Kepler (my smallest BDFB) doing TALL STANCE and also oh shit I just realized you can see the little hairs on his antennae, females don't have those (although I already knew he was male since his favorite hobby is trying to mate with everyone while they ignore him lol)

cleaning my space and found one remaining trilobite bandana. Listing it in my shop at 10:30 CST (in around 15 minutes)

I’ve also discounted some of my old stock that has been fairly stagnant, and some newer large items. I am quite nervous about the future of my shop (although I intend to stick around even if it means massively slimming down what I am able to offer in the coming months)

Microbiome Arts means the world to me. I currently work another job to make additional money and to help run my art business with a little less anxiety. I am looking at spending an additional $800 in tariffs (god willing it doesn’t potentially increase again) when my pending package arrives, and that is money I was planning on putting towards the last $4k of my student loans so I can finally be free of them . I am frankly incredibly frustrated as my shop is primarily what earns me my money in a way that does not put me through the constant cycle of overwork and autistic burnout I find in my minimum wage day job, and like many I’m struggling to plan ahead with the uncertainty that has come with the numbers changing every day this week.

If my art makes you happy, and you have a few dollars to spend I would be so incredibly thankful for those of you that are able to help me get over this immediate hurtle. I know we’re all figuring this out together and my heart goes out to other artists and small businesses in the same situation right now. If you are not financially able, a share or repost is equally appreciated! We are all in this together. Please take care of yourselves!

If anyone wanted to know:

RIP Terry, you were a real one

(a real loud one lmao)

He was a field cricket i found in my house and kept for his natural life. He was annoying, but it was winter, and i didn't want to just put him outside to freeze.

Field crickets are a smooth, shiny black, but in natural light, they have a gold shimmer. I found that fascinating.
