I could stare at this album cover forever. It looks so cool. The album is 輪廻交響楽 by Geinoh Yamashirogumi, who apparently also made the Akira soundtrack.

My current list of all the bird species I’ve seen in my lifetime. It’s mostly in chronological order but the ones with the circled Xs are out of order ones.

Trying to identify whether I’m seeing a lesser scaup or a greater scaup is like the most annoyingly tedious game of spot the difference

I send a photo of this cool moth I saw on a discord server and the image corrupted, thus accidentally creating what looks like an album cover for some avant garde electronic EP.

Saw some cool animals today.

Some birds I saw today: 1: great blue heron 2: blue jay 3: swamp sparrow 4: black-capped chickadee Honourable mention to the grey catbird I saw but didn’t have the chance to film.

My first thought was this painting—Creacion de las Aves—by Remedios Varo of all things.

I should have listened to Black Midi earlier. This rocks. I can only describe the album “Hellfire” as The Mars Volta performing a jazzy soundtrack to a panic attack. It’s not particularly accessible to say the least, but I love it lol. I’m always a fan of dense, complex music.

It encourages misinformation and harmful attitudes towards important animals. And news headlines like these—which I see all the time—don’t help at all. And I’m not trying to guilt trip people, I myself have an irrational animal phobia. I’m just saying it shouldn’t be normalized.

I'd say he probably peaked at To Pimp A Butterfly, but then again his career is still going, so we'll see

I think the album cover for Eternity of Shaog by Esoctrilihum is really cool. It sounds as bizarre as the cover looks.

Here’s an obscure music recommendation: check out Guilherme Coutinho E O Grupo Stelo’s self-titled album from 1978. It’s really good. It’s like música popular brasileira mixed with jazz fusion or jazz pop. The song “As Feras” is my favourite. The album has a cool backstory too.

The Barbary lion photo is haunting. Probably the most gut-wrenching photo of an extinct animal in my opinion. I think it’s because of the way it’s dwarfed by the empty landscape and the visible footprints it’s leaving behind.

Big fan of this painting of Charles Fort at @CryptoLoren’s international cryptozoology museum

On my way to the international cryptozoology conference. By sheer coincidence, the hotel I stopped at on the way there is right by Lake Memphrémagog, alleged home to the lake monster named memphré.

I thought this was a mealybug at first glance. (Mealybugs are these guys btw. They’re truly the powdered doughnuts of the insect world.)
