A #PudgyHorse tribute to the Lascaux cave paintings, painted with the Strata Trio watercolours made by @thoughtsupnorth.bsky.social from Cretaceous rocks from the Albertan badlands. From 2020. Might as well post this one as it's been stolen and sold on Australian Temu. 🙃 #ArtAdventCalendar

Hey, I know it's not Giving Tuesday anymore (I am deep in the paper mines), but if you've ever wanted to help me out, please consider donating to keep PRI and Ithaca's Museum of the Earth open. They have until December 31 to raise 1M to prevent foreclosure. priweb.donorsupport.co/page/FUNWALK...

This is one of those extremely rare INDEPENDENT USA museum collections (not beholden to or funded by a university-corporation) and they work their teeny little budget off to do good science and educate the public. PLEASE help them survive, the world needs places like this more than ever right now.

They also still care about COVID and still have designated days where masks are required inside, which is something I have literally not seen anywhere else. I think they deserve a shoutout just for that.

Considering Streeting's well stated belief autism, ADHD etc, along with mental health issues, are "overdiagnosed", I won't hold my breath for this doing anything other than being used to cut support, along with opportunities for diagnosis, for people who need it. #r4today www.bbc.com/news/article...

I still struggle not to act on my impulses when I’m afraid of being rejected.

The final, formatted version of the Zanno & @jgn-paleo.bsky.social Nanotyrannus paper is out: Zanno, L.E., Napoli, J.G. Nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurus coexisted at the close of the Cretaceous. Nature (2025). doi.org/10.1038/s415...

If your choice is between an existential risk to your organisation, vs being a fascist collaborator, and you make the difficult choice to be a collaborator... ...then you are still a collaborator.

Deinotherium’s March Have to say I would’ve loved seeing this guy in PHP Ice Age, but the best I can do is draw it myself! #paleoart #natureart #sciart

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

Having now finished the show, I do unfortunately feel like this remained true until the end. There is still plenty to love, and I did enjoy the show, but with so much of it following the same formula, there's an undeniable undercurrent that the writers were trying to play it far too safe.

I haven't had much time or energy to do illustrations for myself lately, but yesterday I finally got the drive and managed to do two. This is Edmontosaurus annectens, incorporating the new soft-tissue data, as well as some inspiration from the re-described Red Willow Edmontosaurin.

This one still has me by the throat ngl

Eeeee!!!! I got interviewed by Gemma for LitToC podcast!!!! Thanks so much for th invite; it was really fun getting to talk to you about plants and palaeoart! #paleobotany #paleoart #podcast

It’s so wild how the wealthy are destroying the Amazon that potentially has the cure for all the cancers in favor of an Amazon that’s creating new types of cancers

A new taxon, revised headgear, and a reminder that dinosaurs probably looked way weirder than we’ll ever fully realize.

adulthood is realizing hadrosaurs are cool actually

guys I am so bad at this game

this is gough's cave, located in somerset, england. human skeletal remains found in the cave date to 14,700 years ago, making them some of the oldest human remains known from the uk. but that's not all that's interesting about them...

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

moth mode~ :3

i generally consider myself a joyful and whimsical girl, but i've recently come to the realisation that i just... don't like the aesthetics of christmas. like basically all of it. i just kinda find it tacky and overbearing. alas, i have no christmas spirit, nor any desire to possess it 😔

Sharpe et al. on the soft-tissue "crest" of Edmontosaurus and its correlates. I was just having a look at the original paper and and connection with the newer Sereno paper on shoulder/back integument reconstruction. anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

qilong.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/a... Of course, I didn't have the same technology and data access as Sharpe et al. had when making their paper. To whit: The authors indicated that some lambeosaurines have a smooth bone texture to their crests, meaning these crests aren't covered in keratin sheaths

I've finally started PhP Ice Age, and one episode in... I can't help feeling like it's softened the edges off so hard that there isn't enough to grip onto. Every segment bar one followed the same feel-good format, and combined with the extremely basic narration, it doesn't feel very mature.

I keep wanting to return to the Holiday Hadrosaur theme, perhaps with a different hadrosaur each time, but I'm worn down just thinking of the time and work required, because that's where I am these days. 🥲 This is still Parasaurolophus because that crest feels so redolent of festive fanfare to me.

Amazing new data on the edmontosaur soft tissue head crest, with implications for other hadrosaurs too! Crennulated margins and cock's comb-like shapes inferred for lambeosaurines... anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... #dinosaurs

WHAT A TIME TO BE A HADROSAUR LOVER YOU FUCKING LOVE TO SEE IT!!!

The Oxford University social media team getting some well-deserved clapback after neglecting to mention the Indonesian biologists who were also involved in documenting the flowering of Rafflesia hasseltii. Instagram doesn't charge you by the word, so maybe at least do the bare minimum?

you can literally just flip these things over. noone can stop you.

no I'm being serious. it's not illegal. vandalism is, so don't break them. but if you just gently roll it onto its side or place traffic cones around it so it can't move. you're all good You absolutely should stop these things from operating successfully. People need jobs, not robots.

it is extremely typical for my life that i happen to finally decide to get myself a new pc right after RAM prices go through the fucking roof. like right yeah of course i'm two months late and now my pc budget has an extra £150+ slapped on top just to fuck with me. rude.

i love thanksgiving. every single american drives 1000km to be tortured hellraiser style and have a miserable time and then they do it again the next year anyway

If nearly everyone had an STD, I’d still want people to disclose that shit.

Many men feel the stripper really likes them. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something

Apple did everything it could to keep me from seeing Prehistoric Planet: Ice Ice Baby, but it couldn't stop me for long. Nature Show Narrator Loki takes you on a very nice walk with a good assortment of beasts. Go watch it folks, you really don't wanna miss this. #PP3 #PrehistoricPlanet

[completely unironic voice] the greatest generation

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important. We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."

today it's time for tummy's favourite hobby: hurt.

Years of work involving an amazing team at BBCSstudios Framestore AppleTV, our series #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge is out now on #AppleTV. Huge thanks to everyone involved. All 5 eps have been released!
