I hear today is #WorldSnakeDay Snakes are beautiful animals, deserving of our appreciation and respect. This is a Kirtland's snake, a small Midwestern snake endangered or threatened (like many snakes) across most of its range. #snakes #SciArt

That Vance is a direct line to Thiel and Andreessen is truly important. Trump wants their money. Thiel wants to sell billions in Palantir contracts to power Trump’s mass surveillance/ethnic cleansing infrastructure. Pence was the Christian Nationalists’ guy. Vance is reactionary capital’s.
Are you a fan of all of those guys who are directly responsible for making the internet an unusable dogshit hellhole? Well boy do I have a VP for you.

Great Sapphirewing, the most brightly-colored bird from this project. It's pretty bizarre that the tiny, sparkly hummingbirds are part of a group whose other members are mostly brown and grey 🐡🪶

"Where are you going, Dad?" "I'm going to get twizzlers. I need twizzlers very badly right now." "Can I come with you?" "Sure!" "This is what it's like to be an adult." "That's right. You can go get twizzlers anytime you want. It's awesome."

Weekend WIP, the great black digger wasp! Not mentally prepared in the slightest for the workweek. Art is all my brain desires. 🙃 #SciArt #art #Entomology

Aileen Cannon is a good example of how Project 2025 would work. You put a barely qualified fascist in every government position that matters and BINGO. Fash times in the USA!

Raised fists and bloody ears aren’t the only important images in the world. Make time for other thought-provoking images, and comment. 🐡

the Constitution now effectively reads, in its entirety: "Donald Trump Is America's Special Boy and Can Do No Wrong"
Judge Cannon went and did it. She has dismissed the stolen documents case against Trump on Clarence Thomas’s (nonsense) appointments clause rationale.

My tweet from 2020 when Trump had covid. Revenge of the Sith was a banger of an allegory and I think more people should recognize that. x.com/flyingtrilob...

"Winter Moon" took me 10 years to finish - sometimes art takes awhile. #SciArt #Paleoart
Abandoning a WIP doesn’t mean you're giving up. It's okay to pick it up later when the time feels right, or your skills feel more suited.

What an absolute joy it is to pick up a random book in a book store and it has artists you follow online in it. Guys. Some of us made it. Some of us can make it. 💙

When you write your stories from broads strokes moving towards greater detail, it's a nightmare working with someone who likes to work from detail to big picture. This is my nightmare.
