Did the scary thing once again (submitted an application for a promotion). Third time is the charm, right?

I say this in the kindest, most level way that I can: Freelance artists have to promote. If anyone complains about me reposting my own art, you will catch a block. If you bring it up in person, you might catch hands. We have to promote as best we can. Curate your damn feed if it bothers you.

As we are constantly reminded, Discord is not a viable substitute for forums. I'd like to point out that conversely, forums are not a viable substitute for Discord.

Collected three new species in the backyard today: a weird little fungus gnat with striped wings, a tiny parasitoid wasp, and a green lacewing I can't ID because it's part of a species complex that can only be separated by the tiny sounds they make.

My big goal for the weekend is to not spend it in a depressive haze of sleep and inactivity like I have for the last few weekends. I may not be very ambitious.

In 2023, I managed to slip out before the layoffs hit me, and landed a new role in 2 business days. In 2024, I managed to secure a new role in 31 days, leaving 3 weeks before those layoffs hit. Unfortunately, I couldn't keep dancing through the lightning strikes. I'm now looking for work.

It kind of sucks knowing that I'm not qualified for any entomology-related jobs despite having worked in the field for over 35 years and basing my education and hobbies around insects. I have no publications or "specializations" because I've been in government for 20 years, so I'm not a real one.

If you support ICE/Trump/GOP in any way, I hope all your meals taste like the aedeagus of a dung beetle. I also hope you hate my art and photos, since I don't create them to be enjoyed by morally and intellectually bereft assholes. You don't deserve them. Sorry not sorry.

Leave it to me to go out to the backyard for five minutes for a quick work break, during which I sweep the shrubbery for 30 seconds and find THREE leafhoppers species I've never see before. Sheesh!

My list of backyard insects has grown to 412 species as of this afternoon. I'm actually kind of amazed, especially knowing that there are likely at least a hundred more I haven't encountered yet!

I've worked with insects that live and breed in literal piles of shit, and they're infinitely more lovable and productive than any ICE "agent". Cleaner too. And much more photogenic.

Full disclosure: I have interacted with genAI precisely once, in a mandatory AI training course for work. We had to write a query for Copilot: I asked it a question for which I knew the answer and it made some shit up. I still feel dirty.

I'd love for this tweet to go viral and potentially give my life some stability. I'd take the bad with the good there. (But also we would share our success with those who worked on this and hopefully hire some unemployed peeps too.)
