it’s been a while since I’ve made a shirt design but I’m hoping to release these celebrate invert biodiversity tees soon 👀 + totes if there’s interest!
The new Nepenthes bag is coming soon! I spent so much time working with the manufacturer on the sample, and now I’m finally happy with it! It will be a perfect bag for our bug friends, and totally safe for them😉 I am expecting the whole batch to be done and available in September! 💚

I have only drawn a handful of dry and wet isopods over the last few #Invertober years, but they are good goobies

5 billion years ago on the other site I tagged you when I used your non native budleja butterfly comic to showcase the dumbass red bummed bumblebees that get stuck in our malaise ethanol traps even WITH the bug size filter on I think of that comic all the time when I see non-natives lol

The #Srebrenica massacre occurred in 1995, claiming thousands of lives in #Bosnia and Herzegovina during the war against Serbia. The #massacre in #Gaza continues, claiming not thousands, but tens of thousands of lives in what is considered one of the worst #genocides in history.
More than 500 activists set out from Bosnia and Herzegovina, aboard 17 buses and dozens of vehicles on a humanitarian convoy to the border of Palestine. The convoy is calling for international attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the West Bank. The convoy has now reached Turkey.

A company in Mexico hired a stray orange cat as its Emotional Support Director and named him “Miauricio.” Daily duties include roaming the workplace, delivering smiles & reducing stress levels. He has his own workspace and ID badge. #AGoodPlace
I made this wet cyanotype while on vacation with things I found in and around the cabin: ferns of various species, water droplets, vinegar and salt. Then when I got home I added the linocut moths. minouette.etsy.com/listing/4542... #printmaking #linocut 🧪🐡 #cyanotype #moth #fern
