The sound is Jump Around if you want to take it off mute but it's great silent too.

Pip + pottery #comic 1/8

Friday was a big day! For only the 5th time in CPSC's 50+ year history, the agency was mentioned on Jeopardy! This puts us only 343 mentions behind the Smithsonian museums and only 365 mentions behind NASA. Let's go!

A wholesome story for nerds: On Saturday, I was signing books at a local bookstore for Independent Bookstore Day. The store had a signing-palooza with new authors every hour; toward the end of my hour, a woman came up and asked what my book was about. "Dictionaries," I said, and she lit up. 1/n

Some of my Warped Ocean collection stickers arrived! 😁🥳🥳 The shiny effects came out so coooool!!! #illustration #art #DarkArt

A good read about the rocks we carved tiny electrical rivers and locks in.

This looks like it'll have a ton of great art!

Bluesky hive mind! The kid just told me that they're newly interested in "weird tabletop board games" and are looking for recommendations. Got any weird wonders you'd care to share?

🪶 A spotted towhee decided this was a good branch while I was looking out for birds of prey. This is the best shot I got of the striking red eye but it takes a 100% crop to see.

🪶 A couple of starlings drew me in to take a shot and when I downloaded the image I realized that most of the woodpecker holes have acorns in them! Some busy creature has taken advantage of the storage.

First off, this couple is hilarious and I want to subscribe to their podcast and be friends with them. Their legal Mass “BORT” license plate is getting rung up with EZPass tolls from people who have Simpsons novelty plates. www.instagram.com/reel/DRfod3l...

Realized today that it's been a hot minute (OK, 7 months) since I've posted any nature photos so here's a chrysalis! I had to move this one a few feet to keep it safe so it's tied up with some thread.

@aplante.com this seems like something you'd get a kick out of.

Pythagorean Triple Square Day, as one man affectionately calls 9/16/25, is a day like no other this century.

@joelkuiper.eu the vanishing point here reminds me of some of your photos.

This sounds better than too much social talk into standups. I'm not opposed to some, especially as it feels like the only opportunity some people have as a relief valve, but having to gently keep the meeting on topic to respect group time pains me because I want people to have social growth too.

i’m so sorry you had to find out this way but all-dressed chips are just chip bukkake

I wrote a program to lipsync the shipping forecast in a terminal window, and I have no regrets.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

This is long for microblogging but _so_ worth reading. An incredible story of community and resilience (both on Jen's part and the eye infection) I'm left almost without words.

Some nice feeds listed below that you pin to your homepage if you need a break. Don’t miss out on bugs, the invertebrates feed is great too. bsky.app/profile/did:...

#birds A hawk, red-shouldered perhaps?

Saw this fluffed up bird as dusk settled, I believe it's a scrub jay. #birds

I was looking at the electrical grid supply numbers and I had a real brainwave moment, instead of cutting off solar production at 4pm maybe we continue it for a couple more hours? Could really balance out the high demand we see around 6pm.

Saw these little orange #insects earlier this month. No idea what they are but their butt(?) wiggle-wave was cool to see. Please share if you know them. Lens was a macro effective ~160mm that isn't great for video so I decided some stabilization wobbles were less annoying than the original shake.

If I'm going to start posting Snug of the Day here, you need to know the context. I have a huge 22lb tabby named Oslo and a normal size guy named Gotham and all they do is cuddle because they're obsessed with each other.

And now for an interlude in my dissertation presentation...

A bonanza of banana slugs from my drawing demo at the @massmice.bsky.social cartoonarium a couple weeks ago!
