A tote bag with a bunch of freak ass fish including the mola mola, barreled, gulper eel, and viperfish, with fish in a bunch of languages. The words on the graphic say freaky

Natural history museums are at an inflection point that started with the auctioning of dinosaurs. If Fort Hays State (Sternberg) or Drexel (Acad.Nat.Sci.) think they can monetize collections (i.e., sell natural history specimens); museums become safety deposit boxes instead of research institutes.

How a plant selfie in Colombian jungle led to ‘jaw dropping’ giant waterlily find
Species with leaves large enough to be seen from space is already critically endangered – and plans are afoot to protect it A chance social media encounter has led to the race-against-time discovery of a new species of giant waterlily that has until now been hidden in the depths of Colombia’s jungle. But the plant, which is so huge it is visible from space, is already considered critically endangered. Continue reading...

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Pen and watercolor 

Cowboys again. This time one of our boys has lost his boots. Standing in a field of long grass the cowboy points towards the ground and shouts back to his colleague, “Lil bone people got muh boots.” This makes no sense to the other cowboy who sits atop his horse away from the action. He responds, “Lil wut?” Sure enough in the foreground we see a squad of little bone people scampering through the grass with the stolen cowboy boots. They’re thrilled. How the bone people got the boots off the cowboy is unclear.

Artist’s note: I tend to draw drawings from the same perspective (straight on) most of the time. This idea came about when I was goofin around trying to draw a character from a lower angle. I like that the story unfolds with the foreground, mid-ground, and background all working together. There’s a draft of this one included in the Spooky Pants book. Coming out next week!

A lot of people fell into the trap of "if I like it, it must be morally correct. If I dislike it, it must be morally incorrect" and rather than see that as the fucking stupid and egocentric position it was and growing up, they just constructed more elaborate prisons around the concept.

4 freak-ass fish illustrated on a tote bag. We got a barreleye, a mola mola, a gulper eel, and a viperfish

I posted this last week without comment, but I'm going to comment now. The people who established the system of museums in the West had a very specific reason for doing so: they thought that having an appreciation for the wonders of the world was absolutely necessary for being a good citizen.

This is very neat, and a little bit of #queer history / culture. Alan Turing, the father of modern computing, wrote racy gay short stories with him as the protagonist. The story stems from his 1951 sexual encounter, which led to his arrest. 🧪🏳️‍🌈

I do think we need to be careful. I am fully behind Palestinian liberation, and stopping the genocide being done to them by the state of Israel. However, I see some clear transitioning from "antizionism" to full antisemitism that I am in not on board with. It makes me hesitate to support.
