Biogeography and evolution enjoyer, secretly an insect. Scicomm lover, D&D enthusiast, and occasional Twitch streamer. Pictures are my own unless specified otherwise 🙂
They/Them
Got to love filing fda reports over foods with major allergens in them that were *not on the label*.

I’m just glad I noticed before I ate it, I rather enjoy not spending the evening in the er.

Finally got a decent picture of an ambush bug— I swear they’re so common but so hard to get a good picture of.

Now that I’m done with school (for now?) I can take more bug pictures between my job rejections! (this is fine, mhm)

Starting on a new med that actually helps with chronic illness has got to be one of the best experiences. I feel l like you get parts of your life back you didn’t even realize you lost.

I see we’re doing deextinction discourse again, I’ll bite!

Genotypes (DNA variation) alone do not make a phenotype (how bodies look, function, behave).

Even if we reproduced an extinct genome, that animal doesn’t necessarily have the developmental context and learned culture of the extinct species
It's not a dire wolf. It's a gray wolf clone with 20 dire-wolf gene edits, and with some dire wolf traits. And here's my story! Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/s...

I woke up this morning and decided the best use of my time was overanalyzing the biogeography of Breath of the Wild… I’m in too deep what do I do with all this dark knowledge? Why is this how I choose to use my education?

It’s been a… time the last couple of weeks, but I’ve been distracting myself by learning Mandolin and that’s been super fun. In the meantime, have a break from the dumpster fire in the form of a cute lil’ spider

Thinking about sunshine and milkweed beetles— someday the snow will melt and I’ll have small friends again but for now I’ll look through my pictures.

I have become the person who learns there’s an endemic spider near where I live and wants to go on a trip specifically to look for it. Why must I learn this in the winter I want to go look for spiders now.

Hover flies don’t get the love they deserve— they’re such under-appreciated pollinators. Also they’re just very cool and I like how they fly lol
