Earth Day acknowledges scavengers.



I wanted to get better at drawing vultures. So I went to the Museum of Natural History to do so. Here are two pencil drawings of white-backed vultures.



The top one is a white-back. The bottom is a lappet-faced vulture. Both are drawn with a Micron. Oooooh!

In celebration of Earth Day, here's me giving an exhausted, shirtless, informal lecture about the Irish Potato Famine to a crowd of people.

(My blog just got awful.)

  4. this video is unbelievable. a crowd is cheering for an imbecile who has just told them nothing but crap.

    the irish potato famine was only possible because of the english reign over ireland - which forbid the irish people to eat their own wheat. they had to export it to england and europe. so they died. the famine was a product of imperialism, not one of monoculture.

    you say nothing about that fact. even worse, you seem to celebrate the death of a million human beings, proclaiming they were just too dumb and arrogant towards nature, and so nature killed them. you do that in some kind of carnival-speech. it's so disgusting. and why is that crowd cheering at the end? cynical assholes, one by one.
