Do you have a silent and brooding Blöödchëëp to your loud and screeching Heron? Then these shirts (and stickers ☝️) by @rosemarymosco.com may be perfect for you and your loved one! Your molting, featherless loved one!! 🐦 Topa.to/Romo 🤘

Things are getting increasingly rough for online creators. If you want to keep up with my talks, comics, and books, my very short monthly newsletter is the best way: buttondown.com/rosemarymosco and I also have a Patreon full of incredibly nice folks: www.patreon.com/cw/birdandmoon

I think maybe I'll give these out to trick-or-treaters. www.aiweirdness.com/the-worm-wit...

REMINDER: my recent collection ONE MESSAGE REMAINS was up for the Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction (!!) and would it have been there without Elise's calm, thoughtful, and patient editing? IT WOULD NOT. First Mate Tobler is an ESSENTIAL part of our SFFH ecosystem. Help her get heal and get home!

Ok yeah since multiple people asked, I'm personally fine. But no, Indonesia as a whole is not fine. We haven't been fine for a while. I'm actually surprised this didn't make international news earlier.

Work is going well today. I'm writing about cowbirds and I just looked up synonyms for "slut".

Another older Halloween comic. I lost the old file so I recently had to redraw it, and I had a lot of fun revisiting this.

Halloween Animals Support Group.

Any fish folks?

Nice shirt, you seem like a FUNGI! Get it? A fun GUY! Yeah, that one was off the old dome, thought of it all by myself. Do you get it though? Because fungi are mushrooms and fungi sounds like— wait where are you going? 🏃‍♀️💨 🍄 Topa.to/everything | #NationalMushroomDay 🍄

Halloween costumes for birders. This is from last year and someone actually did the sexy owl pellet one.

Wow this song. Trigger warning for a vivid depiction of the Starlight Tours violence against Indigenous people in Canada youtu.be/ip4nM7nDlB0?...

I need a new book rec! What's a book you've enjoyed recently that's smart and engrossing but isn't too full of trauma/torture/pain? (FYI, casual sexism and homophobia will make me put down a book even if it's lighthearted and fun.) I like fiction, nonfiction, anything is good. Thank you!

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.

Hmmm

GET READY 🥳 Next week #BlackMammalogistsWeek2026 begins! Here's a quick rundown of the many cool and informative events happening from Oct. 11th - Oct. 17th. Giveaways, panels, another drawing workshop, all culminating in our in-person event at NHMLAC in LA on Friday! Join us in the fun!

Okay Bsky. A request from a new friend I met at the conference today! I asked about his rad shirt and he said it belongs to his coworker's dad who always used to wear it to this conference and so he borrowed it. But he wants to see if he can find one for himself so he can match his friend's dad lol

I think @rosemarymosco.com may like this. "Achintya “Thea” Rao @RaoOfPhysics@scholar.social I cross-stitched a pigeon and made him a little custom crown. :) " scholar.social/@RaoOfPhysic...

Butterbutt. An older comic.

The most recent episode of Today Explained really helped me understand what happened at Cornell, and the embarrassing game of broken telephone that is now being blamed on the victim. Highly recommended, but it also made me so angry and sad.

Last night I saw the Alcest Deafheaven Mastodon triple bill and it was so good. If you get the chance, go. A lot of folks at the show hadn’t heard of Alcest and I think they were blown away, it was so beautiful

Fundraising for mutual aid to support the New Bedford communities currently being hit hard by ICE activity

Elite athletes, musicians, actors & more often use cultural importance as an excuse for why they're exempt from cutting their emissions. In this new analysis led by @manuelsuter.bsky.social, we argue the opposite: visibility and influence should raise the bar, not lower it! Read more:

There’s way too much Harry Potter cosplay at this convention and I’m tired of being told “most people don’t know or care about JKR’s politics.” It is 2026 and she is actively getting laws changed to harm trans people and she brags about how Harry Potter sales fund her rampage of hate.

Oh this is interesting! Climate scientist @leahstokes.bsky.social shows that candidates who talk about climate change *get a bump in preference from voters*. "Common knowledge" is that climate is a losing issue, but this survey shows the opposite is true: voters care. mailchi.mp/9af4ccd3280e...

BLÜEDCHËEP!! (cc @rosemarymosco.com )

I have a very respectable 20-yr sample size. While the number of men sending me AI generated content has increased, overall the number telling me that they’ve solved the problems of the universe has not changed. So for me, it’s just the mechanism that has changed, not the frequency.
