In the last 30 years, more than 99% of media stories that mention ‘hate marches’ have been published since 7 October 2023 and have focused on anti-racist protesters. Bias much? www.lrb.co.uk/blog/2026/ma...

Without saying Labyrinth, fav kids film?

This is a strange and rare crinoid, Talarocrinus from the Mississippian of Northern Kentucky. It was found on a railroad cut, but I don't have the formation. The radial plates are very inflated on this species. #FossilFriday

Younger daughter & I found these fossilised crinoid rock stars (segments of the ‘stem’ of Jurassic feather stars/sea lilies, related to starfish & sea urchins) in the gravel on the edge of a lake nr Peterborough UK. She used them to make an ammonite:

Nooooooo waaaaaayyyyyyy! @saralilplants.bsky.social

@patrickhwillems.bsky.social asks why are there not more dino movies. I ask, why are there *so many* dino movies. Where are the ancient invert and acritarch movies?! (in b4 some mentions Deep Freeze/Ice Crawlers). It's a fun wee doc, check it out here www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTUu...

Reply to this post with an #Invertebrate and I will do a quick colour sketch tonight. I want to paint but don't know what, and want things I wouldn't normally pick. Bonus points for obscure critters.

Finally. A conspiracy I can get behind.

It's official. Our FIRST academic publication is officially live @aeajournals.bsky.social! ✨ TLDR: In an online experiment, @emmarackstraw.bsky.social and I find evidence that evaluators assigned to Black supervisors perceive Black workers as more productive on average. #econsky #blacksky

Interesting. I get brain fog frequently. Especially when I don't have my #adhd meds. I've had it the last few days. It's almost impossible to function and I could barely communicate with the Dr this morning. I've spent most of the day staring into space because that's about as much as I can do.

a little flamboyant cuttlefish! 🦑🐙🐡

More progress on my #Staithes study. Deliberately going for a detailed realistic feel, because sometimes it is good to explore such skills. #oils #FabrianoPaper

One of the many problems with “reasonable” accomodations is that if you have a disability they’ve never seen before, simply learning about your disability is often “unreasonable” to them. normalness.com/2025/05/23/o...

Who's coming to the Lyme Regis Fossil Festival this year? www.bridportnews.co.uk/news/2610223...

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

Fascinating thread on the transition from protocells to full cellular life. It makes me wonder if any of this could be preserved in the rock record...

This looks like it would be really interesting.

I love a good problematica.

Want to know what it’s like going ON the Bass Rock? Thanks to the @seabirdcentre.bsky.social, I got to find out. And you can too. This’ll be in print in the Alba section of The Times Scotland tomorrow. www.thetimes.com/uk/scotland/...

Very cool!

Pop Goes the Water Bear: I've written a post about Sorochytrium milnesiophthora - a chytrid fungus that infects tardigrades, and how their water bear-slaying might actually be helping other microscopic animals that live on the surface of lichens. 🧪 dailyparasite.blogspot.com/2026/05/soro...

It's an engineering marvel with great views and a fun little ride.

Spread the word: We have a vacancy for a PhD student at the interface of geology and ecology/biology! Do you want to study - also in the field - how volcanism of the Cape Verde islands, and probably more, influenced ecosystem resilience? Come work with us in Utrecht! www.uu.nl/en/organisat...

So I know that @schmidtocean.bsky.social has suggested the collective noun for ctenophores should be “a disco” which I think is fantastic but can we specifically call a bloom of lobates “an applause”, based on that lobe clapping behavior they swim with especially when little? 🧪🦑🐙

Great review paper by Maria Gandolfo: "the fossil record provides essential and irreplaceable insights into plant evolution by documenting extinct lineages, transitional morphologies, developmental stages, and past ecosystems that cannot be inferred from extant taxa alone." #paleobotany 🌏⚒🌱🌿🔬

Can dudes who scream about minutiae irregularities in dinosaur models, because apparently it's good for scicomm, have the same energy and platform to scream about actual threats to palaeontology?
