is the #direwolf back?
1/3

#snowwolpard #paleontology #fossil #direwolves #colossalbiosciences
a doodle of two white wolves standing beside eachother under text that reads "is the dire world back?" a doodle of a Time magazine cover with a white wolf on it with the word "Extinct" crossed out. The text reads "earlier this week, TIME announced that genetic engineering company colossal biosciences inc. brought back extinct dire wolves..." a doodle of a dire wolf skull stained la brea brown with a DNA strand behind it. text reads "...the company looked at sequenced DNA from two fossils and made 20 edits to the gray wolf genome to recreate some of these dire wolf 'traits' they found." text reads "these edits caused: a larger size", accompanied by a drawing of two wolves of different sizes, "a white coat" besides a white wolf, "and denser fur in cloned wolves" beside a white wolf with fluffy fur.

still angry. you would think maybe the people who care for rare little groundwater animals in places with ongoing water shortages would also care about the encroach of useless generative AI toys and the construction of massive water-sucking data centers and things like that. guess that's just me

the consistent usage and even promotion of genAI by institutions claiming to work in or support environmental conservation has me in a state of hopelessness when it comes to our climate crisis.

its also fun to play with aging
A screenshot from the Hero Forge character creator of a young male character dressed in a green tunic with pointed elf ears and horns. His left horn (viewer right) is broken and he is carrying a sword in his left hand. His yellow eyes are staring towards the viewer with a soft expression. A screenshot from the Hero Forge character creator of an adult male character, the same horned character as the previous image but aged up a few years. He is still adorned in green, but this time it is a thick coat to match his furry winter boots. In his left hand he is carrying a heavy sword with purple magic swirling around it. His right hand is casting an ominous purple spell with a human skull emerging from it.

Shop updates:
Initially I wanted to come off Etsy hiatus in time for the holidays but unfortunately it looks like I may not re-open my Etsy until 2026 due to personal matters. Thanks for your patience. ❤️

fossil shop in lake arrowhead is crazyyyy
An image of a fake mosasaud skull crudely carved into stone with a fairly lumpy shape and too-smooth texture. The teeth appear to be real and placed onto the skull. On it is a small paper label that reads "5,000 Mosasaur Head". In front of it are bags of mammal teeth and a box of fossil vertebrae.

Thanks to everyone who came by my #2025SVP poster yesterday! Very happy to talk about a large chunk of my master’s thesis.

Thank you to my supervisor James Parham, as well as @medenadragon.bsky.social and @wolpard.bsky.social for their artwork which helped to bring our animal to life.

A screenshot of the game Webkinz, with a purple dragon wearing a golden crown selected as a pet. He is standing in a wizard-themed room with candelabras and two thrones. One of the thrones has a pink dragon sitting on it.

I work in an exhibit with live spiders, and I think I have lost count how often people misheard "green lynx spider" as "green link spider"...
Two illustrations of a green lynx spider (green spider with two bigger forward facing eyes and lighter colored legs) stacked on top of one another. The one on top is labeled "Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans)", the actual name of the spider. The one below is wearing a green, pointy hat, carrying a blue shield and sword drawn to look like the Hylian shield and Master sword from the "Legend of Zelda", series and is labeled "Green Link Spider (Peucetia hylia)".

Really interesting spider species we got today in our spider exhibit at work

California Republic c. 66 MYA

#augustynolophus #dinosaur #paleoart
An image of the California flag, but instead of a brow bear on green grass, it is a brown duckbill dinosaur (Augustynolophus morrisi) on brown ground with two green ferns. Like a normal California flag, the background is white with a red bar on the very bottom of the flag. Between the duckbill and the red bar reads "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC", and there is a red star in the upper left hand corner.

Chat, hear me out: Shakra is Jewish
An image of Shakra from the game Hollow Knight: Silksong. She is a tall bug character with a white mask-like face and gold thorax and abdomen. Her four limbs are black and she has two large chunky bracelets on each wrist. She is carrying a bundle of rolled up maps on her back.

California flag but make it Pleistocene

Smilodon fatalis, state fossil of California

#smilodon #paleoart
An image of the California flag, but instead of a brow bear on green grass, it is a brown saber tooth cat (Smilodon fatalis) on the same grass. Like a normal California flag, the background is white with a red bar on the very bottom of the flag. Between the saber tooth and the red bar reads "CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC", and there is a red star in the upper left hand corner.
