I'm logging off indefinitely, dunno if/when I'll be back. I won't be checking DMs while I'm off so contact me by other methods if you need something.

Since my neighbors have been making my house shake the entire day long because they're having their roof power washed, I'm begging everyone to read the moss chapter in my book, Nature Obscura. You don't have to waste money and water and make your neighbors angry. You can let the moss grow!

Two more weeks of #完全変態 (holometabolism or complete pervert) are done, finishing off the month of May. The last two weeks include a pair of sea cucumbers who travel together once they meet and jellyfish who actually physically mate, unlike other jellies. #Invertebrates

I appreciate this spider diligently defending my mailbox from junk mail and bills. #Invertebrates

@whistberry.bsky.social I think I've seen your name too much on here, I just tried spelling 'wistful' as 'whistful' haha

They painted the curbs at my park, right over the moss, and I immediately wondered whether the tardigrades in the moss also ended up red. So I collected some. We'll find out later today once they soak for awhile!

It's just like snow

There was so much cottonwood fluff falling today it looked like it was snowing and it actually got up my nose.

I got a really fun delivery in the mail today from @rapidpunches.itch.io, thank you! I'm going to enjoy reading through all of these.

Reading outside usually means bug friends join me, like this teeny tiny mite. #Invertebrates

Good morning/aft/evening wherever you are bee-skees. It's my birthday soon. So here's a present for you! There'll be more later this week. I'm up to some SciArt shenanigans. If you'd like to get me something, please made a donation to Medical Aid for Palestinians at www.map.org.uk Thanks muchly 😘

@petrathepostdoc.bsky.social I saw this today, it looks like your swole cutiefly lol

Here are the last 3 weeks of #完全変態 (holometabolism or complete pervert). We have bees that find orchids so sexy they want to mate with them. Then we have sea hares who form mating chains and finally gender changing green spoonworms...

Just realized we're one away from the goal already 🥹🫶🏻 figmentpudding.itch.io/everything

I made a puzzle game that has nothing to do with the navy but you work with the viral posts you got store.steampowered.com/app/4429720/...

This is a goal I’ve been chasing for a few years and m so excited to announce that my Tidal Treasures pins are now available at Stocklist Goods and Gifts in Tacoma!!

Pop Goes the Water Bear: I've written a post about Sorochytrium milnesiophthora - a chytrid fungus that infects tardigrades, and how their water bear-slaying might actually be helping other microscopic animals that live on the surface of lichens. 🧪 dailyparasite.blogspot.com/2026/05/soro...

It is finished. 🎏🐙🎏 🐡🦑🐋

I dunno what's in my soil, but my red-twig dogwood is now nearly as tall as my house. I'm not complaining though because it feels like I'm living in a treehouse. And the bees are very happy.

For years we've had osprey nesting in Rainier Beach, but I noticed someone had removed their nest from a utility tower and I was upset, until today, when I saw that they've returned to the neighborhood and started building a new nest right over the high school!

I was waiting for the train and a pigeon walked over, looked at me, picked up a toothpick, looked at me again, then shook its head and threw the toothpick, looked at me one more time and walked away. I'm not sure if it was trying to threaten or impress me

Just and FYI if anyone hasn't had to use it before, but VitalChek is a massive scam. Many vital records agencies use it though. I started to request a doc from WA state, but once I saw the fees, a $25 doc ended up being almost $50, I abandoned the process. I was STILL charged $10.

Slowly making progress on this weird little project. Not entirely sure where it's going. (3d printed hoplitomeryx skull, painted, and with additional bits added) Kinda still #PaleoArt? Don't take my muscle attachments as gospel tho. #DarkArt

Working on some new things. Feels good to be painting again.

@restingdinoface.bsky.social I'm cleaning my bookshelves today and took the opportunity to fix your cover

When I was working on my first book, Nature Obscura, I wrote to David Attenborough to tell him how much he inspired me, which led to me writing that book and to thank him. I never expected a hand written letter in return. It's one of my greatest treasures. Happy 100th birthday, Sir David.

Please buy one of these bundles for @figmentpudding.com ! figmentpudding.itch.io If you do, let me know, and I will draw any character you want in the frog outfit of your choice!

今日はさんぽを行きました。今晩は日本語のクラスをいます。

If'n you wants to color any of the tarot cards, they're in here :3 And maybe I'll be getting back to that project

Late post, here's the #InverteFest April 2026 art book cover in full view. Species key to follow tomorrow when I'm less distracted, in the mean time feel free to guess the species lol. #Art #SciArt

I just realized my pass has expired but there's no chance in hell I'm getting the new one.

I searched my computer and found the 4gb file so I reluctantly uninstalled Chrome. I usually use Vivaldi, but my therapist's telehealth program doesn't work on Vivaldi. I guess I'll just use my tablet or phone for those appointments from now on.

子供の日!

In happier times this morning before a dog attacked me, I painted this シマエナガ, Japanese long-tailed tit. I rarely paint birds, but it's for a gift. Maybe I'll try more birds once in a while.

Find me all weekend at the Sierra Madre Art Fair at Sierra Madre Memorial Park! Snag my new Punch Nazis poster available for the first time!

I read an article in the Seattle Times about this weekend's upcoming sunny weather and how Seattleites would be out basking in the sun and I was like, have you ever met a Seattleite?? Today I attended an event in a park, big open sunny area and EVERY SINGLE blanket was set up in shade under a tree 😂
