A tinamou is a type of flightless bird found in central america. Tinamou is also an adult human female who lives in California at the moment. I like history, archaeology, the outdoors, fashion, art, and games.

It's so heartening to see that, despite the school aggressively pushing AI onto all of us, literally every member of my cohort is adamant about not using it.

Looking for an *L.A. based* artist who (against all odds) has time for a poster gig before the end of the year.

It's for a science + art event.

We can offer $500 for the gig.

Dreadfully sorry about the timeline. Link a portfolio if you're interested, I'll delete this post when we found someone.

Love when a book has been copyright stricken from Internet Archive so that the only version available is a non-circulating copy from the archives of a fine art museum in a city a 3 hour drive from me.

Digital illustration of a lily of the valley against a hazy green, yellow, and pinkish orange background, but its flowers are all Mr. Saturns from the 1994 video game Earthbound / Mother 2. Each Mr. Saturn is a round whitish tan little creature with a large round nose and little round eyebrows. They each have a green stem on the top of their heads that attaches them to the plant instead of their usual black antenna, and little red leaves swirl around the stems and tie into little red bows. The lowest Mr Saturn has detached from the rest of the plant fully formed and is jumping down to a nearby leaf.

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

If that matters to you, nowโ€™s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

Three years ago, I found myself in LA at the Museum of Jurassic Technology, a strange and wonderful place. The museum needs support after a fire a few weeks ago.

To inspire you, here's the piece I wrote fresh from my encounter with its strange collections. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Why am I being bombarded with this "Christmas in July" stuff? It's not enough that we start seeing Xmas junk out for sale in October, we have to invade the height of summer as well? Will it never end?

My favorite, my vampire queen and her herd of pet bards. Her entrancement works better on some of them than others.

V:tDA is a game of tragic romance and chivalry. We definitely did not spend a session trying and failing to spot a messenger pigeon and harassing an NPC named Fancy Gil.

I love making shitty mspaint art of dumb things that happen in my Vampire: The Dark Ages campaign. I posted these on the bird site as the events were unfolding, but I wanted to share them here, too, so you get them all in one big lump.

Leaf blowers are among the worst inventions of humankind, outside of actual weapons.

I love it when I get a call from someone who's just like "Hello Miss MmmMm?" and I gotta fill in my last name for them. Like they just don't even try to pronounce it. Give it a shot, bro, I believe in you.

I made another awful little doll. This one's a keychain!

At a panel discussion at a convention. The moderator, Alegg, speaks into a microphone:

ALEGG: ...All right, now we'll do some Q+A. Anyone have a question for Herr Doktor?

(Sitting next to him is Wondermark's supervillain character, Herr Doktor.)

An audience member, Auddy, takes the mic to address the panel.

AUDDY: Not a question, more of a COMMENT... Your discussion about apples reminded me of the time I attended a CIDER-BATHING CAMP in--

DOKTOR (cutting him off): WAIT wait wait wait wait wait wait wait HOLD up

DOKTOR: THIS is time during which there are to be QUESTIONS and those questions are to be ANSWERED. If YOU wish to make a statement, then I, ze other party in this exchange, must provide ze QUESTION! These are ze RULES!

DOKTOR: HERE IS MY QUESTION FOR YOU! You heard Alegg announce "Now is ze time for questions" and interpreted that to MEAN "This is my chance to waste everyone's time by sharing my irrelevant opinion"! WHAT IS WRONG with you that you MADE that decision and then ACTED on it?
