Using my new thylacine sewing pattern I have created another lifesize thylacine plushie! This big friend is available over here: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/thylaci...

🚨 THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨 We’ve just seen this, by creator “Menapian” - a 4,998-piece set of the Great Exhibition (1851) Crystal Palace - complete with a bonus Megalosaurus and Ichthyosaur… beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

So what have I been working on recently? I had a short break last week, but stuff I got in the works: 1 - Lifesize thylacine (+updated pattern for download in the works) 2 - Beetles 3 - Mantis shrimp 4 - Eurypterid collab

Huge thanks to @sewpoke.co.uk for the Royal Mail Click + Drop postage tip - Using this system I can pay customs fees in advance with only an added 50p handling fee rather than the crazy ones applied by other courier services. I'm currently using this for US postage and it's reduced costs a lot.

My plans to collect customs and pay in advance (DDP) has turned out to be a bit fiddly, EVRI only lets you do that on orders over £100. I got around this by putting my email address instead of the customers and paying the customs on behalf of the customers, but I'm worried-

If there's anyone who could take my cats, or even just one, in western MD please let me know. I don't want to have to leave them at a shelter, they'd be so scared and sad.

Previously only seen at Dinocon- two new Palaeoplushies make an appearance! The famous Anomalocaris, and the jawless fish Zenaspis! These two are available for the first time over on my website! www.palaeoplushies.com

Thanks to everyone who weighed in! I've set it up so that 10% duty is collected at checkout and I'll make sure it's paid before the parcels leave the UK (sending via Evri). This is for the US only, other countries are used to this

Working out this US tariff stuff - Would people prefer it if I collected the fees at checkout on my website and paid the import duty in advance, or would you prefer to be invoiced by the carrier separately later?

If any Americans need tips on travelling to Europe with space in your luggage for Palaeoplushies, HMU. For that matter, if any Americans need tips on fleeing to live in Europe nomadically with a Palaeoplushie companion, HMU.

Just a heads up - Royal Mail is pausing US shipping after the 26th August, so if any US American wants a Palaeoplushie please order this weekend... I'll figure out how to post stuff again in future but for now nobody knows what's going on. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Really not sure what to do with Palaeoplushies - so many lovely people in the US order my plushies and I want to continue to ship worldwide. Lots of countries have import duties, but it's really not clear how sending stuff to the US is going to work after the 29th...

Five years ago, my second PhD paper came out: doi.org/10.1098/rspb... In it, I looked at the body mass of the recently extinct thylacine (aka Tasmanian tiger) & found that it was only about half as big as popularly thought. Let's revisit the paper, & see where we are today. 🧪🧵 #evobio #Mammals

Listening to the latest Media Club Plus by @friends-table.bsky.social about The Sixth Sense by M. Night Shyamalan. I just wanna say me and my sister managed to watch that film as an adult in ~2013 without having it be spoiled for me previously despite everything and had the best time.

I think scary monster designs need to look more at herbivores for examples of creepy weir shit. Example: the muntjac’s fucked up gaping scent glands on their face and how springboks having a flap of skin on their back that they can unfurl to show off the white fur on the inside??? Of their back??

I added a new page to my website. Its about an older study from 2018, led by Johan Lindgren, that was my 1st paper in Nature. We described an ichthyosaur that contained fossilised pigments and pigment cells, indicating the colour and countershading. 1/2 #FossilFriday www.sachspal.de/ichthyosaur-...

Working on #paleoart of the fantastic new drepanosaur Mirasaura today. I don't think it's mentioned in the paper, but there's a significant size range in the skin appendages: here's the biggest isolated example vs. the (juvenile) holotype. Neat. #fossil #paleontology

I won't be attending #dinocon in person this year, but stop by @thylacereal.bsky.social 's stall to see some of my new designs alongside their lovely plushies!

Here's a kinda yucky little thylacine joey! Really had fun making it look shiny and meaty. Little raw meat creature. Forbidden jelly baby. They're designed to fill little gaps when I get fabric printed, so they'll be made alongside future thylacine beanies. Bringing the first few to Dinocon!

This lifesize Thylacine plush is available over on my website www.palaeoplushies.com ! It's a one-off, if I do more with this pattern they won't look quite the same as some of these fur fabrics are discontinued/hard to find.

Working on a lifesize Thylacine...

Inspired by piebaldism in quolls (www.researchgate.net/figure/Appar...) and a hypothetical alternative timeline where Thylacines were domesticated rather than driven to extinction... This piebald thylacine is looking for a home: www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/thylaci...

Apologies to everyone, but I will never: 1) have consistent releases 2) know when I'm gonna make a certain thing 3) remember anything I told anyone ever about when I was gonna do something 4) be able to give warning when I'm gonna make a thing (see point 2)

An unusual Thylacine colour morph... This Bicolour thylacine displays both melanism and piebaldism. A speculative colouration that may have occured if thylacines were domesticated rather than driven to extinction. It is available over on my website; www.palaeoplushies.com/shop/thylaci...

I've got a few Ichthyosaurus looking for homes over on my website! www.palaeoplushies.com

New dromaeosaurid dinosaur Shri rapax: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Known from a nearly complete skeleton! Closely related to Velociraptor but with a more robust skull and hands. 🪶🧪 (📷Moutrille et al.)

Kinda frustrating how often you come across an optional boss in Clair Obscur (which are *everywhere*), get your ass beat, look up whether you’re doing something fundamentally wrong, and the recommended advice is coming back when you’ve leveled up 15 hours from now.

Planaria party! I've been over-feeding my giant plush aquarium and look what turned up! If you'd like to take your own giant (for a planaria, they're 18cm long) beanie plushie planaria home, I promise they won't mulitply. They're for sale (£20gbp, worldwide shipping) here: www.palaeoplushies.com

The planarians were a surprise hit! So much so I've made some more! Now with a new design... OOPS! ALL TAILS?? Grab yourself a worm over here: www.palaeoplushies.com
