There are so many immensely talented paleoartists and scientific illustrators this cover could have been done by. Disgraceful for a journal to go with bad AI images instead.

I thoroughly approve of and encourage the bullying of genAI proponents, by the way.

Northern Lights seen right outside our house…in the middle of the Twin Cities in Minnesota!

This is my last and longest of three aurora threads, for the final substorm I saw from Columbus Ohio USA. It was by far the most brilliant and the strongest (at one point visible *south* of us)! It started ~11:30PM local time and lasted a full half-hour. Just unbelievably stunning! 1/10

godDAMN

Posts that made me google brachipod anatomy: (My answer is ventral valve btw it's more shape)

It is believed that all vertebrates descend from the larva of a filter feeder that stopped metamorphosing, staying in its mobile juvenile stage. This is the basis for the incurable disease Retromorphosis Maligna, where ancient genes reactivate and transform the body into its "adult" sessile form.

Ah, yes. We've returned to 'deep midnight at five o' clock' time of the year again.

Happy #InternationalCaterpillarDay to all who celebrate. Post your caterpillars.

i want to believe that the push towards patron-based economy is driven by people's emotional willingness to support each other it's just that none of us has the money for this scheme. this is essentially "thoughts and prayers" - it's nice and hearwarming but unfortunately doesn't pay my bills

the air of faggotry exists in many places that aren't the vatican as well, such as a supermarket perhaps or my apartment i guess

Whole wheat kitty loaf warming on the radiator. Photo from my collection, ca. 1970s (in case you can't tell by the rainbow of browns).

I like how, 2 years later, this is still relevant

Met a guy. Just in time for #invertefest no less.

boys be like, "i have a type" and the type is bug

I mean this in an encouraging way: try to unlearn your disgust of “creepy” crawlies. While not always easy, it is so richly rewarding to develop an appreciation for some of the most numerous and fascinating animals that you can see just about every time you go outside. There is wonder everywhere.

QRP with your skull art ! (this is quite old but it was a blast to render, i should do it again)

Taps the sign The definition of a “quick sketch” changes from artist to artist. Let people self-describe their process.

If you do something else, submit your work now! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

-encourages community that isn’t necessarily dependent on family (go out with your pals!) but can easily include family: ✅ -sharing food with neighbors and strangers: ✅ -creativity abounds in decor and costumes: ✅ -mostly secular but still has neat historical ties: ✅ -skeletons: ✅

Someone was surprised to learn that I yeet bugs out instead of *gently relocating* them. I appreciate the gesture. But in the tropics, seeing bugs where they shouldn't be is an hourly—not weekly thing. You learn what can survive a yeet to save time. In this thread I'm rating animal yeetability.

Having autoplay as the default for videos is a REALLY bad move. You can disable autoplay for videos — it’s in the “Accessibility Settings.” (While you’re there you can also enable “require alt text before posting” if you haven’t yet)

It's very tragic how many people glorify cruel and outdated teaching practices in academia, and treat going through such courses as a badge of honor

He what now

#InverteFest begins on Wednesday. If you do invertebrate art, get ready to plug your service/merch. If you don't have invert art YET: 1. what are you doing with your life 2. I got you, here's a curated gallery of invert references showing artist-friendly angles www.inaturalist.org/observations...

Yeah because the point is always control. They push the narrative of immovable gender, to exert control, but then they also insist on "appropriate" gendered behavior. The point is that nobody gets to have any agency, since they get "born into" a gender and are forced to perform it.
