Blue lobster from Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Herbst’s ‘Versuch Einer Naturgeschichte Der Krabben und Krebse Nebst Eiener Systematischen Beschreibung Ihrer Verschiedenen Arten.’ Zürich: Berlin: J.C. Fuessley; G.A. Lange, 1782. University of Chicago Special Collections. #sciart #naturalhistory
I love how much paratextual information accumulates on an old scientific report. Here we see at least 3 or 4 different layers of document history before it became the Biodiversity Heritage Library's canonical scan
Man, biological illustration is an artform of its own. And Biodiversity Heritage Library has thousands of examples. @biodivlibrary.bsky.social
"As regards coloration, the species is one of the most beautiful." The Peloponnesian Lizard, Lacerta peloponnesiaca, illustrated by James Green in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London (1911). www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/31251864
The exact same details can be rewritten: "Imagine a single small cruise ship filled with 900 people. By taking *some* wealth away from just one little ship, we'll be able to give millions of Americans multi-thousand-dollar checks."
Not all STEM guys, ofc. But anybody who’s ever worked in, say, education, humanities, health care, etc can tell you that they’ve met their share of STEM guys who are under the impression that they could just effortlessly pivot to your field if they wanted to do so
A German court has ruled that Google is liable for the false statements generated by its AI Overviews feature. The ruling could have massive impacts on the world's biggest search engine, which recently doubled down on giving users AI-generated results. www.wired.com/story/a-cour...

Elon is not a trillionaire, he is not rich. He holds a trillion imaginary dollars because all the business majors in America told him that's how many invisible dollars he has. Net worth is bullshit. You're not rich unless you have TREASURE. I don't mean high value cars or property, I mean doubloons.
Elon Musk having “a trillion dollars” doesn’t really mean anything except that the stock market is underregulated to such an extent that one morally insane capitalist can contaminate the entire global economy
What's he supposed to do? NOT take orders from Israel? That blackmail's not gonna protect itself.

Found an old (unfinished) huevember piece back in 2023 that I still like... the lineweight has a nice feel and it kinda makes me miss drawing like this
it's my birthday today!! 🥳 As a treat, I'd appreciate if you shared the lil original animated short I'm directing (and maybe consider supporting?)! It's about a ghostpup and a witch! 👻 #art #animation #original
The version I made my friends. Then the version I made to post online to look somewhat professional.
