Hello to new and familiar faces!
In my old life, I was a vertebrate palaeontologist who studied fossilized bird and dinosaur footprints.
Now, I work as a remote medical scribe for a podiatry clinic. I do #BirdGlamour a #scicomm project where I create makeup looks based on birds and other critters!🐡

Face encircled with a lichen ring with eyes and lips made up in Pacific Golden Plover egg colors and patterns: white with speckled black, brown, and rust.

Full face makeup of a Great Horned Owl skull.

Eye makeup in Red-throated Loon colors and patterns: grey lip with upper thin white and black outer eye stripes, under Eye in rust red, black lips.

Full skull face makeup with painted on black and orange Larder Beetles.

It's a rough time of year bringing in the oatmeal herds for the nightly milking.

Lisa Buckley @lisavipes.bsky.social · 1d

I used a more finely ground coffee in my moka pot this morning:
1. I can now see through time,
2. I forgot to make oatmilk last night and had to use coconut milk vanilla ice cream in self defense.
