Does selling original paintings for $10 compensate me for my time and artistic vision? No. But is it a great business move? Also no. Here's why I do it anyway #sciart

No, we are not going to live on other planets. Bullshit artists like Musk might as well be the leaders of death cults. arstechnica.com/culture/2025...

Hello! My name is Alie. I'm an engineer + scientist who's written award-winning field guides about bugs, founded my own engineering firm, and invented brand-new classes of thermal insulation and metrology equipment. I'm so proud to be visible as an autistic trans woman in STEM! #womeninSTEM 👩‍🔬🧪

When you have a lovely game night with friends but you’re a bug nerd so the only photos you take are of a couple of spoods on their front porch.

Forgot to post last night’s walk friends. @brianwolven.bsky.social and I even remembered to take the UV torch this time, yay! Just one proper glowy friend though. Apheloria virginiensis.

My latest fun nail art was inspired by a painting by Toronto artist Michelle Shook! I painted this during a live stream on my YouTube channel (I do them every Thursday night).

We forgot to celebrate properly, but this past Saturday marked one year since this little menace strolled into our house like she owned the place, after months of cautious interaction on the back deck. She’s a little shithead, and @brianwolven.bsky.social and I adore her.

This argument would not be any different if the victim were a US citizen: sorry we "accidentally" disappeared a citizen, but he's a foreign policy matter now. That is exactly the goal. They think they found an infinite gulag glitch that works on anyone, even citizens.

Okay time for photos from last night’s walk with @brianwolven.bsky.social. I didn’t take too many since there aren’t a ton of friends out yet and we were trying to get some actual exercise 😅 We did see a couple of Very Good Froggos (and a plethora of toads)

This whole thread (read up from here) is wild, fascinating, and more than a little worrying.

My weekly live stream last night involved recreating a design from one of my many beautiful mugs. This gorgeous blue butterfly-inspired mug is by Caleb Zouhary (calebzouhary.com). I used a wet-in-wet technique to try to emulate the way the glazes run together in the kiln.
