A truly great idea. 10,000 ethical assets freely available. There’s no excuse for resorting to so-called AI with this and the *many* other assets you can use without resorting to laundered plagiarism. Support real artists, not con artists.

I've done the monthly art prompt "challenges", I've tried the #100daysproject, all useful if you need just the little reminder that making stuff is a fun and useful part of your day. Once of these I saw had blank weekends, I thought that was perfect, two catch-up days or just rest days every week!

I really like Hank Green, but he is spreading AI grifter lies and it's really disappointing.

I just think it would be neat if turkeys used the same technique to draw us

Every year around Thanksgiving, I see tons of grad students post heartbreaking messages on social media about how their loved ones don’t understand or support their decision to study what seems like something pointless or silly. Perhaps my American Scientist essay can help! 🧪🌎🦑 #SciComm

I put this up for sale early cause I came back to like a zillion notifications and I have no job right now, buy my comic! It's made by a human who loves making comics out of spite, this is the second in my unofficial spite series. The first was a comic about learning to write HTML to spite one guy.

Big news: I’m writing a book!! I’ll be writing & illustrating a beginner’s guide to appreciating wildlife in cities/suburbs, & how all of us can make our neighborhoods better for those animals. Thank you to my book agent @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social & the folks at Storey for believing in this book!

This starts at Noon! Join us for the seminar "Weaving Science into Philly Neighborhoods" with @sarahmackattack.bsky.social and/or the Science Zine Making Workshop at 1:30! See you soon!

BTW if you are a conference organizer and want to see this kind of thing at your conference (and have funding to support the artists!!!) feel free to reach out to me. Especially if your conference is in driving distance of Philadelphia, but even if it's not, I'm down to collaborate!

I’m also looking for 10-15 volunteers to host seed distribution stations across the city. This involves hanging posters with clips on the bottom (that I’ll give you) & keeping the poster stocked with packets of seeds as people take them. Volunteer to be a host here docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

This is the greatest news! Celebrating for nature, for the fish, and most of all for the Klamath tribes, whose way of life and relationship with their land has been restored after more than 100 years.

Nothing is yours. It is to use. It is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.

in the early 2000s Rebecca took the time to chat over IRC with a teenaged and gender-confused Me on the practicalities of transition - in a time where being out as trans online was something that could get you socially ostracized. I owe her a lot for that and only hope I can pay it forward.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Libraries purchase books. When you see a book at the library, it isn’t “free” the library bought it. which in turn means that the community bought it. In other words, library books are not lost sales for authors and publishers; they’re positive sales. Active sales. Those are bought.

When you go to buy from an individual creator this season please remember the price at checkout (in person or online) is not what they will see reflected in their account Fees, immediate taxes, and future taxes cut what they would make often in half We price for that, so please be understanding!

Hey any STEAM Education folks on here? I was just chatting with someone looking for where the community went to after leaving other web sites. Any good lists or hashtags I should check out?

It's a dark time for artists. Many are struggling! It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer. This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop! Artists! Drop your shop links! & check out SquidFacts.net 😘

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Hopefully you’ve all read this excellent piece by Peter Coviello, about why you should never talk to the New York Times, or in general any media with a preconceived agenda. But also see his “Is there God after Prince?”, written just after Prince’s passing… lareviewofbooks.org/article/is-t...
