I can’t anymore but I used to rely on the adrenaline to hyper focus my brain into submission. So if I estimated a thing would take 5 hours to complete, go time was 4.5 hours before the deadline and I would crank like my life depended on it. It worked… until it didn’t.

Publication seems a REALLY long way off, but do reach out if you'd like to schedule a book signing, talk, reading, podcast interview, exhibition, or any combination of the above to help get A New Unfeathered Bird off to a flying start next year. 'A celebration of all birds, across all time'.

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that. Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best. Welcome home, Integrity crew!

#Artemis II lunar flyby images are showing up! 😍 A crescent Earth setting behind the Moon.
Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region.  In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks. Central peaks form in complex craters when the lunar surface, liquefied on impact, splashes upwards during the crater’s formation.

i find it interesting and very informative!! would never have occurred to me but if you don’t have a weird agenda (to disprove science or something dumb), the question is a fine one since our only experience with even half of 1000mph (airplanes) is clearly zipping along. thx!!!

🐡🌎 I was wondering where all the PFAS floss went in my state!!! A win for the environment… and a loss for this series 😂 Whoops! Guess I’m done when my PTFE floss stash is exhausted 🤓 Not a bad way to end it 💪

Most dental floss contains PFAS. But PFAS are linked to serious health conditions. Colorado, Maine, Minnesota, & Vermont have already banned the sale and distribution of PFAS-containing dental floss. Good news: more bans are coming stateside. 🎨 Use Less/ Useless by @eyeforscience.bsky.social

I honestly think this is happening - I’m seeing so many textile and craft techniques in a broad array of very serious high brow art. So there’s that.

That said, I can think of two very successful artists off the top of my head who are directly addressing this and avoiding dismissal: Kevin Sloan and Marc Dennis. I will note that they are both men. I have not seen a woman get away with it.

soooo interesting, Glendon!! And a huge reason I turned away from representational work in my sciart. Never articulated it but I wanted to avoid the trite dismissal that instantly relegates representation to the cheezeball bin.

Expansive, insightful and astonishing essay here by @patrlynch1.bsky.social. Capturing the fine art world’s failure to exalt animal subjects during a mass extinction, as well as the utilitarian role sci illustration has been pushed into. I will be thinking about this #SciArt essay for some time.

Was thinking earlier today how the art materials industry is still in thrall to early-factory Industrial period norms (“bristle brush for oil, soft for watercolour”) influenced by the Impressionist era. Knowledge grows so quickly but norms are moribund an slow to change. 🐡🎨

The pinning begins!! Got my tags (will need soooooo may more), finished my design, transfered it to pattern pages over the last two days and so now I get to the fun part: piecing and sewing. New projects are always so exciting!! #quilt #quilting

yes, agree! It’s just crazy to see the volume and some of it is never even worn (think t-shirt schwag from random events). But it’s nice to have a use for old sheets, trashed kid clothes, pants with blown out knees/bums, etc. The company is called Ridwell. Fighting a good fight

ever wondered what you throw away in a year? A friend collected her family’s thin plastic packaging for me for an entire year. The resulting quilt I made is 26-ft wide by 26-ft long at its longest. Always open to collecting someone else’s for a different window into our waste! 🐡🌎 must be CLEAN 🪤🐭

currently working on expanding this art infographic showing 75+ years of global plastic production - Each quilt represents the amt of virgin #plastic we produced worldwide in a given year. 8 data points take up 18ft of wall—when I show it in 2027 in Tulsa it will be MUCH bigger!! #sciart 🐡🌎
Induced Demand by Kalliopi Monoyios. An art infographic consisting of 8 large circular quilts made from single use plastic. Each quilt is sized according to how may million metric tons of plastic were produced globally in a given year. Each quilt has a colorful center with a thick white border — the color represents approximately 35-40% that was destined for packaging, shorthand for single-use.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.
