Let's see how many views the #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge #AppleTV trailer has had at YouTube.... hmm, 140K. If you haven't seen it www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7kv... oh, this does NOT show all the animals we feature by the way. Such a thrill to help bring this together, you're gonna love it :)

I, like many others in difficult relationship breakdowns, have experienced financial abuse. This is a really important story - because of how overlooked it is by our institutions and agencies. And that debt that isn't yours stays with you, along with everything else.

Another day, another inexperienced but hopeful writer, announcing that they have “been offered a book deal” for £20,000. Turns out that the author is being expected to PAY THIS to the publisher, not the other way round. Folks, no publisher does this.

2025 sees the 250th anniversary of the birth not only of Jane Austen & JMW Turner, but also of Wiltshire geologist Etheldred Benett, born 22 July 1775. A woman of independent means, she built up a significant collection of fossils & corresponded with many of the leading geologists of the day.

What an adventure! ❤️
My trip to England to perform, and explore more deeply the story of palaeo-pioneer Mary Anning was, indeed, the trip of a lifetime, full of remarkable moments, and of possibilities. Want to know all about it?

Colossal are likely trying to ‘de-extinct’ the moa by tweaking an emu genome. There’s 62 million years of evolution between an emu and a moa.
For context, there’s only 42 MY between humans and howler monkeys. You simply can’t make a human with a GM howler monkey

Last day in Lyme Regis, the second time around, so first up, a cup of tea, and some writings, with @tomsharperocks.bsky.social’s “The Fossil Woman” ever present. 🙂
The building in the top left is the Lyme Regis Museum, the site of Mary Anning’s house, and The Fossil Shop up until around 1826. 😀
