An Abyssinian roller that is also a little book. It begins: “Why is a roller like a writing desk? The need for fire and acacia, both. One for blood - the other, ink.” Written in India ink. - #SciArtSeptember Day 30: Carbon

A painted, cut-out paper bird in the shape of an Abyssinian roller. The bird has one wing folded back, which reveals a small booklet of pages under the wing. The underwing is brown and has uneven letters painted on it in another shade of brown reading, “Some small words about the medium of carbon.” The booklet pages are bright blue, like the bird, and the words inside are unclear. The bird rests on a wooden table top.

Trans people are a part of nature's beauty. 💐 You all know I LOVE my floral symbolism, so here's a bit about the flowers I included in my latest this trans joy illustration! There's so much thought I put into this. 🧵 #QueerArt #FloralArt #Flowers #Trans #TransArt

A close up of a painted white flower with five large petals, surrounding a yellow stemmy center. A slightly hairy leg intersects the background.

A close up of the turquoise jade vine flower, a multipronged flower with many turquoise offshoots. A detailed watercolor painted magenta lace decorates the background.

A close up of a watercolor painted set of speckled pink flowers, with a long bell shape to them and small green tips. A hint of another white flower is in the corner, along with a blue flower in the background, and Nico's straight black hair.

The speckled pink flowers are Spotted Bellflowers, which can be found across East Asia. Most importantly, it is a dualsex flower, representing the other character (Gabriel's) multigender experience, along with Nico's body (being a man with top surgery, while retaining the ability to give birth).

Digital painting of a gorgon lounging on a brown sofa. Her snakes are giant burmese pythons that seem to be about as much mass as herself. She is wearing white pants and white tanktop and has a lot of golden jewelry.

There’s always going to be someone better, faster, and more skilled than I. But no one is going to have the same artistic voice as mine. Creating isn’t a competition, it’s a form of communication and connection. It’s a vulnerable thing, but it’s beautiful that way.

A tiny shadowbox about animals with blue blood. In these animals, oxygen binds to copper-based molecules, not iron. The turquoise beads also get their blue colour from copper. - #SciArtSeptember Day 23: Copper

A small, shallow box containing copper foil art of a horseshoe crab, an octopus, and a cuttlefish. The foil art is mounted on blue fabric. Around the foil animals are eight blue beads.

Our fantastic exhibits team put together a gorgeous mini-exhibit to highlight the CMNH’s most famous insect, “that spooky moth from Silence of the Lambs”

A lone plinth, topped by a jewel case, highlighted by a ceiling-mounted spotlight, holding some bugs. At left, you can see the wall projection of some of Adrian Smith’s fantastic insect flight videos.

Within the display is an adult death’s head hawkmoth, an inflated caterpillar of same, a PUPA of same, and the “stunt pupa” prop used in the movie with a secret tube to squirt out nasty goo when sliced into. It’s probably from a Manduca.

Dessin réalisé à l'encre noire et aux crayons de couleurs d'un sphinx gazé vu de dessus, les ailes étendues. Il a le corps brun clair avec des bandes rouges sur le milieu de l'abdomen. Les ailes sont en grande partie transparentes, avec des bandes rouges également, notamment aux extrémités. Les antennes sont noires et élargies aux extrémités.

Dammit, the Moon is doing a spectacular thing and as usual, it will not fit in my camera at all.

View over tan plains with cholla and distant blue mountains. The sky is blue but pink where the Belt of Venus hits. The moon is vanishing into clouds that cannot be seen as anything but the same shade of blue, and thus looks like a lidded eye.

Herpetology is very much a white and male field because of racism. There's no getting around that. Historically and presently Black people were/are not seen as knowledge holders and contributors by the academy.
