Introducing myself! I'm a conservation communicator currently working for a wildlife rehab center. Birding, herping, and complaining about the state of contemporary cinema are my greatest hobbies.
If there is one thing I want to do in my 30s, it's escape the constant feeling that I'm doing something wrong.

I'd love to live in a world where I could save $1000, let alone 5 grand
There’s a reason It’s a wonderful life still has wide appeal.
You see, this is a subtle reference to how we’re living in a capitalistic hellscape where people can’t afford basic things.
That a quote from 1946 still hits so deep to this day because people still can’t make enough to save 5000$.

Yesterday we had a special #MonkeyCruise stream in honor of Jane Goodall! Her contributions to primatology and our understanding of animal intelligence changed the worldview of whole generations and her caring and critical voice will be missed.

Working on invertebrate #paleoart at the moment, knowing I'm probably making mistakes despite best efforts, consulting primary literature etc. Inverts are much like fossil plants: there are few accessible resources on their appearance so we must wing it, or go down deep rabbit holes to restore them.

Anchiornis. Detail from a drawing from 2019.
A new paper by Kiat et al indicates that Anchiornis probably couldn't fly.
(But I still think it might have been capable of 'falling with style'.)

In the years leading up to coming out, my sexuality/gender was indecipherable to the outside observer.
I dressed like a soft butch, shaved my legs, spoke with a manly voice and was married to a woman.
