I’d be in deep trouble if I had a yard

This fall, @megstampede.bsky.social & I are collaborating to create a 2026 calendar! Each month features a different animal, facts about them, & actions we can take to help them! Sales will fund our '26 Native 🌱 Project Order before 10/1 to get a free plant sticker! www.etsy.com/listing/4366...

I am putting my art up in public for everyone. Pen and ink and color pencil on cardboard. Abolish ICE.

He has returned. (Don’t ask about his arm he doesn’t want to talk about his arm)

Finally hung these beauties up on my office door! @sarahmackattack.bsky.social

It is time.

We need to sell about 500 of these to fully fund the native plant project for 2026. We're at about 90 so far so we're getting there! Tell your animal loving friends about this calendar 😘

I feel like I need to sleep for 3 days straight but I have deadlines coming at me oh no oops oh no

Request: Do any of my science or environment colleagues have a strategic communications plan for your social media communications that you'd be willing to share with me for a class assignment? 🧪🦑🌎

We have a little more than $800 to go to reach our goal! Help the The Natural History Society of Maryland fund their new shark science and conservation exhibit, which I'm working with them to design! 🧪🦑🌎🦈 www.southernfriedscience.com/help-support...

I took a little video at the show that I honestly feel I can’t post here because it blows up this poor woman’s spot, but it’s the horniest part of the horniest song, and she’s been singing along the whole time, then at this one line you can just see her make this face, and girl you are all of us.

I was right to prepare myself like a sacrificial goat for this show. I was right to do that. CW: flashing lights

*dude is strangling me against the wall* some folks, pointing: I don't want to support that shit *me, giving you a thumbs up as I gurgle my dying breath*

Ok got my throat stomping boots on and a bunch of zines in my pockets I am ready.

@sarahmackattack.bsky.social I don’t want to interrupt concert preparations but also… I definitely squealed to see this!

I will be in Japan October 11-November 3rd. By the time I'm back, shipping rates will have increased for the holiday rush. Get an Eel Facts Advent calendar now to avoid the price hike! They are gorgeously illustrated by @ehrenenglish.bsky.social, and have 24 cool facts about EELS!! eelfacts.net

Please do not tell small artists and nonprofits based in the US that you are thinking about abstaining from buying stuff from us because of the Trump administration. We also do not like that guy! You can just...not tell us! It feels like being kicked when we're already down, ya know?

I just got a pedicure to match my manicure for tonight’s show and I wanna share it with you because it’s CUTE but I can’t be posting my feet on the internet like that or so I have HEARD.

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

Seeing ice cream cones during their spawning runs really takes your breath away. They’ll only do this once in their entire lives.

It’s sleep token eve oh my goodness I am so excited. 24 hours until it begins. I’m going with a stranger, we both did our nails for the occasion, this life is strange but so is sleep token LFG.

We’re talking about why native plants matter and how to plant them in the city tonight at the Olde Richmond Civic Association meeting. Gave out zines and seeds and worksheets and it was cute! Nice things are still possible in this shitty timeline of ours.

Rupert enjoys cosplaying as a business man. He has no credentials whatsoever but he loves the idea of working with paperclips so he’s sending in his application.

Tonight I'll be going to a neighborhood assn's monthly meeting to talk about creating habitat for wildlife in Philly with native plants! I made a worksheet for people to plan out their gardens. Pages 3-4 are specifically for Philly, but 1-2 apply to everybody. drive.google.com/file/d/1DRVR...

Keep 'em coming! these clubs keep signing up! I feel like I'm in one of those movies that takes place in a submarine where the alarms are all going off, and steam is blowing out the pipes, and everyone's running around in wet shoes trying to stop the sub from sinking.

Skype a Scientist does not allow kids to email scientists directly bc it's obviously risky, so it's verboten. It shocks me how often I get emails from middle/HS kids asking me to meet bc of an assignment. It's good to trust scientists in GENERAL, but not like this! We are internet strangers!

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

I got a harness for Tinsel because she always yells at me through the door when I’m out front, and I was like man Tinsel is Queen of the Jerks she’s not gonna let me put a harness on her, but she happily wore it and we took a slow-mo little arthritic walk to the corner and back and she LOVED IT.

Ok but literally

Welp here we are again, fresh out of Archaeologists for Skype a Scientist matches. This fall, we have matched 248 groups with Archaeologists for online Q&As. I have 38 more groups who need a match, but I'm out of Archaeologists! Archaeologists! Please volunteer www.skypeascientist.com/sign-up.html

hey i just got an alert saying your personal info was found on the dork web

Nails are ready for #SleepToken on Wednesday.

They’re scheming, I just know it

I have to set my alarm 4 days in a row, and listen, I know 90% of you do this 5x a week, but I typically live my life like Winnie the Pooh, so this much sleep deprivation is just horrible.

Extremely life affirming show from @spanishlovesongs.bsky.social tonight. If you haven’t listened to them already, fix that. It’s really good music for when you’re having a really bad time.

Seeing Spanish Love Songs tonight. The opener is from Jersey and the guitarist’s mom just gave him the biggest thumbs up from the audience. It was so cute I teared up a little. I am becoming such a softie.

Just another couple minutes of couch time with Otis then I gotta GO

If there was a hoagie, throwing competition, I would like to partake. These things are just so chuckable.

Off to a good start with the Halloween decorations around here

If I were in Philly today, THIS is where I’d be! I want so much of the art you see in this video. Go get you some! 🙌

The Artpocalypse is nigh! @hvon.bsky.social showed us around the Artpocalypse Now! Art Market this morning. We’ll be here at Starbolt in Philly until 5!

Deer costume, C14th.

Caring about reaching people effectively is not egotism. This is especially true when we’re living through nightmare times like now, and when a combo of monopolies and the ultra wealthy are trying to control the media. Get a grip folks.
