When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I have been playing this song on loop for the past three hours youtube.com/shorts/Im-5x...

Everything will keep getting gayer until morale improves

Ego Rebirth

Demilitarize the United States

A rare office selfie! We're making robots

While I am not a drag queen (my gender is not a performance), I really enjoyed The Prince & the Dressmaker by Jen Wang. My heart aches for a kinder world we all know is possible.

I love how many queer women there are in every chapter of human history. I love you queer women

Galaxy: The Prettiest Star (by @planetx.bsky.social and Jess Taylor) HURT, but in a healing sort of way. It makes me want to go out and befriend more queer aliens.

Clinics and hospitals are capitulating in advance and with no warning, cutting off trans people of all ages. Fascists made it clear from the beginning they are pushing for our extermination, and the people we’re supposed to entrust with our care are betraying us. This is dire.

I'm trying to keep moving and stay focused but sometimes it hits heavy, that I had to flee my home state because of transphobia.

A couple of page concepts from the book I'd love to create some day.

I want to see a remake of War of the Worlds where it's just giant Opiliones harvesters and the conflict is people assuming they're venemous and overreacting

What happens if you mix lactaid into dairy before you eat it

I love when my business gets a good grade in accounting, which is normal to want and possible to achieve

In addition to being an excellent source on all things social wasps, Alie helped me survive a yellowjacket occupation of my writing shed WHILE I WAS WRITING GRIZZLED.

Jason interviewed me for the chapter on yellowjackets. 😊🐝

We're horseposting post your horses. *whinnying noises*

In celebration of Mardi Grad and New Orleans in general, here’s a lil witch casting Jambalaya with her allidragon 🥰

I'm reading as much empowering trans fiction as I can this winter. I just sped through Magica Riot by @magicariot.com in one sitting and I thought it was a blast. Very adorkably girly and queer. On to the next!

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪

Y'all. New internal analysis just dropped. Owlfly's new YellowJacket™ insulation is around half the cost of traditional mineral wool once you factor in shipping costs (because ours packs down way better). I've been running around the office giddy, showing everyone graphs. This is absurd. 🧪

"Communion" - acrylic, colored pencil and gold pen on wood panel, 2025

Big breakthroughs in machine prototyping this week! >:3

What’s your favorite shark species? Mine is definitely the blacktip reef shark. It’s not the most interesting or special looking one out there but I somehow really like them.

Remembering my friend Richard Forrest, a marine reptile expert, with a week or two of marine reptile artworks. I'll start with this old acrylic painting, called The Wreck, which I created for Richard back in 2004. #SciArt #PalaeoArt #PaleoArt #Dinosaurs #Alt4Me #MarineReptiles #JurassicWorld

New profile picture, same great taste!

I had a stroke of inspiration in the car today and now there's an extra chapter in my spider book for all the aspiring scientific illustrators out there. 😉

have a good day, sapphics 💜🌸

The true meaning of lesbianism is being late to work because you spent the whole morning laying in bed making each other laugh with silly voices

It happened again. I swear I'm not even trying to study them right now

#InvertebrateParenthood One of my favorite encounters ever, this lovely Hamataliwa helia mum, and some of her newly-hatched miniatures at her feet 🥹

Does otherkin have a symbol like therian does

Pillowtalk

If you are an older male taxonomist who laments that your field is dying: maybe don't jump at any opportunity to humiliate a younger researcher just because she disagrees with your hypotheses.

My subconscious is not immune to attractive bisexual Canadian women. 😔

What real-life animal (living or prehistoric) do you think best embodies the Autism Creature meme?

I've spent so long studying wasps that I keep saying "Polistes" when I mean "Papilio". "Polistes multicaudata" would be, uh... a little intimidating.

so don't get too comfortable. #art
