Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

aint no way we cut medicaid and housing assistance so jeff bezos could buy this shirt

Not a great time to be bloodletting the CDC.

The Paleontological Society @paleosoc.bsky.social has issued a statement to the paleontology community referencing recent federal policy changes & reaffirming the importance of diversity for paleontological studies and for the health of the scientific community in general. 🧪

Happiest of birthdays to @nathanielpiha.bsky.social, my favorite giant human! There is no one I’d rather face the apocalypse with. ♥️

Please keep in mind that your federal paleo peers are going through a lot right now & may have things going on internally at their various agencies keeping them busy/distracted, leading to additional time to communicate/complete various tasks. Give people a little grace during these stressful times.

Congress is considering rolling back the Endangered Species Act & Marine Mammal Protection Act - US folks please contact your reps before the oversight hearing on Wednesday Feb 26th. Pacific Whale Foundation has a great tool for emailing your reps here: www.pacificwhale.org/what-we-do/c... 🦑🧪

Last night we were at a restaurant that was hosting a bunch of Parrotheads at their bar. They had gathered to raise money for manatee conservation in memory of one of Jimmy Buffett’s passion projects. Thank you for being decent, cool people, Jimmy Buffett fans. Keep fighting the good fight!

Charlotte will protect her catnip from the giant spider, no matter the cost.

A whole lot of things happened to the family in this book but reading about them was Not for Me.

It’s Edward Gorey’s 100th birthday.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

One of the Interns’ secret hidey-holes has been discovered by the Federal Bureau of Missing Kitten toys….

Baby tapir Ume had her first encounter with the water dish and it’s adorable! 🥰

This also goes for digital books and digital audiobooks you get from the library--they pay for the licenses, and the more copies available at once the more they are paying/"purchasing." Go use Libby and Hoopla, it counts as support!
