I finally finished my glorious amblypygid illustration and if you wanted, you can buy it on a shirt or a mug or a tote bag or whatever. Yay! Media marked as sensitive because amblypygi probably look awfully scary to arachnophobes and such :) #SciArt #entomology #illustration https://www.redbubble.com/people/thevexedmuddler/works/26142479-amblypygi-charinus-israelensis-tailless-whip-scorpion
My wee Jammie Dodgers just arrived for her evening cuddle. #cats

I doodled a cute S-shaped rat and now I might need a whole ratty alphabet. #art https://social.targaryen.house/media/e5DSnCd_TPF56szrBOU
good afternoon here's a soft zubat from last year https://mastodon.social/media/hfQ9FYhHTHO8hxmGpBY
Halp I just looked at the federated TL after a whole week of sticking to local and everything is so fast D:
Seriously considering modifying my "microbial badass" design to turn it into an enamel pin. Guess I could try crowdfunding to get them made up. Really I just want one for myself :D

Spider-like arachnid extreme close-up! Drawing, not photo, but still. Show more
Note to future me: stick to bench science.
I am so ding-dang DONE with tweaking this stupid awful work website. A solid week and a half of wrestling with Wordpress when you don't have access to source files is enough to break anyone. Stupid university hosting. Stupid Wordpress. Stupid me for ever admitting I know anything about this stuff.
"virtue signalling" was a phrase invented to stigmatize the act of publicly giving a shit about something other than yourself
I think my amblypygid is pretty much done. A little cleanup in photoshop and it should be ready for prime time. Image masked for arachnophobes. It's not a spider, but it's a close relative and tends to set off the same panic in some :)
Hey @wonderfall Firefox seems a bit confused about things. Did something change? https://social.targaryen.house/media/60a9tSCQU1yXuWDU_RI

Budgie Smuggler having a wee nap, as one does. #cats
Feels like caturday.
Jammie Dodgers likes to put her paws on my face when we snuggle. I like to think of it as helping me build a robust microbiome. #cats
It's that time of the evening again. #cats
