A tired Misophoniac/Misokinesiac and an artist.
I like extinct organisms, fish, and birds! Bugs are cool too.

Those questions changed my life near unimaginably so. My fellow humans please don't push away the art of introspection. Every so often please sit and have a conversation with your own well being and sense of self.

Good day to you!

The K/Pg extinction created a buffet for open-ocean fishes. A new paper shows that Pelagiaria underwent an adaptive radiation following the extinction based on new jaw shapes to fill the vacuum @knapprew.bsky.social @evoswami.bsky.social @sternarchella.bsky.social academic.oup.com/evlett/advan...

my section was all about uterine tissues creating happy little "benign" tumors that make your life hell but since they are not cancerous it takes forever to diagnose and find a treatment that works for YOU!

Every day (or night), I find a new insect at @casabentbill.bsky.social #CostaRica.

Tonight it's this spectacular Macromantis nicaraguae mantid hiding under a fern, waiting for an unsuspecting insect to wander by.

Excited to announce that my second manuscript, “Fossilised Melanosomes Reveal Colour Patterning in A Sauropod Dinosaur” has been published in
@royalsociety.org !! Diplodocus scales are complex and diverse, and it turns out their color patterning was even more so. A 🧵🦕 1/26

While the paper hasn't come out just yet, the news certainly has. Proud to announce our discovery of color patterning in a sauropod dinosaur. Will go in depth tomorrow.

Some days ago I made a thread on Pleistocene crocs in honor of Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age, and now I'm bringing it here too.
Let me prefice this by saying that I of course understand their absence, obviously more unique fauna takes priority and I don't begrudge the team their choice

And of course theres still plenty of cool things that can be done with crocs regardless, even as a simple secondary antagonistic force to the protagonist animal of whatever segment

Woke and saw a News notification on my phone, and thought, “FINALLY, some fun news, instead of more hate and dread to start my day.”

And then I saw everyone’s favorite Bluesky Dino expert wrote it 🥰 @restingdinoface.bsky.social

This picture has been making the rounds again, and is being misidentified again.

This is a GOOSEFISH.

This is NOT a tasselled wobbegong shark.

It’s a great pic. I get why people are very excited about it. But it’s as easy to give it the right name as the wrong one.
