New Merch Alert!! Fish. The ocean's full of 'em. And protecting the ocean is a global job, so we better learn the word for fish in as many languages as we can fit on a tote bag. Support @skypeascientist.bsky.social by getting a *sturdy* tote bag with a zipper (with a zipper!!!) at SquidFacts.net

It’s funny seeing my street art in a gallery space. This show’s theme is “All Art is Political”. The show includes everything from direct commentary on our fascist state to biodiversity pieces and a lot in between. Seems people are more likely to pull stuff on a street pole than in here though lol

Last night & this morning, the headline isn’t about the top-down decision. It’s about the will of the people of Philadelphia. It’s about what the kids of our city deserve, and the path forward, back to an open public museum. Don’t let people in perceived power dictate the story. The power is ours.

Two articles from the Philly voice and CBS, with headlines “academy
Of natural sciences is closed, but the fight for the museum continues” and “protesters push Drexel
To accept funding to keep the museum at academy
Of natural sciences open”

By the time the museum closed its doors on Sunday, the press had changed its tune. Hey hang on a minute. This does not have to happen. We can have better for our city.

Two headlines, one saga academy of natural sciences closed its doors but it may not be gone forever” and “the doors of rhe academy of natural sciences closed an hour ago. Is this really how it’s going to end?” With pictures of the protest and a crowded museum

Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

September 1 was the day the news was delivered that they planned to close the museum. Press printed the story that the museum was closing. This could have been the end of The story. But the people of Philadelphia resoundingly rejected the proposal, despite having no “official” seat at the table.

Two headlines, “philadelphias academy of natural sciences
Museum to
Close after nearly 200 years” and “academy of natural sciences of Drexel u to close museum on Sept 30”, each with pics of the museum from the outside and dinosaur ball

We took the protest to an event where we knew the Drexel board would be tonight and I blasted a bullhorn directly into the door crack of the gathering, disrupting the event 💅 Drexel President Anthony Merlo was supposed to be there but a person slipped to us that he canceled 👀 gosh I wonder why.
