Hello! I draw sometimes

My eyes are down here

trans women and trans men and nonbinary people and everyone else being friends and holding each other close and falling in love and thinking of each other. I'm making this my future. let's all be okay together

It has begun

I checked in on the bug universe again, and I learned that they have the "Skitter Sisters" and "Out the Net". This information may be a lot to handle but I hope you all can accept it.

In the bug universe, "Big Man" would be a moth and his name would be "Big Moth". Just a little window into the inner machinations of my twisted mind.

she’s mad at me for wearing clothes she doesn’t like

Well. You can. But maybe don’t.

“hi”

I cannot stress enough that I (currently at work) (at my job) squealed in delight when I opened this

You might know this tiny frog.

This is Mini mum (photo by Andolalao Rakotoarison), a species I had the pleasure to name—together with a team of amazing colleagues—back in 2019.

That was the start of a fascination with the process and consequences of miniaturisation for vertebrates. How the hell does this tiny frog manage to fit all of its vital organs—more or less all the same senses and organs that we have—into a package the size of a tic-tac‽ Why and how has it evolved to be so small? And why don't we get frogs that are much smaller?

Well, I just secured 1.5 MILLION Euros (!!!) in the form of a European Research Commission Starting Grant, to answer these and other related questions in the genomes of Mini frogs and other miniaturised vertebrates.

Because it turns out, there are *lots* of miniaturised vertebrates, and they push the boundaries of how small we think it is possible for a vertebrate to be! Here is a little graphic of some of them, scaled to a BIC ballpoint pen.

The project is called GEMINI: The Genomics of Miniaturisation in Vertebrates! You can read more about it on my website here, and in the press release, here!

First 4 pages of THE DANCING BONES for #MicroComicSummer 2024

I was secretly working on this comic all winter! It's 64 pages of lesbian horror nonsense. Keep your eyes peeled; the full comic is coming to an internet near you sometime soon.
