HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 We enjoyed #bat gazing this month. Each eats up to 18,000 insects a night, including mosquitoes. 🦇💖 Hope you enjoy some #nature this weekend! From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best.💖🔥 #empathy #TGIF #wildlife #bats #animals #animal

Meet a baby #silkworm caterpillar. 🐛 It'll get a lot bigger before its spins its cocoon of silk & then emerges as a chubby, flightless moth. Silkworms have been domesticated for thousands of years. They're fully dependent on humans to live. #empathy #insect #photography #bugs #caterpillar #pets

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 My partner @paradoxdruid.bsky.social recently posted his 1st #WIPSnips ! To help him & others I made a #StarterPack: go.bsky.app/9jrtUUb Got weekend #writing plans? From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best.💖🔥 #empathy #WritingCommunity

Happy Hump Day!🎉 I try to remind myself: Even the ones with whom I don't get along are, like me, surely only trying their best to get by. People introduced European paper wasps to the US in the 1970s. It never chose to be here. Filmed yesterday in #Colorado. #empathy #photography #nature #insect

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 Fun weekend plans? Last weekend, made #sourdough pizza. 1st time ever! Can you spot which half is for kiddos? 😅 There may be an alien bakery in my #scifi novel. 👀 😁 From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best.💖🔥 #empathy #baking #TGIF

Love our happy backyard #chickens. Checked the nesting box for eggs today & accidentally interrupted someone. 🐔 😅 😁 I'm a biologist & have always cared for far too many #pets, so it should be unsurprising that my #scifi #debutnovel is about an alien zoo!😁 More: alienzoo.org #empathy #eggs #writing

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 Hope you enjoy this video of happy Squash #Bees on my pumpkin #flowers. Got #gardening plans this weekend? From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best.💖🔥 #empathy #TGIF #pollinators #nature #animals #videos www.youtube.com/@Teisha-Rowl...

You made it past hump day! 🎉 Here's some peaceful #nature as a reward. Filmed in the #Colorado Rocky Mountains last weekend. Sometimes it helps to be reminded that we're each small, but sharing this amazing place together. 💖 Hope you enjoy some nature soon. 🌿 🌊 🌼 #mountains #river #trees #relax

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 If you're somewhere smoky, have good indoor plans? Maybe #baking? 1st time I baked focaccia. Recipe below. As a writer & baker, I now scrawl words on loaves😂 From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best.💖🔥 #empathy #bake #TGIF #sourdough

A bizarre, alien landscape!👽😮 Or is it?😂 I love exploring how up-close, #macro shots reveal easily overlooked worlds. Hope you can appreciate the little things this weekend! That all said, my #scifi novel does, in fact, use cozy, plant-based alien tech! 😂🌱💖 #solarpunk! #gardening #flowers #nature

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 Special message to fellow #bakers, from yesterday's #sourdough boule. Got #baking plans for the weekend? Also, taking loaf message requests! 😂 From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best. 💖🔥 #empathy #bake #vegan #DistractionBaking

Tried to post this video here, but too big! So linking to YouTube. Sorry! I love #plant #cuttings. Possibly too much. In this video, I share about my current cuttings. Hbu? Do you have fav plants for cuttings? Please share! #plants​ #gardening​ #solarpunk #nature youtube.com/shorts/ncsIc...

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 Special message to my #writer friends, from yesterday's #sourdough boule. ✨Also, I'm hosting a write-in tomorrow! Deets below!✨ Got #baking plans? From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best. 💖🔥 #empathy #bake #vegan #writingcommunity

Audio ON! If you seek meaning 😂 As a #biologist, I'm passionate about all lifeforms. Even the ones devouring my dear apple trees. To share how I address this internal conflict, I created this video. Humans made this mess. Let's try to humanely fix it. #bugs #nature #empathy #wildlife #colorado

Trigger warning: Video of a wild leech!🧛 Found a leech in a local #Colorado stream today. Fascinating to watch. It's specifically a European medicinal leech. Leeches are related to earthworms (they're annelids). And they also eat earthworms. 🪱 Tbh, they make cool #pets too 👀 #wildlife #nature

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 Last year, I wrote a #scifi story about an alien whose banana nut muffin obsession saves a planet. So, I baked #vegan ones today. Recipe below.* Got #baking plans? From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best. 💖🔥 #empathy #bake #alienzoo

Began to teach myself to bake last year, because I wrote a #scifi story about an alien #bakery. It serves employees of the #alienzoo, of course. Today, baked injera for the 1st time. It's essentially Ethiopian #sourdough flatbread. Easy & tasty. 🔥 Recipe below. #baking #vegetarian #vegan #bake

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 Grateful that our local #library planted some gorgeous #flowers. And I discovered an adorable camouflaged crab spider - can you spot it? From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best. 💖🔥 #empathy #nature #animals #wildlife #bugs

Happy Hump Day! 🎉 Took a little break from ragtime practice to do some silly improv on a classic and old favorite. Such a fun piece. Hope you enjoy a bit of "In The Hall of the Mountain King" by Edvard Grieg. Musical accompaniment performed by kiddo #2 on Legos. #piano #classical #pianist #music

What do you like to eat with crackers? Okay, beyond a chunk of cheese. Because we had none. Still didn't last. Baked #crackers for the 1st time. Least photogenic, but easiest, #sourdough #bake I've done. Super easy. Dips: Humus; sour cream & chives. Happy weekend, all! 😊 #baking Recipe below.

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 This is me, striving to reach the weekend. But seriously, if the world weighs on you, maybe remember this tiny tenacious sea snail. Audio of soothing waves. From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best.💖🔥 #empathy #nature #Hawaii #animals

This is me, striving to get caught up after taking a week off. 🐜 Unrelated, video filmed at Panaewa Rainforest Zoo & Gardens in #Hawaii on May 30, 2026 😂 Family of ants climbing a spiky palm tree covered in lichen & orchids. Happy Thursday! #bugs #ants #nature #empathy #wildlife #animals

I'm humbled & honored that my amateur rendition of Maple Leaf Rag inspired @bluebutterfly13.bsky.social (fellow scientist!) to learn the song! Fantastic job, Marine Mariposa! Incredible! In the words of the great #Joplin pianist Joshua Rifkin, "I wish I could play like that!" 😁💖🔥 #ragtime #piano

A special thanks to Teisha J Rowland, whose piano interpretation of Maple Leaf Rag inspired me to play it. She's currently querying her debut hopepunk novel, as stated on her profile: bsky.app/profile/teis... #piano #ragtime #scottjoplin

Baked #scones for the first time. Savory cheese & chives. 🧀 Of course, #sourdough. But shouldn't count because it was just discard! Super easy. Dire lack of clotted cream, but were buttery enough without! 🧈 Heart shaped for #Pride 💖🏳️‍🌈 Happy weekend, all! 😊 #baking #PrideMonth Recipe below.

HAPPY FRIDAY! Once again, you made it! 🎉🎉🎉 Hope to garden this weekend. Hbu? Vegetable plants aren't typically grown for their #flowers, but always grateful to spot their beauty. More below. From #Colorado, to wherever you are, wish you all the best. 💖 🔥 #empathy #photography #nature #gardening

The #WIPSnips word for June 3rd is "nectar" #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

When you give a #biologist a trip to a tropical island, they may ask to bring #seeds home. Picts from packing up today. And people wonder why I have far too many #houseplants... At least a nice record of fruit consumed in #Hawaii. Enjoyed ice cream beans & mountain apples most. #nature #gardening
