The real reason we counted up all the sloths in the house.... #41sloths #slothbaby Outfit courtesy of @slothgirlmel

@DrPardi This! It's driving me crazy with a certain set of sloths...!!

Like, what even is a species anyway, man?

@MuseumGuyScott No, nor did we forget that Trump had discouraged a lot of ppl from voting in 2020. This is sadly what 2020 would have looked like otherwise...

Text conversation with one of my kids after they left for school this morning. Trying to hang my hat and align my mindset and actions to take on what I wrote in the last entry to encourage and reassure her.

Republican: Mexicans are killers and thieves! Republican: Haitians are eating cats! Republican: Kids don't deserve free school lunch! Republican: Democrats eat babies! Republican: Puerto Rico is garbage! Democrat: You're garbage. Republican: Whoa...why are you so divisive?

I may be "missing" #2024SVP but fear not friends, my afternnon here at home is just as if I was there hahaha #BarWork #ManuscriptReview #SixBridgesBrewing #Cheers

@orionj2 Right there with ya buddy. I didn't go either.

Another year, another missed #2024SVP... :( To all of my friends and colleagues, have a wonderful conference and delight in all of the paleogoodness!! Miss you all!

Love the original and all its puns. Thrilled to add to it! I just backed 🐔Flock Together: Birds of a Feather Eggspansion (& Reprint) on @Kickstarter ?ref=android_thanks_twitter_share

Guess which of these two fine and available specimens was used as the paratype for a Neocnus species? Hint: it's not the one that would have been useful #DumpsterFire #FML #WhyIHateTaxonomy

@slothgirlmel Imma have that mental health week very soon ❤️

Went from having a very good day to a total shit day. Not nearly enough time to properly say goodbye to my sweet girl Ceci before she crossed the rainbow bridge. Miss you Duchess Cecilia

NEW: THREAD: A new ruling from Judge McBurney in Georgia overturning the abortion ban and allowing the procedure to continue has some REMARKABLE quotes. Let's take a look at just a few. 1/

FUDGEOCNUS x2!!!!

@AngelaMAuBuchon Asshat. I always liked NE for splitting the EC votes

@slothgirlmel @DrPardi I came into the comments just to see if you'd seen this Mel M! Going to download this paper later for our use.

frontiersin.org/journals/ecolo… By no means a new study, but I came across it again recently and it serves as an important reminder of how how gaps in knowledge of the natural history of LIVING species can lead to poor assumptions about the "function" of extinct megafauna.

I love this game - cant wait to add these new characters into the mix! I just backed Heroes of Barcadia: Heroes for Hire on @Kickstarter ?ref=android_thanks_twitter_share

Submitted an abstract today. Yes, I still live and science. Been slowly reclaiming my time.

@Dr_Mastodonna @DrPardi Me too, Katy. No idea what's going on.

@DrPardi The paleontology world is being torn apart? I’m always the last to know these things 🤣

re: The Feud Tearing the Paleontology World Apart I understand that drama sells headlines, but those of us in mammal land are doing just fine, thanks.

@SamforGeorgia Thank you for your efforts Sam!

MAGA Republicans are trying to pass a rule less than 100 days from Election Day that would make it discretionary to certify election results! This is unprecedented and dangerous! #gapol georgiarecorder.com/2024/08/06/rig…
