A Big Apple Feathursday

These collagraph prints by American artist, educator, and printer John Ross (1921-1917), made for the 1998 Birds of Manhattan, depict a few of the more common birds of that island against various architectural features of the city. It's sometimes easy to forget how biodiverse Manhattan is, particularly in bird life. Manhattan lies on the eastern route of the Atlantic flyway, so it receives many visitors as well as serving as a year-round residence for many species of birds.

The book, another donation form the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick, was conceived, designed, illustrated and printed in an edition of 40 copies by John Ross at his East Hampton, New York High Tide Press in collaboration with relief aid officer and Greek and Latin scholar Lloyd Jonnes, who wrote the text. The binding, with its inset painted relief of a Cardinal, is by James D. Marcantonio at his Hope Bindery in Providence, R.I. This book was selected for the 1998 “50 Books / 50 Covers” by the American Institute for Graphic Arts in New York.

I think Leo Valdez and Kuwei Yul Bo should meet. like just to see what happens. will they burn random things to the ground? will they become besties and then burn even more random things to the ground?

the crows texting

jesper: texts back within 3 minutes no matter the time of day, keysmashes, so many emojis, way too meme literate for his own good, VOICE NOTES

wylan: auto-caps but no punctuation because text-to-speech and he can't be bothered, snarky as FUCK

nina: types SO fast, best usage of emojis, caps lock fiend, always roasting people (especially kaz and jesper)

matthias: emojis used incorrectly, gif reactions to everything, individually checks in on people if he thinks nina roasted them too hard

inej: frequent heart emojis and :) emoticons, official chat lurker, almost never sends memes but when she does they're incredible, always responds "lol" to nina's roasts

kaz: auto-caps and proper punctuation because jesper told him it causes him physical pain to read. typing bubble appears for 30 seconds followed by just the word "K." originally refused to use emojis but started when he heard wylan offhandedly say how much he liked them since he can't read

kuwei: sooooo bad at responding, but when he does it's like 19 times in a row, uses the most random-ass emojis, the definition of chaotic neutral, is the only one who gets jesper's meme references 100% of the time

my only critique of mindflayers in bg3 is that they dont screech enough

[shameless-sol-apologist]

got vinyl on the brain disease after the last drawing and its got me thinking about gacha club story mode again. it feels like it was just a half hearted attempt at appeasing the old fans.

"oooh see we bought the rpg mechanics back! and we brought back the gacha summoner and vinyl city and the ultimate record! we even brought back your favorite characters phantom and... lytes brother!! now shut the fuck up about gacha world its never gonna get another fucking update"

and thats a shame cause some of the concepts are actually pretty interesting (vinyl as an antagonist couldve been so good if the writers actually cared) and a lot of the designs are unironically pretty cool

OK I'M SCHEDULING THIS JUST IN CASE I FORGET

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF TMNT TAKING OVER AND RUINING (/j) MY LIFE, YIPPEEEEEEEE

so one (1) year ago (8/24/23) my friend asked in our friend group if we were going to watch "tmnt: mutant mayhem" and when were we gonna go. I had pretty much no idea of what he was talking about and so i googled it. it looked familiar, i'd seen like half of two episodes of the 2012 version, but i had no idea there was anything else to it. however, in the back of my mind i believed to remember having seen something about it. so i looked it up. "autistic ninja turtle" (i kid you not, this is what i typed). and so i discovered donatello rise of the tmnt. he made me incredibly excited and i started watching copilations of him on youtube. it absorved me and i told my friends excitedly that i needed to watch this stupid ninja turtles movie. when i tell you i stimmed in the theatre during the whole thing i am not exaggerating (really, ask my friends lmao). And so i became more and more invested. i kept watching copilations. i saw the rise movie on netflix and i loved it. so much. So i kept watching more copilations. and video essays. and analysis. eventually i came around to finding a place to watch the rise show. and i loved it so much more. i kept looking for things to consume. facts to learn. theories to develop. fanart, aus, other iterations, comics, shorts, documentaries, everything. the old and the new. I still have a lot to learn. A lot to watch. A lot to create.

I'm pretty sure finding this franchise has been one of the best things that ever happened to me because of all the happiness and excitement and just- everything that it has brought me. I love these dumbasses so much and i wanna keep loving them for much, much longer. but this is the first milestone on the way.

So thank you all for putting up with my tmnt mental illness. it will not get better.

He needed to tell her... what?

That she was lovely and brave and better than anything he deserved. That he was twisted, crooked, wrong but not so broken that he couldn't pull himself together into some semblance of a man for her.
