Hello to new and familiar faces!
In my old life, I was a vertebrate palaeontologist who studied fossilized bird and dinosaur footprints.
Now, I work as a remote medical scribe for a podiatry clinic. I do #BirdGlamour a #scicomm project where I create makeup looks based on birds and other critters!🐡
Immediately thought of "Lexx" (Canadian-German production)!
I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

My experience with Ruffed Grouse is that unlike their “heart attack bird” cousins, the Sharp-tailed Grouse, they just walk around like they own the place (which they do) #birds 🌿

Just in case my U.S. followers need to track down a turkey for Thanksgiving, here's a helpful guide in a November 2012 blog post by Yours Truly, with insights on the behavioral ecology of wild turkeys on a Georgia-coast barrier island (Cumberland). 🧪🦃🐾

Time to start the betting pool on how long my new fancy mug/holiday gift will survive my general Me-ness of being the reason I can't have nice things.
This is officially Day 2 of Mug Watch.

AI is like this giant fucking boat we all were forced to get on, and it's a boat they stole, and also it barely floats, and also it's not going anywhere good. So it either takes us somewhere we hate, or it fucking sinks, so either way, fuck AI.
So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.

A crime was just committed in my presence: on turning away after making a purchase, I saw a customer was wearing a cat-carrier backpack and I WAS NOT INTRODUCED TO THE CAT.

This is all that can be expected of me today, as I woke hourly last night like it was my job, half from Mr. Man, the other half from my brain performing nocturnal contortions.

Do you ever just stop and take a moment to think just how weird it is that we live on the same planet as snails?

A whole shoal of goldfish have made their way over to www.palaeoplushies.com

These cute carp won't grow too big for your cuddles, and unlike the real thing they don't need a pond (or a real big tank) to be happy.

#BirdGlamour says BOO! this Halloween with the Spotted Lanterfly! Calling southeast Asia home, these planthoppers were first noted in Philadelphia in 2014! Populations are checked by parasitic wasps in southeast Asia but are an invasive species in N.A., going after agriculture and lumber crops. 🐞

Watching Ghost TV while precharting and Holy Corvids, the all-ladies ghost hunting teams are refreshing AF. There's none of that toxic "Fight me ghost bro!" attitude, they respect each other, and no "I'm going to act like a necrotic skin flap to everyone and just say I'm possessed" nonsense.
