an aging bellydancer (mid 40s) who lives up the side of the mountain and spends more time dancing in my garden than onstage.

When I was in the mammalian population survey team, we never got to do bat populations. I love bats.

It's a different type of love story.
so hard to find a decent exorcist these days :/
It's a rainy grey day. This week has been hell. I've read over 1000 pages of technical specs, I got a grand total of maybe 15 hour of sleep since Sunday (and 7 of those were Sunday night.) I've been fighting against self harm and suicidal ideation for months. I'm still in grief over Rob's death. My home is a mess. I have zero focus.
I'm a wreck.
And yet. As I listen to the rain and a blues guitarist- I this moment, I'm okay. I'll get through it like I always do.
Listening to the rain. Dancing everyday.
My role models.
Just a homely little mushroom living their best life.
It would be nice.

It’s Bat Week, and we have new bat research to share! 🦇 A recent study from Museum Research Associate Paul Velazco has described a new bat species from northwestern Peru—along with evidence that it was known to the pre-Incan Moche people more than 1,000 years ago. How can we tell? The Moche people crafted ceramics, many of which realistically portray local animals and plants, including Histiotus mochica.
This bat species has distinctively large ears connected by a large band of tissue—which were clearly depicted on a Moche vessel—and is the only member of the genus. Bats of this genus are medium-sized insectivores adapted to dry climates and can be found from the Pacific coast of Peru to the Atlantic coast of Brazil. This new addition increases the total number of bat species identified in Peru to 192, the third highest in the world. Velazco believes there are still many more to find.

I haven’t posted in a while because of a comic project but here are some sketches! Vroscaz recently adopted a cat who can dematerialize into a black mist. He often sits on his shoulders like a scarf. They’re best buds
Your Nazi, white supremisist, racist, misogynistic, modern interpretation of the Norse mythology, runes, religions, and people are not welcome here (or anywhere).
Seriously... like.. stop it.
The Joker’s violent attention-comedy bullshit would 100% just not work if his main opponent was John Constantine. Both because John is funnier than he is and just does NOT care. Joker would be bouncing around like “look at me, I’m so EEEEVILLLL” and John’s just bored because this isn’t even in the top ten evil things he’s seen this morning
Good lort. Do you want to learn how to control your stich length? Take up shashiko. It's just a running stitch, but you have to make sure that thry are all the same length and that the curve is equally divided.
My stitches are still too short.

Extroverts that take us poor introverts on as companions are the best.
