I can't imagine how much time it must take to carefully make all those fine brush strokes for the fur. The detail is incredible!

Also I'm pretty sure I got a hug from the bat who created these at EF
10/10 would hug again ^A^

Given that the US is a source of most of the fake news this is probably a good thing. EU countries need to take their cyber defences more seriously

This looks so cool! It looks like patterns in fluid flow, with turbulent flow in the top left and laminar in the bottom right. Obviously not the same thing exactly but it’s all governed by the same laws of mathematics!

Here's a small comic from last month featuring Sekdragon and Simon again, despite his size he's still a Sek.

In other words I've been having a huge art block as of recently due to stress caused by university and haven't been able to draw anything at all.. probably won't be for the coming months :(

Five panel comic featuring sek dragon and cat Simon
1: Sek sleeping on the ground with a pillow under him as Simon approaches
2: close up of Simon on his shoulder as sek groggily wakes up confused and looks over at him
3: Sek realises there's a cat on him and his eyes go wide open as Simon licks his paw.
4: Sek jumps up in fright, yelping, as Simon flies off him to the side
5: Sekvil stuck in the ceiling from the jump, asking if anyone can help him, to his dismay the cat meows back.

Fun fact! The Biblioteca Joanina is one of the oldest libraries in Portugal; founded in 1717, and is also considered one of the most beautiful in the world.
It also houses two colonies of BATS!
They live behind its shelves since at least the 18th century, to protect the books from insects.

Every night they cover the antique tables and furniture of the library with leather cloths, to protect them from bat droppings. Also each morning the library is cleaned and dusted before visitors come in.

I put out my first sécurité radio call for two unlit rowboats at night full of kids fighting against the current in the port. Crazy levels of child endangerment from the adults onboard!

A good way to fight fascists is to make them look silly, and you’ll never look as silly as someone in full riot gear retreating at the advance of a giant frog

"I Contain Multitudes"

This digitally painted piece honors coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our cities and the wilderness today.

The thread gives descriptions of all the extinct organisms shown in this piece (not to scale)

This digitally painted piece honors the survivor spirit of the coyote by tracing its lineage from the first cells of life to the animal trotting our landscapes today. Below the horizon, carefully chosen ancestors mark pivotal moments in adaptation, each contributing to the form and survivor we see today. Above the horizon, Coyote stands alert at the center, framed by both Denver’s skyline and a mountain backdrop, symbols of their ability to thrive in cities as well as wilderness. Embedded in the ground are the skulls and bones of carnivores whose lineages ended long ago, emphasizing Coyote’s persistence in contrast.

The death of the first amendment and freedom of the press. This kind of thing happens when populist power-hungry politicians are allowed to dominate the narrative with endless drivel and culture-war nonsense. Fight for what is right in politics wherever you are and hold those in power to account

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Hello! I’m Dendro. A bat who lives on a boat in New Zealand.

Soon to be Dr Dendro (hopefully), I study the fish of the sea, specifically how genes and hormones make them tick.

Feel free to say hi ^A^
