I have a shiny new address on Northsky! I think it's very appropriate since I actually have an 'N' for north tattooed on my finger. Thanks to @whistberry.northsky.social for making me aware of Northsky and @transrights.northsky.social for accepting me!

So we're back to having to individually invent the wheel because we can no longer find accurate instructions that aren't buried or corrupted by AI. I'm so sick of this.

Happy #CtenophoreDay! 🦑🐙🧪 I’m an equal-opportunity cteno celebratory so I observe both October 4th and April 10th when it comes to appreciating our shared cousins that have been out doing their own thing for hundreds of millions of years.

You’re invited! To celebrate your most distant animal cousins you may not even have heard of… text is rainbow and surrounded by gooey transparent animals with rainbows running down their bodies

CTENOPHORES sometimes pronounced
"Ten-oh-fours
are phylum of marine invertebrates that use little plates of hair called ctenes to swim and/or create currents to bring food to them. Their beating ctenes bend the light, causing rainbows to dance down their body

We celebrate ctenophores on October 4th and on April 105) because their name sounds like 10/04 (ten oh four)

Participating in #Docktober on Ctenophore Day? Join the iNat project and add any ctenos you find from the docks. QR code linking to the project ctenophore day 2026 flanked by two photos of ctenos - a feather boa cydippid and a Haeckelia rubra

I made up my own #bugtober list because I felt like it, before I knew there were others out there, and also because I want to draw these. Feel free to use/gain inspiration from! #sciart #drawtober #drawingprompts

#InverteFest announcement: The December art book will be our 8th and last edition. We've been doing this since 2024 but my real life responsibilities have changed. We might revive the idea in the future in one form or another, but no promises. If you want in, this is your last chance.

Sleep deprivation from perimenopause insomnia is brutal. Yesterday I dropped my phone and now it has two annoying, permanent bright dots on the screen. Today I dropped my soju and spilled it all over the floor before I even had a sip. Only another 5-10 years more to go!

I don't need a clock to know it's morning in Asia because my phone starts lighting up with Pokemon GO gift notifications from all my Asian GO friends. I love it. More scatterbugs for me! Most of my North American GO friends are deadbeats though, they hardly ever exchange gifts.

I've noticed an alarming number of large tree branches that have broken off in my neighborhood parks this summer, wind has nothing to do with it. I can't help think the drought from climate change is responsible. I've never seen anything like this in summertime before.

I would like to point out that the local people in Bolivia were already familiar with the new cat species, traditionally calling it "Tilcayo", a name honored by the scientists who carried it over into the formal scientific name Leopardus tilcayo.

This is a fantastic image for #InverteFest because it shows how tragically underrepresented invertebrates are, yet how massively they outnumber vertebrates, which get far more attention. We joke about vertebrate bias, but it's real!

I have Prius so I use very little gas, but since I live only a mile from a light rail station in Seattle I often walk and take the train. But there are a lot of places just a little too far to walk from the stations, so I just ordered an electric seated scooter and I am so excited to cruise Seattle!

Hey @doodl-app.bsky.social, tomorrow's prompt really isn't okay. Spirit animals are reserved for Native Americans, we don't have a right to claim them. Please change it.

Today's Doodl prompt was to draw a slice of fruit, but I was inspired by those old paintings of fruit and flowers that had lots of bugs. And while I was drawing, an aphid (I think) decided to supervise. #Invertebrates

I honestly don't know at this point whether I continue to use invertebrates for nearly every Doodl prompt is devotion, obsession or illness. At any rate, today's prompt was something organic made to look technological, so I drew a mechanical caterpillar. #Invertbrates
