To celebrate, this is Tilly Edinger (suggested by @skyemcdavid.com), a jewish german paleontologist with disabled hearing and pioneer of paleoneurology. She studied the brains of extinct animals including pterosaurs.

A 25-Inch Crocodile Relative Walked on Two Legs in Late Triassic Forests 225 Million Years Ago Learn how fossils from Arizona’s Petrified Forest National Park revealed that a Late Triassic crocodile relative may have started life on four legs before walking on two as an adult.

Did you know that there are three or maybe four taxa on the Iberian Peninsula that are very similar to Iguanodon? No, of course not, most people who live here have no idea either. And the first one I have reconstructed is Magnananus, a large animal discovered in Soria, in northern Spain.

Oh, this is fucking cruel asl getting my blood boiling. I really hope you get the chance to let those kids know their dad is the problem and it never was you or their grandparents especially after their mom’s death. Keeping fighting the fight but also know you gotta protect yourself as well 🖤🖤

Here’s what this gar actually sounds like, when encountered at the @audubonnature.bsky.social aquarium in New Orleans.

Osteology and relationships of a new shuvosaurid (Pseudosuchia, Poposauroidea) from the Upper Triassic Chinle Formation of Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, U.S.A. Shuvosauridae is a clade of pseudosuchian archosaurs currently represented by three named species characterized by a body plan strikingly convergent with that of ornithomimid theropod dinosaurs.

art of simocyon in a tree

a photo of simocyon's lower jaw and teeth

happy #fossilfriday! bonus: this is simocyon, a puma-sized carnivore from the miocene and pliocene that was related to red pandas. like red pandas, simocyon had a wrist bone called a radial sesamoid, which functioned as a false thumb to aid in a semi-arboreal lifestyle

Test paint on my Arctops sculpt! It’s probly getting a little more work on it but one session in and the vibes are there :) #paleoart #gorgonopsid #permian

Arctops goes AHHHHHHH. Its teeth are lightly ribbed and rather serrated, I based its skin texture on hippos and tortoises, with some warts here and there. I'll be adding whiskers to the physical print of this later. Also you cant see it from this angle but he has pallet teeth in the back of its upper pallet, I kinda adore that they could open their mouths SO WIDE (pretty much 90 degrees) that they needed some helper teeth to ratchet prey down their throats.

Including this shot to show off the parietal eye, another of my favorite gorgon features. It was probably mostly for sensing light, you can see them on some modern reptiles and amphibians. Some gorgons had very pronounced structures up there! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_eye

WIP of Arctops Umulunshi. Many thanks to @pinuppaleontology.bsky.social and Christian Sidor for critique and access to this wonderful animal's remains, and for liking gorgonopsians as much as I do! Printing, adding whiskers and painting soon! #sciart #paleoart

the same sculpt but from a 3/4 veiw

another closer view showing textures in viewport render mode

Had to re slice some things on my arctops model for printing at life size scale, so I took the opportunity to sculpt in some finer details. We'll see how these transfer to the print, and whether I shoulda overstated them more ;)

I am incredibly pleased with the first blooming of my spring bulbs bed. Idk why the hyacinths are so short but whatever. Tulips are up next, then alliums, and then irises on the edges.

Got my potatoes in and the tower garden up for herbs and leafy greens.

Pixar’s Pete Docter Says Queer ‘Elio’ Storyline Was Axed Because “We’re Making A Movie, Not Hundreds Of Millions Of Dollars Of Therapy” Pixar Chief Creative Officer Pete Docter explained the animation company's decision to ax a queer storyline in last year's Elio.

Am I surprised that a man who was able to thrive at a company where women weren't allowed in the same room as the boss, because he'd grope them, appears to have no ethical backbone? Not even a little.

If you work in a creative industry, you *must* read this

“If you were a man, every one of those negatives would be in the positive column.” - My first performance review in games included as negatives: “personality is too big, too confident, asks too many questions”

Yes, there’s a double standard
