Would anyone like a Mothperson design for $80? They can be a custom design or a moth-ified version of a preexisting character. Here’s my most recent example:

Well, it's official. After our paper last year (onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....), the Slender-billed Curlew is officially declared Extinct today.

Scientists dream of describing new species, not writing their obituary and epitaph, knowing that they are gone forever #ornithology

I was thinking “oh no, I told my friend I would be asleep by now, she’ll see my posts and know I’m still awake.”

And then I remembered she is supposed to be taking a social media break. So if she sees this, she’s cheating.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

Finagling my weighted blanket into its cover was like climbing Everest.

I hope that’s the case! I don’t want to be a hater! I just want to be able to play more without getting frustrated. There is so much to love about it.

It’s SO cute, and it has really helped with my anxiety. IDK if it’s just my console that is causing the crashes, but I think it’s the game.

I was really having fun with Amber Isle on the switch but it’s constantly crashing now, giving error messages about the number of items in the world, and it’s just really janky. I wanted to like it more, but it’s kind of unplayable.

Man, trying to put clean sheets on my bed while the edible is kicking in feels like defusing a bomb.

I'm doing another print run of these "Biology is Bigger than Binaries" shirts!

Back, quite literally, by popular demand. Bullying works, sure, but so does a bunch of nice cutie patooties politely asking!

Order 'em now, I'll mail 'em in early November.
