Areal blast from the past, it’s Scare-Crow! An old D&D character I haven’t drawn since ‘10, a mischievous kenku beguiler. I based her design off of a rook because they’re a personal favorite corvid. She has a very Cheshire Cat habit of floating, laughing, and disappearing before the conversation is over.
China Miéville, on how to portray authentically alien intelligences:
"I don’t just think it’s difficult, I think it’s literally impossible. If you are a writer who happens to be a human, I think it’s definitionally beyond your ken to describe something truly inhuman, psychologically, something alien. However, that doesn’t mean there’s no point trying...I don’t think you can succeed, but I think you might just fail pretty wonderfully."

In the US, legal case names in federal civil forfeitures are formulated thus: "United States v. <item being seized>".

4) See if your aunts or uncles have any kids
5) Rest in the sun 'til your skin tightens, then carefully peel yourself to find the cousin within
It's Follow Friday! This week, we recommend following:
Ash of Outside - He never looks behind him! You can follow him through the woods, under bridges, and even into the damp hole he calls home and he won't notice. Follow away!
The Gelded Twins - Everyone who follows them ends up losing them in the Carnival of Silk. Maybe you'll be the first to dodge the silk-weavers and their cold eyes and find out where the Twins roost!
Yours Truly - Not a trap! You can follow me! I'll move slowly! You don't need a torch where we're going! Follow me! And when the air gets musky with spores, breathe deeply! It'll help with the following!
