@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialPlease have this tuatara photo, my favorite of the trip, in thanks
@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialThank you!! My goal was reached in 4 hours, doubled so within 24. What incredible kindness. Now I can get home without worrying. I’ll leave the goal up until I get home, just in case. Any extra contributions beyond what’s needed for the trip will go towards funding the site while I look for work.
@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialSaaaaame.
@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialThanks. They’re good people and being as up front as they can! But also no revenue means no money for freelancers.
@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialI just found out I’m losing my main source of income because AI search has nerfed the revenue of my main client. I am, also, 2000+ miles from home doing photography I expected to pay for with that income. If you can help, I’m hoping to raise $1000 to help cover trip costs & the drive back west.

@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialIt’s #dRAWRtober time!

@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialThis starts tomorrow!

@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialHalloween is creeping in on little cat feet, and with it, the first hints of an October art challenge…

The prompt list will be dropping /very/ soon.
@gravestoneghost.bsky.socialReposted by @animalphotorefs.bsky.sociali honestly dont remember if i posted this one before

@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialGood information to have, thank you!
@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialNot looked at it, but it is* yeeesh
@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialI have not looked at something I would be willing to consider, especially as we work towards rolling out a new more functional website. How would an RSS feed differ from something like a newsletter/mailing list?
@animalphotorefs.bsky.socialAnd last, my personal favorite, the zebra shark!
