🦜 Birds Deserve Better! - Pls share! Parrots are smart, social creatures w/complex needs. 💚 Thinking about bringing a parrot into your life? Take time to research, consider adoption, and choose to support responsible, ethical sources (i.e. not Petco, Petsmart, etc.) #Parrotcrisis #birds

Thank you for following and sharing my art. I now have more followers here than I gathered on the bird site for over 10+ years (RIP). More than on Insta, too. I am happy to see dozens and even hundreds of interactions with my work daily. It keeps my spirit while I am down and not active much. 💙

Lots of folks liking my Post-It Note art today so it would seem a fine time to mention that I have a 40pg comic book sized collection of over 100 Post-It Note pieces that I produced from 2020 to 2022. You can grab a copy directly from me or off Etsy should you prefer. In the UK it is £8 posted.

Not sure why Silicon Valley is so fixated on marketing AI to scientists as a tool for hypothesis generation? We have no problems generating hypotheses. We can crank out half-baked ideas just fine. You can help by pipetting, debugging unmaintained code, and troubleshooting weird unreported edge cases

Today I made an isopod after learning that the roly-polies I've been adoring since childhood AREN'T EVEN NATIVE TO MY HEMISPHERE. Anyone who was ever a kid looking under rocks knows them. Babybel cheese wax entry number two for #NearbyNature2025 #SciArt #Invert #booksky 🌎 bsky.app/profile/fish...
