Happy October & #KidLitArtPostcard day! Halloween on a weekday meant one of my favorite things... the school costume parade! 🎃 More of my work here: emilyasarodoodles.com Represented by @essiewhite.bsky.social #kidlitart #illlustration #halloweenart #picturebookart

Watercolor and ink illustration of a group of elementary school kiddos lined up for the Halloween costume parade. They are in various costumes: a witch, an octopus, a ladybug, a shark, a batwing sandwich, a pizza slice, a cheese grater, a bunch of grapes, a bee and a vampire (eating candy corn.)

It’s provincial election time. Did you know funding for public libraries in BC has been stagnant since 2010? The NDP has not increased it in 9 years in power. Will any political parties be so bold as to propose funding libraries in their platform? buttondown.com/leftcoastdis... #bcpoli

Week 24 and it was back out on the butterfly transect today. Just like the rest of Southern England there's Clouded Yellows everywhere, what a year we're having, with 10 helice spotted. Larva and eggs found as well. Only a few Whites and 2 Painted Lady seen for other species. Southbourne Dorset

Delighted this huge team effort is out! By surveying >20,000 people from >100 countries, we used to butterflies to show that aesthetic biases distort scientific research & environmental policy. Understanding this bias is a key step towards more balanced decision-making 🦋 www.doi.org/10.1016/j.cu...

It’s week 24 of the @ukbms.bsky.social recording season and Clouded Yellows are steaming ahead of their rivals for perhaps the first time ever in Dorset. Huge numbers on some transects last week, 50++
