I ordered silly new bumper stickers for Zenkaikon (happening this weekend!) and I wanted to show them off today... but my shipment delivery has been delayed til tomorrow. Here's hoping they make it in time. 🤞

Please call your Reps and tell them to vote NO on the SAVE ACT, HR 22/S 128. Five Calls has a good script: 5calls.org/issue/save-a...

Spent the morning in the ER due to debilitating leg pain. Culprit: a pinched nerve! Meanwhile, I have a convention next weekend (Zenkaikon). 🫠 So uh... gotta re-plan my display to make setup easier and not make all of my bins too heavy.

It's National American Paddlefish Day! A day to celebrate one of the most unusual & ancient fish still swimming in North American waters. Paddlefish relatives have lived on Earth for over 125 million years (before the dinosaurs!) Today, only 1 species remains. [ #art #fish ]

Artists who use computers and have a screen tablet ON your desk (cintiq/huion/xp pen style) AND an additional monitor… how are ya’ll laying out your desks?

Begrudgingly put my shop on maintenance mode for a bit. My shop has been the target of a bunch of scammers testing stolen credit cards in the last week. I have fraud protection apps installed that won't collect payment or will cancel immediately, but it's still tiresome.

Is... Throwback Thursday still a thing??? 😅😅 This one’s for kids who grew up on mall culture, towering toy aisles, and believing that adulthood was optional. [ #sticker #artshop #stickershop ]

I wanted to take some photos to show some newer designs, but it's already dark... so last-minute graphic it is. 😅 Please help me clear some space in my stock bins. Get your fins on some stickers before the sale ends in 6hrs! [ #stickers #artshop]

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

US friends - If your state has elections today, make sure to vote! Local elections matter so much more than most people realize - they help shape your community. You may not think your vote matters, but if everyone who thought that actually voted, we could make good, impactful changes!

If you live in Pennsylvania, we have a VERY important election coming up tomorrow! ✔️ I know folks are jaded about not feeling like your vote matters, but I'm here to tell you that if you only come out to vote for a president, it's already way too late. These elections are crucial, ESPECIALLY now.

It's #WorldBaskingSharkDay! Basking Sharks are the 2nd-largest shark species - and 1 of just 3 species with a diet consisting mostly of zooplankton. Despite being protected in many countries, these sharks are vulnerable to ship strikes, habitat loss, & climate change impacting their food supply.

🌊 We're going Up, Up, Up to the Surface You know the tide’s still calling Gonna be, gonna be silly! 🎃 Hope your night is filled with candy, costumes, and a little ocean magic. 🐯💙🦈

A little fishie told me that its International #GhostSharkDay! 💙 Despite their name, Ghost sharks aren’t actually sharks -- they're Chimaeras, which are close relatives of sharks & rays. Their family tree split off about 400m years ago! You can snag your very own lil ghost shark friend in my shop!

My husband and I went to a small aquarium today for my birthday. And i got to see so many fishes, sharks, and many other critters. I spent so much time at the ray exhibit, feeding some little rays! 😂 What a great day!

Life update: Our landlord sold the house we're living in, so we have to be out by Dec 1. 😭 GOOD NEWS: we bought a house!! 🏡💙 Not-so-great news: it's a fixer upper but it’s not ready/livable yet. So we’ll be in a [tiny] temp home for a few months while work finishes. Fins crossed it goes smoothly!

Shop Update is Live!! I still need to finish editing photos for stickers - but all the charms, acrylic pins, bumper stickers, and wooden magnets are up!

I ordered some shipping boxes and they just arrived… with sheets of smiley faces. This brought me a ridiculous amount of joy 😂 so if you order from my shop soon, expect one somewhere in your package.

It’s FINally time! The Tiny Treasures are coming to the shop - over 110 new friends! Sharks, chimaeras, fish, sea turtles, cetaceans, prehistoric sharks… just a bunch of lil guys! Plus: lots of other new goodies! ✨ Shop update goes live tomorrow at 1PM EST! [ #sharks #artshop ]

shop update is live! new shirt, stickers, sticker sheets, prints, pins, hat, and my first zine!! 🐸

Absolutely gutted by this news. The world lost a true beacon of hope today. 💚 She inspired so many of us who care about and fight for our planet.

>.> finally posting a wip of my leafy sea dragon project. This is my first cross stitch project~ Hopefully it’ll be finished by Halloween~ Pattern by @bytesizetreasure.bsky.social

Today is the last day of my first Aquashella - at booth 119 and will be here until 5pm! Sea you there!

To put it bluntly, this is a fucking disaster. For consumers, for small businesses and artists, for everybody. The US is cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world and for what?? Even if this gets sorted out or walked back, it’s going to cause a major disruption.

Got a little shop update in the works! While I work on everything else, I quietly restocked all of the phone grips - and snuck in 2 brand new designs. 😉 But I still need to do product photos for all of the other new things (small charms ARE coming to the shop, I swear!!) [ #artshop]

GenAI is not inevitable and not everybody is using it, those are lies. It isn’t just creatives who hate it, my partner works in tech industry and so do many of our friends and they all hate AI too!
