So I found the man who wrote the Borisch Manual of Catoptric Pest Species
The Schmidt sting pain index is a pain scale rating the relative pain caused by different hymenopteran stings. It is mainly the work of Justin O. Schmidt, who was an entomologist at the Carl Hayden Bee Research Center in Arizona. Feeling only slight pain, Schmidt described the sting of an urban digger bee, categorized into pain level 1, as "almost pleasant, a lover just bit your earlobe a little too hard."[3] Also rated into pain level 1, Schmidt has described the sting of a sweat bee as "light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm."[3] Some ants are also rated at a pain level 3, including the giant bull ant and the Maricopa harvester ant. Schmidt considered the sting of the Maricopa harvester ant to have a pain level of 3, describing it as such: "After eight unrelenting hours of drilling into that ingrown toenail, you find the drill wedged into the toe."[3] Schmidt also later rated the sting of Synoeca septentrionalis as a 4, describing it as "Torture. You are chained in the flow of an active volcano. Why did I start this list?",[3] saying the pain lasts up to two hours.[3]

As well as recipes, my patreon is full of my art.

You can help support me and get paintings and drawings like these sent to your inbox every week.

There's a whole series done in the style of Picasso with African influences on subjects like Black women.

Today is Trans Day of Remembrance (TDoR), a day where we pause to remember those who we have lost around the world this year to transphobic violence.
A black graphic with five candles on it. The candles are in the trans flag colours - blue then pink then white then pink then blue. White text above the candles reads "Trans Day of Remembrance 2025" and the Scottish Trans logo is in the top right hand corner.

This is what NHS England and ICB Sussex are doing to our children. The worst part is that no one wants to hear it. People don't believe us. Since the election, I have been begging my MP to meet with me, and I was supposed to meet tomorrow, and he cancelled.

Still waiting for apologies from the “AI makes art more accessible, so if you’re against it, then you’re ableist and a terrible person” crowd that was so very vocal in the early days of all this before they could no longer deny what a disaster it would be for artists.

Any day now, right? Right?!

@wtpress.bsky.social still open for submissions to acclaimed Wiz Duos – 2 novellas different writers one volume. SFF not horror, 18-38k They really want to see most things.

I understand an upbeat or upbeatish spec with a romantic element might find a home...

On the back of #AsexualAwarenessWeek I have just finished @erisyoung.bsky.social 's thoughtful and informative study of what life is like for aro / ace people in the modern world. As always, please hit the ALT text for a fuller review.
The front cover of 'Ace Voices' by Eris Young. This book consists particularly of surveys done by the author, as well as interviews of members of the aro / ace community who are identified only by their initials. It does also cite other sources but it's mostly these anecdotes which keep the work afloat but which also add colour and variation to it. It's definitely one of the essential books to read if you wish to learn more about aro / ace identities and learn about real experiences of community members.
