Reading is political.

Reading has always been political.

Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground.

Tonight’s fact is to simply remind everyone that Pterosaurs are in fact, not dinosaurs.

And if you’ve been here for a while, I’m sure you can guess where this going.

Pterodactyls were not real.

There is no classified species known as Pterodactyl.

There is however Pterodactylus.

Having a lot of books is so fun until it’s time to clean and dust my bookshelves/books.

I’m not even halfway done 😭

This is a whole day process now.

We shall not talk about the book mail I’m getting and how that means I will be rearranging all these shelves again soon 😅

It’s not delivery, it’s a dinosaur fact!

Ankylosaurus, aka my personal favorite dinosaur (don’t tell the others).

They lived during the Late Cretaceous in what is now North America.

They are often called the “living tank” by paleontologists for how well armored it was.

Gather around my little dino nuggets, we got some pretty exciting dinosaur news.

A new dinosaur has just dropped.

Haolong dongi.

It was an Iguanodontian that lived during the Early Cretaceous in what is now China.

It’s name means comes from the word Haolong, which means ‘spiny dragon’.

The only reasonable response to dying over these past few days is buying books.

I deserve this.

So excuse me while I go black out 🙂‍↕️

So I’ve talked a lot about how many of the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park franchise never would have interacted because they lived at different times.

Right well, you know another popular dinosaur movie that has dinosaurs living together that didn’t?

The Land Before Time.

Nauseous because I haven’t eaten anything.

But also nauseous because I’m in so pain that I can’t eat.

There is a high chance I will claw my uterus out with my bare hands.

Okay these cramps are killing me so you get a quick fact today.

Want to know something much older than the dinosaurs?

The Appalachian Mountains.

They are significantly older than dinosaurs, by over 200 million years.

These mountains are older than trees my dudes.

Older than most life, ever.

I was gonna get some reading in today, but my uterus has decided we will be spending the day crying on the bathroom floor instead.

Does your brain actually understand how long the non avian dinosaurs were alive for?

For reference, T. rex lived closer in time to us, then it did Stegosaurus.

Stegosaurus had gone extinct and were fossils by the time T. rex was walking around.

They were separated by over 80 million years.

Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you.

Hi, I’m Ashley.

I was supposed to be a twin and we were supposed to be Ashley and Bailey. But I ate my twin in the womb and ruined that plan.

It was for the best.
Introduce yourself with the name your parents almost gave you

Hi I’m Jacqueline

But my dad didn’t want people calling me Jackie so he named me after my grandmother instead lol

Lets talk about a classic.

Parasaurolophus. It was a hadrosaurid (duck billed dinosaur) and they lived during the Late Cretaceous.

Parasaurolophus is most known for its large head crest.

And when I say large, I mean their crests could roughly get up to 1.5-1.8 meters (5-6ft) long.

Forgot to close my curtains.

And it’s night time.

In Appalachia.

It’s fine.

Totally fine.

The backyard motion light definitely didn’t turn on and stay on (even though nothing is out there and you have to be close to the door for it to even come on).

I’m not scared at all 😃

Y’all know I enjoy yapping about Spinosaurus. But it’s hard to have a yap session about them because we don’t know a lot.

Partly because we don’t have many fossils of them.

But also because of Nazis.

See, Spinosaurus was described back in 1915 by a German Paleontologist named Ernst Stromer.
