I'm a writer by trade, a tabletop gamer by choice, and a gardener by upbringing. The world is full of wonder: I want to experience what's there and add some too.
Now that's a dinosaur I'd give a wide berth!

@chasmosaurs.bsky.social hasn't gotten around to posting it yet, but this is a fun little retrospective on some dinosaur art: chasmosaurs.com/2025/11/04/v...

Right then – who remembers this one? Hopefully quite a few of you, as it was originally published in 1990 in hardback as part of the Young World series, with this paperback recycling appearing in 2…

A lot of great findings in this study. Check out the full thread to get the details!
CLUMSY MALE DINOSAURS INJURED FEMALES DURING MATING: Our new paper (Filippo Bertozzo et al. 2025), shows that a common tail injury seen in duckbilled dinosaurs was probably caused by heavy male dinosaurs clumsily crushing the spines of females during mating.

This is what the real, human internet is for: answering the burning questions that keep so many of us up at night.
I've covered this tipic before, just with different junk.

This is cool! It's like an inversion of the Bradbury story "The Fog Horn."
Lighthouse Dinosaur. Digital. 8.5x11 inches. This one's been in my head for awhile now and I finally decided to try making it happen.

Finally finished Page 19 for Tech Rush! I think I learned a valuable lesson - not every panel need a full background! 😅

Anyway, as usual, the link for the new page is below!

I love that Bsky is full of so many creatives doing such amazingly creative things. This is a project I will continue to watch with great interest.

After my last post, I decided to search #checkmymath to see if it's a thing people do. I would actually really like to have this as a resource if people who enjoy random math problems will take up the challenge.

Answer: not really, but there are some gems there.

To modern eyes, the 1861 Punch #comic seems akin to the #dinosaur #art of creatures witnessing the deadly meteorite impact that we see so often these days.

However, I think this comic predates the notion that dinosaur extinction was due to an astronomic catastrophe.

Good News: The Rapture actually happened today at midnight GMT.

Bad News: We're all still here.

Nobody can make the cut as long as there's this much suffering in the world. Do what you can to make this world the best place it can be, and maybe we'll make the cut next time.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the launch of my #dinosaur novel PLUG AND FEATHERS such a success.

Especially thankful to @denseblackhole.bsky.social for helping to promote it.

My novel cracked the top 100 in one of its categories. Here's a screenshot, of where I ranked among the gay erotica.

One of the challenges of writing historic fiction about people encountering dinosaurs is: would they even recognize what these are?

Based on historic reconstructions vs. our modern understanding of what they'd see--they might not know what they're seeing.
The weird and wacky Compsognathus reconstructions of the 20th century are a testament to how rare good reference material once was for dinosaur artists. We’ve had good specimens for as long as we’ve known it, yet these were the norm in books for ages! It’s easy to forget how good we have it now.

Why PLUG AND FEATHERS?
PLUG AND FEATHERS is the story of the complicated relationship of three people, how their trip into the world of dinosaurs forces them to address the unresolved issues between them.
