Finally, please share this message with others and ask to do the same. Philadelphia means the world to me and our culture is a great part of that and it hurts to no end that my university would do this to us. Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a good day.

Petition to Keep the Academy of Natural Sciences Open to the Public

However, even after 3 weeks, nothing has changed. The final day to see the museum at the Academy of Natural Sciences is Sunday, 27 September 2026, and its doors will close for the foreseeable future after that. As such, I am writing here to request help to prevent the closure of this museum.

Skye Trickster @skyetrickster.dev · 25/09/2026

The decision to close the museum so quickly has blindsided our great city of Philadelphia, giving us little recourse to open that dialogue for a solution nor much of a chance to see it one last time. It has also destroyed the trust in Drexel University as a whole.

100

Skye Trickster @skyetrickster.dev · 25/09/2026

Even worse, the decision to close the museum has been taken without much input on the wider community in Philadelphia nor any option for the city to find any solution to the acclaimed problems of foot traffic and operating costs.

100

Skye Trickster @skyetrickster.dev · 25/09/2026

Not only is this a monumental blow to the culture and community here in Philadelphia, but closing its doors to the public is a blow to the greater scientific and historian community in a city that prides itself in our rich history and lovely museums.

Skye Trickster @skyetrickster.dev · 25/09/2026

However, on 1 September, 2026, the President of Drexel University has announced that the museum will be closing its doors at the end of this month. You can read their statement in full here: ansp.org/learn/Journa...

The Academy of Natural Sciences will be closing its museum at the end of September, but preserving its research and collections mission.

The Academy of Natural Sciences hosts a 200+ year old museum that is home to 19 million artifacts and beautiful exhibits, including the dinosaur fossil that started the fossil rush, a beautiful butterfly exhibit, and specimens of native plants during Lewis and Clark's expedition.

Skye Trickster @skyetrickster.dev · 25/09/2026

Before I begin, I want to stake my claim here. If you don't know me, I am a Philadelphia native and a Drexel Alumni with a background in computer science and technology. Until now, I have been proud to call myself a Drexel Dragon and look back at my time there fondly. That changes this month.

Skye Trickster @skyetrickster.dev · 25/09/2026

On 30 September, 2026, the museum at the Academy of Natural Sciences will be closing its doors to the public. Drexel University announced the closure on 1 September, giving residents of Philadelphia only 4 weekends to see it for the last time. Here is why this matters:

That was a fun quiz. Unfortunately, I am not filled with DETERMINATION. I know these things are just supposed to be fun and not "technically" accurate but considering that I went out of my way to help TWO people out of their situations, I think it fits.

A result from the quiz given in the quoted post. It shows a green soul with the text: "Soul Virtues Extractor: Kindness. Green Soul. No matter how many times I got hurt, I never let that make me cruel." It shows a chart of the seven virtues with the following numbers: Kindness with 77%, Patience with 74%, Integrity with 45%, Justice with 43%, Bravery with 37%, Perseverance with 33%, and Determination with 17%.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Went to the #HandsOff protest in Philadelphia today. It was extremely packed1 I've been itching to do something for a while now so it's been so nice to finally feel like I'm a part of something! Thanks Indivisible Philadelphia for coordinating this! This is what democracy looks like!

Protesters gathered at the lawn in front of the Independence Community Center in Philadelphia. Many are holding signs, including one that has a penguin plush on it.

Protestors marching along Market Street for the Hands Off protests. Many are holding signs such as "Hands off everything good our country STANDS FOR!" and "We refuse to make America Hate Again".

More protesters gathered in front of City Hall, Philadelphia. Many of them are holding up "Hands Off" signs and are looking towards the main coordinator in the far end.

Servicing older electronics like this is really fun for me and it helps me better understand the everyday gadgets that we take for granted every day. Sometimes I wish that I got the chance to do more of it, but with the way tech goes, companies want that to happen less and less, which is a shame.

This is my New 3DS XL. Love this thing. I replaced the Circle Pad on this bad boy too; however, in doing servicing, I noticed that the battery had started to swell in it! So, it's currently out with no battery. Replacement battery incoming on Tuesday.

The insides of the New Nintendo 3DS XL. It definitely needed cleaning (which I did. Don't worry). It features the motherboard (and daughterboard), the game cart, the camera, the Circle Pad, and the processor. The ribbon cable for one set of the shoulder buttons is disconnected (I did reconnect them when putting them back together).

Friend gave me a 2DS after mine was stolen. Circle Pad has been trashed for a long time. I finally took it apart and replaced it myself yesterday! I feel so proud. Replacement battery incoming on Tuesday.

An old and worn Circle Pad for the Nintendo 2DS. It's definitely seen better days.

The insides of a 2DS, featuring the SD card reader, the game card reader, the circle pad base, and the volume rocker. Did you know that the battery of the 2DS and 3DS are being used in the Pro Controller of the Nintendo Switch? So, it should be easier to get replacement batteries for them, though you don't need to go this far deep to replace the battery.

A 2DS after it has been lightly cleaned and the Circle Pad has been replaced. It's ready to play Pokémon Sun again!
