Urgent- Commissions!
Hey friends! I've been a bit quiet recently; things have been pretty hectic as I'm preparing for a chimpanzee care and conservation internship in Sierra Leone. I'll be leaving in a few days and I'm equal parts crazy nervous and crazy excited! This will mean, however, that for the next three months, my only source of income will be what I can earn doing art commissions, so if you're thinking of asking me to draw some doggies for you, PLEASE don't hold back! My finances are going to be really tight, so being able to do a bit of commission work will make a massive difference to me.
Here are some details about my prices: https://www.deviantart.com/alleyhound/journal/Commissions-OPEN-and-Updated-556313884
And some examples of my work- I draw canine characters, and can draw your dog (or cat!) in a cartoony style-

if only there was some easy, free way to keep your cat from being bitten by a venomous snake. if only there was something the humans could have done. not one, not two, but three times this cat has had to go to the vet because he’s been bitten by a snake, and there’s nothing in the world that could stop this or prevent it from happening.
“we thought that this could be it for the wandering cat,” says his owner, less than twenty seconds into the video. “we’ll probably pay it again,” she says of the ten thousand dollar price tag that’s come with this animal’s repeated vet care for envenomation by a snake. tragic, that they have no option other than to let their cat go outside by himself.
if only there was some way to keep the cat out of danger. if only there was a way to keep that domesticated animal away from native wildlife. if only there was some way to maybe… i dunno, let him out on some kind of harness device with… supervision? or maybe just play with him indoors? or perhaps build some kind of enclosure- something like a cat patio? no, that’s impossible. far too advanced. this is the only way.
alas, we will never have that technology.

I’m just about giving up. Life is trash. I’m useless and I’m drowning.

You know what's underrated? Pigeons. Especially since everyone thinks they're annoying and ugly when Southern crowned pigeons, speckled pigeons, AND NICOBAR PIGEONS exist
we don’t even need to get into fancy breeds here because this pigeon? the common street breed? has probably stolen your sandwich at some point?
FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.
and I’m completely serious. I love how they bounce around and fight the sparrows for fry bits. PIGEONS ARE GOOD AND FUN BIRDS.

tumblr is like wading through everyone else’s garbage until you find something good and go “ah. this is good” and take it and display it in your own garbage pile

common practices that need to stop
-outdoor cats
-exotic pet ownership ((servals, foxes, coyotes, monkeys, etc))
-vegan diets for carnivorous pets
-obese animals being seen as cute
-”cute” predator/prey interactions ((cats with rodents, snakes with small animals, etc))
-getting pets high
-intentionally putting animals into uncomfortable situations for the sake of it being funny or cute
Feel free to add more.

My family's dog was kept outside before we got him and he kept escaping our house at first, also he loved hunting cats and raccoons. Naturally we decided it was best to turn him loose outdoors since he clearly wanted to be outside and needed to exercise his natural hunting instincts. Oh no, wait, we improved our fences, kept him away from open doors, trained our animal, and gave him enrichment to stimulate his instincts that don't involve savaging local wildlife because we're not stupid.

sunspira replied to your post “Me: here’s this scientific study on how people that are for…”
as sort of an exception, my cat was born feral and gets noticeably depressed when forced to stay inside. For the sake of her welfare and quality of life I let her be outside as often as she wants. It might be a different story for born and bred domesticated cats but ones who are feral are going to be out there disrupting wildlife anyway. If you adopt a feral kitten I just feel it’s the right thing to make her life good while she’s alive
Nope. No exceptions! There are plenty of people who have cats that lived only outdoors and have adjusted to being indoor cats, it’s likely you’re not providing your cat with the stimulation it needs to be content inside.
If your cat insists on going outside still, then there are plenty ways to do so that don’t involve just throwing your cat out to free-roam and being an irresponsible and lazy pet owner.
You can secure your yard and make it cat escape proof, or build an outdoor cat enclosure, or you can easily leash train your cat and take it for walks.
Insisting your cat is an exception and that free-roaming is good for it, is incorrect and you are putting the life of your cat in danger, as well as the environment, other people and other pets.
There are no exceptions, only lazy pet owners.

I want more women to feel empowered to do this.
Scars from breast cancer can be both hard to hide and embarrassing for some women. I wish they weren’t, because scars mean you’re a fighter and a bad ass.
Women have told me after their mastectomy they felt self conscious about someone seeing their chest. My grandmother wore her false breast (she had only one boob removed) around even the house for a long time. (Of course, now when we were taking about the procedure she asked “want to see my boob?” And had to go fetch it from the other room. It was an interesting conversation to say the least.)
Anyway, breast reconstruction can be expensive, and some women either don’t want it or can’t have it done for various reasons.
But you know what, chest tattoos are easily accessible. There are even tattoo shops that give discounts to women covering up breast cancer scars. And women who no longer have a nipple? You can get a bad ass tattoo
Check out
Their site starts like this:
They host pink day:
Check out some of the work on their site:
You can donate to the organization, or if you know a tattoo artist you can let them know they accept volunteers to be a part of their community of artists.
Here is another badass lady and her bad ass tattoo (found on pinterest)
