Nature's Vein

While this is not animal related, it's still a fun project that many of my followers may like to support!

I have finally launched my first Kickstarter for the production of mythical creature themed pride pins!

If successful, A small portion of the profits from this campaign will be donated to the Trevor Project for crisis intervention and su***de provention in LGBTQ+youth.

Please back and share with anyone who would be interested.

Mythic Pride- pins and stickers A collection of mythical creatures to support and represent all! Pins and stickers

Ok what kind of update do I do...
A lot has been happening and most of it.. not great, just par for the course.

So bad news first I guess...

I am clearly not meant to have a burrowing owl as a very few short weeks after we got the new little guy... A rat snake got into his indoor enclosure... Inside the house.... In two years at this property I haven't seen a single snake of any notable size (and, not surprisingly, have had a mouse problem on this property), I was even trying to get some in the chicken house where I am used to having them... But no sign of anything larger than an earth snake.
Until I came home one day... Doing my usual rounds caring for everyone... And no burrowing owl in his enclosure... But a very fat and large rat snake....

The sheer stupid poor luck of such an event... After all that has happened in the past 2 years... really had me very seriously considering just giving up everything, disappearing, and starting from scratch in another state or country.

But I'm not doing that, yet.

I am reducing my overall workload and rehoming and placing a few animals.

I am still intending to focus more on education and I am going to try and make time for creating some education videos as I continue to try and piece my life back together.

To that end, the good news?

I am returning to teaching and will be teaching at Guthrie high school as a biology teacher! I am mostly excited about it and I look forward to having students again.

Here's hoping that things will FINALLY start actually improving!
