Hello new folk! We probably know half of you from the Twitter days, and we’re so glad you decided to stick with us. This is our last weekend on Twitter and we’re going to miss the connections we made there. But it’s good here, as far as we can see. ❤️

Just a girl and her bundle of baby clones she's wearing like an ass turban 🥹 My population of Schizomida (parthenogenic tailless whipscorpions) are so happy in their box of dirt. As always, tending a box of dirt is such a good decision and I recommend it.

If you haven’t read the first Artezans go and do so immediately as book 2 Artezans: The Whispering World by @ldlapinski.bsky.social is out on 13th March and it is fantastic. I love the magically powered twins, the inclusive rep and of course, Mr Biscuits the cat. Ad|PR Gitfed on NetGalley. #kidlituk
