Tenure means a university can’t fire you, even in dire financial straits. It can, however, get very creative about finding you a new “permanent” position elsewhere on campus. (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) 👨‍🏫➡️🪨
TF Art: Professor Scritch transforming from a human into a stone gargoyle. He crouches on a stone slab, his lower body already turned to stone, with a tail tucked between his legs and dragon-like haunches, legs, and feet. A stone wing is beginning to sprout from his back. He looks up in shock at his still-human arm as his hand hardens into a cold stone paw tipped with claws. One ear has already turned to stone, while the rest of his face remains flesh. He wears only his recognizable tie and glasses, which will soon be the last remnants of his former humanity.

TF pics depicting folks displaying wildly different degrees of enthusiasm for their transformations are among my favorites. I'd be overjoyed! The husband, not so much. (🎨 by discobiscotto). #TFTuesday #TFEveryday
Transformation Art: On the left, a character in academic attire has transformed into an overjoyed beagle, lying on the ground with a floppy ear and a wagging tail. On the right, another character, previously in a blue polo shirt and khakis, has become a ferret. He stands upright, looking anxiously at his own paws, displaying a mix of confusion and apprehension.

I know that for many folks the spring semester has just started, or is about to start, and I wanted to wish you all the doggone best! What class are you most excited about this semester? 📚🐶🎓

Okay, class, in science Occam’s Razor is a powerful principle: if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. Unless, of course, it’s your professor, mid-lecture, in the process of losing his humanity. QUACK?!? (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFTuesday
TF Sketch: Professor Scritch, mostly transformed from human to duck, stands in a pile of his clothes, a tie still hanging around his neck and his glasses balanced precariously on his beak. Only his hair and goatee remain human. He stands in front of his satchel, which is almost as tall as he is now that he has shrunken out of his clothes. Splashes of color appear across his body: yellow along his bill, green feathers on his face, and blue feathers along his wing. He looks back at his tail feathers in disbelief.

When you make a wish to be less of a nerdy academic and more of a “party animal,” but your wish goes horribly wrong... (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social, colored by me). #TFTuesday
Colored TF Sketch: Professor Scritch, dressed in a T-shirt and khakis, is in the middle of turning into a donkey-shaped piñata. He twists around to look at the streamers forming his new tail, while his stiff, blocky papier-mâché arms stick out in front of him as he starts to tip forward onto all fours. Colorful crepe paper has already wrapped over his neck and face, pushing them into a square little muzzle. One eye has turned into a flat, pasted-on circle; the other is still human, surrounded by the last scrap of real skin he has left, with a lone eyebrow and a small tuft of his hair hanging on. A few pieces of spilled candy lie on the floor near his feet.

When the train is delayed and you’re late to the first day of class, sometimes you have to make a few sacrifices (like losing your humanity) to meet students’ expectations! (🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFEveryday
TF Sketch: Professor Scritch is near the completion of his transformation from human to cheetah. His clothes have mostly torn away as he sprints on all fours, his satchel flying behind him. The transformation is nearly complete, with only his beard and human hair remaining. His expression is anxious and worried, and motion lines emphasize his speed.

Two years since the big move from Florida to the NYC area, and despite the challenges of 2025, it’s been a time of growth, gratitude, new friendships, and strengthened connections. Here’s to 2026! (🎨 by adabear-art.bsky.social)

It's the Never-Ending Lecture (Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah)
(🎨 by @artbyhornbuckle.bsky.social) #TFTuesday
TF Sketch: Professor Scritch is transforming from human into Falcor, the luckdragon from The NeverEnding Story. His clothes are mostly in tatters, except for the tie still hanging around his neck. Soft white fur covers most of his body, and large, fluffy ears hang down along the sides of his head. He looks back with a warm smile at his long body and sweeping tail.
