"You have to use AI." ...why?

Day 10 #artAdventCalendar A piece for Manufactured Ecosystems about the future of pollination about who decides what gets pollinated if humans and our devices are the only pollinators. 🧪🐡 The definition of “weed” is usually pretty arbitrary and usually all sorts of native plants get caught up in 🧵

This is as close as I am allowed to get. I have stolen too many tufties from @adailyviolet.bsky.social and my privileges have been revoked. #GrouchyBunny #aDailyViolet

The final prompt of Creepmas is Gift Giver. This is a hangingfly, which gives nuptial gifts (though they aren't usually wrapped in paper and shiny ribbons). #7daysofcreepmas25 #7daysofcreepmas #ArtAdventCalendar #entomologyart

The 6th prompt of Creepmas is Feast. A scene from my fav Christmas movie "How Otis Destroyed Christmas" by Garden State Tortoise #7daysofcreepmas25 #7daysofcreepmas #ArtAdventCalendar

#ArtAdventCalendar day 5: Another framed painting, this time a fox. The background is fully coated with thin layer of pearlescent gold to match the frames! #art #traditionalart

A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020. Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃 #ArtAdventCalendar

Natee is one of our greatest living artists in my humble opinion, I'm saving up my pennies to one day buy an original. Having such incredible work stolen so brazenly is horrible. Please report any links and support them and their stunning work

The 5th prompt of Creepmas is Festive Sweater. "Oh dread, oh dread, it's up to my...oops!" #7daysofcreepmas25 #7daysofcreepmas #ArtAdventCalendar

The 4th prompt of Creepmas is Fireplace. Visions of sugar plums are dancing in sleepy Zero's head! #7daysofcreepmas25 #7daysofcreepmas #ArtAdventCalendar

Order by midnight to receive by Christmas!

The 3rd prompt of Creepmas is Ice Skating. The Fresno Nightcrawlers are taking a night off for some skating fun! #7daysofcreepmas25 #7daysofcreepmas

The 2nd prompt of Creepmas is Carolers. Not sure if this creature counts as one or three 🤔 #7daysofcreepmas25 #7daysofcreepmas

Evolution doesn’t look how it’s depicted in pop culture. We often picture the famous “March of Progress” illustration where a series of apes stand in line leading to a modern human. But evolution is not linear. It branches and divides and recombines. Image: @tmkeesey.bsky.social

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Not sure it's the BEST choice of reading material when I'm sick with respiratory gunk, but the stories are good!

Bumping this thread again because the shop is still open until Wednesday 💛 sleepimali-shop.com (And sidenote, I don't know if I'll reopen it again this year, so if you want to get anything for the holidays, now is the time)

This talk is *so motivating*. I do a considerable amount of public facing scicomm but this is next-level; she knows how to reach the individuals we/(I) most want to connect with. If there's an opportunity to invite @sarahmackattack.bsky.social to give a talk where you are, take it!

An artist rat for a "Draw This in Your Style" challenge from @ ilusbymari on IG. It's not my usual color palette but it was such a cute idea that I couldn't resist! #DTIYS #NoAI #ChildrensIllustration

I can’t offer you huge Black Friday markdowns but I have some unique, “where did you get that!?” gifts made locally by me, or other small businesses in my community. Perfect for that geology-enthusiast in your life 👇🏻 You can find them all here: www.luciaperezdiaz.com/category/all...

Anyone with a phone and a few hours to spare a week can also call Dem voters in Nashville and tell them not only is there a special election but Dems are about 2,000-3,000 votes away from winning. This isn't a longshot election. It is a wide open goal for Nashville and Clarksville voters to walk in.

Y'all...this is for real! This is a race where, quite literally, every single vote matters. Volunteer to do some phone banking with @standupforscience.bsky.social here: www.standupforscience.net/tennesseans-... #AftynFTW #StandUpforScience

You're never gonna believe this, but we're out of archaeologists again. We have matched ~650 groups with archaeologists this semester! I am so grateful to the 196 Archaeologist volunteers! We have 60 unmatched groups rn Know archaeologists who could do a session? Send them to SkypeAScientist.com

Who here has BIG canvas paintings available for purchase? I need to fill a large awkward wall in my house and would love a statement piece of some sort. Vertical orientation. Probably something on the abstract or geometric side rather than representational. The room is sage green and terracotta.

Some more fun with the acrylic markers #sciart #bugsky #acrylicmarker #sketchbook

Fungi and other finds from a visit to the Great Wood near Keswick in the English Lake District last week - particularly exciting to find Hen-of-the-woods (Maitake) which I’ve never found before, it’s not common in the UK. Pen and watercolour sketches. 🐡 #fungi #lichen #plants #fungiFriends #art
