People believe that when you're LGBTIQ+ you come out once, but the reality is that every time you meet a new person, you have to study them to decide if it's a safe space to say it or not

Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking
And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way

Do I need to get some invertebrate pets to survive? No.
Do I need it in my soul? Yes absolutely.

On some level we sympathize with The Medium’s defensive theory crafters because yes, it’s difficult to believe a well-publicized game about trauma would end like THAT. But we played it at launch. We saw it for ourselves, before people talked about the ending. And it really was that reprehensible.
sometimes i question why i'm still working on my video about 'the medium' and then i see people desperately trying to repair the game's reputation with half-baked plot summaries and my doubts disappear

Weeks after anyone will care, I finally watched Jurassic World: Rebirth this evening. It clears the low bar of recent Jurassic films, but even in the hands of more competent filmmakers, it struggles to draw fresh blood from the battered, withered stone of the larger JP franchise.

Birds are such a strange kind of dinosaur, we would be astonished by them if they weren't around us all the time.

One is a reptile, sedate (unless it's food time), limbless, and smooth-scaled.
The other is a mammal, boisterous, quadrupedal, and fluffy.
I love them both equally.

One of the things I've learned so far this year: I can keep a snake happy and healthy, yet I fail at maintaining what are supposedly comically simple succulent plants.
Just absolute dogshit at plants.

"But what's the harm" I've had a couple people ask me about the dire wolf news. This! This is the harm!
in case you're wondering, "what's the harm in claiming an extinct species has been brought back from the dead" when it most certainly has not, our interior secretary is already using it to justify taking animals off the endangered species list

On this #WorldFrogDay, here's a look at our amphibious friend, a young Diplocaulus, receiving it's monthly checkup! While still developing its "boomerang-shaped" head, much of the research we do on extinct amphibians has been used to better understand conserving frog populations across the globe. 🐸

This piece from 2023 was the first time I finally tried painting on silk. I'll repost an old XTwitter thread on the process later. The bird's proportions bother me slightly now, but hey ho.

There’s no way for trans people to appease our way out of this. There won’t be a reward for those who believe we must patiently cultivate tolerance first. None of us are “good ones” to those who seek our destruction.
We deserve equal rights now, today, and will say this every day until it happens.
