I painted the trans sea.

My friends finally got me to watch Project Hail Mary. God what a movie. I'm now reckoning with the fact that my day job in insulation development (which concerns 14% of all of Earth's GHG emissions) is just PHM in reverse. I'm so proud to be a part of this and I'm gonna be insufferable about it.

I helped describe a new species of Andean widow spider! zookeys.pensoft.net/article/185973 This was a rare occurence where an arthropod had a common name before a scientific one. Locals call it "la lucacha," so we are pleased to formally introduce "Latrodectus lucacha" to the scientific community.

happy pride moth everyone

Yesterday it was a value pack of mustard, which I hate

Every time I have to go into w@lmart I make sure to pick up a random item and stare at it for at least 30 seconds just to fuck with their customer surveillance algorithms

Truly a golden age for scammers.

We got fined because the company next door keeps putting Whatever They Feel Like in our recycling dumpster. 😑

Younger daughter & I found these fossilised crinoid rock stars (segments of the ‘stem’ of Jurassic feather stars/sea lilies, related to starfish & sea urchins) in the gravel on the edge of a lake nr Peterborough UK. She used them to make an ammonite:

Quick art :)

Okay, this worked SURPRISINGLY well.

I have a speaking engagement about bugs scheduled for tomorrow morning, but with this terrible cough I've completely lost my ability to speak... The only logical path forward is to rewrite my presentation in the style of a silent film, which I have done. It's gonna be great.

For anyone here who happens to be voting in the New Jersey congressional primaries: Michael Roth just looked me in the eye and committed to rejecting anti-trans legislation in front of a room full of people, so he has my vote.

I've been stuck indoors with the flu all week, but on the plus side I've now contributed over 80,000 IDs for other users on iNaturalist. (most not this week lol) Go outside, take some photos of bugs, upload them to iNat, and @ me if you want help with identifications! www.inaturalist.org

This time it was a whole new genus!
