①③ - ‘Alae ‘ula (Hawaiian gallinule), which translates to “burnt forehead,” is an endangered subspecies of the Common gallinule found only in Hawai‘i (Kaua‘i, O‘ahu). Major threats include habitat loss, contamination, and unnatural predators such as feral dogs and cats. #avianaugust #birds #sciart

③ Hawai'i 'akepa - a small, endangered honeycreeper native to Hawai'i. They live high in the trees, and have been driven to elevations 5000'+ to escape mosquitos that carry deadly diseases like avian malaria. Habitat loss also threatens this bird. A rare sight irl! #avianaugust #birds #sciart

② Laysan Albatross – a near-threatened seabird that searches for food across the ocean. Due to pollution, they often mistake floating plastic for prey. This has had a devastating impact, especially at Pihemanu, which hosts over 70% of the global population. #avianaugust #birds #birdart #sciart

IT'S JUNETEENTH! There is still so much fucking work to do in this country to clean up the blood it was built on and so many reparations owed. One of the small ways we can help is actively seeking out, hiring, supporting and buying from Black artists. bsky.app/starter-pack...

I found The Funambulist in architecture school, but it’s for everyone. Architecture is always political. This magazine interrogates how space, power, and resistance intersect, feat. voices from around the world: activists, scholars, and people with lived experience of spatial injustice. <$3/mo.

"Historically, Nubian land was one continuous territory along the river. The borders that now divide us were imposed by colonizers, splitting Nubian land between Egypt and Sudan. This is a pattern seen across the world: Indigenous peoples divided by artificial borders."

'Pond water crowfoot.' (1895) Eero Järnefelt was christened Erik but Finnicised his name to Eero, just as his fellow artist Axel Gallén later renamed himself Akseli Gallen-Kallela. This work, painted near Koli in eastern Finland, shows a strong influence from Japanese prints.

Back in 2021, my partner and I designed 5 brass keycaps, my favorite being the double stair. We only sold one run of one of the keycaps, because we didn’t have the time or resources to really go for it, but it was such a fun experience. Zero lives on in hearts for now ⛅️

The orangutans and bonobos are the first two illustrations of a series on behavior and movement of animals in their environment. #SciArt More coming soon! :) For @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social
