just rolling around in the leaf litter. Just unbelievable colors. In person the rainbow iridescence is stunning. It’s hard to say much here beyond just wow.

Honestly though, a box inside a box would probably fix me. A third box for sure.

I've given this some thought and I actually think this is the single funniest way to fall to the floor that I've ever seen

the way it starts like he's doing lunges??? I'm literally weeping with laughter

Every cis man should have to wear a period simulator at least once for so many reasons, but definitely because it’s so fucking hilarious how low their pain tolerance is

I’m working on a stack of new comics and art zines but of course spontaneously started a new one in my sketchbook while I was vending over the weekend. Hold on to your panties everyone.

A sketchbook drawing of a very fancy lady saying: true facts about butts. She also holds a book that is titled: all about butts by an expert.
