Reading is political.

Reading has always been political.

Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

Yeah, the wrong shades can definitely make a mess. Which is also why I’m debating lol.

Gotta make sure it’s the right shade of teal so it wont go a muddy purple.

Too late, melted all my hair off.

I don’t have the dye, I wanted to bleach my hair and see how light it got first.

And that’s why I wanted teal, for the green tones in it to cancel out the pink because I hate purple on me.

Well since teal is a greenish blue, the green should (thanks to color theory) cancel out the pink.

I’m just debating on what to do 😭

My hair is still relatively pink.

The question is do I

A) bleach my hair again and see what happens.

B) Just stay pink.

C) Put the teal on and hope it works.

Bleaching my hair before work because apparently I don’t think life is chaotic enough.

As a large predator it’s likely Tarbosaurus hunted large prey like Saurolophus or Barsboldia (large hadrosaurs).

Tarbosaurus Tarbosaurus also lived alongside Velociraptors. Though it’s unlikely that they would have interacted much.

No thoughts, just dinosaurs.

Tarbosaurus it was a large tyrannosaurid from the Late Cretaceous that lived in Asia.

While closely related to Tyrannosaurus in size and appearance, Tarbosaurus had much smaller arms, and a different skull structure.

I was going to say something witty or sarcastic, but I’m genuinely at a loss for words.

Yes! Movies lately feel so lazy, but Sinners was captivating in so many ways. It’s one of the few ones I’ve actually watched again.

And I’m always here to yap away if you want! 😊

Men think this is the female gaze. This is the male interpretation of what they believe is the female gaze.

The female gaze is Mr. Darcy or Jack Black in The Holiday, Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon a Time, and like, the entire cast of The Mummy (1999).

I LOVED Sinners! It’s definitely one of the better movies to have come out lately!

Not a wrong description of them.

Arlo x͜× @feraldactal.bsky.social · 1d

VERY BIG!

Arlo x͜× @feraldactal.bsky.social · 1d

Gigantoraptor was also toothless, and most likely had a horny beak, although we don’t have the upper jaw to be sure.

They are believed to be normally herbivorous, but opportunistically omnivorous.

They were pretty weird dudes.

Kinda like giant Cretaceous turkeys.

The fossils include a lower jaw, arms, some of the pelvis, legs and tail.

It was also likely feathered.

Did we find evidence of feathers? No.

Then how did we know it was feathered?

Because we have found direct evidence of other oviraptorosaurs that were feathered.

This dino fact is right behind you.

Gigantoraptor, it lived in the Late Cretaceous. It was an oviraptorosaur.

The largest oviraptorosaur we have found, reaching up to 6 meters tall (20 ft) and 8 meters (26 ft) long, which is impressive considering the only specimen we have is a young adult.

Or it could be a sign of an extinction event. Caused by competition from Ornithischian (bird hipped) herbivores.

Sauropods were saurischian (lizard hipped) dinosaurs.

Unfortunately we just don’t know what caused this gap.

The end of the hiatus came when the titanosaur Alamosaurus emerged.
