A glass dish with a very tiny baby centipede I fished out of my Magic Potion isopod bin. An unwelcome sight in an isopod bin.

Somehow I have baby centipedes in one of my isopod bins . . . despite how careful I am when introducing new stuff in there. :-/

FBI Special Agents Dana Scully and Fox Mulder

The only government agents I’m answering the door for.

I just paid $60 for a year of #PBSPassport, in a desperate bid to help @pbs.org Public Broadcasting survive. There’s a lot of cool science shows, dinosaur shows, murder mysteries, detective serials, period dramas. Y’all should check it out! $60 for a whole year is not very much compared to Netflix!

Photograph of a hand holding a small piece of tree bark, on which is painted a tiny horseshoe crab and other sea creatures admid the actual algae growing on the bark.

I was trying to think of something unique for today's #AugArthroAwe prompt Tri-spine Horseshoe Crab. While I was outside, I picked up some bark that had tiny algae on it, so I decided to draw on it.

yeah lemme know how that works out for ya, gov

Two hackberry emperors butterflies slurping at a sap-filled trench, which is actually a vertical slash in a Siberian elm. One has wings spread to show brown and white spots, the other has wings closed and proboscis dipped into the weeping sap.

A closeup of one of the hackberry emperors from the size, showing its multiple eye pseudopupils and dense but short white fur. Its proboscis is curled up in a tight circle. Phone shot—zoom in to see details accessible because the insect is so calm (*burp*) can get the phone within a centimeter.

Our nearby Siberian elms are in rough shape, weeping sap each summer. The sap weep is a bonanza for insects, which become incredibly docile and can be closely approached. 🔬 I’ll update this thread throughout the season—for now, please welcome our first arrivals, the hackberry emperors! #sapweep25

A couple of light brown Chocolate Zebra isopod babies on a leaf eating calcium powder, with darker chocolates below them.

The Chocolate Zebras I got were a mix of shades of browns, and you can see that reflected in the babies. Milk chocolate and dark chocolate both here

YouTube video by Etchy Pokémon's Most Broken Shiny Hunting Method Explained

NEW VIDEO 🚨 My first Gen 6 video! I researched Chain Fishing and finally determined how everything works. I even found a previously unknown fishing bonus! This was a lot of fun to research, hopefully shiny hunters find it useful.

$40 sketch comms are open!

Inside an iridescent oyster, a tiny black dragon is curled around the pearl. It seems to be laughing mischievously and triumphantly.

Precious treasure!

I use a tarot deck when I have trouble thinking. It's a great tool for reframing a question in my brain to find out what I'm really thinking about. There are divinatory tools out there that will help you think!

ChatGPT isn't one of them!

Damn. Good to know. I bought 3D printed food dishes for my isopods off amazon too, last year. The green leaf-shaped ones. I think it might be the same people. Anyway, I'll be sure to avoid that website.

Oh just an aesthetic mod to Deltarune's newest chapters, I'm one of those people who like Ralsei with his hat on (he's cuter when he looks more like a bug damnit)

This is happening to me with something else too. I'm making a game mod that a lot of people were like 'dude somebody needs to make that' but nobody was actually doing. So I was like 'well uhhh nobody is doing it so I guess I have to? even though I know nothing about how to do it???'

I don't know what I am doing. But people keep showing up. So I guess I'm doing good enough. But it's just weird.
I am trying to do a group craft event next. And I talk about it to members and people are like 'yeah that'd be cool' but they don't say much beyond that. So I guess I gotta wing it more.

Nobody said anything so I volunteered. And I'm still the only one hosting, but I've been doing it on a regular basis and people come to the meets. And in my head I am like.
'It fell to me. The socially anxious mess to organize these. This is weird. Why am I in charge. I am not good at this.'

It's strange when stuff falls to ME to do. Like, for example, the craft group I'm in. Some other lady started and owns the group. But she stopped hosting stuff. Tons of folks joined and there clearly was interest in the group though. The owner asked if anyone wanted to host meets while she was busy

oooo that's awesome

"fair" my ass

It's raining!! Summer thunderstorm!!!!
