I don't design trophies. I'm just over here critiquing them. Getting the balance of "recognized as a trophy" and some degree of uniqueness isn't an easy task.
If the design looks like an upright vacuum, try again.

I just realized my (Seattle-based nonprofit) publisher has a sale on. I'm proud of the 2nd edition here--new science, new chapters on leafcutter bees and assorted solitary bee pests, and a bazillion new color photos. Lots of titles for outdoors topics of all kinds if pollinators aren't your jam.

Portland frogs follow the grand tradition of mocking fascists.
In Finland, years ago, it was LoLdiers of Odin clowns wanting to play with the Soldiers of Odin, who they perceived as fellow clowns.

The way to be a normal dude re: trans folks is to be supportive of them personally and militantly protective of their rights in politics.
If 'real men' are 'protectors,' fucking protect this

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

My friends created an immersive theater/escape room mashup in Seattle. I playtested it last week. Last night I saw the finished show. It's a good time with some theater, exploring, and light puzzling.
It runs this weekend and the next two, then disappears forever.
