Shocking that so many young women don’t want to live under biblical patriarchy.

A really important point. You can't "solve"misinformation without understanding the ways beliefs function as identity markers more than attempts to represent reality accurately gone awry.

Let me fix that for you: Texas A&M is limiting how instructors may discuss gender identity and race in classrooms in an assault on academic freedom unseen in America since the Red Scare.

There are lots of things that the bible sends mixed messages on - it's why theological debate exists. But the one thing the christian bible is pretty consistent on is, "fuck them rich people."

People NEED to understand the evil of Prosperity Gospel and how it underpins the right-wing "Christianity" They believe that God will reward you in this life (not just Heaven) with riches and good health for being Holy. And the inverse is also true - if you're sick or poor, that's God's punishment.

“But you see your honor, I added spikes to mine, so I believe this constitutes transformative use.”

forcing ppl to work for nothing? there's a word for this isn't there? it's on the tip of my tongue.

Man it would be great for New York if these people followed through on their threats. Available apartments, less cops, dead Dershowitz? So many wins.

hopped on prehistoric kingdom (goated game go play it) and learned about leaellynasaura... easy new fave...she's so tails!! (even though that's actually debatable) anyway, here's a loose painting :) #paleoart #prehistorickingdom #dinosaur #paleosky

legitimately i think one of the core failings of centrist pundits is that they have come to define themselves by what they are against--to chart their intellectual course by who they think is being annoying this week--instead of by recourse to genuine principle

For #FossilFriday & in honor of @alinemghilardi.bsky.social & colleagues' fantastic discovery of a new Cretaceous pterosaur in Brazil in a dinosaur regurgitalite ("fossil vomit"), here's a diagram I made for my book 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' (2014) showing the physics of a puking brachiosaur. 🧪🦕🤮🪨

Whole bunch of stuff beginning to make a lot of sense.

i still refuse to back down from my belief that every single living person has the capacity for artistic genius. society-as-profit has just crushed those of us who don't happen to luck out

AI is DECIMATING trades you take for granted until they're ruined by reckless slop. Airport announcements? Somebody voices that. Medical diagram your dentist shows you? Somebody drew that. Your customer support ticket? Somebody answered that. College textbooks? Somebody wrote that.

The ostriches have been culled and that particular H5N1 outbreak has finally been contained. Here is @brandyzadrozny.bsky.social's reliably excellent account of the entire ordeal. www.msnbc.com/news/news-an...

China and Saudi Arabia among nations receiving climate loans, analysis reveals

Timeline cleanse: A sunbird. I am proud to say I’ve seen a sunbird in person. 😊

The Lib Dems had been going hard on the "if you don't gote for us you'll get Reform" thing and oh look

A new state-by-state evaluation of the projected energy and water use of "AI" data centers in the US. Looks… real bad. Like, "undoing tech sector climate gains" bad. Strongly recommends immediately ensuring any & all new "AI" data centers to run on existing & expanded renewables grids. Which… yeah.

An early Triassic bone bed excavated at 78°N changes the story about how marine life recovered after the most cataclysmic extinction in Earth history ~252 million years ago. Learn more in this week's issue of Science: https://scim.ag/48bLsGI

Focussing on the positive from this issue’s Science, work by our museum colleagues in Oslo led by the wonderful @aubronectes.bsky.social Aubrey Roberts.

Everyone seems incredulous when you tell them the national animal of Scotland is a unicorn. But no-one even bats an eyelid when you tell them the national animal of Wales is a dragon.

🌱 Spain’s community energy revolution is spreading! From Taradell to Galicia, cooperatives are providing cheap, clean electricity to homes, including low-income families, while promoting local ownership and fighting fuel poverty. We love to see a community-led energy transition 🤩

this! thank you!

The actual FBI using a Nazi-filled social media platform run by a far-right emboldening transphobe to debunk an unpublished story from a right-wing conspiracy theorist who recently platformed one of America's biggest antisemites.....perfectly sums up 2025

Every "population crisis" article in western media is just "WHERE ARE THE WHITE BABIES" in disguise and we absolutely do not have to give any credence to any of them

menace to society #parrotsky

I can finally share this!!! a huge Thanks to both @skyemcdavid.com and @zhejiang0pterus.bsky.social for allowing me to do a Nyctosaur for this poster!!!

Massive congratulations to my buddy Aubrey Roberts for her work that has made the front cover of Science today! Aubrey talked about it this morning at #2025SVP

A herd of Rhabdodon moves through the forest in its search for food. It is a fairly generalist herbivore that does not hesitate to feed on almost any kind of low vegetation. Its relatively large size requires a higher consumption, which makes it less selective than its smaller thin-snouted relatives

genuinely insane thing to not only post but then extensively defend as well

it’s now “woke moralism” to say pedophiles should be punished

transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

I don't like to put it forward, but I'm super stressed out since getting all the extra tests needed done has cleaned me out. This is only a portion of the costs I'm working to paying off the vet fees, but if you can spare anything I'd be super grateful. ko-fi.com/teatimejess/...

Ghosts Behind Glass has been officially published by @uchicagopress.bsky.social! If you are looking for an absolutely gorgeous book that tackles a deeply serious topic, this is a perfect choice. Would make a really thoughtful Christmas gift. press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

For a small country, Wales has a surprising number of very, very cool dinosaurs. Pendraig milnerae (Pendraig = “chief dragon” in Welsh) was discovered in 1952, not far from where I live, but only named in 2021 after being re-discovered in storage by Angela Milner and Susannah Maidment. #SciArt

I want to enter this building, but there's this creepy stork-giraffe wandering around the gate 😑

Kind of funny that Labour is even pissing off the centrist commentators now.

Sad news regarding a dinosaur artist whose work was a major influence on me and just about everyone else I know who grew up on 90s-2000s dinosaur media. Check out the thread for more examples of his work!

some highlights from birmingham and #SVP2025 yesterday, feat. @skyemcdavid.com 💙 more pics later :3

i’m still struggling to find a full time job after being fired over being chronically ill. i need to pay bills and help my family back at home, and even though i’ve been searching & working in whatever i can find it’s not enough. any help is appreciated ❤️ ko-fi.com/wwxwashere

I did my PhD at the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign, which has more Chinese students than any other US university. I had the privilege of teaching and collaborating with Chinese students there. This makes me indescribably angry for them and for all of us who benefit from our work together
