A golden bumble bee stands on some milkweed flowers and in a punky font it says “biodiversity matters plant native flowers”. The background is black and white lines

Trying to work on some street art/messaging material around native plants for spring. V

This is your reminder to get a library card. They have so many services and basically all of them are free.

A wider field view of Westerlund 1. A dense cluster of bright stars, each with six large and two small diffraction spikes, due to the telescope’s optics. They have a variety of sizes depending on their brightness and distance from us in the cluster, and different colours reflecting different types of star. Patches of billowing red gas can be seen in and around the cluster, lit up by the stars. Small stars in the cluster blend into a background of distant stars and galaxies on black.

this is literally what it feels like to have astigmatism

A guide to there’s something in the water on an ocean background

Pitch: Halle thinks she's hit the jackpot when she nabs her dream post-grad internship aboard a research ship-until she finds out her academic rival is going to be her bunkmate. But Halle soon has larger problems than spatting with her annoyingly pretty roomie or sifting seaweed. When rogue waves knock out the ship's instrumentation and an eerie song swirls up from the deep, mutiny threatens. There might be something worse in the water than sea creatures and ice-and it's growing braver. In a dark ocean background

Comps: Images for the cover of The Luminous Dead, Our Wives Under the Sea, and The X Files on a dark ocean background

Themes & tropes • såpphic AF • body h0rror • n0nbinary MC • h0rror romance • if evil why hot • religious trauma • only one (bunk)room • rivals to lovers to [redacted] • light Orpheus & Eurydice retelling

Everything about THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE WATER, an adult cosmic deep sea horror (and a soft retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice), in one place!

🕯️🕯️I really believe in this book, ESPECIALLY given the US's milieu right now🕯️🕯️

omg I love the luminous dead and our wives under the sea this sounds sooo good

twitter is genuinely so heinous these days im so glad im here for good now like I can't open any kind of tweet without seeing absolutely horrendous replies from trump supporters it's so sickening

what am I supposed to do now how am I supposed to be okay when this country clearly despises me and wants me gone

genuinely don't even go on twitter anymore because it's just so exhausting over there 😭 much better vibes here

That's what I'll always be: A thing lost at sea. #outerwilds #outerwildsfanart

thinking very hard about subnautica 2 and ithaca rn,,, can't wait to put her into More Situations on another alien water planet

doubt you're still doing this but still want to show off my favorite guy bc I love her <3

bioluminescence 🐟

don't worry about your writing and art appealing to everyone. it's not possible. nothing is objectively 100% universally loved. just do what you want, and you'll find your fellow freaks and weirdos once they see the beacon you've lit. you'll find your place, bro

Lifecycle
