Everybody Give A Lil' Clap

Thank you so much to my Patrons.

*releases a single angelic note*

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

so this has been sitting in my drafts for quite a while now because i’ve been scared to post it.

i made this short comic for a class back in april. it’s called “midnight phonecalls (but at 4am)” and it’s sort of about that depression that hits when it’s late at night and you don’t know why you’re alive. it’s also about running away, maybe. and worrying your friends. and phone anxiety. and a tree, 

i tried to split it up for legibility lmao let me know how that worked. and thanks for reading, if you did! 

I kinda lived half of 2023 (maybe more) like a drowning rat in a bucket but this year I'll live like a normal rat. outside of a bucket

okay, to the average person's credit, prairie dogs and marmots at least share a tribe: Marmotini. this tribe also includes chipmunks and other ground squirrels, including some wacky characters like the distinctly patterned Ictidomys family:

...and Sciurotamias, the rock squirrel* family!! rock on, little dude!!!!

✨️🐭✨️

now groundhogs, as we all know, are marmots (family Marmota), the family which shares its tribe's etymological root.

a prairie dog resembles a marmot (vaguely), but they have their own family!! and it's Cynomys!! Which is derived from Greek for dog mouse. you gotta admit, that thing is pretty dogmouse.

anyways, i'm trying to assess the subspecies of the guy from the meme. it's not the White-Tailed Prairie Dog, who has a nifty dark coloration on its face and stuff.

my guess would be... Black-Tailed? idk, someone smart and observant help. ok bye

(*not to be confused with the rock rats... they are entirely different guys)

just saw this clip and i think itd make a funny reaction image what do u think... does it have potential

WISDOM UPDATE

I need everyone to see this picture of a porcupine looking at stingrays in an aquarium

I'm being very brave today
