Reintroduction time! My name is Sophiane and I am an ecologist and science communicator. My areas of focus are: aquatic invasive species, crayfish, bats, feral cats, memes, and wildlife exploitation on social media. I am indigenous (Kabyle Amazigh) & queer.
A picture of me squatting in the grass above a transparent plastic bin, wearing a jellyfish swim shirt and amphibious pants. I am holding a virile crayfish. Barbie meme with “invasive” centered on the bright pink badge. A bunch of invasive species have been photoshopped on top. Me holding an angry little brown bat in a blue nitrile gloved hand. Me standing next to a large, clear freshwater lake. I am wearing swimming shorts, a bikini top, and a snorkel. Holding in my left hand an otter spine that I found underwater.

American coot feeding its youngster. I love these tiny cootling weirdos #birds 🌿 (Look at its teeny wings! 😭)
Close view of a black adult bird feeding a youngster on a marsh pond. The adult kind of looks like a big chicken with a white beak and red eye, and the small one is a ridiculous explosion of orange hairy feathers, a bright red bill and a bald pink head. It’s tiny wings are flapping with excitement as the parent offers a green morsel.

propaganda we're not falling for:
- there's no nature in cities/urban areas
- we already know everything about plants & animals
- nature photography requires expensive camera equipment
- you need a degree to contribute to science
- you need to travel far to see interesting species

graphic design is my passion
A picture of a sign posted on the exterior glass door of a butterfly house. It has text and a picture of a white king quail. It reads: Watch where you step! WARNING: RECKLESS QUAIL Our white button quail doesn't have good survival instincts & likes to be underfoot. Please keep an eye on the ground & don't step on her (or any of the butterflies).

Solidly the best things I’ve ever bought on facebook marketplace.
Facebook marketplace listing for “styrofoam horse heads, $20”. Picture shows two large, hand-carved horse heads- one white and one dark grey. Picture of the two large, hand-carved horse heads- one white and one dark grey- in front of a Subaru forester.

While I work on this year's valentine, here's last year's.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a wood frog stands on a pink background. The text says: "Feeling unlucky in love? Did you know that male Wood Frogs have difficulty perceiving members of their species? Here are some things they’ve been documented trying to mate with." "Spotted Salamander." The wood frog looks at a large yellow-spotted salamander, with a heart over the frog's head. "Cattail." The frog looks amorously at a large cattail flower or "sausage." "Green frog." The wood frog looks at a large confused-looking green frog. "Dead fish." The wood frog stares at a large dead fish. "Live fish." The wood frog looks amorously at a large trout. "Pine cone." The wood frog looks at a large pine cone. The final text says: "Sorry, there's no moral here. I just thought you'd enjoy this fact about frogs."

I found some converse on sale for $30 and decided it was the perfect opportunity to learn embroidery.
