Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

Mark your calendars: Republicans in Missouri have placed a referendum on the 2026 ballot that democracy advocates say would kill the state’s ballot initiative process.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!

Release the full un-redacted Epstein Files.

I just want to say... Get pooped on, fascists. #birds #art #protest

Getting my covid booster tomorrow. Grateful to live so close to Illinois that I can pop over for that when Missouri is restricting access by age and health status. Yikes. This timeline.

I’m planning my Fall / Halloween shop update for Monday October 6! #ceramics

I'm not going to stop making art and sharing content about what's happening in the US. People who are just trying to live their lives, who haven't done anything wrong, are being treated cruelly and denied their constitutional rights (massive understatement).

Clumpws enjoys curling up in a wet, leafy mound with a good book and a family-sized bag of mulch or a chippy tea (“ wood chips, that is!”). Be careful when clearing out that woodpile. Clumpws might be in there absorbed in a Ken Follett.

It feels strange to have been taught to judge someone's character based on their actions and not their words when words often have just as much if not more bearing on a person's character.

I keep thinking about this.

I really wish my parents' generation would learn to sit with discomfort. At the slightest hint of it so many fight, flee, or freeze. I wonder if it's a big reason we can't communicate effectively.

Good morning! Day 2 of @instbirdpop.bsky.social TMAPS #birdbanding begins today! It's great to have this year's wet season off to a good start! 🪶🧪🌏

#SciArtSeptember 13 - Bottleneck We almost lost the last wild horses. At the end of the 1950s, there were only 12 Przewalski's horses left. After decades of conservation efforts, there are now a couple thousand horses living in zoos and conservation areas in several countries, from Spain to China.

Leaves! Leaves! Leaves! (Leaf shaped zipper pouches) 🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁🌿🍁 #handmade #bsnm #renaissancefestival #nature

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Catch-up day 1 of #avianaugust2025 ‘I’iwi (status: vulnerable) Markers, pencil and gouache on paper. Still enjoying the traditional approach. #avianaugust #birdart #birds #hawaii

Well said!

Gotta say seeing governors competing to one up each other to see who can make vaccines most accessible is a refreshing change.

Remove RFK Jr. He has no business doing anything related to our healthcare. Shouldn't have been confirmed in the first place. Trust experts, not brain worms. #trustscience #americanrobin #activism #RFK #standupforscience #art

I painted a bunch of natural cork today and lasered these little front pieces for small leaf pouches! this size is perfect for earplugs, coins, or other little things. I originally designed these so I'd stop losing my earplugs! #wearableart #renaissancefestival #WIP #handmade #leaf #bsnm

Large painted cork leather zipper pouches are on our shop! They're roughly 6.25" x 5".25 www.talenshistudios.com/collections/... #handmade #blueskynightmarket #goblincore #nature #art #handmadegifts

Going back to traditional drawing today which is how my career started! I like working traditional but it takes a while for my brain to figure out how to do it again after working digital all these years!

Ughhhhh look how pretty these two paint jobs turned out! 😭😭😭😭 This cork fabric has iridescent gold veins in it... I just got a sample to test with paint, and I'm gonna need a roll of this if leaf pouches are doing well this fall. #handmade #art #wip #craft #fantasy

🌿Leaf shaped cork zipper pouches🌿 They're finalized! I'm just building up stock for STL Ren fest and getting faster. (If you need one before I put em on our website, which could be a while, shoot me a dm) #handmade #bsnm #blueskynightmarket #renaissancefestival #leaf #goblincore

Looking at this sketch again and I still really like it... Perhaps I shall gather up the courage to finish it 👀🪶

Consistent imagery like this in public spaces where urban nature is accessible is extremely important for education. When people who do not focus their time on these issues see this, it connects them directly to their surroundings. It increases the chances of empathy and caretaking of our spaces.

The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō, or ʻōʻōʻāʻā was last heard in 1987, and was declared extinct in 2023. It was the last extant member of the Mohoidae family of birds. There are a few recordings of its call—here’s one of them: tinyurl.com/5f3hc4ny #avianaugust #birdart 🪶

I got really obsessed with finalizing our zipper pouch designs this week! We're SO close! Learned a ton about our sewing machine too!

Today I: ✨Made two phone calls ✨Adjusted two SVG files for a product we are developing ✨Took stock of materials ✨Made a spreadsheet of journal stock color schemes ✨Sewed a prototype leaf pouch ✨Got groceries ✨Laser cut two things 🧠My brain: "YOU DID NOTHING!"

If you’re anxious about the prospect of A.I. dislodging you from your job, or your entire profession, you will find this book comforting. Shoutout to @lither.land for the recommendation.

Passing through the dark forest, they crossed a field of clover. Beyond the field, the blue sky stretched out. KOKEDAMACHAN couldn't help but take a deep breath. She felt the blue sky being forcefully drawn into her body. #Illustration #LineArt #CommentPls

I'm not very online and don't really engage with NSFW things in this space, but I do know that censorship is a poisonous thing that may not hurt me today or tomorrow, but will creep in to do damage somewhere down the line. Banning content you might not like only hurts everyone else further down.
