One week until my carbon dust course starts. There are still some spots available. This technique combines drawing and ‘painting’ using a dry brush to apply layers of ground dust to achieve realistic 3D illustrations. #SciArt, #NaturalScienceIllustration #CarbonDust

this exists it is called thinking

Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Important: today my cat did a 10/10 perfect loaf and followed it up with a little shrimp pose. 🍤

Lucy, a black cat with green eyes, sits in with her little feeties tucked under her like a loaf of bread, looking directly at the camera.

A top down photo of the same black cat laying on her side with her head tucked and her back feet curled around her like a shrimp. She is a perfect beautiful creature. The very tip of her tail is white, like a magicians wand.

As we enter fall, it's so important that we tell everyone to leave those leaves! Mads Torres designed a poster to help us. Lightning bugs are one of the most charismatic insects we've got. Actions we take to protect them protects many insects! Get some to hang in your neighborhood! Squidfacts.net

A poster hanging on a brick wall that says Leave your leaves for lightning bugs! with lightning bugs on new purple asters . There's too-small-to-read text in a box with the heading Lightning bugs are struggling to survive, help them thrive by taking these actions

Hey so uh, dozens of countries refusing to ship anything to the US, that’s pretty bad right? Like not in a consumerism way but in a no-contact-with-the-outside-world way? At the same time he’s occupying cities? And Internet ID laws? That’s all pretty bad, right? Right?

I finally had a chance to hatewatch the Ice Cube vehicle War of the Worlds and it is hypnotically bad. Amazon product placement? Bad. Out of date references? Bad. Written when they assumed NASA would still exist and women would work there? Bad. Just terrible all around. A must watch.

We're definitely entering an era where the Internet is so hollowed out, so untrustworthy and compromised, that real world interactions, things identifiably done by human beings, will take on greater value and purpose.

We've got 35 sets of these posters left. This project came from my evergreen frustration with our important messages getting trapped on social media algorithms. Good stuff for posting on your local community bulletin board, classroom, office door, etc! squidfacts.bigcartel.com/product/scie...

4 12x18 inch posters on a brick and concrete wall. The top left is pink and says funding science saves lives, written in microbes, next to a microscope. The one on the right says Biology is bigger than binaries, with a fish, a lily, and a bee. The bottom left says Protecting wildlife starts wtih you, with a bunch of adiorable woodland creatues in yellow, white and black, including an owl, fungi, a... um. weasel? salamanders, butterflies, slugs, and a rotting log. The bottom right says Will our oceans thrive or nosedive the choice is yours, with the ocean represented in a circle, half of which is dead and half of which is alive, including kelp and a mackerel

The right hates bodily autonomy because it wants your body to be a curse. To a fascist the body is just a big bag of things that they can use to sort you into one of the two categories: “person who matters” and “prey”. If you take power over the accident of your birth, they’re fucked.

I lived in MacArthur park when I was 20 and the worst thing that ever happened was this pigeon that would dive bomb your head when you walked by its nest. That bird was relentless, it got me and all my roommates on a regular basis. The best thing was the lady selling tamales door to door. Fuck ICE.

The other animal feeds have thousands of likes, but the invertebrates feed only has around 600. Invertebrates are roughly 95% of all animal species on this planet, so they should have millions of likes to be properly proportionate to those other, less diverse animals. bsky.app/profile/did:...

I feel like a one-trick pony lately. All of my archival energy is going towards the first lecture in the Indelible Identities series. This page is from the introduction essay on the history of Queer tattooing- the final image is from NYC's TRON - part of the future of queer representation in tattoo.
