characters Thraten [northern mockingbird, they/he] and Hyacinth [Blanford's fox, they/them] painted into the cover art for "& Yet & Yet" by Do Make Say Think. the scene is a low-res hi-saturation photo of a room with wood paneling and wallpaper depicting a wide river surrounded by forest.

"Pablo the Little Red Fox," a UK kids' minishow about a family of foxes exploring a city. It's pretty adorable 💜

I remember growing up with a US dub with faked American accents that's mostly lost media now, but the full UK series is on YouTube.

this show is cute but i've gotta call out its bullshit...

bottom - screenshot of Pablo the Little Red Fox S1E35 showing the three fox cubs howling
top - google search "do foxes howl" AI summary "Yes, foxes can make sounds that resemble howling, but they are typically high-pitched screams and yelps, rather than the longer, deeper howls of wolves or coyotes."

solidarity with every other furry artist who had to start out giving adults the "look it's just easier than learning to draw human faces" excuse. we've been through it. 🤝
