As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

Being a palaeoartist and an active palaeontologist, is a blessing and a curse. You can create your own artworks to accompany your research, but, you don't get paid for it, it's additional workload you have to quickly squeeze into your schedule, your artistic mishaps will be scrutinised more.

Transgender men's invisibility is violent erasure. Sam Nordquist, a 24-year-old transgender man, was tortured for over a month to death, and his slaughter is not being considered a hate crime. The media has gone to disgusting lengths to minimize Sam's transgender identity. Hardly anyone is outraged.

This scene from Dinosaurs Alive does the speed and agility of early dinosaurs (and similar animals) the most of justice IMHO.

Ruby, our playful 9-year-old ground hornbill, loves to go on adventures with her care team around zoo grounds! Although she can fly, ground hornbills spend most of their time walking while looking for food. Ground hornbills are very vocal, using their wattles to make loud calls. #lovehornbillsday

The plan is to set up a system of mass involuntary institutionalization to lock up dissidents, people with disabilities, etc. We're seeing the ground work for a eugenics movement being put into action. Don't say you weren't warned.

colour corrected balto ! i was kindly informed that he was black and white rather than a dark brown tone - his taxidermy coat has faded over the years. so here is a full body version of him, stockier build and all - the bg is from the original film :-)

Looks like Elon Musk needs that yearly reminder that The Matrix is a trans allegory written by two closeted trans women. “You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad.”

We have been saying for decades: Disney was never fucking "woke", no matter how many first gay cyclops cops, or 3 frames space lesbian characters they put in their animated movies. they couldn't wait to drop the mask. don't support Disney and that include: Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm and 20th C.S.

From 2019, #paleoart of the asteroid-induced tidal wave that crashed into the southern coast of the United States at the end of the Cretaceous period. It's probably not shown large enough here, even though it dwarfs the giant titanosaur Alamosaurus. #sciart #paleontology #extinction

I wish I was with my girlfriend right now. I just want to be at peace for once and be able to forget everything for a while. To be able to snuggle and cuddle with her, kiss her and hugging her tightly too

Ian, did I ever tell you about the D-Rex? He was our first ever attempt at creating a dinosaur, just a completely fucked mutation with six limbs and an arse for a face. We abandoned him on a secret third island I forgot to mention to you. He's probably still roaming there. And he was a good friend.

New #paleoart to accompany a new paper on the skull of Vegavis, a Mesozoic bird that seems to be closely related to modern waterfowl, pushing the ancestry of modern birds into the Age of Reptiles. Link to paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41... #sciart #dinosaurs #birds #evolution
