It’s been a real joy watching the young storks grow up on the @whitestorkproject.bsky.social nest cam at Knepp Estate. 💗

Incredible birds and wonderful to see them in the UK!

While I didn't manage to paint all the birds for #birbfest2026, making these was still very rewarding, and it helped me learn, and let go of some perfectionism, create art faster and looser.

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

I'm massively proud of these tree identification pins and really hoping people will see them. Truly my most practical #SciArt so far! 🌳🌍🧪 canopyrobin.etsy.com/listing/4386...

day 25 of #birbfest2026 with the common kingfisher.
this is probably one of my favourite birds. I've only seen it once while on a walk in the park, it was only for a fleeting moment but I still remember how happy it made me 🐦 #birbfest #art #birdart #sciart

A Pteranodon longiceps just messing around in the water. This sub-adult’s crest is not yet as large or as brightly coloured as those of more mature individuals.
#SciArt
A digital portrait of Pteranodon - a prehistoric flying reptile, with a distinctive long curved beak and head crest. It is mostly a dark grey/black colour, with yellow flashes on its throat and crest, and a piercing amber eye. It is shown semi-submerged in the spray of a breaking wave, with a stream of water arcing from the tip of its beak.

The story about the trans M&S employee and the bra fitting is a pack of lies and distortions.

I went into goblin mode last night and completed what is for sure the most unhinged zine I have produced to date.

I'll fold some up tonight and put them around and see how people react lol

caked up mother earth in her thigh high fishnets is stomping in her stripper heels looking back at it. The words say "Milfs for Mother Earth The earth is once again looking back at it in her fishnets but looks more coy in this one. The words say "Ok so climate change, a couple important things to note: 1) it's not too late to make a difference 2) Every 1/10th of a degree of warming matters 3) Governments need to do most of it 4) Acting as communities really matters. Here are some things we CAN do 1) Ditch cars, take transit 2) Switch to renewable energy 3) get solar for your roof 4)Share stuff, buy less 5) Don't use AI 6) talk to your friends and family about solutions. Details here (which points to a QR) Mother earth looks at you over her sunglasses over the words "Do something" repeated a bunch of times, then under her it says "Doing anything is better than nothing", "learn how" and a qr Mother earth is wearing a flower crown and peeking up from the bottom of the page. The words say "Biodiversity When it comes to protecting plants and animals, start by thinking local. Animals usually suffer most from habitat loss and climate change. Solving climate change is hard. Building habitat for wildlife is easier. Every action you take matters. Here's what we can do 1) Create good habitat by planting native plants 2) Stop using pesticides and get others to stop too 3) Kill your lawn, replace with useful plants 4) Fight to preserve wild spaces and to reclaim abandoned land 5) Encourage friends and family to do all this too"
