This was so infuriating. When I do a Celtic knot I like to have one knot that runs through the whole thing, have it be geometrically correct, have line quality be perfect and minimize fill. But that wasn’t the goal.
I wanted multiple knots, fill patterns, and the level of line “it’s the thought that counts” consistency you could find in any random illuminated manuscript from the 8th century. I mostly failed at that last part. But oh well.
Maybe this is a rough draft?

I am from the internet. I’m here to help.

I see that is a single contributor group. I have some experience in that area.
That depends on what one considers to be a contribution. I may do the majority of the postings, but the others in the comments keep me going! 😇
I run c/Heathcliff. I am the majority poster, but, as you point out, there is a community of commenters that give it life.
…i will also updoot…
Didn’t know that was a thing. I generally avoid sports or even anything that smells of it like parody
I wish it would have been changed originally, for both the reason you gave, and also so as not to just replicate what most of us had just left at Reddit.
But it was already there when I got there and somewhat active with other posters at the time. I intended to just be a lurker, but then everyone stopped posting, and I didn’t want to see it die so early, and now here I am, fully invested.
I was part of the exodus from reddit two years ago when they disabled third party apps. I started posting my Heathcliff edits in a very much dead comic strips group here. The community bounced back to life. Then after 9 months the admin woke up and told me he would ban me if I kept it up. So I created my own group.
Jeez, that’s quite the reaction!
I think about branching out and doing all raptors, but this takes up enough time as it is.
I would love to be part of an all raptors group, but I can totally see how this takes out most of your time and the additional load would be overwhelming.
If there were others doing it, it wouldn’t be so bad, but with me covering all owls, that’s already 250 species to cover.
Doing this here got me to volunteer at the local wildlife rescue, and I even got to release an owl we treated at our house as a surprise for my wife, who got me into owls in the first place.
It makes me want to learn more about hawks and vultures that I’ll work with a little more than dozens of rare owls on isolated Pacific and Indian Ocean islands.
On the other hand, some of the higher ups at the clinic finally noticed all my owl knowledge at the last event we had, so we talked about me being the owl handler at one of our upcoming events.
I naturally want to hold and work closer with all our big birds though, so I’d like to start learning more specifics about them soon too.
If you enjoy owls in general, check the pinned posts and we are just wrapping up the preliminaries to starting the 3rd annual Owl of the Year bracket tournament. Upvote your favorites, see if they win, and repeat. Returning champion is the small but fierce Saw Whet.
