I really want to touch grass. Steps outside onto the artificial turf, my Landlord decided to put in the backyard.

I finished my insect fact gumball machine for bug fest!
I don’t care how respected you are as a person, science educator, author, artist, etc. If I find out that you are using generative AI in any aspect of your work, you lose all of my respect.
Today I channelled a little bit of @soundoftheforest.bsky.social and tried to make a Monarch Butterfly with a marker effect. I'm proud in particular of all the dots and how they all turned out on the wings. #digitalartwork #butterfly #insects #procreate #artistsonbluesky
I just want to lay in the grass and watch bugs live their lives.
Moths are among my FAVORITE paper specimens to create, and the last of these Polyphemus moths just returned to me after inclusion in an entomology-themed show at the North Museum in PA! www.beastieandbone.com/gift-shop/pa... #paperart #vultureculture #ethicaltaxidermy #moths #sciart #entomology

I don’t like AI. It’s coarse and rough and irritating… and it gets everywhere.
I have been trying to figure out how to submit some paperwork for Bug Fest for THREE DAYS. I finally asked @charlottereads.com for help and she walked me through how to do it in about a minute. My hero.
My 70 year old roommate has the hobby of trying to scare me every morning.
Today being an adult is incredibly stressful. I have so much paperwork I have to do but at least I have an excuse to not eat my vegetables.
I guess we’re releasing an album now
Charlotte Moore-Lambert@charlottereads.com · 4w agoI sent @soundoftheforest.bsky.social a memo of me singing the Eleanor Rigby beetles lyrics y’all did and I was like “but we still have to do one for Two of Us” because of the layers of beetleness and now we’re doing the whole fucking Beatles catalog I guess, idk lol???

Beatles were right there!! We had the chance to nerd too close to the sun
Charlotte Moore-Lambert@charlottereads.com · 4w agoHUMILIATING: @soundoftheforest.bsky.social and I spent half the day recording (in separate time zones) a lil duet of The Beatles’ “Two of Us” as a fun experiment I played five seconds of it for my husband and he wanted to know why it wasn’t about actual beetles the nerds were too stunned to speak
I really get tired of doing these portraits...because it means that ICE has murdered another person...a mom, a nurse, or in this case, a hard working man who loved his family and provided jobs for other people in his community. Fuck ICE. #LorenzoSalgadoAraujo
