One of the easiest things we can do to help wildlife in cities is plant native plants. We’re going to make this as easy as possible for Philly people this winter/spring by giving them the seeds they need to start.
I need YOUR help prepping those seeds on Dec 17.

The part of all this that shocked me the most is that I’ll ALSO be illustrating it. So if you liked my zines MILFs for Mother Earth or “Everything Sucks Let’s do something” you’re really gonna love this.

Big news: I’m writing a book!!
I’ll be writing & illustrating a beginner’s guide to appreciating wildlife in cities/suburbs, & how all of us can make our neighborhoods better for those animals.
Thank you to my book agent @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social & the folks at Storey for believing in this book!

Otis sat on a receipt with a piece of masking tape on it and now she’s running around the house like a bat out of hell with receipt paper flying behind her. She’s inventing a whole new kind of ribbon dancing.
(It’s ok I caught her and got it off)

I was crawling around on the astroturf'd porch of our hotel room, ass in the air, trying my level best to get this spider to look as cute as possible. They were a cooperative model 🥰

Hi, it's me again
I have these calendars. They are so pretty. @megstampede.bsky.social made them. They have a bunch of animals on them, like crows and humpbacks and cuttlefish and salamanders.
Each month has facts about the animals AND actions you can take to help them

Getting on the train to NYC to see @ologies.bsky.social first ever live show! Saw this hunky train being advertised but apparently our janky American tracks can’t support them at their max speed. Why are we like this (don’t answer that, I know why).

Alright there’s room for improvement, given the spooky Philadelphia basement setup down here among the paint cans & old maid chair my dad spontaneously dropped off, but this is an extremely promising start.

I got these rainbow pencils at the art store for $1 and they’re the best $1 I ever spent. I love adding little rainbow hearts to the shipping stickers.

People sometimes ask me for a business card, and I never have a card, but I almost always have some random assortment of science education material on me. So when a man asked me for my card earlier today I dug around in my pockets & handed him a MILF zine, horseshoe crab card, and a squid sticker 🤷🏻♀️

Planted my first Philadelphia tree at Norris square park this morning under the guidance of my tree teacher, Petra (age 9).

No no it’s good that we have winter I’m happy that it’s cold. If I was wearing shorts right now that would be bad because, you know, climate change. I’m always talking about stopping climate change, of course, so I’m pleased that I’m frozen.
