wow mr speilberg really should have journaled instead of writing that movie

One of my favorite photos I’ve taken at the Smithsonian. Can you see the bird? A bird built its nest inside the mouth of a Triceratops. An avian dinosaur decided that a dinosaur was the perfect place to raise more dinosaurs. The fossil record comes full circle. 🧪 🦕♻️🕊️

Misophonia, a neurophysiological disorder characterized by a severe aversion to sound, often leaves those who struggle with it ashamed or angry. “One of the problems with the condition is that it overlaps with the human condition,” Sloane Crosley writes. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/BqODfT

This is exactly it. The work is the point.

For the love of God DO NOT Give pets as Xmas gifts. Too many of these “gifts” end up at the shelter . A Dog/Cat is a gift we give ourselves and they come with many sacrifices. Time,money, and a certain amount of collateral damage in their puppyhood.

Cat haters are, in my experience, a terrifying bunch. People who claim indifference to cats, meanwhile, are simply individuals who've never taken the time to get to know a really great cat.

Meet the Team: @ogulyurdakul.bsky.social is a PhD student at UCI. He's interested in how statistical signal processing methods can be applied in consciousness science and how different theories of consciousness intersect and differentiate.
