it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Visually impairment is a wide spectrum.

Sometimes it's just nice to know the colours,
sometimes something needs to be pointed out because there isn't enough contrast,
sometimes people just want to know what's in the picture.

ALT-text isn't easy, but it helps.

I get that people are deeply annoyed by iNat right now, but despite its deep flaws, I hope people can see that a better iNat, both the site functionality and the community, is worth fighting for.

Here's my personal perspective.

The contrast on these butterflies is irresistible. I freaking love using contrasting colours to make them look as bright as possible.

Just another little buddy that's smooshed itself into a leaf. It looks real cosy.

And for the love of his do not listen to anyone who says “yeah but look what happened when Howard was bold and he did WorkChoices”

Are you saying things the ALP should do are bad like that?!

FFS you think dental in Medicare will be hated? Real spending on public education will be hated?

Jackdaw with exaggerated iridescent colours. This might be the loosest I've we've managed to paint. Letting go of that tight control is so hard!

I love crested pigeons and I loved painting this. Funny hatted little buddy doing itself a little strut.

Colossal’s bungled wolf announcement isn’t a conservation win. It’s a sad reminder of how the offensively rich want to foist their vision of the future on everyone. My latest for @slate.com
Those Dire Wolves Aren’t an Amazing Scientific Breakthrough. They’re a Disturbing Symbol of Where We’re Heading.
We shouldn’t be celebrating “de-extinction.” We should be focused on the species that are currently in danger.

Japanese tree frog peeking over a leaf. What a great little buddy. I like the look in its little eyes.

From sketch to final fish. I like its glowy little head and swishy fins.

I don't know which version of this frog I like better. The left is much brighter and kind of glowy, but the the right has better contrast. Hmm.

Pointy frog.

I'm a bit obsessed with this fish. There's some really cool mimicry and schooling with different species that happens around this fish and I want to drew more about it

If you were the best dog you would be this dog

New version! The smallest frog.

A value study of a little smooshy frog.

There's parts of this I absolutely love and parts that are bugging the crap outta me. The eye is awesome, though. Love that eye.
