Hey Bluesky, have you grabbed a Halloween gift yet for your doppelganger or homunculus? I'd love for you to check out my shop. Each Jeremy Creature is designed and hand-sewed by me and takes many hours to create. You can learn more about each Creature at the shop. jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art witch homunculus Ronanan. He's a weird little gray humanoid with an oblong sort of head with wobbly black eyes with wobbly gray pupils. He has a black nose, an open black grinning mouth with two sharp gray teeth. He's wearing a hand-sewn black witch hat I made for him. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's a lovely photo of Titania and Bazletazle. Titania is a fabric art black cosmic spirit with a gray moon face, twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. Her body is covered with embroidered stars of various sizes and colors. I also embroidered a couple planets. One is yellow and one is purple with a red ring. She has black twirly head wispy embroidered with a line of white stars on each one. Bazletazle is a tiny black celestial spirit with a gray moon face and four black bulbous eyes. He's covered with stars of various colors. The background of the pic is green fur.

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art ghost sisters. Bernadette is a white ghost with a gray face, large twinkly black eyes and a little frown. She has twirly head whisps that look sort of like ghostly horns. Her body is covered with hand-embroidered red flowers, along with green and red line markings.

Near her is Bloop, white ghost with a small face in the middle of her body. Her eyes are slightly different sizes and she has a little frown.

Near these two is Blaborthork the Bitter. Blaborthork is an extremely tiny ghost with starburst black eyes and a little frown.

There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's a lovely photo of Madeline. She's a white fabric art ghost, about 9 inches tall. The upper part of her body is covered with about 35 black eyes of various sizes. She has a wide grin filled with sharp white teeth. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

The Fuller Brooch, late AD 800s. The information board said ‘This large Anglo-Saxon silver brooch perhaps belonged to a high-ranking churchman, or even a nobleman from the court of King Alfred the Great (AD 871-899). Seen in the British Museum in early September. #SaxonSunday

Like his friend Francis Cadell, John Maclauchlan Milne saw the landscape of Iona in terms of pure colour. His paintings of the island (this is c1937) use a palette of bright greens, pinks, blues and mauve with touches of yellow, to capture the light.

Today's first local urgent need is Julie, who does a ton of community work in her neighborhood for families and kids. She's undergoing major dental surgery, and insurance won't pay the last $1,500. They won't do that work until it's paid, which means she can't really even eat right now.

Ruth Muskrat Bronson: Cherokee poet, author & Indigenous rights activist. + 1st guidance officer, Bureau of Indian Affairs + Exec. secretary, Nat'l Congress of American Indians + Structurally established early educational resources & legal defenses for #indigenous communities Born #OTD in 1897.

Black-and-white portrait of Ruth Muskrat Bronson (1897–1982), an influential Cherokee Nation poet, educator, and Indigenous rights activist. Taken around December 1923, when she famously presented an educational reform appeal to President Calvin Coolidge, this image carries immense historical significance for Native American self-determination. She is centered against a dark, plain studio background that draws absolute focus onto her striking presence. Bronson faces forward, looking directly into the camera lens with a calm, dignified, and unwavering gaze. Her serene yet resolute expression projects a sense of inner strength and authority. Her dark hair is woven into two long, thick braids that drape symmetrically down the front of both shoulders. She wears a traditional patterned buckskin garment featuring intricate geometric designs along the chest, sleeves, and neckline, complete with layered fringe running down her arms. Tied horizontally across her forehead is a woven, light-colored headband accented with dark, bold diamond motifs. The overall mood of the portrait is formal, respectful, and intensely focused, immortalizing Bronson as a powerful institutional champion.

We at Skype a Scientist are deeply troubled by the closure of the Academy of Natural Sciences. We urge you to contact Drexel University Leadership and Academy interim leader Trish Wellenbach to urge them to reopen the museum. President Merlo president@Drexel.edu Trish Wellenbach tw958@drexel.edu

a block of text with a statement that reads We at Skype a Scientist are deeply alarmed by the decision of Drexel University leadership and the Academy of Natural Sciences Board to close the Academy’s public museum.

Skype a Scientist is based in Philadelphia with deep roots in our city. Making science accessible, in particular for Philly’s children, is a top priority for our organization. We operate in community centers, at street festivals, and at the intersection of science and art. For the last 10 years, we have worked to engage a broader coalition of Philly residents to care for our local biodiversity.

Our program does not exist in a vacuum. The work that we do, alongside environmental education centers, our museums, classroom teachers, and more, create an ecosystem of connections with science. The loss of any part of this fragile ecosystem is detrimental. The Academy of Natural Sciences grounds biodiversity education in Philadelphia. With grand fossil halls, historical connections, and engaging exhibits, it is a place where many Philadelphians develop a love of science. Loss of access to this space cannot be tolerated.

We are living through an erosion of public education, particularly in the life sciences. Philadelphia cannot afford to lose our flagship biodiversity museum.

We call on the leaders of Drexel University and the Academy board to reverse their decision to close the Academy’s public museum. The children of Philadelphia and future generations of Philly-made scientists are counting on you.
