You got pretty darned close!!

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet!

Ya did good! 😄

Thank you @minordeviation.bsky.social for letting me borrow from your collection!! ;w;

I'm reading as much empowering trans fiction as I can this winter. I just sped through Magica Riot by @magicariot.com in one sitting and I thought it was a blast. Very adorkably girly and queer. On to the next!

Shingles caused my grandfather severe chronic pain that lasted for years.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade walking around a microscopic volvox algae colony. 🫧🐻🧪

I wish inventing was easier. It turns out after you invent one thing, you have to invent a whole bunch of other things to make the first thing quickly and consistently. Just an ever-growing spiral of wild new inventions.

What a coincidence! Kind adorkable comic artists are some of mine. 😊

We're trying real hard to make that happen!!!

Y'all. New internal analysis just dropped. Owlfly's new YellowJacket™ insulation is around half the cost of traditional mineral wool once you factor in shipping costs (because ours packs down way better).

I've been running around the office giddy, showing everyone graphs. This is absurd. 🧪

Thank you very much!! 😄💛

Thank you for the work that you do.

"Communion" - acrylic, colored pencil and gold pen on wood panel, 2025

Big breakthroughs in machine prototyping this week! >:3

I do some! I always include a chapter about evolution in my bug books.

Digital artwork of a dragon head caterpillar (Polyura schreiber) with the many dots on its horned head and chubby body rendered to resemble little stars, a few actually being tiny four-pointed stars. Above its head a partially eclipsed moon is framed between its inner horns, and large four-pointed stars rest on the center of its upper head and hang on either side of its head between its outer horns. More stylized rays and stars radiate out into the edges of the image, rich textured gold against a dark blue framing the green bug's body. The caterpillar is outlined in metallic gold and has fairly realistic face details and feet. Art by Moth Monarch.

(not least of which being occultation, latency, and the fact that its location doesn't change the broader lack of market demand)

If they were suggesting putting computers on Mars or Titan or something I could at least understand it from a thermodynamics point of view. It would obviously be stupid for other reasons though

What’s your favorite shark species?

Mine is definitely the blacktip reef shark. It’s not the most interesting or special looking one out there but I somehow really like them.

Besides, it's only fair that I draw my namesake!

Moooood

I just schedule an emotional breakdown every few days as my schedule permits

soooo pretty!

Remembering my friend Richard Forrest, a marine reptile expert, with a week or two of marine reptile artworks. I'll start with this old acrylic painting, called The Wreck, which I created for Richard back in 2004.

Congratulations Astrid! You are one of my favorite neurodivergent queer people in science. 😊
