Old pinned here for now, it will eventually be combined into the new one. Keep reading this thread for new info.

Took me three tries to find the treat the cat was demanding. Then she ate the rest of them too. "I didn't say I didn't want those ever, I just wanted this other thing right now."

Waning Hours
Digital Drawing. A large dicynodont (Ischigualastia) is knelt on the ground, struggling to lift itself up with its forelimbs. A gash is visible on its thigh. Three small dinosaurs (Eodromaeus) observe from nearby. The sky is a pale blue - the sun has already moved below the horizon.

Post-pedi pose. Seriously, he’s a very good boy.
An orange and white Devon Rex is reclining after sitting very still for a pedicure. Of course he got treats afterward.

A non-fishhead bestie asked me "What is your pick for most underrated fish?" and of course I replied the eel. Etched in the history of many cultures, yet full of mystery across their metamorphosis and epic migrations between the open sea to rivers far inland. For "life cycle" #SundayFishSketch 🦑🐡🧪

A little watercolour sketch of a deep sea fish. The bodey is long and black with little light spots running downbits side. It has sharp teeth and little red "cheeks". The latin name is written above and a pencil lies under it for size reference.

Combining the life cycle theme for #sundayfishsketch h with #GarWeek for a quick ink sketch of the Alligator Gar life cycle. Eggs -> larval -> juvenile -> adult -> back to eggs!

Don't eat those eggs!

Prosecutors broke with tradition and didn’t fight to uphold the conviction.

In fact, the DA urged the court to overturn it: “Every single medical expert, using current science, confirms that Russell and Kaye Maze are actually innocent."

Appeals Court Upholds Shaken Baby Conviction Despite Medical Examiner Recanting Testimony
Dissenting from the court’s majority, one judge sounded the alarm about ignoring recanted forensic testimony, saying the medical examiner’s reversal “calls into doubt the foundation of the trial.”

Curious and friendly, handled safe as houses, large, fuzzy spider, just under an inch (22 mm) long, with a gray body, patterned with white spots and stripes. She has very large, forward-facing eyes that provide excellent vision, and her small, leg-like mouthparts (chelicerae) are covered in dense, soft, white hairs, like much the rest of her. Her fangs appear irridescent purple, green and blue.

TIL that the World Wildlife Fund is now doing symbolic adoptions for leaf sheep. So if you know someone who needs a stuffed nudibranch, this might be the perfect holiday gift.

From my sister, walk for your lives!

(although if the snails movement speed scales perfectly with size its probably barreling down on them at 10-11 miles per hour)
