A group of Dinanomodon guoi is feeding beside a stream. Nearby, two Moschowhaitsia lidaqingi, large carnivorous therocephalians, are looking for an opportunity to hunt. Across the stream, a pair of Turfanodon jiufengensis are resting.

I wanna share some silly dromaeosaurs that are inspired by pictures of corvids taken by satuliljeqvist on Instagram.

I highly recommend checking out their bird photography.

A digital illustration of three dromaeosaurs playing in the snow. The top dromaeosaur is laying on its side with one leg up in the air. The middle dromaeosaur is also laying on its side, its behind is facing the viewer and its head pokes up from behind its body to look behind itself. The bottom dromaeosaur is sitting in the snow and fluffing up its feathers, its head is angled down as it looks down on its clawed toes in the snow. A digital illustration of a dromaeosaur fluffing up its feathers. It's facing the viewer at an angle with its tail up high to the right side of the canvas. Its head is turned to the viewer. The fluffed out festhers on its belly and legs resemble big puffy pants.

Orthoceras (big) and Lituites
fantastical drawing of extinct nautiloids, cephalopods with external shells. A larger Orthoceras has a straight, pointed, cone-shaped shell, colored in teals, browns, and purples. several smaller Lituites nautiloids are nearby, and their shells are mostly straight with a snail-like coil at the end. they are colored in pinks and oranges

decked out in her breeding plumage, arizona's most eligible dilophosaurus debutante takes a much-needed rest by a stream. who knew that competing for a mate could be such an exhausting endeavour?
#paleoart comm by @literallymiguel.bsky.social
the double-crested theropod dilophosaurus rests by a stream in the shade of a tree, with some slender sauropodomorphs and pterosaurs in the background, which shows a forest and a canyon. her plumage is mostly black to dark grey, with a slightly lighter underbelly, flecked throughout with lilac-white highlights. there is a ring of blue skin around her eye, and her crest is sulphur-yellow with black vertical stripes.

Frankly the world should look more like Douglas Henderson’s Triassic scenes
Ophiacodon-type guys in shallow water. Black and white drawing with strong value shift from foreground to background. Hanging foreground fronds frame the top of the image. Similar style illustration: dark foreground, light background, framing foreground plants. We’ve got some sort of therapsid predator in the center foreground with Moschops-y guys resting further back. Similar style image. This one has toilet seat-headed amphibians basking with their mouth open in a swamp. White mist obscures the landscape. A darkened foreground phytosaur with open mouth. Bipedal dinosaurs race past, some in shadow, some in light. A dark fallen log across the top of the image.

An illustration colored in blacks, grays, and red of a Dilophosaurus family feasting on the corpse of a Sarahsaurus. Blood is dripping from the mouth of the adult and its holding the heart of the disemboweled creature at its feet. Two juvenile Dilophosaurus are taking part in feasting on the corpse their parent killed. Below the illustration is the text "Fix Your Heart Or Die" which is a reference to David Lynch's Twin Peaks.

Turns out, cliques & specimen restrictions, are perpetrated chiefly by high-profile researchers and target early careers. I do wonder if famed academics know, they're hurting & wasting young talent. Or do they marinate in arrogance & self importance?

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

Hey, instead of yelling at people about not using Alt text, if it's really important with you, post the alt text in comments.

Accessibility is important, yes, but let's not forget that people have different levels of energy to provide them.

It is not always malicious intent.

i think the accessibility features on bluesky are great but because i don't use the platform often, i always forget they're there. whenever i post my art, i post the same thing on all my socials at the same time, so it's a lot of copypasting.
a screenshot of a bluesky interaction. the first post is by bluesky user spikermonster posting a drawing he made of an adult lydia deetz from the beetlejuice cartoon, wearing a victorian vampire outfit. the caption says "of the palette variations i made i think this one might be my favorite." the palette has lydia in teal lighting in front of four gothic windows showing a purple night sky. the second post is by bluesky user kimifw simply quoting a post by jnxouaquaga which reads "How are you *still* not using alt text Is it a blatant "fuck you"? Advertising "I am a dickhead and cannot be forced to care"? Bc it sure seems like it." this user has been leaving this quote on several random posts from what it seems. spikermonster replies: "i’m really not used to using bluesky yet, sorry. i don’t spend much time on here and i’m usually in a hurry, plus describing my own work just feels very strange to me so i get stuck trying to think of how to do it."
