Excellent new paper by Maximilian Gaetan et al. - a reevaluation of the early short-snouted shark-toothed dolphin Prosqualodon australis from Argentina. Dozens of new specimens, including many new skulls, are described! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Black-headed gull, photographed on a small island on a lake. Not pictured are the baby gulls, who were well hidden among the flowers. Whenever I look at this picture, I imagine what it must be like to be as tall as a daisy 🌼 #gulls #seagull #birding #birdwatching #birb #seabird #birdphotography

This is the video I referenced ! Please enjoy a moment of happiness.

In case anyone is still wondering if Facebook is garbage: Yes, but More.

Working (struggling!) on my second piece for the upcoming 2025 Polar Lights zine (subjects removed for secrecy) Very glad this one is digital. #wip #art #timelapse

It's not the Not Knowing that bothers me. Not knowing this is great because you can learn! It's the unwillingness to consider that maybe turkeys DON'T drown if they look up while it's raining. (And that's often indicative of a mindset that will be a Problem about bigger, important things as well)

I think i finally found my biggest personal pet peeve and it's educated adult humans clinging desperately to kindergarten-level animal stereotypes. Themselves usually based on sociopolitical cartoons from hundreds of years ago with no basis in reality. Or worse, Aristotle.

A grooming puffin on Lunga, one of the Treshnish isles which lie off the coast of mull. Phone video as the birds tolerate humans, possibly as our presence discourages predators such as skuas. One for super seabird sunday. #SuperSeabirdSunday #puffin #Lunga #Mull #Birds #Scotland

The flight of a Fulmar, with it's distinctive tube beak. Although looking like a gull, they are actually petrels. Ocean feeding seabirds. #birds #seabirds #petrel #fulmar #birdphotography

Now I'm just trying to do whatever I can with what I've got. I can't afford more education or relocation but at least my ancestors taught me how to struggle effectively and my hands can still make things.

While waiting for M I'm looking down at a few of the buildings I worked so hard to be qualified to work in before both my body and the economy betrayed me. I know now I won't ever get to have my dream jobs and it took me a long time to come to terms with that. Not everyone gets to.

My comfort art is apparently going to be baby seabirds for the next while. I hope you all like some fluffy muppets.
