Find a reaction gif or meme that speaks to you and draw it.
Jon Stewart is fun to draw.Also, try drawing hands, feet, trees, and insects.
I look forward to your future work; you’ve got a great start here!

Hemlock, henbane, poison ivy, khat, giant hogweed, poppy, stinging nettle, yew, rhododendron, and many other toxic plants can be found in a poison garden.
Why? In old times, to make medicine, probably. The difference between poison and medicine is often dosage/timing. These days it’s mainly for educational purposes. Gets folk into botany, helps prevent poisonings, teaches respect for nature.
As one would imagine, they require special care to maintain.

Emphasis is mine.“The real estate industry would like you to believe the problem is entirely one based on supply and demand,” and that regulations need to be changed to allow for the construction of more affordable housing, reads the report. But with 16 million vacant homes across the U.S.—28 for every unhoused person—“the reality is that the owners of concentrated wealth… are playing a more pronounced role in residential housing, thereby creating price inflation, distortions, and inefficiencies in the market.”
Take it easy! Balance will trickle down any day now. We just have to trust them to regulate themselves a little longer. They wouldn’t deliberately sabotage the market for profit, now would they?
No shame starting here:
If ever there was a lawn that needed converting to a poison garden, it’s this one.
That feeling when you realize the rodent you just ate made a last meal out of Amanita muscaria.

Another case where wetlands should have remained rather than trying to ‘reclaim’ them for homesteading.

Was the Tachi ejected to save MCRN? Or did it float out of a wreck?
