🔋🐝💾Hello! Im lee. I make: zines about electronics, fancy alligator clips, hardware stickers, and custom fidget rings. You may remember me from organizing such conferences as @oshwassociation.bsky.social, @dinacon.bsky.social and more. I run a lil non profit called Radio Snack and am an artist.

I wrote a little comic about #opensource hardware and serviceberry foraging! I'll post all the panels here, but you can also read the whole thing on @archive.org : dinalab.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?...

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

The "service" includes settings for hiding certain types of content, warning you that the skeet contains such content before you see it, or simply turning off the filter. If you've never been here before, you'll find things like "rude" or "threats" are set to "Hide".

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

I was going to do gardening today and not photography, but the shovel exposed this little incipient Pheidole lamia ant colony and I had to get a shot.

About 15 years ago, a relative gave me $500 and said "this is so you can put a down payment on a house" That's what the conservation funding world feels like We appreciate the money It's a lot of money But it's 100x too small to achieve the impact you're asking

@wellreadpanda.bsky.social put together our new version of the Mothbox today for the Smithsonian bat lab.

I'm sick of being gaslit about "globalize the intifada." I never heard of it before Zohran started running! It's like you're telling me that "Surf Party USA" is anti-Semitic. You know what I knew was anti-Semitic? Throwing up a Nazi salute like Elon Musk www.jta.org/2025/11/05/i...

#1 SPICE!

posted this four months ago but tonight as buckaroos like mamdani sweep elections i will post again. hope this is sign to all establishment goofs that trotting to the center is not the move. protect the buckaroos who are in perilous circumstances and do not give an inch

We are making the mothbox to support different types of closures for different materials folks may have access to. Everything can be done with 1/4 in or m6 bolts, but you can also use reusable zip ties, but my fav is this new use of silicone pearls on a string technology.

Conservative Man Proudly Frightened Of Everything

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

This is the emotion I'm most happy about tonight, not just hope, but a spit in the face of the democrats who have made endless concessions to right-wing monsters under the idea that we have to settle for always a little bit lf fascism. Yay to all the nice people who won tonight!

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

We lost a Cheney but gained a Mamdani.

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

The guy gathered an amazing following, renewed hope in many, and people like the democrat "leader" @schumer.senate.gov won't even bother saying if they voted for Mamdani or the billionaire sexual assaulter that trump endorses.

Keep in mind that if Mamdani wins it's entirely in spite of the shitty Democratic party doing everything they could to stop that guy

It took me about three months to get here but... Here's a 🪶 for (nearly) every species of bird, with colors extracted from wikipedia descriptions. 10,151 species. #dataviz #birds #data

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

The Mothbox team is making waves⬇️ Team members Hubert Szczygieł and Brianna Johns recently started their PhDs exploring how open science tools like the Mothbox can improve biodiversity monitoring. Congratulations! Learn more about the Mothbox here: wildlabs.net/inventory/pr...

Make sure to check out our science & conservation policy symposium at the upcoming ESA meeting! We've got a great lineup of speakers focusing on new methods for insect biodiversity monitoring & how entomologists can engage w/ policymaking. Join us! @entsocamerica.bsky.social bit.ly/SysEBPolicyS...

We're very excited to be joined by speakers representing @floridamuseum.bsky.social, @dinalab.bsky.social, @xercessociety.bsky.social, @biologicaldiversity.org, & Lewis-Burke Associates! Hope you'll join us in Portland on Nov 11th!

Good documentation makes open hardware accessible, reusable & extensible. Join the next GOSH Community Call with Julien Colomb, who’ll share his new Hardware Documentation Guide & lead a discussion on documenting for collaboration & reuse. 🗓 Nov 20 · 12:00 UTC 🔗 us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Our meeting with the Open Science Shop's group of manufacturers went even better when @wellreadpanda.bsky.social shows up with sloth friends.

One last #openhardware certification for the last Open Hardware Month! It's a spooky device to summon all the bugs to you from the darkest forests! And now @oshwassociation.bsky.social certified as #opensource certification.oshwa.org/pa000004.html

The doctor came out while I was hanging out under the TV pointing at myself, and he looked at me confused. And i was like that's me. And the doctor was like, that's you? And i was like yeah. And he was then just like "ok." And we went to thr doctor visit. Was hilariously not interested.

Omg, went to the doctor today in Panama, and in the waiting room I noticed they had an Arduino on tv hooked up to a weird gizmo that kinda seemed familiar. I kept watching and then suddenly I was ON the TV, and, oh dear, what a weird life

We now have full documentation up for if you just want to make your self a super duper inexpensive Moth Light! Build your own #opensource Mothbeam! digital-naturalism-laboratories.github.io/Mothbox/docs...

If they want to be treated as a person, they can get rid of the money they are hoarding from us, until they have less than a billion (and still more money than a human can enjoy in several lifetimes.)

The world would be a whole lot better if folks just boycotted billionaires. Like, does the asshole have more than 1 billion? Don't talk to them, interact with them, consume their songs, hang on news about them. Make it cringey to even act like they are people.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Tired of all the slop? I built a browser extension called Slop Evader that only returns search results from before Nov 30, 2022 - the pre-ChatGPT internet. Sure, the info is a couple years old, but at least you know a human wrote it :) chromewebstore.google.com/detail/slop-...
