I love seeing the sheer variety of different interpretations of ancient life from paleo artists
Did anyone see my new Cyonosaurus #paleoart in the wild at #riotfest over the weekend? Check out some threads about how I made the model for Arjan Mann from @FieldMuseum over at my blue sky

We’re at a point where minorities are just supposed to openly accept pure hatred as a “political leaning”

Imma a be honest with you chief, I only took that down just to not pile on today, but he dedicated a LOT of his time trying to contribute to making life worse for people like me, and he succeeded to an extent Im not gonna be extra, but you not finding any kind sympathy here.
@Dom_2k Dom I saw your last tweet and I genuinely think You’re a weirdo dude. Idc abt politics. How can you watch a young guy with kids get shot and be happy because you disagree with him politically. I hope you find peace in your life. I used to be a big fan

This leak is all the proof you need that forcing websites and apps to store sensitive user information to verify ID is only a liability and a danger to the public
The drivers licenses leaked today from the tea app have been uploaded to a searchable map.... this may be the worst PII leak I've ever seen lol

College is essentially a walkable city with good infrastructure, full of civilians working toward self-betterment. There's still a respect for expertise and facts, as well as community and forgiveness. Leaving that is tough.
I think college ruined my perception of community in real adult world because the way i yearn for something that kind of only exist when you live on campus..

Not everyone from these states subscribes to these ideals and it’s pretty unfair to punish us. I’d love for SVP to come to Mississippi or Louisiana!
In a time when people are avoiding the states like a plague it sure was a choice for SVP 2026 to once again be in an overwhelmingly red state that wants to strip the rights of many of the society's members. Disappointed to say the least.

I absolutely love seeing how the science comes together
Temnodontosaurus flipper: How the story began In 2017, I received an email from fossil collector Georg Göltz with photos of a peculiar fossil. He was aware that my research focus was on marine reptiles, so he wrote that he had found something unusual. 1/9 #FossilFriday #Germany

We made it! Looking forward to starting my PhD in the fall!!
Vertebrate paleo peeps! The Whitney Lab is recruiting a Master's student for the fall of 2023! If you or someone you know is interested in cutting up fossils, contributing to data addition, and taking pretty photos like this, DM me. You can also find me at #SVP2022 this year!

My most bleeding heart opinion is that it's good for society to give poor people free or heavily discounted access to culturally and intellectually enriching experiences.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium in California costs $295 for a family membership or $125 for a single adult If you have an EBT Food Card entry is free, and up to 4 people can get in for free every time you go There is a strong incentive for these people to never get off Food Stamps

#JurassicWorldRebirth is definitely a step up from Dominion and Fallen Kingdom! Really wish they kept the “dinosaurs are in the real world” storyline though.

Proud to announce that I've officially completed my bachelor's degree! And in keeping with #FossilFriday, I'm an technically an award-winning paleontologist now. MANY people to thank for various reasons, some of whom are (still) on this platform. But wait, there's more...

I freaking HATE the discourse around “useless degrees” that I’ve been seeing all day. Our society needs historians, philosophers, and English majors. Frankly, their decline is a huge reason our society lacks understanding of pol issues + the ability to scrutinize information

Listen if we can get WWD 25 can we please get a new run of Dinosaur Planet? It was so good for it's time but there's so many more amazing stories that can be told this way now 😭🙏
