We made our goal of getting to $15,000 on the GFM for the Isbaita family which means I could do an insect info dumping tea party!! Thank you so much to everyone who donated I’ll do another party when we get to $20,000! You can find the GFM in my link tree.

Again apologies for being terrible at remembering to cross-post new bookish macarons over here, but LOOK I made A Girl of the Limberlost macarons for @charlottereads.com to gift to @soundoftheforest.bsky.social 🥰🙌 #booksky #bookishmacarons #macarons #cookieart

The moment I realized these were Girl of the Limberlost macarons I started crying. I feel so loved and seen. Also I am blown away by how gorgeous these are! Thank you so much @charlottereads.com @sarasbookmacarons.bsky.social
my Christmas MVP is @sarasbookmacarons.bsky.social, who, with almost no notice, made the most gorgeous batch of macarons for @soundoftheforest.bsky.social. I chose A Girl of the Limberlost for the theme, because it’s the book that inspired Nicole to take up insect preservation. LOOK AT THEM. LOOK

I finished all my Christmas commissions of bugs which means I can get back to painting a lot of bug! I love doing these bigger collection paintings and watching kids try to identify them all.

your political platform can’t just be against something, you have to be FOR something, and the thing you’re FOR has to be BETTER than the thing that IS

hope this helps

If I can ask y'all for some help, please read & just share the following?

Medical emergencies + 2yrs of unemployment + debt is a hell of a combo.

Any support would be a huge help. So far, through your kindness I've been able to pay off $3k of my $20,000 debt

So, all the Corporate Democrats who said Dems can only win by by "running to the center," or "siding with Israel on Gaza" or "not being distracted by the Trans issue," should shut up & have the humility to listen.

Zohran is what happens when you run FOR justice rather than just against Trump.

I was jewel beetle specifically sternocera aequisignata for Halloween. I went to one Halloween party and hid in a dark room, emerged for the costume contest and then disappeared. It was great.

As Palestinians cling to a fragile ceasefire after suffering horrific genocide, I ask those who remained silent and complicit for the last two years—was it worth it?

Was it worth it to know this is how history, your children, your descendants, will remember you?

Swedish activist Greta Thunberg raised her fist as she and about 160 other Global Sumud Flotilla participants arrived in Greece to roaring cheers. Crowds welcomed them after their release from illegal Israeli detention.

Greta later addressed supporters — her remarks are below.

Pt1 🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."
