Just passed 50,000 followers on here. Thanks, nerds.

👻 🎉 Happy 1 month to THE GHOSTKEEPER 🎉 👻 Dorian Leith is a therapist for ghosts. When the key to Death's Door is stolen, trapping all the ghosts in the land of the living, the spirits rely on Dorian to retrieve the key before they are consumed by a plague of ghostly rot. theghostkeeper.carrd.co

“Lead is bad for the environment, as indicated in why steel birdshot, tungsten fishing weights and non-lead acid batteries are made. Anything made with lead is soon to be “dead,” which is a good thing for the environment.” 🧪🦑🦈 🎣

I unironically love Huey Lewis And The News. That is all.

Getting organized behind the scenes for a very cool art announcement… my watercolors are lined up behind me in the studio!

In January, I tweeted these 9 posters I've done in the past 6 years, promising to do a 10th. I've been (slowly) working on a jellyfish poster since, but people keep asking when it will be done. tl;dr: they don't make me much money so I only do them when I have free time. A mini thread on $$$

happy birthday to an artist whose work—alongside Sondheim—made me love what musicals could do. I think these are 4 of the greatest words to use together 🥰🔥👏🏾

Speaking of catastrophic structural failures, here's a map of the 42,000 U.S. bridges known to be in poor condition, with huge state-by-state variance 🧪https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/where-are-the-worst-bridges-in-the-u-s/

🧪NeuroNerd: I’m an unapologetic proselytizer for science (probably because I started late in life and the anti-science attitudes floating around out there). So, I try to my my science skeets engaging for anyone. This is one of my fav books on how neuroscience can impact your leadership style.

Happy birthday to Alan Turing, OBE, FRS (1912 – 1954), British #mathematician, #cryptanalyst, computer scientist, prophet & hero. Turing foresaw not only that machines might quite likely develop the capacity to think (after all, our brains are only made of matter, & complex systems of neurons, 1/n 🧪

28% of North American Bumble species are threatened or endangered. Their complex life cycle requires spring to fall pollen and nectar sources, and multiple habitats for nesting and overwintering. 🧪https://www.pollinatorsnativeplants.com/uploads/1/3/9/1/13913231/rustypatchedlifecycleweb_1.pdf

So @danirabaiotti.bsky.social was a wonderful host on my book tour. After my talk she gave me a copy of her book “does it fart” and let me wander around her former workplace, the London Zoo. 🧪

Just woke up, haven't finished processing any more baby stilt images, but here's an image of an active star-forming region of space instead. :) NGC 1333 in Perseus. You can see a few Herbig-haro objects, (gas jets from newborn stars) even! 🧪

Starting off my presence here with a bang.

Today is a busywork day so let’s try something I’ve done for years on that other site: ask me anything! This shark scientist is standing by, all day, to answer your questions about sharks, marine biology, ocean conservation, or…anything! Ask away! Tag friends who might be interested! Reskeet! 🦈 🧪

Me looking for my friends on here.

“still punk as fuck” i whisper to myself as i gleefully look through the 2023 hallmark christmas in july movie lineup.
