A limited number of crab and frog facts advent calendars are now available at SquidFacts.net! These need to be made by hand, so we’ve been phasing them out but I was very lucky to have some help this week making some more in the lead up to December. Get ‘em while they’re here! SquidFacts.net

I appreciate this! The zine we’re working on is missing a back page and has misaligned text so it does need a little work before showing you all though 😂

Just when I thought we were making progress on elevating the cultural cache of squid. This. In my own neighborhood no less.

My audience tends to nitpick finished pieces (unsolicited), so I do not trust them with WIP shots when I’m already this tired and low on patience 😅

I have an almost-done coloring zine to hand out to kids this weekend at our mural unveiling, but it’s not QUITE ready. It’s always such a struggle to not show you the half baked mess version. It starts to take shape and I get so excited

The halloween coloring book is coming together (I hand out some kind of science/nature thing every year at halloween for trick or treaters).

At the event tonight @gracebakes.bsky.social and I realized that this diner has a perfect setup for speed dating then we immediately realized... Seed Dating. Pack up seeds while speed dating. I gotta run it by Sulimay's.

This week was the kind of week I was afraid of when I signed the book deal. I need to make 45 drawings by Friday. Tonight is a volunteer event for prepping native seeds. Wednesday = teen art club. Friday is the ca-BUG-aret. Saturday we’re unveiling a mural & I need to prep for that. I’m toast man

It’s funny seeing my street art in a gallery space. This show’s theme is “All Art is Political”. The show includes everything from direct commentary on our fascist state to biodiversity pieces and a lot in between. Seems people are more likely to pull stuff on a street pole than in here though lol

My house also does not have a yard, but I put a bunch of pots out front and loaded them up with native plants. We had monarchs lay eggs and caterpillars become butterflies there this summer. Invasive and beautiful are two independent variables, but native plants are way better for the ecosystem.

It's tomorrow, but it filled up, so I hid it on the event page. I can only fit so many volunteers in the diner

Legitimately funny how many people suggested Mola Mola when it was the second on the list. The people need more mola.

I sleep a square 8-9 hours a night but I do desperately need a full day off. Like badly. Writing a book this year is pushing me over the edge from happily busy to mentally busted 😅

I never tire of “None for me, thanks, I’m driving” when turning anything down. (Best deployment: an elderly friend offered me some of her lipstick during a funeral. She absolutely lost it.)

Morning glories are invasive but you gotta give credit where credit is due, they’re making this vacant lot look good today.

If you are part of an academic society or a professor of any kind, public statements that you do not condone Drexel cutting off the academy of natural sciences from the public of Philadelphia is very important right now. We need your voices. Urgently.
