Hanging out on the couch with animals is a top tier hobby tbh

100% this! It's such an uncomfortable feeling

The horrors persist, but do I?

*DOOMSCROLLING CHECKPOINT* Stop. Breathe. Take your mind off the collapse of US Democracy. Here's some baby giant springtails, aren't they cute? They don't understand human politics, they just eat fungi and logs and go to sleep. That must be nice for them. Okay, off you go. #Invertebrate 🧪

Pulled out "Redwall" by Brian Jacques to try and lighten the mood- all my reads recently have been fairly dark and heavy 😬 #booksky

How am I handling the start of the workweek in this hellscape? Well, choked on coffee, barely avoided eating cookies for breakfast, and passed out on the floor while doing stretches to combat stress. So yeah, that's where I'm at

Friday night reminder to support your local library this weekend 💙📚

You know when there’s only like 15 pages left in a book and nothing’s been solved and you get that weird closure anxiety like “okay there’s no way any of this is gonna be wrapped up in a way that makes any sense to me”…that’s what everything feels like all the time now

Trying to focus on good things today, but I'm not going to lie - it's difficult

This is such a beautiful art piece 😍

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

Commit the sin of empathy.

Throwback to this cosmic manta ray painting I did back in 2021. I still love it and want to dive back into painting in this theme 🥰🪼 #watercolor #painting #fishart #sealife

Whenever I start to feel anxious I immediately have another coffee and scroll through the worst news imaginable on my phone and omg it does not help at all

I think of this video often. We shouldn’t be fighting the same fight. Waiting for comfort and decorum isn’t the way. Progress happens when you don’t stop.

Still figuring out Bluesky, but let’s put a little #octaviabutler into the world today. #booksky

the canaries cried out, but the shovels kept digging, down into choking dark. those gentle small things, who only wished to sing, did you even listen at all?

So where are my herp lovers at? Toads, Frogs, reptiles - I want to see them all 🐍 #herps #frogs #toads
