Cranky for a number of reasons. But at least I can stand outside in the rain and hang out with the porchwasps.

Jackal! Molecular biologist. Bug enthusiast. Yips, yaps, cackles too much for his own good. Product of the 1980s. Independently pointy. 18+ only please! He/Him
I tried putting this harvestman on the cover of Vogue but they said its legs were too long. :(
I have eaten too many potatoes and I regret nothing.
Just now realizing I've ordered more books when I do not, in fact, have any space left on my shelf. I guess I need another one!
Pretty productive cleaning day for only having like. 2 hours of sleep. Managed to get rid of a bunch of paperwork I've had laying around. Gems like 'oil change service report from 2016' and 'onboarding paperwork from a job I haven't had since 2022'.
There was a joke account on Twitter like, forever ago that posted shit about the Chevy Astrovan. Once it was a shot of a bunch in a junkyard captioned "the world is a van pile" and I cannot sing "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" without automatically using that line.
Though summer's ending and our spooky critters and cryptids have gone back into hiding (until Halloween), our friend and talented animator FishyBoner on YouTube wants to share ALL of the friends and animations that were done for our 2026 convention! 👀👻 youtu.be/9qmS6tOKlvk

I've done it. I've gone and read through the entire Dune series twice. :D
Man, now Tim Curry too? Death, you keep taking the wrong 80 year olds!
Rescued a cranefly from the lab. It's heen a good day fer moving critters outside. At least there's that.
Two for one scutigera, and another rabid wolf spider, and I found a cicada exuviae (on a tree outside). The latter to be added to my collection of skulls and bones and etc.
ok a few more cryptid bebes and I'm off to bed, I powered the local GPU Glaze

What exactly are you looking at here? Beside artwork by Paul Kämpf? The answer is going to a take a bit of unpacking, but it's a ruby-tailed cuckoo wasp, Chrysis ignita. Let's start by looking at it from another angle... (🧑🎨: Paul Kämpf)
Blessed are the jackalpals For they will be called the children of Dog.
You may ask yourself, "Well, how did I get here?!"
Shitty day. But at least I can stand outside and listen to the sounds. And watch the blinky beetle pals. At least there is that.
Man after that chat the urge to just fucking quit this hellhole job is REALLY HIGH.
Another great word from the Dune series I had forgotten: shiptit. As in "...where a longrange lighter clung to its shiptit."
@anuolfraccoon.bsky.social and his Muad'Dib level of prescience really is the hero of this dish.
