Pinniped pal. They/them.
Made a lampshade with little fish on it :) Both personal and work life have been a bit chaotic recently so I ran out of time to get exactly the right print (I'd seen one with seals), but dug out all my craft stash from the moving boxes. Lots more there than I remember!

Our coast is the home of very many western gulls. After the storms, our beaches get littered with critters and gulls come by and attempt to clean it all up

We see lots of people, rightly, condemn how ICE in America for waiting for people at immigration hearings to detain them, but we rarely hear about the fear so many people have of turning up to their reporting sessions in the UK with the Home Office and just being lifted then and there.

Winter is here! Hair Ice in a Midlothian woodland this morning. Formed on dead wood, mainly beech. Even found a group of Rosy Bonnets (Mycena rosea) looking after a little bit of it. #ExidiopsisEffusa #Fungi #Nature #Photography #Nikon

BEHOLD the GARgantuan Alligator Gar!!!

This is the largest Alligator Gar I’ve encountered; at over 7 feet 10 inches (240 cm) and approximately 55 inches in girth, its weight is estimated at 300 pounds (136 kg)!

A true river monster, among the largest caught, tagged and safely released! #GarWeek

They are a peculiar species that thrive in the arid plains. Telepathic and featureless, they often wear masks to facilitate interaction with humans, and scavenge gear from those who don’t survive the heat.

I'm the guy who decided to put a bunch of steam-filled pipes in every spaceship. Make 'em real brittle, I said. Have them violently spurt at the most inopportune moments.
