It's time for #InverteFest, BRING OUT YOUR BUGS!

Go find bugs, draw bugs, have a seance with bugs but most importantly share bugs (all inverts).

We'll have a special announcement soon as well.

Plus, we've got this poster in multiple languages on our website! www.metrofieldguide.com/invertefest/

What is #InverteFest?
It's a periodic event where we invite you to celebrate the overlooked invertebrate fauna around you and share the joys of discovery online. #InverteFest takes place every April, August, & December over the last 7 days of the month.

Going out?

2. Share observations online using the hashtag #InverteFest
3. Interact with others who are celebrating the event

It’s #earthscienceweek so I thought I’d go into a bit more detail on how educators can use to our Quick Quake tool to demonstrate how @earthquakes.au seismologists quickly calculate the location and magnitude of an earthquake. It works on macOS machines with Apple Silicon too.

Thanks. And I'm glad you had that grad student to help when you needed it.

Thanks for all the spoons. In return please enjoy the tiny fossil below, it's from my talk, deets in the alt text. Talks still not done and it's looking like crap. But it's more finished that it was.

Microscope photo of a tiny 3.2 billion year old microfossil that looks like a the little grey ghost of a raisin. It's about 20 microns long, or 0.02 mm

I'm really struggling today but have a big presentation I need to finish by the end of the day and have ready for Monday. I can't go into deets but I'm really burned out on what used to be a source of joy. If anyone can send spoons and motivation that would be appreciated.

Nice paint job. It's amazing the leap in mini sculpt quality between late 80's to late 90's to now. I thought these things were amazing back in the day.

I'm painting a little series of colorful autumn minis. These will be added to my shop sometime next week. Sign up for my emails on my website if you'd like to have early access.

Photo of a hand holding an original autumn landscape painting by Tisha Mark, "Autumn Mini No. 2502" 4"x4" oil on Ampersand Gessobord (2025). The painting shows an autumn landscape where the leaves are turning red, orange, and gold, and the grass is starting to turn a lighter shade of green. There is a body of water reflecting colors from the leaves as well as colors from the sky which is purple, peach, and blue. A paint palette with puddles of oil paint and a paintbrush and palette knife are visible in the background.
