🦝 Pepper Raccoon: Trash Priestess 🦝

Yellow bird with black face and red eye, all puffed out and slightly damp.

Let me start a belated thread of Aotearoa New Zealand silvan birds.

To lead things off, a New Zealand Bellbird photographed on Kapiti Island.

I just hit YES on donating 28 native trees via Trees That Count, we've sold almost 100 of these tees :3! Total trees planted by Pepper Raccoon sales has passed the 300 mark.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

It’s a liminal space that honestly, despite having been there multiple times, I could not really point to on a map

He’s clearly left AF so idk I’ll take it

He can’t run, he can’t kick, he’s just a turd out there

Complaining about the lack of wagons available has become my Old Person Hill I Will Die on so this is nice to see!

its been like that with all of our produce for a very long time. Companies prioritise overseas profits to feeding locals, every single time. Plenty of yelling about it, never changes.

It's the weird pale yellow eggs that freak me out the most.

It's pale white and weirdly flavourless.

Considering how expensive our own butter is because we import it all to America (it's fucked, it's literally cheaper there than it is here), many people won't be able to afford to.

As a former American, I can tell you, American butter tastes absolutely horrific.

Buying US butter as a 'screw you' to fonterra, or buying NZ butter as a 'screw you' to the US...

So we get fucked waterways and heaps of methane emissions and WE DON'T EVEN GET OUR OWN BUTTER IN RETURN.

I have to check a website to see if my kids can swim in a river. Fuck this.

Not me crying bc I hate Nintendo’s prices so much that I can’t play Pokopia bc I refuse to pay for a Switch 2 😭

In an underwater scene, a sailfish, a mola, a mermaid whose flowing hair recalls marine algae, a dugong, and several golden trevally are grouped together in a vertically-oriented composition with some kelp against a black background. The illustration is drawn with intricate linework, with an emphasis on contours and varying line weight, and with areas of solid black ink.

Being able to do nice art things for free for good sorts because other people pay me decently is pretty much what it's all about, Charlie Brown.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Dessin représentant une femme (long cheveux noirs, visage rond, sourcils joints et petite buche rouge, dans un style de khatoon) qui pleure en levant les bras au ciel. Un oiseau de la paix (avec le symbole de la paix sur le dos) vole parmi les bombes qui pleuvent du ciel et les explosions. Il y a écrit "PRAY FOR MY PEOPLE" et "STOP WAR IN IRAN". Le dessin est entièrement en noir, blanc, rouge et vert.
