Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

My cartoon for this week’s New Scientist magazine.

Just found out my facebook birding group is public because my cousin (a lawyer who is not into birds) casually said to me “saw you couldn’t identify a willet the other day… pretty embarrassing”

Years on the internet and somehow i still click on comments sections with the insanely optimistic idea that I'll learn something new instead of being subjected to the dumbest motherfuckers online typing like their sole purpose in life is to make me want to end mine

"Wow, what an interesting post! I want to see what sort of fascinating discourse is being generated by the idea posited by the original poster" <- Me, operating under levels of delusion yet unexplained by modern science

Decided to turn my birch dragon into a full line

PEEKABLINK ["Peek-A-Boo"- Blink] -Dragon/Grass -The Unblinking Pokemon -Ability: Unnerve/Keen Eye - Third Eye(HA)* -Dex: “This pokemon hides behind trees and rocks to watch other pokemons with its large, unblinking eye. Looking into its eye can be dangerous, as people has said that once eye contact has been made with one, breaking aways from its gaze can be very difficult, as if it has some kind of hypnotic power. Sometimes people that go missing on the woods has later been found trapped in a 'staring match' with one of this pokemon, unable to look away.“ -Moveset:     -Branch Poke     -Glare     -Hypnosis     -Mean Look

–>Evolves at lvl.35<–

PEEKABURL ["Peek-A-Boo"- Burl] -Dragon/Grass -The Burl Pokemon -Ability: Unnerve/Keen Eye - Third Eye(HA)* -Dex: “It sits next to large trees where it attaches to their roots, feeding from the tree's nutrients in order to gain enough strenght to evolve, it only moves to search for another tree once it has fed enough from the previous one. Due to its eyes and ears being covered by its wooden shell, this pokemon experiences a form of senssory depravation that its said to help awaken some dormant psychic abilities.“ -Moveset:     -Horn Leach     -Breaking Swipe     -Meditate     -Forest's curse

–>Evolves at lvl.65<–

PEEKABIRCH ["Peek-A-Boo"- Birch] -Dragon/Grass -The Watcher Pokemon -Ability: Unnerve/Keen Eye - Third Eye(HA)* -Dex: “This pokemon hides among the trees completely motionless for hours, watching pokemon and human pass by. They use their heavy tails and short but wide and strong legs to help keep their long necks straight, mimicking tree trunks. By being motionless all day, while watching in a meditative state this pokemon has awakened a certain level of psychic powers in them, they can read the toughts of those who pass near them and what once were mere body markings now can be used to watch and feel their surrounding, this power often shows through a low glow along the markings in its body“ -Moveset:     -Wood Hammer     -Dragon Hammer     -Extrasenssory     -Miracle Eye

*Powers up Psychic-type moves

This pokemon are based on Birch trees and their markings that resemble eyes

PEEKABURL is based on a tree burl, a type of wooden growth on the side of trees

The third Harpy from the flock that flies among the stars has landed! She is probably going to be the last of this particular set, but of course not the last Harpy I will ever draw, I love them too much!

New dragon info cards are in and so glad these updated little friendos have sum 2D art to match.
