PSA: Anyone living close to the coast in the northeast Atlantic should keep their eyes out for beached sea turtles as we head into the coldest months of the year. Countries across northwest Europe have quietly been documenting greatly elevated stranding rates for the last couple of years. 🧪🐢

The turtles will die at sea from cold shock in this season and this part of the world, so do not return them to the water! If you find a live turtle, contact your nearest aquarium or animal rescue service. If you find a dead one, contact your nearest natural history museum.

One of my favourite #Pleistocene mammals - and, yes, it has a role in #PrehistoricPlanetIceAge - is the big predatory marsupial #Thylacoleo. Here's an introduction to this fantastic animal.... tetzoo.com/blog/2025/11... #marsupials

Every once in a while I remember that it used to be a massive scandal with legal consequences for members of federal government to be revealed as Russian agents. Like. In my lifetime! Not that long ago! Our federal government used to root out, reject, and imprison Russian assets!

Weird, huh?

New episode!! 🎉🎙️

A conversation with @aliboyle.bsky.social & @jomahr.bsky.social about the functions of memory.

We may not immediately think of memory as an evolutionary puzzle. But in certain respects—and from certain angles—it is quite puzzling indeed.

Not gonna lie, I made us make these scarves as merch because I don't wear t-shirts with words on them and I was tired of nerdy t-shirts getting all the nerdwear love

(Btw, this time of year is a great time for merch shopping because redbubble is often running sales)
Throwback to launching our very first merch this time in 2017 (!!)

Silky scarves with characters from the International Phonetic Alphabet on them!

Originally only in red, navy, and olive these scarves became so popular we later expanded to other colours and subfields

I spent two years looking for a job in the games industry to use my degree, but the only game studio in Rhode Island where we lived for my spouse’s job imploded because it was mismanaged by a dipshit baseball player. I decided I needed to find creative work I could do from home on my own.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Thanks to Marc for a great review of our new book! "...a tremendous amount of work went into this book... there’s no other work that unites everything we know about them, their palaeoenvironments, and their modern day afterlife like Spinosaur Tales..". #dinosaurs #books

Just a PSA to the men out there who are mad about not getting what they want in this world: Being a man is like playing life on easy or at most normal difficulty, you need to get your shit together, the world is not against you because you're a man
“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

YES!! When I discovered that my family doesn't like turkey much, I dropped it SO FAST because I hate making it. Now I can get creative!

This year we're having ribs. ♥️
Turkey is a subpar bird, and every Thanksgiving, well-meaning people spend days and thousands of dollars trying to make their beloved feast centerpiece taste as good as mediocre chicken

This is fundamentally unworkable. Lots of people who are not trans get misgendered for a variety of reasons. Do we really want to live in a society where you can only pee if you 'look' a certain way??? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Trans people could be barred from services based on appearance
The new code of practice on access to single-sex services cannot gain legal force until it gets sign-off from ministers.

To all of my BlueSky friends,

I don't really pitch or sell things on this platform, but I want to share this fundraiser.

I've spent some time in the Wayuu community and the people there are lovely and warm. But the children are at a severe disadvantage.

Do you have nostalgia for Classic WoW, but still want to play retail WoW? Consider Plot 47 in Razorwind Shores! It has all the dust and cactus apples you remember from when you logged in for the very first time. It won't make you young again, but it'll make you feel something, anything!
