This is my thinking. I’m pro the concept of zombie entities.

Periodic reminder from someone who is STILL figuring out her health issues into her 40s. DO NOT TEACH AUTISTIC KIDS TO IGNORE THIER BODIES FOR YOUR COMFORT. DO. NOT. TEACH. AUTISTIC. KIDS. TO. IGNORE. THIER. BODIES. FOR. YOUR. COMFORT.
If y’all thought mama oak treehopper with her little nymphs was cute, just look at mama with her young adult offspring. 😍 These brightly colored new adults darken a week or two after emerging to more closely resemble their mama. I like to think of this as their rebellious teenage stage.
Acrylic painting of a phelddagrif, my contribution to a charity playmat organized by "Keukentafel MtG" in the Netherlands! 😄 The original of this will be for sale at KeukentafelMtG Fest, where I will be present for the day and available for signatures as well as playing some Sealed Draft!
“When a ceasefire is announced, I will just run. No one ask me where. I myself don’t even know. I will just run, and run. …the important thing is to arrive at a quiet place: a place that allows me to weep for a long time.”

Historic pigment alert. There's a bit of a trend in recent years for using toxic pigments again. As well as orpiment, there's realgar (another arsenic pigment), true Naples yellow (lead antimonate), & cinnabar (mercuric sulphide). Pay actual fucken attention to safety info if you ever use them…
Nadine, Hunter of Rocks@nadwgab.bsky.social · 2y ago17 of #365Minerals 🧪⚒️ Orpiment: - An arsenic sulphide mineral, so it's toxic! - Was used as a yellow/orange pigment until safer alternatives were found - Its name comes from the Latin "auripigmentum" (gold pigment) #minerals
Clearly I am biased - but this is an elegant projection
Meet my daughters favorite bug — the blushing phantom ❤️. In the cloud forest in Ecuador, her clear wings make a little flutter of pink skip along a few meters in front of us on the hiking trails. They slowly blip along always just out of reach. This is the first I’ve gotten to cooperate for a photo
Coming inside after a brisk walk and peeling off my sweaty clothes like a moulting lizard. #Summer
January Wasp-ing in Florida is a thing. One of my favorite little nuggets, Adelencyrtus (an encyrtid, of course), made an appearance today on a fence post. Love her little shiny stripy squished face. 💚

I also suggest American friends start following reputable news sources in countries like here in Canada, or the UK, France, Australia, etc. Especially in Canada we report a lot on the US. Maybe we’ll share something you are missing.
Greg Pak@gregpak.net · 2y agoNot to be alarmist, but please be prepared for many gov services to vanish or be horribly downgraded in the months to come. While continuing to push national and local electeds to hold the line, think about non-gov groups that are supporting folks in your community and consider how to support them.

Surprise! You thought i wasn't working on anything because I wasn't sharing my usual 10,000 progress screenshots, but you were all of you deceived - I was, in fact, drawing this colourful mantis...
Bit of a weird brain day today. Had a series of really good days in a row and now crashing into what feels like a depressive hole. Hoping that I just need a few days to recover energy and balance brain chemicals.
Did you know we're all placed onto different Bluesky servers, and they're named after mushrooms?? You can find out what mushroom server you're on by looking yourself up on Clearsky clearsky.app I'm team oyster mushroom. 🦪🍄
I can finally share this now that it’s finished! My embroidered Tie Dye Stegosaurus! #Embroidery #Dinosaur #Art #SciArt
Been a little quiet as I’ve been recovering from an awful sunburn that has completely wiped me out. Entirely my own fault. That Australia sunshine is no joke. #Melbourne #Australia
A little work in progress! Even works for todays #Januarty prompt: tool! Lately a needle has been my tool of choice. #Embroidery #Art #SciArt #TieDye
