Today is April 8th, a rather important day for the account. For today is Mugimaru’s (Slungus’s) 5th birthday. Everyone wish her a happy birthday.

I say this every time de-extinction comes up: it makes no sense to devote science to bringing back extinct animals when we can’t be bothered to keep extant ones alive in the first place.

piggybacking off this: the most powerful sales technique in the world, for pretty much all of human history, has been word of mouth. If you like something someone made, TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Tell everyone. Leave reviews. Repost. Talk about it. Link to it and link to the artist.
We depend on YOU.

Most creatives literally cannot exist without social media support at this stage. There just isn’t another viable option, which is bad for our mental health and long term viability. You literally do have to buy from the artists you enjoy here if you want them to continue making work.

I still don't have fireflies in my yard but I do have plenty of their cousins the netwings, hopefully that is a good sign
Net wing beetle has long and leathery elytra, black with two horizontal orange stripes and long black antennae. It is perched on a white nightshade flower

Cover art I did for 'Necrobane' written by Daniel M. Ford, and published by Tor Books
Three adventurers facing right, weapons drawn, trudging through snow covered trees. The figure in the front is Aelis, dark hair blue cloak, black gambeson, with a short leaf shaped sword drawn. The middle figure is Maurenia, an elf woman with a rapier pointed high, wearing a studded leather armor. The figure in the back is Tun, a tall half orc with a large walking stick that doubles as a weapon. He has blonde hair, braided on the sides, long and unbraided in the back, and held in a hiar tie on top. He wears a giant fur cloak over a tunic.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.

H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

I keep seeing "Why aren't the Americans striking" and "Because our healthcare is tied to our jobs" and it never gets less true or less depressing

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990.
One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS.

A square canvas. Only the top corner is filled with Harings distinctive figures, rendered in Lavender, the rest is blank.

Photo of an enamel pin of a celestial-themed stag beetle. The body is blue with yellow and gold markings, red elytra and jaws, and darker blue wings and legs. The beetle is holding a yellow sun with many triangular rays in its jaws. The elytra are decorated with a few stars, and more stars and tiny planets decorate the wings. The pin is resting on a blue and purple cloth surface with some gold accents. Photo of an athletic gold bandana with a honeybee and honeycomb design printed in warm brown ink. It's folded in half diagonally and resting on a worn wooden fence as a backdrop. Photo at an angle of many identical stickers layered on top of each other, each featuring a stylized black millipede with rainbow gradient metallic stripes. Light is reflecting off the gloss of the stickers in places, showing how bright the metallic details can appear. Photo of an enamel pin of a green and yellow praying mantis done in a symmetrical geometric design with straight lines forming every shape of its body. It's shown on a purple backing card that reads "Insecta Geometrica Enamel Pin" at the top and "The Art of Mary Capaldi" with a crowned moth logo at the bottom.

The bay window in my new place is *very* popular.

Three cats — a black cat and a pair of Russian blue tabbies — hanging out on the narrow sill of a bay window with snow outside.
