Maz Ka-Nakki's Castle

Yeah so tumblr has actually raised thousands of dollars for direct conservation actions to conserve the critically endangered pygmy raccoon. Some things funded include:

Necropsies

Veterinary care and lab tests for sick animals

Food for animals in rehab

Gas money to go rescue animals in trouble after hours when my partner doesn’t have access to the work van

A small plot of land to start building outdoor rehab enclosures on and potentially house long term residents

Vaccines

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

…relic…

🥵🥵🥵

HAPPY PRIDE! 🌈

GOSH, I LOVE ARROWS. Here is the cross stitch pattern I designed based on this delightful (and infamous!) image of Hawkeye. The pattern is 76x75 stitches, which on 14-count aida measures roughly 5.5"x5.5". I’ve listed the Anchor thread colours I used, but as the exact shades of Hawkeye’s costume vary for different artists, volumes, scans, etc., there’s a lot of leeway on which blue/purple/pink combination you choose. Please leave this blurb and the patterns links intact if reblogging, ta.
