A portrait of my favourite animal in the entire history of the planet: Coelophysis bauri! I don't do as much palaeoart as I'd like to, but I'm constantly imagining prehistoric animals in life and love the rare instances where I can bring those ideas to life through art.

this whole online ID verification push stuff is turning me into a weird crank at rapid speed because I've never seen such an unpopular policy forced through with such speed in so many countries simultaneously with basically zero real consent from any population, just pure elite collusion

anthropological approach to humantooning. an understanding we are animals. can't fucking stand when I'm expected to empathize with a bunch of cartoons that just look like Fred of Scooby Doo fame. Why even be a toon. oh I'm being pedantic now. big feelings over here in toontown

The US administration is proposing to open 24 million acres of federal lands to expand cattle grazing, including sensitive areas within Grand Canyon National Park, threatening wildlife and protected species. Environmental advocates have filed legal action. 1/2

The mama tapir came by @casabentbill.bsky.social yesterday afternoon and we had a nice visit. She has some fluid around her eye that I need to show to the #tapirvet She gave birth to a son last year and he's already out on his own now, as I haven't seen him for over a month. #tapiroftheday #tapir

Wish I was near a train station with a Gomphotherium sculpture in it

This video is so funny to me cause that's wolves. Wolves hunt pigs, they're just extirpated in the US areas with feral hogs.

What a dapper young kaiju!

A lot of people tend to conflat militant veganism with deep ecology, when they're not at all synonymous with each other in actuality.

Happy Birthday David Attenborough! #art #drawing

Oh nothing, just a garden springtail on a newt (!!!) here to brighten your day a little.

the moon child and hoi revival is quite possibly the most joyous thing in video games of the last decade and to see old devs immediately be like "yes how can we get this open source asap" and not want to make 3 billion dollars on it just makes me really happy and hopeful

So is Moon Child actually like a good game or what?

Trying to work out how much sense this makes: I thought of an idea where Cambrian or Ordovocian characters talk about the seashore/land like it’s some arcane, hellish, void-like plane of existence that almost no one comes back alive from. Art by Charles R. Knight

THERE ARE HOLOCENE LION SUBFOSSILS FROM UKRAINE???

That one moot who is low-key a horrible human being who always treats you like garbage but you haven’t blocked them yet because they’re genuinely a huge loser that it’s kind of hilarious:

I've been watching some Alveus Sanctuary videos so OF COURSE YOUTUBE RECOMMENDS ME A SHORT OF A "PET SERVAL" INSIDE AN APARTMENT

THEY ARE MAKING A PREDATOR AND POTA CROSSOVER COMIC YES GOD THANK YOU

Words cannot describe how much I hate people who when introduced to an interesting animal, their first thought is "can I eat it?" Genuinely hate those people.

Late night at the art studio

I really wish humans evolved alongside other sophonts that we can direct communicate with. I doubt we'd be facing the same problems as we are now.

Jule Verne's Journey To The Center Of The Earth was published only four years after Charles Darwin published On The Origin Of Species.

If pandas go extinct, I'm blaming the powerscalers

Had to draw a little cladogram for some of the new playable guys ‘cause I got Mario Kart fever. All together, they’re a pretty representative slice of life and un-life in the Mushroom Kingdom. #MarioKartWorld #NintendoSwitch2

Bigfoot's....f..f.f.....FAKE?!?

This is an oversimplification. Those "refugiums" during the End-Permian were still largely affected in a negative way, just a bit less so than the rest of the world at the time. I'd argue that the our current biodiversity crisis also has these sort of refugiums, such as protected areas.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

Happy to see this, it feels like the community pressure we’ve put on is actually resulting in some (hopefully) meaningful changes.

I saw a snapping turtle today

I genuinely think the only thing keeping Godzilla fans from appreciating Ultraman is that...well he just looks like a guy in a jumpsuit. If he looked more like a traditional monster like Godzilla or Gamera, then I think more Godzilla fans would like him.

Why wasn't I informed about cosbydaf releasing a new chapter for NES Godzilla Replay in over a decade?

NES Godzilla Creepypasta and Godzilla Replay still hold a special place in my heart. I cite 'em as one of th'biggest reasons I dedicated myself t'pixel art in th'first place. (I should also go watch more Godzilla stuff.)

My problem with modern gaming - modern tech, products, services, anything really - is that you aren't the customer. You are a user. A consumer. The actual customers are the investors & business guys. And I think that's f* up.

I cant stop thinking about this old Tumblr post. As a long time teacher, I can confirm this artwork is still everywhere because we were still using materials that were there when I was a kid. This art style wasn't allowed in my classroom, I've always loathed it haha

Why are the Ralph centric Simpson episodes so adorable

James Talarico’s victory in the Texas Democratic Senate primary shows the power of a class-focused political message. His campaign emphasized economic populism and working-class unity rather than traditional Democratic Party messaging or identity politics. Hopefully, the system doesn't crush him.
