Demilitarize the United States

I’m going to call this Moon Joy. I started this during the Artemis 2 mission & while listening to the audiobook of Project Hail Mary. It was a bright spot (#carroll 🥹) during a sad time. #crosstitch #xstitch #crafting

Another 2-for-1 special for #DrawAFlowerADay and #InverteFest! Look at this little cutie!

You're in her DMs, I'm on her bookshelf. We are not the same.

Who’s a good boy? Bear sized carnivore Inostrancevia is showing its impressive teeth. They lived some 250 million years ago, and were the apex predators of their time. This illustration was made for an upcoming new book. More will follow soon! #SciArt #paleoart #gorgonops #animalart #animaldrawing

This time it was a whole new genus!

Have you ever wondered about the Neotropical cicada genus Guyalna? No? Well, I made a new resource all about them. www.inaturalist.org/journal/huma...

Who needs fireworks when you have siphonophores and lasers?!! 🌊🦑🧪 #DeepPIV #siphonophireworks #DesigningTheFuture3 @schmidtocean.bsky.social @mbarinews.bsky.social

All my employees found my youtube channel. OTL

happy lesbian visibility week to them

I hope this is self-evident, but I have never used gen-AI for any of my research, writing, illustrations, or coding. Owlfly Publishing has a human-made guarantee.

Fully a third of the spider book is appendices. WHOOPS

Can't give details but multiple ivy league schools are fighting over me lol

Does anyone know a good resource that breaks down habitat loss (historical and ongoing) by habitat type around the world?

why does my back hurt 🦌

Thank you sapphics and lesbians for being one of the best things in the whole world ❤️❤️❤️

My mom: what happened to the roof of your car? Me: oh, I stood on it so I could see into a field where there was a Swainson's hawk Mom: (visibly proud)

Boquila trifoliolata❣️ The vine was first described in 1817 but has only recently been documented as a leaf mimic of multiple hosts. What else are we overlooking???

Tremble before the might of the LEGENDARY WARRIOR who wields MACHINE_COMPONENT_SHIPMENT_0410!

Aaaand I missed the screenshot, lol. Not my fault, it went by too fast! But CONGRATS to @jayeatonart.bsky.social on clearing 🏃🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️1,000 BACKERS 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️ in under EIGHT HOURS! www.kickstarter.com/projects/iro...

Does anyone else have the autism where you have to use a thesaurus to remember the normal way people say things

The chapter I'm writing on spider venom toxicology has tricked me into cramming for organic chemistry. Now I know what "affinity chromatography" and "phagemid" and "solid phase peptide synthesis" and "F(ab')₂" means and I am indignant about it

This is the way. Common names should not be regulated, it destroys the whole point of them.

An absolutely *adorable* little bee 😍 for your morning

Brutal.

Do men realize how cowardly guns make them look?

We didn't deserve this day.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Weird Leucospis sp chalcid wasp with a very silly ovipositor setup (tucked on her back?), and a pebble bee, one of the possible larval hosts for the wasp. All eating at the same restaurant, as it were. A bit awkward perhaps

My upcoming spider book is going to be so good, y'all. Possibly my best work yet. 🕷️

I truly enjoyed the collaborative nature of making this video, and you might enjoy that mine is not the only face in it. This topic is amazing. youtu.be/_QF6kaOAuYg?...

Just a very normal paper wasp (with Grabby Hands) 👀 I did not know that the brown wasp mantidfly (Climaciella brunnea), which mimics Polistes paper wasps, can come in various morphs to mimic different species within Polistes (thanks @humanbyweight.bsky.social) - possibly P. metricus here! 😍 🧪

I think all cicadas have the same tiny little brain. It just bounces around in the bigger ones like a screensaver

It’s actually good to put pressure even on our progressive politicians to live up to their campaign promises.

Sometimes I wish transphobes actually saw trans women as men. We'd be treated a hell of a lot better than we are.

Does anyone know where I can find a timelapse of a Theridiid cobweb spider building a web?

A fisherman told me, “We caught a weird looking spiny lobster,” so I went to check it out… And there it was, a Ornate spiny lobster, just sitting there in all its glory!!!!

Reskeeting furry porn the morning after getting new follows for my writing just so people know this is not a Professional Writer account it's a Mad Max free for all

Cover design for Issue 2 of Uni of Edinburgh PalaeoSoc’s magazine, AEONS. The theme is “Prehistoric Islands” and I painted Hateg Island.

This is my trans agenda

I've been excited about this for days. Today we get a cool Cambrian critter that's the earliest known member of the group that contains spiders, scorpions, mites, and horseshoe crabs today. And its name? MEGACHELICERAX Read all about it in my latest newsletter.

the full set of dragonflies that i put together last year!

Demilitarize the United States.

draw is work

Cambrian on my mind #sciart

I try to avoid telling people I'm an engineer in entomology spaces and vice versa. People get confused and quietly assume I must be faking it or getting lucky at one of them, because women cannot be good at two things.
