I Love Birdwatchers They’re Like “I Just Saw My ALL TIME FAVORITE BIRD SPECIES! I’ve Always Dreamed

Hello! So, originally, this was a full fledged animated video. But due to a FUCKIN' glitch, I lost the whole thing. It was over 40 hours of work, but it is what it is. I hope you enjoy this quick animatic, although it doesn't catch exactly what I was going for, it's close.

Komodo dragons have iron-tipped teeth, new study shows

Komodo dragons, the world’s largest species of lizard, have iron-tipped teeth that help them to rip their prey apart, according to new research. The metal is concentrated in the cutting edge and tips of their curved, serrated teeth, staining them orange, scientists wrote in a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Komodo dragons are native to Indonesia and weigh around 80 kilograms (176 pounds) on average. They eat almost any kind of meat and are known as deadly predators...

I can whole heartily agree to this. You aren't alone on that. As something I dealt with myself, it's a horrible feeling. Just know your followers are there for you, as well as me.

I wish I had the entertaining ADHD that people think people with ADHD have and not the catastrophically fucking bad with deadlines ADHD that makes me scream internally while doing nothing

Does anyone else do this?

Hey guys let me tell you about advance fee scams

I hope y'all are familiar with these in this day and age, especially my artists out there, because they're incredibly common.

About half an hour ago I posted a drawing and tagged it #artists on tumblr, and very quickly received this comment.

My scam radar went off immediately, due to the generic blog name and lack of any emotion in the comment, but I decided it might be an entertaining venture so I dmed them. They asked for a drawing "of these", and sent me a random selfie. I got the details and told them it would be $15, and they promptly offered me $300. At this point I know it's a scam, but I play along for funsies and give them my paypal. Shortly, they send me this image for "confirmation" (I blocked out my email)

And they began to insist that I checked my email. I looked in my spam folder and found the following email.

This is fake. This is not a thing. And the "you're to refund the $200.00 back" is the scam. They send vaguely official-looking emails at you to "prove" that they sent you the money, then have you send them $200 (or however much the scam is for). Then, surprise surprise, you're out $200.

I continued to play along for a bit, and in the second email "Paypal" told me that I had to refund the $200 before they could "credit the $300 to my account", along with these lovely threats.

And yeah, it's silly. But it's not silly if you don't know and get scammed. So. Spread, please! And thank you very much to @mlaurel for the opportunity to get these screenshots.

Artists, how did you get to drawing digitally? I used to be good at drawing (though only from reference) but I can't draw for shit on a phone/tablet/laptop.

I've been thinking about going back into drawing again, I haven't for many years. Idk if I'd still be good. But if I am, I'd love to try my hand at some fanart

does anyone else feel me. can anyone hear me in here.
