Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 8hExtremely not allowed to not draw the book you were hired to draw 130
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 8hThis week was the kind of week I was afraid of when I signed the book deal. I need to make 45 drawings by Friday. Tonight is a volunteer event for prepping native seeds. Wednesday = teen art club. Friday is the ca-BUG-aret. Saturday we’re unveiling a mural & I need to prep for that. I’m toast man 111002
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 9hThe show is running at Space 1026 from now until the 30th (844 Broad St)! 0303
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 9hIt’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 416616

Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 19hMy house also does not have a yard, but I put a bunch of pots out front and loaded them up with native plants. We had monarchs lay eggs and caterpillars become butterflies there this summer. Invasive and beautiful are two independent variables, but native plants are way better for the ecosystem. 140
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 23hit's all good, we have 3 more after tomorrow. 030
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 23hIt's tomorrow, but it filled up, so I hid it on the event page. I can only fit so many volunteers in the diner 130
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 23hUhhh floral sorta. Like... not feed store earthy, definitely a interesting planty smell. 030
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 23hLegitimately funny how many people suggested Mola Mola when it was the second on the list. The people need more mola. 230
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 23hI sleep a square 8-9 hours a night but I do desperately need a full day off. Like badly. Writing a book this year is pushing me over the edge from happily busy to mentally busted 😅 170

We need your voices. Urgently. 10799402
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Make sure they see these opinions! Posting on LinkedIn and Instagram and/or directly sending to them via email would be excellent. 010

Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Every time I need a rectangle when making a graphic, my brain says "Rectangle" in Ron Swanson's voice, which is inevitably followed by him saying "America! Megaphone! Monday! ...Butthole... 😏" Like, every time. 5701
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I’m hopeful about the Sternberg. They have a dollar amount and they’re on their way there. Still obviously needs a lot of yelling and support but I believe in them! 152
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Save-the-academy.org has a whole list of news coverage over the last month. The whyy article from today or yesterday does a nice job tackling this. Not the whole story but a good part of it. 1193

Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 03/10/2026not "on here" unfortunately. Linkedin, Instagram, both good places for statements. Email too. I think there's something about a barrage of PUBLIC statements that's helpful here. 141

Reposted by Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D.Joshua Lüdtke @joshualudtke.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I'm not saying that we need to call out Drexel University leadership, but, they need to know that the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia needs to be kept open as a publicly available and accessible museum. So call them into a conversation about how they are making a bad decision right now. 04012

Secure a year of bridge funding, appoint an independent commission, and give the public a real role in the Academy’s future. 119888
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Thank you!! We heard public pressure has been effective. Any chance you’d post this to Instagram publicly tagging Drexel? 150
Sarah McAnulty, Ph.D. @sarahmackattack.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Write a statement as a lab. Have your students sign it too. Science is eroding, public science ed. worst of all. If we shrug our shoulders & say “bummer”, nothing will improve. I know you’re tired. The slog of misery is exhausting. But I’m begging you to use your voice for the people of my city. 114021
