In January, the Ballot Box patrons voted for me to design a blue mud dauber wasp character! I drew them in a number of possible outfits. 👕👗

i saw this article pop up in my search a few days ago and it got me really excited! so i'm sharing it with the rest of you critters on cohost!!

in short, there is concrete evidence that suggests 'conscious experience' can be observed in a much wider breadth of species than previously thought, including cephalopods, crabs, and insects! it also suggests that such conscious experience is likely present in all vertebrate species, bringing reptiles, amphibians, and fish into the fold alongside mammals and birds.

the findings are based on several studies, and are the backing for the New York Declaration on Animal Consciousness, unveiled at a one-day conference on the subject earlier in April, and signed by numerous experts in related fields.

and now, if you'll excuse me, i'm going to ramble a bit about the topic myself!
