It’s so heartbreaking that the Great Barrier Reef, the largest living thing on earth can turn into this in one year…
It’s not too late! You can make a difference by purchasing a cute ocean wave ring here. Our mission is to save the environment and 20% of proceeds are pledged towards the Coral Reef Alliance
My heart breaks knowing this much beauty is being lost day by day
If I die, I die with a mouthful of fried chicken and no regrets
Because the post doesn’t really explain, as a heads up the tick in question is the lone star tick. It’s a brown red tick with an iconic white dot on its back. Much bigger than a deer tick, it’s easier to spot but the above is true! A bite from a contaminated lone star tick can make you allergic to RED MEAT, so poultry and fish you’d still be good on.
Have fun this tick season folks and remember to always always wear tick repellent if you’re going off the sidewalk into leaf litter or tall grass. Lyme disease isn’t any better at all and is more prevalent. Ticks are not fun!
❤ LOOK AFTER YOURSELVES! ❤

i’ve had a couple screwdrivers and i want to talk about colors for a sec. so, a tip from your mom.
the tip: don’t use black and white for your shading and highlighting.
(pls forgive the quick doodle for the purpose of an example) one of these is clearly softer and more vibrant. it can play up your palette choices, even if they’re not that exciting by themselves- but pink or brown shading makes everything look really nice.
how bout this one?
black and white values for your art won’t completely ruin it. but there’s way more you can be doing with it. low opacity black to shade an art piece is a lil bit boring. it doesn’t make any of your colors stand out, it doesn’t take much creativity on your part. won’t stretch the muscles.
HOWEVER, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t ever use black as shading. but to work it at its best, you have to actually use black. the purpose?
contrast! it’s great for drama. black shading is used for sharp graphic styles- you’ve seen it in a lot of comics before. it commands attention for a serious situation. imo, black should be used as its full self, or not at all. low opacity black just looks gross and boring. it’s way more fun to use other colors, i promise!
