Hi! Nice to meet you. I like to make stuff.

I made a library of zines, and also, some zines!

jkzinelibrary.carrd.co

I "sell" some of my art in exchange for donations to Project HOPE:

offeringstable.carrd.co

I like reading books with people about important things:

it is sort of interesting watching Europe try to thread the needle of “Greenland belongs to its people” and “well it actually belongs to Denmark”

When you finally write up the paper with the revised taxonomy you name the species Latimeria chalumnae - after Marjorie Courtney-Latimer, who had seen it 14 years ago and thought: well that's weird, better draw a picture of it.

I don't care whether you're a professional with 8 years of work experience or a literal 8 year old who just thinks bugs are neat.

All that matters is you're having fun drawing critters and want to share that with the world.

People keep telling me they're "not good enough to submit" - I say, we don't gatekeep skill levels.

Sure, I use the books to scout for artists to hire/forward projects to, but our goal is to *encourage people to celebrate nature*.

This is why I insist on having kid & amateur artists each season.
We present: The Art of #InverteFest - December 2025 Edition
A digital art book showcasing the work of 100 artists from around the world, in celebration of overlooked invertebrate fauna.

Thank you to the artists who contributed to our book!

It's the 3rd of January 1939, your name is professor James Smith and you are staring at a drawing of a fish. It's not a regular fish. It is a completely impossible fish.

It's good to use the resources at hand to fight because sometimes you win. Also, I keep thinking of the period after this man was killed and how a group of people tried to impose a new social reality. It didn't work. This too is a lesson.

Today is one of those days where I’m struck anew by how *bad* the internet has gotten. It’s almost unusable. Clouds, apps, advertising — nothing is where it should be and it’s nigh impossible sometimes to do basic tasks online.

I'm trying to get a better handle on digital painting, and I want it to feel like painting. So I'm picking from my 'to sculpt/draw' list and just trying. First up, an Asian Green Land Snail based on a photo. I thought they were enchanting!

Procreate, one layer.

Hi #QueerWritersChat! I have a very personal book of queer Deep Time poetry that I’m really proud of: Time Travel Is Easy. I’ll be releasing it wide soon, but for now, it’s available on the Evil River Site:

I have a graveyard of them around my house. I don't mind paying for the better chains when you're set up for it (i got POINTS to spend eh). Maybe the new ones won't yank my hair so much too which would be worth it right there ✨️

I love getting the local paper. There’s no comments section, I get to donate the papers to the herbarium or the parrot rescue after, and you get gems like today’s front-page story.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery
my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

That's basically what happens to most jobs that should be neat, isn't it ☠️ I am unsurprised, I suppose.
