It's Mathober! This post that will get updated throughout this month as I work on prompts.

I am doing a few things this month so I separated them by type (doodles, code, Desmos).

Doodles

I am going with fungus this year.

Day 1

A moon at 67 percent illumination sits above an ellipse outlined by coral fungus with slight shadow on a dark teal background. A small banana slug moves toward the ellipse of coral fungus with a little trail. Everything sits in a yellow frame with text below that says "a perimeter of a lunar ellipse integrated by coral fungus" written in a font made of slugs.

Day 1

A circle filled with a sketchy swirl like a marble with teal tones and a lighter S-swirl in the center.
