Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.
lol. Live and let die in my pants. Ruin a song by adding "in my pants" to the title.

After watching the first episode of this season of Slow Horses, I'm dreaming of a show that actually does follow the daring adventures of transit authority operatives, fixing potholes and thinking about many kinds of vehicles. Rescuing pedestrians! Making protected bike lines! Reducing traffic!
Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.
Alaska Public Media@alaskapublic.org · 4w agoMeet Backpack, your 2026 Fat Bear Week champion. Backpack is 20 years old, weighs about 1,000 pounds and got his nickname because, as a cub, he loved riding on his mom's back across the Brooks River.

Starbucks is an easy boycott for folks who are serious about Buy Canadian, especially because of their labour practices. Support your local coffee shop! 🇨🇦☕️
Starbucks Workers United@sbworkersunited.org · 2mo agoIt would take Starbucks less than one day's sales to finalize contracts for over 12,000 baristas with the pay, staffing, and protections we deserve. Boycott Starbucks!

The Dragon Has Some Complaints by John Wiswell In this heartfelt and humorous fantasy from the Nebula-winning author of Someone You Can Build a Nest In, a dragon whose three heads bear rather…different...personalities finds family in the most unexpected of places.
Love this. For those who need context or alt text, the cartoon references a classic recurring skit on SCTV called the Great White North, but features Carney and Ford as hosts. ”Take off” means roughly “get lost” (or f—- off)

Just finished Obstetrix by @naomikritzer.bsky.social and highly recommend. Short and engrossing enough to read in a day; will stick with me for a long time. An ode to the resilience of older women and the joy of reading. Competency porn.
