My colony is thriving. I started with a culture of 15, lost two. Two appear to be a different variety- one dark brown and one all white- but both are female and have successfully reproduced. I have easily over 100 at this point. The symbiosis between them and the springtails is super cool to watch.

Baby isopods!(Finger tip for scale)

Pillbugs, potato bugs, rollypollies, whatever you wanna call them-

Neat fact, these guys are NOT insects! They are terrestrial crustaceans! Think of them as a different breed of crab or lobster, but tiny, and on land!

My bioactive terrarium is thriving!!!

I've been weirdly obsessed with isopods for a few years, and I finally bought some.

These lil dudes are called Dairy Cows.

Naturally, my partner and I spent Saturday afternoon building tiny barns for them, because we are totally sane adult humans.

Medicaid paid for my shoulders to be fixed. Without which, I'd be almost unable to move my arms. I'd probably have suffered nerve damage by now.

Medicaid paid for the removal of a super rare aneurysm on my kidney artery, it was positioned at the juncture of two vessels against the kidney.

"Good thing I don't have medicaid"

Are you sure? Or is this going to be a repeat of when you wanted Obamacare gone but to keep your ACA coverage?

Just in case you don't know, these are the Ohio medicaid providers.

Once upon a time, I made jewelry. And I was pretty good at it.

Pricing my art feels gross. Like, here's a thing I made and I demand you give me X amount because I decided so.

I've given away so much because I just feel weird charging for something I enjoyed doing.

Just some of the glass I've made and saved up from the last several months! Gathering stuff up for a yard sale, finally!

Just let me live in the mountains.

The microscopic jungles we walk by every day always draw me in.

I love moss so much.

I was at a gorgeous waterfall, surrounded by tourists photographing the water- and my dumb ass is squatted down, taking micro shots of the incredible moss.

I.

Am awkward.

I spent 4 days in the mountains of N.C. trying to help my mom find a new home.

I met some pretty cool cats.

Orange kitty works at the Franklin aquarium. Black and white kitty works at Darnell farms, doing pest control. Beautiful gray kitty is Luna, my great aunts gorgeous little fluff.

Helping my mom find a new place out of state. Stopped at the Women's History trail in Franklin N.C., looked around at some of the neat historical sites. They had a cottage preserved as it was when the area was settled. Saw something odd on the ground...

Me- (smiling)
Bmo- (stops smiling to do this????)

Four generations of my family in one shot.
My uncle, my son, my mother, my brother, my grandpa, myself, my other son!

I'm lucky enough to have two sets of amazing grandparents who love all their weird kids.

Dipped my toes back in after shoulder surgery last month.
Simple (free)pattern yoinked from the Delphi site.
I used only scrap glass for this piece.
Giving me 1960's vibes 💙

Extraordinarily mundane.

Took my eldest offspring to the Sessanta tour. My second time seeing Primus, my sons first time. Puscifer was phenomenal. Primus was again, incredible. Kid is now really getting into Primus and boy howdy, I'm a proud mom.

Buddy, I can't explain how weird it was to be editing my next stained glass project when @thetraecrowder.bsky.social and @coreyrforrester.bsky.social started talking about stained glass.

P.s. even thick glass can do some serious damage. Please don't be getting thrown through stained glass. 💙

I feel so lucky to be with this man. He's been my crush since I was 14, my "one that got away" in my 20's, and for almost 7 years now he's been my best friend and partner. He's been my peace. I love this man so much

No, of course not.

My coworkers are pretty cool, but the 10% that suck sure are loud about how much they suck.

It's time to get in the streets and make yourself heard.

Saturday, be there.

Brass rods- perfect for plant stakes.

I adore this tulip design. I can't wait to do more!

What colors should I do next? #stainedglass #art #flowers

Combining two things I love- cats(especially Potato), and stained glass.

Cats, inspiring art since cats.
