graphic design is my passion
A picture of a sign posted on the exterior glass door of a butterfly house. It has text and a picture of a white king quail. It reads: Watch where you step! WARNING: RECKLESS QUAIL Our white button quail doesn't have good survival instincts & likes to be underfoot. Please keep an eye on the ground & don't step on her (or any of the butterflies).

Solidly the best things I’ve ever bought on facebook marketplace.
Facebook marketplace listing for “styrofoam horse heads, $20”. Picture shows two large, hand-carved horse heads- one white and one dark grey. Picture of the two large, hand-carved horse heads- one white and one dark grey- in front of a Subaru forester.

I found some converse on sale for $30 and decided it was the perfect opportunity to learn embroidery.

I’m still not used to it. But I’ll always keep Ambrose in his favorite place.
A selfie of me taken tonight with Ambrose’s ashes, which are kept in a filigree pink box. A picture of Ambrose and I cuddling, with his foot pressing against my face and his face tucked into my hair.

New place, new doormat.

It’s worth posting the whole thing because it’s one of the more bizarre posts I’ve seen.
We asked AI what its favorite animal in Montana is for 2024 and came up with this image...a hybrid of a bison and an elk. If we were to give this species a name, we might call it Elson or Biselk. AI is a controversial topic as contentious as, should we say it... no... yes, let's bring it up... understanding the difference between river right or river left. Does anyone really know? But one thing we can all agree on is Montana is one of the most spectacular states, and at Montana FWP, we recognize that people REALLY love the outdoors. From outdoor enthusiasts to hunters, there is a special place for all to enjoy. And we are honored to provide management and be the stewards of the lands we all love. So, as we turn to another year, we take a deep breath in and a deep breath out and give thanks to another year with exceptional employees and partners. We are glad that we all get to experience the real thing, with wild animals and wild places—Happy New Year from Montana FWP. #montanafwp

I cannot wait to see the backlash. I mean seriously, why are so many wildlife accounts using AI??
Screenshot from Montana FWP on Facebook. The caption reads "we asked Al what its favorite animal in Montana is for 2024 and came up with this image... a hy(see more)". The Al generated image is a shitty mix of an elk and a bison. Dismiss

If you’ve never had a stuffed animal hammock collapse while you’re sleeping directly under it, I recommend giving it a try.
Is it a terrifying and disorienting experience? Yes. But being smothered by stuffies is ridiculously soft and cozy and ultimately how I’d like to die.

We hosted a private event at the insectarium tonight and our wolf spider, Mrs. Wolfie, joined the festivities.

The great thing about working at an insectarium is that everyone can have a desk spider. Meet Tiss, my pantropical jumping spider, who we found in the butterfly house.
A photo of a jumping spider in a terrarium enclosure. He is on the front of the enclosure. A label on his enclosure states his name, “Tissist”. Photo of Tissist on wood in his enclosure. Tissist is a pantropical jumping spider, with large pedipalps that can be seen in this photo. Very cute.

When the hyperfixation hits.
Spotify wrapped screenshot showing “my top song” as 2 Bed, 2 Bath (and a Ghost) by Bug Hunter. I played it 120 times and am in the top 0.005% of listeners worldwide.
