Bemused at all the people suddenly following me, so uhh.
Hi? Here's some things to know.
I swear a lot. If you're offended by words like wankspangled knobcockle, I'm not for you.
I post many moths & other bugs. I talk/yell about alt text, chronic life, pencils, & paint. I post paint-making a lot…

We do NOT give up on Palestinian life, right? Every share helps reach someone who can chip in. Six families & a displacement camp depend on this link for:
- Three health emergencies (e.g., a high-risk pregnancy!)
- Food in famine
- Shelter in homelessness

Want to help trans people access their healthcare?
We've produced these kits in Nashville, Austin, and LA.
Right now we're pushing to complete 1,000 more in 4 additional cities before the end of the year. All in collaboration with trans-led groups who distribute directly to their communities.

Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.
@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.
Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

These guys are all over the East Coast of the US and they make great terrarium pets. a little dirt, a little eggshell, a little veggie scraps, they will have babies and show you lots of shell pattern variation
A pleasingly round and stripey snail.
The variations in background colour and stripes on its shell have been studied by geneticists and ecologists.
We salute your contributions to science, little snail pal!

Beach colour doodles. Made by wetting soft ochrey pebbles & rubbing them with a flint to release colour.
Used sticks, rolled up paper, other pebbles, fingers etc as brushes.
Will scan some of these tomorrow when I'm back home with Kitty & the cats. Just wanna share how to doodle with pebbles. 🪨 🖌️

Quick PSA: if you're collecting mud for pigment:
AWA checking tides, hazard warnings, SSSI status, & coastal protection orders…
Also check for PSPOs to restrict some beach activities.
(No getting tanked up on cheese, marmite, & sriracha toasties and causing art all over the parish for me today.)

Your regular reminder that the number of trans kids using puberty blockers to delay puberty is tiny, and the vast majority of prescriptions for the medication in children and adolescents are used to delay precocious puberty in cisgender kids.
Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.
