Printed another 3000 of these for distribution in 2026 and now my whole house has that freshly printed graphic novel smell oh MAN it smells good. Like comic shop. A unique inky smell. Mm.

I get lots of compliments on my shirt! Highly recommended!
Tomorrow IRL markets in Philly start, which means a bunch of squid facts shop items will sell out!

We have a few Biology is Bigger than Binaries shirts (designed by @franzanth.bsky.social) left. They're comfy & colors printed great!

Once they're gone that's it.

Get 'em now:

Remembering to empty my rain barrel on a sunny day before the whole damn thing freezes because I DO have my life together (no I do not) and I AM good at keeping a house (I really am not).

Hung out with people last night who make me laugh so hard I feel like my abs are gonna fall off. Finding your freaks is such a gift.

Last night at Art Club, one of the kids showed me his notebook with *pages* of shark drawings & I said "A couple of my friends are shark biologists" & his jaw dropped. So much for getting the kids to like squids!

First early sketch for our Biodiversity Beers project is ready for a SNEAK PEEK.

We’ve got 3 Philly artists designing pro-biodiversity messages that we’ll print on pint glasses, which will be hosted at bars around the city with seeds for pickup 👀

Kicking it off with @the666cat.bsky.social

Today seems like a really good day to tell your friends to stop using Spotify because they invest in AI drone strikes and love ICE 👍

Barn Owls are one of the species that suffer the most rodenticide poisoning. We’re killing the best weapon we have against rodents w/ our inability to use proper pest control management. Help us change that by donating to our campaign #birds #birdsofprey #ratpoisoniswildlifepoison

At teen art club I dont give the kids plates “because I never took a plate when I was a teen and look at me now”. We can pretend this is because “reduce reuse recycle” but the truth is every month I forget to get plates. For the 24th month in a row, we are plateless.

I would show you my Spotify wrapped, but I switched away from Spotify a couple months ago, and it would only say “Sarah listened to a frankly troubling amount of Sleep Token this year” so it wouldn’t even be interesting anyway.

"I had two lattes and a smoothie today"
You sure are caffeinated!
Wow! Ha ha, that's a lot of liquid?
Somebody's working hard today!

"I drank three glasses of milk today"
Oh dude what the fuck
You monster!!
What it the MATTER with you?

It's all about framing, isn't it?

Got a Stocks cake for the teen art club kids tonight. It’s the 2 year anniversary of teen art club 🥹

(Stocks is a long-standing bakery in Philly that makes pound cake. Every wedding, christening, birthday, & other major celebration in my family has had Stocks since time immemorial).
