Which ancient fish are you? #GarWeek #Conservation #Garology #FishSciComm #SciComm #GarLab

On the fourth day of #GarWeek, we’re celebrating other native, ancient fish species! Check out these species bios to get an idea of what other ancient fish besides gar reside in North America and beyond.

Read about the Bowfin, the gar’s closest living relative. #GarWeek

Convinced Shannon to do a paint night with me for #garweek! Her gar bus brings me so much joy🌞 #GARtwork

Another #GarWeek spotlight species is the Bowfin. Check out this young of the year bowfin from a Green Bay coastal wetland. #GreatLakes

It’s been over a month since Adelita Grijalva was elected to the House, but Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in — because Grijalva would be the decisive 218th signature to force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files. Take action with our social toolkit: app.sosha.ai/toolkit/adel...

Call out for scientists! 👇🚨 We are still looking for scientists who would like to work on a deep sea art project. A view artists are still looking for a teammate to create gorgous art and to celebrate the deep sea. 🦑 🐟 🐡 🐙 🦀 #SundayFishSketch

Fuck you, Spotify.

There are many people whose lives are so much better for having you in it. Remember that. You are important, and you are loved.

The people who build their heaven on your land are telling you that yours is in the sky. - Nina Simone Pic of the day #photography

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

Friends, please join me in welcoming the Manta Trust to Bluesky! They’ve left Twitter and are setting up shop here. 🧪🌎🦑🦈 #SciComm

Hanging onto every bit of good news The river has come alive in the Klamath with wild Chinook salmon. The wider ecosystem is healing. This most powerful story of Indigenous-led #rewilding after the largest dam removal in US history keeps getting better. lostcoastoutpost.com/2025/oct/9/o...

i wrote an 18 page paper on mangrove ecology and management in about 4 hours armed with a buncha sources i skimmed months earlier and coffee (got an a-)

My father died suddenly in our home this past Sunday. I am fighting against the overwhelming revulsion I have to asking for financial support to ask for help covering my access to healthcare for the remainder of the year so that I can focus on supporting my mom. gofund.me/7be865eb6

I made a list of Native songs by Native artists on tidal. It has punk, throat singer, R&B, pop, a little bit of everything. Related, I noticed that a bunch of the artists don't have their albums on Tidal anymore, anyone know what's up with that? Did I miss something? tidal.com/playlist/e2a...

Don't stop searching for joy. Track it down if you can. Look in cluttered bookstores, movie theaters, spooky cemeteries, and mossy forests. Take joy out for tea, adventure, and gentle mischief across the land.

The word for #sciartseptember 23 is 'scouting'. I drew a mole that was busy scouting for grubs before poking up to say hello. #scienceart #nature #natureart

I'm really late, but here's a contribution for #SciartSeptember ! The word was 'fellowship', and it made me think of how goldenrod brings lots of different pollinators and wildlife together. It has always read as a symbol of 'power in togetherness' for me. #NatureArt #wildflower #wildlife

Day 15 #SciArtSeptember prompt spawn. I’m sharing my portrait of self-taught trail-blazing Irish #marineBiologist Maude Delap (1866 – 1953), 1st to successfully breed jellyfish in captivity & document their full lifecycle. 🧪🐡👩🏼‍🔬 #histsci She is surrounded by blue jellyfish (Cyanea lamarckii) life 🧵

Even stone gives way when roots persist.

On Friday, September 12th I will update the shop with my glow-in-the-dark animal constellation pins! Wahoo! It's the perfect time of year to get ready to love the dark again. That sounded ominous- I'm not a vampire. I promise. www.etsy.com/shop/LauraIllustratesShop photo by: angelcarboni.carrd.co

You Seal My Heart! #art #harborseal

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

“Shrimps is bugs” is a funny meme, but there’s some truth in the reverse version, “Bugs is shrimps” 🐛🦐 Since insects are literally a group of terrestrial crustacean. And among all the insects, bristletails are probably the most shrimp-like in my opinion!

Men (and me) only want one thing, and it's FUCKING disgusting.

We should have a Bluesky main character of the day that everyone is nice to, just pick someone and shower them with appreciation.

It's really not the best, but I've felt inspired by pokeweed lately. Toxicity aside, I love the color of the stems and berries. And I love how they provide for birds and other wildlife. #wildlifeart #nativeplants #plants #art

Oh boy, day 2 of #AugArthroAwe I had no idea what an Opabinia looked like before this challenge. They were such odd little things. And they made me think of peacock mantis shrimp! So here is a VERY ROUGH rendition of a peacock Opabinia!

I've always loved Horseshoe crabs. They have an ancient, ageless feel to them that resonates with me. I'm also Genderqueer, so I thought I'd project my silly little gender onto this wonderful creature. Horray day 1! #AugArthroAwe
