Alright there’s room for improvement, given the spooky Philadelphia basement setup down here among the paint cans & old maid chair my dad spontaneously dropped off, but this is an extremely promising start.

I got these rainbow pencils at the art store for $1 and they’re the best $1 I ever spent. I love adding little rainbow hearts to the shipping stickers.

People sometimes ask me for a business card, and I never have a card, but I almost always have some random assortment of science education material on me. So when a man asked me for my card earlier today I dug around in my pockets & handed him a MILF zine, horseshoe crab card, and a squid sticker 🤷🏻♀️

Planted my first Philadelphia tree at Norris square park this morning under the guidance of my tree teacher, Petra (age 9).

No no it’s good that we have winter I’m happy that it’s cold. If I was wearing shorts right now that would be bad because, you know, climate change. I’m always talking about stopping climate change, of course, so I’m pleased that I’m frozen.

It's a dark time for artists. Many are struggling!
It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer.
This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop!
Artists! Drop your shop links!
& check out SquidFacts.net 😘

Lots of great art and conversations tonight at Bad Art for Good (and the cheese donation? hell yeah Perrystead Dairy)!
I got started on a tree-focused zine but unfortunately the jet lag is still hitting me like a bag of bricks at 8pm every night so I didn’t finish it. I’ll continue later!

Maybe I should have included a daily “snuggle Otis like a baby” and “give Otis 5 smooches”
(She is screaming and purring. Purring so loud).
