I'm an illustrator and creator of the webcomic lanternsofarcadia.com! It's a fantasy mystery where a scientist and a dragon team up to stop demons. I also do fantasy art of cute animals and space/nature themes. You can see my portfolio at spaceturtle.art

One of the major reasons why we have public land is for state/national parks or wildlife preserves to exist. Something truly priceless
Not to mention wildlife conservation being conducted on these lands

Congratulations: You’ve survived the first five years of an ongoing SARS2 pandemic.

This demand for moral clarity/purity in fiction (or perhaps art more broadly) and a belief that anything that strays from that or requires a lot of grey is tacitly supporting Something Bad/Regressive Politics
Seriously @PokemonTCG @PokemonTCGP it is not fun to open a game and be facing 4 EX cards when all you have is a 50HP basic. Please create a no-EX tier.
if pokemon could limit the number of ex cards in a deck in the beginner tier that would make tcg pocket a lot more enjoyable 😔

Honestly EX cards kept me from picking up the TCG again in the 2010s because they made the game so obviously pay to play. Pocket is free to play so it's better, but players with bad luck or low experience should still have a chance to enjoy the game.

But wait it gets weirder
Plants don't count all hours of cold. They only count when it's between ~32 & 45°F (0-7°C).
Above 45, it's not cold. Below 32, their tissues are frozen. The biomolecular clock can't count.
And that's why this map doesn't match the length of winter!
ALT The chill hours map from a couple tweets above. Map of the US. It has rainbow color-coded bands showing how many hours of cold each area can expect. It goes from 0-200 hours in peninsular Florida & the southern tip of Texas, up to green and teal in most of the US. The coastal Pacific Northwest edges into purple & pink because it's just....always cold there.

And every tree/bush has a built-in timer. It expects winter to last ___ hours. And once those hours have passed, winter's over and it's safe to bloom.
We call those hours CHILL HOURS.
Here's a map of chill hours in the US!

You would think that trees & bushes decide that winter's over because it gets warm.
FALSE
It's pretty common for there to be warm spells in late winter/early spring. And then it goes back below freezing.

If you want a cute animal in your house…just get a cat. They are literally so cute and you can feed them treats. Sometimes they sit on your shoulder and purr. There’s no need to bring wild animals inside. Sometimes you can even find a cat outside and bring them inside.

It took me so long to learn this. It is important that your story feel grounded and believable, but it is also a big mistake to let the real world get in the way of the fun. People aren't reading for a lesson or a simulation. They're reading to be entertained.

I want to see @KamalaHarris win red states no media is paying attention to. I want an historic landslide driven by women across the country turning out to the degree we’ve never seen before. I want it to be unmistakably clear that we are never living in a man’s world ever again.

The internet is no longer forever. You need to become your own archivist for whatever you are passionate about, because at some point this decade there is going to be a major purge and I strongly suspect >80% of global digital content will simply disappear.
Internet Archive has not been archiving since 10/8.
Google Cache has stopped caching.
The Alexa service - the one that used to rank web traffic (not the Amazon virtual assistant) is gone.
The ability of censors to memory-hole the internet is growing.
