WIP: veg pins! These are partially a benefit for Sunday Creek Collective, a 6 acre small farm in Athens County, OH that offers land access, learning opportunities and rest/creative retreat space for BIPOCLGBTQ+ farmers. $5 from each pin will go to their farm fund.

Life update. Two weeks on from Clevo Crusties Spending Loud Night and I only feel more inspired. Glad people liked my zine, glad for the opportunity to do something constructive as a result of playing. 🫶

YOU GUYYSSSSSSSSSSSSS. Look at this incredible Dracunculus in full flower! You can practically see the stinklines coming off of it in the sun and there are swarms of shiny flies visiting

A peer-reviewed article—on Indigenous dance in Palestine and Native North America as resistance to genocide—was formally accepted then rejected by the editors of The Journal of Somaesthetics, citing fear of criticizing Israel’s genocide. mondoweiss.net/2025/06/acad... #Palestine #Israel

I really want to repeat, it is extremely bad for queer and trans refugees in South Sudan right now. They have been abandoned by the UNHCR. They have experienced EXORCISMS and STONINGS for being queer and atheist. EXORCISMS and STONINGS.

New Oakland leaves! How many can you name?

What's up Pittsburgh besties? Been hard at work for a very special drop for the Queer Craft Market this Sunday! All kinds of cool stuff from decadent paper flowers to queer ecology-themed hankies. Union Project on Negley, 4 PM, come hang out!

Sherbert and Big Boss update

There's spirals bc MILLIPEDES

This hurts me more than twitter. I've recommended @inaturalist.bsky.social as a reservoir of animal references untainted by Gen AI. My current friend circle is from iNat. #InverteFest was born there. We don't know the details of this program but knowing they're enabling google's BS is painful.

Tree pals: what resource do you use to classify tree species by shade tolerance level for analysis? Silvics of North America? Something else?

It's both my bandmates' birthday season and I'm gonna make a blueberry-strawberry frangipane tart with elderflower liquor in the filling for practice tomorrow don't tell them 🤫

Btw this fundraiser was organized by a 15-year old and I hope you will find that as inspiring as I do!

Clevo Crusties Spending Loud Night Volume 1 photozine exists in the world! There's a print-at-home pdf version for long-distance folks (dm me your email address & print as many as your heart desires). Hang one in yr locker to swoon over between classes.

Michigan besties: I'll have a little something for raffle at this benefit show, come out and spend wildly

Still cooking with seed oils to spite RFK Jr

Remembered & laughed/cried: shared a conference talk w my family yrs ago & my sister's bf (who had flashed me on tour when I couldn't leave) tried to get out of it so I yelled at him "IF I HAD TO SEE YOUR PENIS YOU CAN WATCH MY TALK 😡" (yes the whole family knew about it & was completely ok w it)

Our friend the False Toad lives in the peat swamps of Indonesia and Malaysia, spending most of their time in the water! They are the only species in genus Pseudobufo! They are a large toad, growing to over six inches long! (photo by Lars Fehlandt)

Mining, including the extraction of transition minerals, leads every sector in attacks on environmental & human rights defenders. 40% of those killed were Indigenous, a reflection of the fact that more than half of all critical minerals lie in or near Indigenous land. grist.org/indigenous/i...

Almost all of Clevo Crusties Spending Loud Night was captured in video form! So heartwarming to see how excited people were about this event. So many people traveled! 💖💞 www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQsy...

Posting through it bc I woke up with a gross migraine featuring nausea and vomiting AND then dropped a knife on my foot and there was lots of drippy blood but I was too nauseous and dizzy to clean it up thoroughly at the time and now my kitchen floor is sticky but it's blood

Inspirational image for your Tuesday✨

Hi Besties. I really genuinely need to start making some big moves toward a work transition for my personal peace and sense of ethics (no I'm not quitting Chatham). If you Know Things about freelance writing/editing/research type work for people with science PhDs I'd love advice.

I've wanted to see wild lupine for years and finally got to catch some at a sand barren near Lake Erie! 🤩 I need to be in my Lakeplain Era ASAP, so many cool plants

This night meant a lot to me, thanks Ohio for continually adopting me in spirit

Literally

Kent Bog delivered!

At the bog

The scorn heaped on "Underwater Basket Weaving" was based on college courses in experiential indigenous anthropology. Reeds are traditionally softened underwater to make them flexible for bending into baskets. It's a more useful skill for most than memorizing the 3 orders of ancient Greek columns.

I played a fest at 1 PM, to basically nobody, in a hot July garage, with Lyme disease, and it didn't even make my "worst shows I ever played" list 😭

It is, indeed, rattlesnake master hours! Went hard with the Chicago-area imagery for this one, the background photo is from Gensburg-Markham Prairie. West Town Bikes seems like a really cool org too, check em out

Therapy-speak type friends always disappearing or being unreliable bc they "don't have the capacity" well guess what, I don't have the capacity for carrying entire relationships on my own and constantly getting left behind either 🚫

I mess up the first song pretty bad in this but if you want to hear stage banter about bear corn I'm yr goblin www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2cx...

I'm making an art item for a Chicago thing in the summertime and it's my Apiaceae Era so that means it's RATTLESNAKE MASTER HOURS right??!!
