I am not really sure what to do here...my profile subtext says it best, have my doctorate in stratigraphy/paleontology, I resell ephemera+ in my free time, and I love cats. So I guess there will be a mix of that here?

Star Trek TNG, S2E9: Picard schools a bigot on bodily autonomy, fundamental rights, and respecting people's pronouns

Didn’t really promote myself for #SmallBusinessSaturday but did have over a dozen good postcard sales so thank you if that was any of you!
One of my favorite "hobbies" is running my #ephemera business on #eBay and #District.
I have #Postcards, photographs, POGs, trade cards and all sorts of paper if that's your jam!

For Small Biz Saturday, I want to promote my buddy Dan's Heartsprung Steel. He's Boston local who makes some really fantastic items.
I have both the target and the Uruk-hai buckler he makes and love them both. Fantastic quality. A nice balance between weight & nimbleness.

67. I used to keep small dermestid beetle colonies for prepping osteo specimens. I have used Hide Beetles, but I've had great success with Larder Beetles! They work slowly, but they prep delicate specimens like hummingbirds exquisitely.

I am not sure if there are #tree people here yet but my dad is concerned about his maple tree. When I googled pealing tree bark it was everything from natural/normal to bugs or disease etc.
Upstate NY if that is useful to anyone.

Fossil ID question - a colleague found this object in their departmental collection, unlabeled. I thought it might be a segment from an ammonoid shell, a 3D expression of the septa between chambers of the shell of a goniatite. What do the paleontologists think? ⚒️
