I’ve put loads of designs onto the store. They’ll be on there until Tuesday. Please buy one (or a book or a mug etc) so I can continue eating and living in a house. Thank you. thelifeofsharks.com

Look, let's get this straight, once and for all. It's DUCK TAPE 🦆, not duct tape. I brought RECEIPTS. Modern duck tape is cloth-backed, polyurethane coated, with a pressure-sensitive adhesive & a distinctive silvery color from a powdered aluminum pigment. But duck tape is much older...

I must remind folks that if you preorder my newest, THE CALAMITIES, from @doylestownbookshop.bsky.social, you get some little treats — stickers by Natalie Metzger of some of the demons in the book, plus a unique diabolical demony personalization juuuust for yoooooou. Deets:

Ok this is FUN. It's a daily game from the Met, where you get 10 objects, and you have to identify where and WHEN they objects are from. I am terrible at this game. TERRIBLE. I love it. anthropeum.com

If you are commissioning work, holy heck, do NOT do this. It takes minimal effort on your part to research the artist you’re hiring. Don’t add one more burden and insult to human artists already having a rough time these days.

Are you worried about the environmental impact of your food choices, but confused by competing sustainability labels? My new book can help! It's now available for preorder with a significant discount! Here's why I decided to write it: www.southernfriedscience.com/why-sustaina...

Me at every artist:

I know everybody is wary of Ai art but please please you GOTTA quadruple check before accusing an institution with a long history of working with artists, for a community of artists, and the artists themselves of using Ai art. It’s devastating to be told your hard work is Ai.

From today’s hike. And with that, good night. ~•~ Fruited Balloonpod Milkvetch (Astragalus whitneyi) with lupine, daggerpod, mariposa lily and paintbrush on a high elevation ridgeline. 🌿

The 12yo has declared it Pink Hairy Squat Lobster Awareness Day! Look at this wee guy. Orange or pink with red or purple markings, this crustacean is on 7mm or 0.28” long and also known as a Fairy crab! Found near the giant sponge Xestospongia testudinaria, near Indonesia, the Philippines & Japan

Please, no fireworks this weekend Terrible for wildlife. Cannon Beach has banned them. Laser pointers also--no. Last year at Haystack Rock an endangered oystercatcher chick died due to such "celebrations." This year, two chicks may make it if we can all just do... nothing. That's all you have to do.

Hey all this is your reminder to be VERY careful about where you buy shirts and how you phrase things - scammers target anyone who even whispers that they want something on (a shirt).

How was your weekend? Here, "Let's get dressed up for Saturday night" means pretending to be a 6-foot bird so an orphaned baby doesn’t imprint on humans. Just normal weekend stuff. (Uglymom glow up! Equally as sweltering when slogging in 110 degree heat index, but better than a torn bedsheet) 🪶

We have a little over 24 hours to save the internet. The vote for a package of internet-freedom destroying bills is being rushed to the US House floor on Monday the 29th. Spread this beyond Bluesky, ASAP. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Wacom recently asked me to talk about why I make queer comics, and given there are multiple bills right now floating around in congress that are effectively "we will kill your livelihood if we get a sniff of queer" I had some pretty strong, simply feelings to relay.

If you have some spare funds and would like a little tactile magic in your life I have some incredibly grounding objects I would love to exchange for currency that the grocery and pharmacy accept. <3 www.galdrecraft.com

Second season on these pnw native wildflowers I’ve planted. The collomia especially has really taken off and the checker-mallow is taller than I am! #bloomscrolling 🌸 🌱
