Hey I just got my first job from a connection I made on Bluesky, which is a connection I never would have made on Instagram. You can and should get off meta, it will be okay.

I’m sometimes struck to consider the profound impact bats have had on our imagination as a species. We slap bat wings on everything! On a lizard? Dragon! On a lion? Manticore! On a statue? Gargoyle! On a pig? Demon! On a man? Also demon! On a goth man? Vampire!

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

I'm seeing a lot of support for fired scientists and environmental professionals, which is great But a lot is phased is "just keep doing your important work," and I need you to know that these are early career people with student loans and no savings, and they need income for food and shelter.

I’m returning physical inking to my process for tattoos. It looks and feels better. Procreate is fantastic, but I learned to draw like this and I’m coming home to it. I’m working toward no stenciling at all, and all designs drawn directly in your skin. Just human hands in your artwork, nothing else.

I know everyone loves a little possum face, but have we considered: little bat face. (Not my photo and I’m not sure where it came from I’m sorry 😭)

As trans histories are actively being erased, it's important to remember those trans trailblazers that came before. One of the most iconic being the legend Marsha P. Johnson. Read more about Marsha, her legacy, and the origin of these images on FMA's blog! www.faulknermorgan.org/blog/2022/9/...

Burying Beatles for Valentine’s Day. These are bugs in LOVE. These insects mate in the corpses of small mammals on the forest floor. They work together to bury the body and lay eggs which they watch over until they pupate. I made art of them for the Bugs Need Hero’s podcast last fall :)

I’ve been having a hard time waking up in the morning, but on the flip side I’ve been having a hard time falling asleep at night. I’ve always been a morning guy, nighttime productivity is new to me. But I’ll take it.

You’re also just robbing yourself of the joy of thinking. Using your mind is good and fun actually. Practicing a skill is good and good for you.
