NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.
Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.
(🎥 Al Jazeera)
Of all the beautifully rugged places on Earth that are not improved by giant rusting steel walls, this is the most.
It’s 8:07 pm in Iran right now
Meanwhile, while we're engaging with this through social media feeds, I keep thinking about the real people on the ground who don’t get to experience this as news but as their immediate, lived reality. Most of those people didn't ask for any of this. They are human beings, with heartbeats.
7:30pm in Iran right now.
For almost a century generations of scholars and thinkers have tried to understand why the Germans sleepwalked into disaster. Future generations will focus on a different case.
I hope you are recovering well. 💙
Deep, steady breaths.
I hope your week is filled with love, care and you’re able to find peace in the chaos. Try to remember that right now, in this moment you are safe, acknowledge what you feel and know it’s valid, let yourself embrace every breath. Know that you’re loved, the world keeps spinning, flowers are blooming
❤️
Deep breaths
It’s okay to take care of yourself.
You are important.
Our reps have left us, our pleas fall on deaf ears, our protests are either ignored, their existence denied, or called cute and quaint and ineffectual, but we get shot in the face for anything other than compliance. I’m so scared and angry rn
I just did my calls and leaned fully into my fury and sense of injustice in my voicemails.
Now I'm gonna switch gears and help some local students with their science projects.
Please act today, if you can.
The rest of the world should probably collectively stand up to the U.S. right now, tbh
Flowers are coming up through the leaves from 30 year old bulbs, perseverance.
Enjoy the little things
~back into the shadows I go~
Remember to take care of yourself, the little things matter and you are enough ❤️
Love fiercely, be kind to those who deserve it, don’t let them break you.
Love yall.
Hope you find some peace in the chaos today

The Lummi (Lhaq'temish) nation are a recognized tribe belonging to the Coast Salish peoples, from the region that is now Bellingham, WA.
Their word for the orca (Orcinus orca) is:
Qwe ‘lhol mechen
It translates to "our relatives below the waves."
Let's talk about 'qwe ‘lhol mechen'.

Two small spider terrariums, naturally planted with small live plants, wood, mosses and tree bark
A regal jumping spider in the back of her new enclosure, looking at the fish tank next door. She is orange, black and cream colored.
Also made a new terrarium for my spider and a hopeful soon neighbor for her.
Thought yall would enjoy
Back to my cave I go to look at moss and critters ❤️
Parrot-Winged Trilobite from “A Field Guide to Flying Trilobites”. Ink drawing with digital paint (ArtRage). Green feathery winged trilobite perched on a branch, with some field notes in cursive below. Neutral background, except the trilobite appears to be on vellum taped to the page. That’s a trompe d’œil effect, I painted on. #sciart

Please take care of yourself, your neighbors, your family.
Love one another, try to be kind when you can.
I am a fan of the ideology of love strongly, share peace, but carry a big stick.
We are stronger together and most people are inherently good.
Love yall. Take care. ❤️

I spend a lot of time focusing on the people in my life who have done so much for me, who support me, my family and friends.
I cannot emphasize enough how important is it to remember and think of the people who love you and to know it’s okay to lean on them. I would not be okay without them.
I’ve been struggling physically with pain a lot but I’ve been able to keep my spirits up.
Stepping away from social media has been a life changer but I have had to try and find a balance of being informed while taking care of myself.
Im trying to focus on the good in life and things I can do.
I’m mostly doing well, kind of!
I had a surgery (laparoscopy) and got deep tissue endometriosis confirmed. The relief to have a diagnosis is palpable and I hope I have a chance for a future without pain. The medication I’ll be taking is brutal and likely will put me through menopause temporarily..
Hi everyone!
Just stopping in for a minute. I’m still taking a break from social media and focusing on health.
A friend threw me a link and I needed to sign in, figured I’d give a small update for those who have wondered where I’ve gone and care lol
This month has been chaos, good and bad
A 3x3 grid of various artworks by me with me in the center square holding two puppets performing one of my comics at the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, surrounded by me are art of a neuron, art of a brain, art of organs, art of fishes, art of another brain, art of toucans, art of a goldfish and art of James Bond inspired by Goldeneye video game
2025 was one of the worst years of my life, I lost my job of 16 years in February (I'm still looking for a new one, if you know of any design/comms jobs), so while 2025 still sucks, my art has gotten a chance to grow and for that, I am incredibly grateful for the time #ArtvsArtist #ArtvsArtist2025

About halfway through my semester, I was having a rough time. The delightful @ksciencearts.bsky.social (who totally loves me) got me a copy of Amber Isle by @ambertail.games
Immediately I got lost in it.
I had to do some fan art, left is my gentleman Meliora, and right is my wife's char York.
