Was stressed with irl jobrelated stuff.
I see there are quite a lot of new people here.
And I feel the need to state this:

This is my private blog, where I post mostly fish and nonfandom related personal art-things!

Nothing else!
Thank you!

this #sturgeonsaturday is brought to you by the cutest creature in existence~ a tiny white sturgeon

yesterday with the help of citizen scientists we tagged & took minimally invasive samples from a bunch of lil sturgies to assess population stressors ~ so great to see these untagged juveniles! 🧪🌎👩🏻‍🔬🌐

Cancel the Christie's AI Art Auction

Nicole Sales Giles & Sebastian Sanchez

Christie’s, New York

Dear Nicole and Sebastian,

We are writing to express serious concern over your upcoming auction of AI art at Christie’s.

Many of the artworks you plan to auction were created using AI models that are known to be trained on copyrighted work without a license. These models, and the companies behind them, exploit human artists, using their work without permission or payment to build commercial AI products that compete with them.

Your support of these models, and the people who use them, rewards and further incentivizes AI companies’ mass theft of human artists’ work.

We ask that, if you have any respect for human artists, you cancel the auction.

Yours sincerely,

The undersigned artists

Working most Sundays there is little chance for me but doodling the #Sundayfishsketch. But as I decided learning to sketch this year - at least I started.
On stone. Of course.
Will colour it during the week.

One more slithering shape for #SundayFishSketch in honor of the upcoming #LunarNewYear #YearOfTheSnake. It's 日本鰻 / 白鰻 / 二ホンウナギ / Anguilla japonica! On English-speaking menus as "unagi" and of course, also among #TaiwanFishes #台灣魚類 #臺灣魚類 species. 新年快樂!🦑🐡🧪

Wingspan? Birds. Wyrmspan? Dragons. Finspan? Well, it’s about fish. And it rules. Every game’s better down where it’s wetter — take it from Charlie

We had @charlietheel.bsky.social dive into @stonemaiergames.com's Finspan. @elizhargrave.bsky.social's modern classic continues to flourish on the table.

An illustration of a Spotted Tinselfish. The fish is diamond shaped, with the body being nearly as deep as it is long. The fine, elongated scales are silvery/metallic in color, and the fish has a very large eye. 5 long spines are in front of the dorsal fin, and 2 spines are in front of the anal fin. The tail fin has black tips.

Among the most agile of flying creatures, dragonflies have evolved to perform quick aerial maneuvers both to attract mates and to catch prey midair.

Now, researchers have documented and explained a unique stunt the insects perform so quickly most people never see it. scim.ag/40mKKBI

ENJOY a relaxing swim with some local leeches!

Yes, LEECHES🪱🪱🪱
#Leechnado

These leeches were observed in a roadside stream entering Green Bay, Wisconsin, during Northern Pike fieldwork.

These are predatory leeches, not parasitic blood-sucking leeches. They feed on other small invertebrates!
