Scientists have reconstructed external features of a 66-million-year-old duck-billed #dinosaur species, Edmontosaurus annectens. The 2 #fossil mummies, as the researchers called them, had exquisite preservation of scales, tail spikes and hooves. 🦖

It sounds like due to the gov shutdown, SNAP isn't going to be available for folks next month. But, there are plenty of weekly distros you can get a free meal (and not just if you are on SNAP!) And if you are looking for help or looking to help reach out to us! Let's take care of each other!

IIrc, the film fest is moving to Colorado!
(I feel like it was a combination of end-of-life planning and getting priced out of the area they helped build up.)

Billionaires are investing millions of dollars to confuse and mislead us about the Pennsylvania Supreme Court election. Why? Because they understand how high the stakes are. That's why its so important to educate ourselves about this election and make sure we’re registered to vote by Monday October 20th! #votepa #pacourts #pacourts2025 #theleuguepartner @leadwithleague @vote.paView all comments

At the urging of a librarian pal, I have tried to be better about logging my read pile, if only to be better at rec’ing things to friends. I’m already over 20 books for the year, which feels like both A Lot and Not Enough, Considering.

Step one: learn to sail in an eggshell.
Step two: create havoc at sea.
Step three: ???
Step four: PROFIT.

In early modern England there was a tradition that witches sailed the sea in eggshells. Children were advised to smash holes in the shells so that they became useless for any witches hoping to cause storms at sea.

You’ve definitely got yourself a mystery there. My local one wasn’t planted for the fruit but because they were constructing a garden of every plant mentioned in Shakespeare.

On the one hand, I look at the inflatable suit protests in Pdx and think, “yes, de-escalation through absurdity”

until one of them wobbles like Gritty, and then I think “ABSOLUTE escalation through absurdity and thrown sheet cakes.”

It has to be a cultivated escapee; North America has a native one, but, like, endemic to Arkansas.

I’ve seen a medlar tree here in Pittsburgh in a walled garden maintained by a colonial historical society. The lengths people would go to for processing this thing!

More writers need to watch all the seasons of HOW IT'S MADE because they for whatever reason have NO idea how the world works, or how things work, or how things work in the world, and then it shows up in their fiction and makes me yell and swear and pace and weep and rend my clothes in despair.
