The scaly-foot snail doesn’t bow to pressure—it thrives under it. Living in toxic hydrothermal vents, it armors itself with iron, turning the very forces that should destroy it into protection. That’s how you resist oppression—adapt, fortify, and endure. 🐌🔥 #MolluscMonday #Resist

I'm taking a look at the Rhynie Chert again, so I made a quick size chart of the plants I've already illustrated from it. These plants are some of the earliest land #plants, being from the Early #Devonian. From left to right: Asteroxylon, Horneophyton and Aglaophyton. #paleoart #paleobotany #sciart

A Pachydiscid ammonite collected from the Late Cretaceous Haslam Formation of Saanich Peninsula. This is the largest and most complete ammonite I’ve ever found on Saanich Peninsula. It measures 23cm at the widest point. #MolluscMonday #FossilFriday #UpperCretaceous #Ammonite #NanaimoGroup #HaslamFm

Tonight in Art Therapy with the Plucky Shrimp, we are speaking on behalf of the ocean, and are VERY mad, not only at the evil guys in charge but also at every evil person who enables the evil guys in charge. Every last one. May they know no peace for the rest of their miserable lives.

Did you know the CBC was started by a Conservative? In 1935, faced with the growing dominance of American media within Canada (sound familiar?) then Conservative Prime Minister R. B. Bennett, announced the creation of the CBC. He declared: “We will show the United States we are not an appendage.”

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Say it with us: Doug Ford won a majority government even though most voters supported a different party. First-past-the-post distorts the will of the people. It’s time to demand proportional representation.

Today's #ArtBoost is Patrik Oberstar, a geology student and palaeoartist linked to Slovenia and Croatia who's doing great pencil sketches, including of #dinosaurs #marinereptiles #temnospondyls and living animals too. He's available for commission. I found him on Twitter, is he on BSky?

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

This is a gorgeous cover and an even cooler paper - a full phylogenetic tree using BUSCO genes, featuring new genomes for some weirdos including chitons, the watering-pot shell, a tusk shell, a symbiotically chemosynthetic mud clam, the Chilean abalone (not an abalone), and two monoplacophorans! 🧪

This should be the first order of business for Ontarians. There should be no further incursion of Musk interests in Canada ESPECIALLY ones that could pose a major security threat like satellite service.

Just got hit with a very suspicious looking "poll" text message from "Voter Research Services." BCers received similar texts mere months ago ahead of our provincial election. With a fed one coming it seems these are starting up. DO NOT ANSWER. Report as Spam and block the number.
