They’re not rumours. Krauss really is an odious, unpleasant creep who supports child abusers.

Me neither. He’s a creepy creep, and supporter of abusers. Fuck that.

And just to add- I hadn’t realised what a creep you are and have been to women, over and over again. Seriously, you’re just another one of them ‘getting away with it’ because of your connections and money. No pre-order from me.

Thanks so much for your latest YouTube post. I hadn’t quite realised just how bad Krauss is. I’ll be removing him from my website. I can surely quote instead from living people that aren’t completely repulsive fucks

Your continued support of Epstein is shameful and disgusting. You may well be a great physicist and I have used quotes from you in my science communication. I will be removing them and any support of you from here on in.

I haven’t been posting on here very much recently, but thought I’d post this photo of a Dicyrtoma fusca springtail. What a beauty…

Fucks sake. Another shameful, despicable decision by the fascistic orange shitheap in chief.

I regularly shoot at x8 and above of animals under 1mm. And genuinely, you just don’t really need 100 photo stacks. They look artificial and weird. The whole joy is to capture something real. A few photos stacked is wonderful but needs to be done sensitively.

As of last week it started to rain, finally, so I’m back!
I went out today and found this Tetranychus species of spider mite, complete with webbing, which you can just make out in the background. A stunningly beautiful colour. I can still take photos, which is a relief.
