Today, for the safety of all SVP members, I request with this open letter that the @societyofvertpaleo.bsky.social provides an online option for this year's annual meeting. Myself and many others no longer feel it is safe to travel to and within the USA. Please share the letter everywhere you can!

🎧 “Meek and humble, and lies you've made To disguise your intentions with your worthless faith Separate your church outta my fucking state And the more they are ruins everything And the more they are ruins everything”

Happy release day to @chanda.blacksky.app The Edge of Space Time! It’s stunning and will change the way you move through this shared universe of ours. Please do yourself the favor of reading it (and asking for it at your favorite library!).

Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.

Oh rad, The Bride! is out on digital today. 🍿

Netflix's The Dinosaurs is obsessed with dominance and power. A dinosaur show for the Trump era. I rip into it in my latest newsletter.

Goo morning, monsters. A little toss, a little adjustment, it sits so perfectly between your cusps. A squeeze is all that’s needed. To feel the give, the shear, as your meal breaks apart so beautifully. Have another.

Now and then the glasses come off.

Now you do intend to have skeets at your skeet park?

Clarification is key 🗝️ 💪 ... 🫴 🍈

Sorry for the bifurcated thread. It struggled and appeared chopped and then posted anyway. Bluesky is being smothered by its own vibe coding.

A lot of journalists hate Bluesky because it shows them they’re more conservative and bigoted than they think they are. If you rush to defend the NYT and have nothing to say about the paper’s persistent, manufactured anti-trans hate campaign it makes money off of? Hey guess what side you’re on.

I hope you stay hungry for dinosaur drama.

For some Monday morning reading, a report on current emotional investment in dinosaurs - with contributions from me, @vickycoules.bsky.social and @stevebrusatte.bsky.social : edition.cnn.com/2026/04/05/s...

🎧 “Ah! You're making me squirm, making me squirm Ah! Goddamn, you're the worst for making me squirm Tell me, are you trying to make me think things That I can't unthink anymore You're making me squirm, making me squirm” 🪱

Goo morning, monsters. The beachgoers can shout all they want. It just feels nice to put a fin above the surface. Warm sun on skin and the push of the water against the triangle’s leading edge, selachian delights.

So Splash said she’s never seen Deep Blue Sea. She needs to know the ocean is haunted. 🦈

🎧 “Do some living while you're able Try not to be ungrateful for the gift of suffering The light, the void, and everything Do you believe in fairy tales of heaven and beyond? What does life mean? Shut up baby, nothing at all”

Wake up babe, new digging crab 🦀 just dropped: Jonas bispinosus! www.discoveryjournals.org/Species/curr... Even though I study crustacean digging, I was not familiar with this genus of digging crab - very strong resemblance to albuneid and ranid crabs!

Strata was asking for couch time so we’re doing Deadly Spawn 2, no, wait, Metamorphosis.

Ruth's pecs are not a safe hiding spot for the Easter egg hunt... Happy Easter everyone! Tell a bunny you love them! #Animation / #OCs / #Ruth / #Stig / #BunBash

Oh is it snack time already?

Today we honor Ripley, who rose again to get girls into knife play.

Been working my tail off

You’ll know you’re with a brat because they’ll tell you “ha ha you like brats.”

Spring is here, birds are noisy in the garden, time to repost this:

All dinosaurs hatch from eggs, including the really big, toothy ones. That’s where Tyrant Lizard Queen begins, with a mother rex chomping bones to make her eggs. 🥚

May your day be bold with blasphemy and sweet with sacrilege. Love this piece by @seraphictiger.bsky.social

Goo morning, monsters. The egg has nothing left. Not a smear of nutrition remaining within the enfolding walls. Out, to the other side of the shell, to maybe seek out the familiar comfort of being warm, held, nestled and soaked by the viscous glop inside something else.

Guzmania! I adore bromeliads.

possum adventures for @monsteramour.bsky.social!

Maybe your kink isn’t problematic. Maybe you’re just around people locked in with their own shame.

Second embroidery kit is done (and the French knots are a bit tidier than on the first one!) #embroidery

*jfk voice* we chose to force feminize the moon not because it is easy but because it is hard

If I believe everyone looks good in a crop top, I’ve got to do it myself sometimes, too.

It's finally done, and she is so pretty

spring is for reading books with titles like CRABS or SLUGS or CARNOSAUR
