Biophobia is out now on Steam. An experimental art game that intertwines dissection and gardening mechanics to explore themes of trauma, death and agency. Play it here: store.steampowered.com/app/3702510/...

I'm very sorry I keep reposting; I haven't made a lot of sales or tips atm, hoping maybe the right folks will see this at peak hours. I swear I'll get back to shutting up and making more art soon, hehe ♡♡ please please and thank you!

In case anyone feels like their work isn't really connecting with clients lately: I'm going through my cold contacts list and after nearly a thousand emails so far I've never had this few responses or jobs ever This is a very different landscape for art and it is scary, but you're not alone in it

Bird. On. Sign. This Brown Pelican cautioning you against the end of … 🪶

Cuts have consequences, illustrated. As seen on TV 📺

It’s true

Spyro sketch! He’s still my go-to ‘comfort character’ to draw, even after all these years. #spyrothedragon

try not to be annoying about this because it is a super special interest but one of the things i have learned from my decades of "look at animals>know stuff about animals>make animal art" loop is that a lot of people, broadly, have no idea what animals look like

that funny gray orientation (1/?)

Today is the 91st anniversary of the last diary entry of the first man who tried to climb Everest solo. Mind you, his plan had been to crash land a plane 14,000 feet up and then stroll the rest of the way, so perhaps he wasn’t destined to succeed

"Can you name a person saved by Luigi Mangione?" Apparently, yes.

Hey games people: Open source habitual project organizer Miguel de Icaza has just ported Godot to run on the iPad. You can create iOS games entirely on iOS with this. mastodon.social/@Migueldeica... xogot.com

In the spring when people's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of insect hotels, I like to repost my flow chart that helps with the purchase. #bees #pollinators

Pace yourselves friends

Hey! I really felt the weight of everything last week, and I wanted a way to talk through it... so I've been working on (maybe the first???) choose your own adventure game set up directly *in* Bluesky. And here it is! Would you like to visit the Garden of Fortune with me? Enter the garden.

The first Luna Moth I ever saw while out wandering in the woods. Photo taken with my iPhone 3GS in 2012! 🌿💜 #TeamMoth #MothMay #BugSky #tbt

I’m just about sick of correcting terminology, especially “trauma bonding”.

I'm getting more sad about getting laid off. My work means so much to me. I'm a really good reporter. I've been getting scoops every single week lately, while also doing in-depth, award-winning reporting. I have good ideas! New email: [email protected] www.polygon.com/23776996/bar...

A milestone: #kakapo mating calls have been heard on the North Island of NZ for the first time in over a century. At least 2 of the 3 #kakapo males at the fenced sanctuary of Maungatautari have "boomed" this summer. #conservation www.doc.govt.nz/news/media-r... Video: www.scienceagency.co.nz

Say hello to our newest (and tiniest) arrivals! For the first time in 11 years, we’re celebrating the birth of two healthy litters of meerkat kits, and they’re already stealing hearts at just one month old! These curious little explorers are thriving under the watchful care of their parents.

For those puzzled why the strong box office opening of SINNERS is being framed as disappointing somehow, Vulture gave the game away two days ago. Studios are freaking out about letting the copyright revert to Coogler, so the film can't be seen as a success. The fix is in.

Just took in a second stray/lost cat in as many months. He seems sick so I'm really hoping he can pull through. He's such a sweetie pie and very cuddly

There’s nothing like reading about the Palaeolithic to give you a bit of historical perspective. Today I read of a single tool-making culture within the Palaeolithic that lasted for the same length of time that separates the Egyptian Old Kingdom and the Moon landings

HAPPY EASTER, DARLINGS!! 💛🐣✨️ Enjoy a Peep with pecs! ... No, I won't give more context.

Enamel rabbits of Easter past

There's a work-in-progress version of my little #pico8 flight simulator here: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=148... I'd really appreciate any feedback, particularly if it helps me tweak the flight model to be (somewhat) more realistic.

On special days throughout the year, I record all the plants flowering in our habitat. Mindfully, I gather a single flower from each plant that can spare a bloom. Today I gathered 27 different species, resting them together in this celebratory display—with love and gratitude. #WildflowerHour #Easter

Martial arts are intrinsically important to culture but they're impossible to preserve without maintaining and teaching their practice and history. I grew up studying Kali (Eskrima/Arsin) which is a very different art, but it was developed to deal with the same problem: Spanish Conquistadors.

Thousands show solidarity at #TransRightsAreHumanRights Demo in Parliament Square.

took a few days off for my brain and one pretty alarming observation i have is just how easy it is to not hear about the bad stuff that is happening if you don't explicitly dip into specific information streams (not a new problem but feels orders of magnitude more siloed than even 2-3 years ago)
