I have a quantum dog, she is both fed and unfed at all times.
At least that's her opinion based on her observations of her bowl at any one moment in time.

Happy day to all! One of my favorite visitors, the Pine Marten! I love their high energy level. They have a high metabolic rate, and semi- retractable claws. They are excellent swimmers, and are able to rotate their ankles 180 degrees!
Hello Pine Marten!🌲

"Warm Coffee II"
2023, mixed media
a small number of hand-embellished prints remain in my shop!
#ArtAdventCalendar
Two-part image of artwork displayed in a warm wooden frame with a direct scan of the work alone on the right. The piece in ink and watercolor depicts a cartoon moth in a loose striped sweater posed from the side but looking at the viewer with a smile while holding a mug. A golden halo with rays surrounds their head, and there are coffee beans as accents between the rays.

"That's a Good Bumble"
2018, digital for fun & print products 🐝
#ArtAdventCalendar
Digital art of a blue and purple fuzzy bumblebee with sparkles in its eyes. A ribbon loosely wrapping around it reads, "That's a Good Bumble". The design is backed by a hydrangea that fades from a blue center to more purple-pink outer edges. The background is solid purple. Art by Moth Monarch.

I hadn't realized it was International Day of Persons with Disabilities...but this is a pretty good way to recognize it.

A small but important thing. Be inclusive. Be kind.

We've had somewhere around 1200 images posted for #ArtAdventCalendar in the first 3 days and I would guess that less than 50 have been posted without AltText.

Platform wide, AltText use is about 20% (apparently)

For AAC...about 96%

Over 450 artists leading the way. Fantastic job everyone.

Icymi: A week before Thanksgiving, the Trump administration deleted the Federal Report on Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women

The ‘Not One More’ report recorded indigenous deaths and disappearances, and provided resources and policy suggestions to address the crisis

A little dreamer cloaked in stars. 💫
Digital art of a dark purple cartoon firefly in a blue and purple gradient poncho decorated with yellow stars and a moon. They are running to the left with arms out so we get a good look at the poncho, which also has some strings hanging from the hood with little star beads at the end. The firefly is smiling with a little yellow star-shaped sparkle in the pupil of their blue eye, and a slight glow can be seen from beneath the poncho. Stars of various sizes also surround them on the lavender background.

One of the jumping #spiders I found in the leaf litter at #Choma, #Zambia. Any ideas for an ID?

One thing I will miss about UQ is the incredible biodiversity on campus. Thread of all the animals I photographed yesterday along one stretch of railing about 10m long.

(warning to the squeamish about bugs)

Starting with this bronze hopper (Helpis minitabunda): (1/N)

Reading Mothra comic books and chilling. ❤️
Text says: Mothra Queen of the Monsters There's a picture of Mothra in the background with another, larger picture of Mothra in the foreground. She has huge blue eyes, a white face bordered by fuzzy black, and orange between her white antennae. Mothra's wings are yellow with black markings for the top two and red with black swirls for the bottom two wings. Underneath her are two sisters. They appear to be pale skin, Asian, with black hair, each looking opposite direction. The medallion between them is rimmed with gold, then a ring of blue hued petals, and in the center are two white silhouettes of femme figures holding hands and reaching out to the outer golden border. There is a golden disc directly behind these two.
