Pokedex 002: Ivysaur I love this spunky critter! 🌿 #pokemon #pokedex #pokedexchallenge #ivysaur

The organisation I volunteer with is trying to match mouldy wizard lady's donation to the supreme court except give it to LGBT kids instead. We honestly do a lot of good work, I have seen it first hand so if you can afford anything or are able to share, pls do! donate.justgiving.com/charity/lgbt...

Aw man it's St George's Day? But I only just did an obnoxious 'historian debunks' thing for Easter. Oh well, here it is:

This is a unique hand made cyanotype on watercolour paper (11” x 14”) with an image of my Eastern tiger swallowtail (Papilio glaucus) butterfly linocut on a cyanotype image of leaves and flowers. #cyanotype #printmaking #linocut #butterfly #botanicalArt

Sneak preview of my current WIP - Steinunn Refsdóttir, an Icelandic skald who famously opposed a Christian missionary through her poetry. Looking forward to sharing her story!

This morning my geese decided to squeeze under the gate and go for a jaunt round the village, thankfully too early to find anyone to terrorize. This is a painting from a while ago. It's acrylic on paper. #acrylic #acrylicpainting #bird #birds #geese #nature #wildlife #WildlifeArt #artyear #bskyart

since this will always be circulating, i might as well be the first one to put it here: the stretch tips i made many years ago… remember to stop and stretch and take care of your hands! be mindful of your work time & listen to your body.

🦕 Wow! At first I thought it was tiramisu in preparation but this is even wilder! That's a real little guy dinosaur on the side? 🧠 Who can even grasp something that old & in such mint condition?🏺 🗃️ @holland-tom.bsky.social #dinosaurs

WOW! Check out the beautiful first entry in @norree.bsky.social's new Pokedex challenge!

My drawing of a roe deer - I see them most days, looking just like this, carefully watching from a distance as you walk past. They're so beautiful and graceful. #drawing #procreate #deer #nature #wildlife #WildlifeArt #artyear #bskyart

I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

During my jog the other day, the sunset resembled the trans flag, so I used that for inspiration! Using blue, pink, and purple hues is so pleasing— they're some of my favourite colours! #bskyart #digitalart #art #myart #clouds #cloudart

One of my most popular works. "Pack" is oil on canvas. #DarkArt #Art

🧪 are you a trans entomologist? arachnologist? parasitologist? malacologist? carcinologist? diplopodologist? vermeologist? 🐛🐜🪱🦗🕷️🦀 if you a trans scientist studying any kind of bug or crawling/slithering invertebrate that is existentially bug-like, I would love to interview you for a project!

Trans women & transfeminine people have ALWAYS been a part of history! To act otherwise is to impose violent colonial gender norms onto Indigenous cultures & their history. Pictured here are the two transfems in my Women of 1000 project so far, in Unangan (Aleut) & Samoan history. #MedievalSky 🗃️

>poll British gay people >ask them if they like trans people >get results >lesbians 84% positive >trans people 80% positive >lesbians like trans people more than trans people like trans people 😂

This is awesome!!

Endometriosis: - millions of women (and fellow uterus-havers) suffer from severe symptoms on a monthly basis - it takes YEARS to get a diagnosis (if you're lucky) - there's still no proper treatment b/c "women" But sure, take your absurd amount of money and use it to harass trans people. 🖕

'Twisting and turning' by UK textile artist Rachel Wright, machine embroidered #WomensArt Bom fim de semana!

OK, this is so cool! Hoping the results get confirmed...! "In the few years that the James Webb Space Telescope has been operating, he says, scientists have learned more about these planets' atmospheres than in the entire three decades before."

An oldie that will definitely come back this summer ^^

This is really an incredible conversation. It would be deeply depressing were it not for Kohli's restraint and lucidity.

Another #pleinairpril painting based on Bayeux’s cathedral, one of my favourite cities around here. Done on procreate on iPad!
