We have reached 1.4 degrees celsius #globalheating according to NASA data (smooth black trend line). Breaching 1.5 is now inevitable. From now on the fight is to keep overshoot as small and short as possible.

I found a dino challenge. Not done with last month's art challenge, no time. But I love #dinosaurs. So I decided to make a very simple animation with today's prompt, Coelophysis, for my dad (today is father's day in my place). I also made a public version:

I'll be hosting a #Dinovember art challenge again this year! Here are some lesser known dinos (and some classics) to learn about and draw! Feel free to tag me if you draw one!

Some references if you need them: tinyurl.com/8dhta63u Thank you @pyrokittytavern.bsky.social ! ❤️

Time for the next drawing challenge! #invertober2025. Why should I stop at birds? And how could I resist a pretty jellyfish. Had no idea how to approach something sem-transparent with pencils and liners though, so very interesting. #sciart

The federal government has censored the work of dozens of scientists, including work by my lab, on the impacts of climate change on Acadia National Park. Signs have been removed from Cadillac and Great Meadow. They’re also removing signs about the Wabanaki’s sacred connections to Cadillac.
