Now it is very important to note that this study is still in preprints and hasn’t been peer reviewed yet. But between this and the possible feathers found on the T. rex mummy, it’s possible the non avian dinosaurs had far more bird like features than we initially thought. What a cool thought!

See Camarasaurus teeth sat higher and much of their roots were exposed. So one would think we see a lot of wear and tear on the entire tooth. But we only see it at the top. And Camarasaurus was eating a lot of tough vegetation. Which means they had to have had some kind of protection. 👇👇

Beaked sauropods? A new study suggests that sauropods had beaks or at least some kind of beak like structure. Now this isn’t a totally new idea. This new study looks at the skull of Camarasaurus and other sauropods. Camarasaurus specifically is a focus because of its teeth. 👇👇

It's incredibly refreshing to see this sort of support. Gents, take some time to actively listen to the women in your life. Trust me, they all have stories. It's on us to stomp out this sort of behavior. "If we wept for every woman who suffered, we'd never stop weeping, would we?" -Ross Montgomery

I am wading deeper and deeper into my busiest time of year at work and I am EXHAUSTED and behind schedule, working overtime trying to catch up. These authors, man. I wish they would hurry up and retire already so we could get some that actually know how to write, follow directions, and use MS Word.

Think about if you went to a business & while browsing the salesperson came up to you, not once or twice, but every 30 secs to ask if you wanted a discount &/or if you wanted to join their mailing list & then after you left they showed up later at your house w random items asking if you wanted any

Fare thee well, Gizmoplex. You were a financial misadventure that failed to self-sufficiently secure future seasons of MST3K, but damn it, you were *our* financial misadventure that failed to self-sufficiently secure future seasons of MST3K.
An illustration of the Gizmoplex, a domed movie theater structure that MST3K described as "the first cineplex on the moon."

The marquee says it's MST3K Tribute Week, complete with screenings of Manos, Future War, and Hobgoblins.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is calmly sitting on his computer when he is startled by noises that sound somewhere between coughing and choking. Alarmed, he rushes to investigate.
Blue: Green? Are you okay?

Blue finds Green on his back on the floor, evidently shaken up but otherwise unharmed.
Green: I somehow swallowed spittle wrong.

Drawing in black ink, primarily in silhouette, of an Onagadori rooster with long flowing tail covert feathers on a plum blossom branch. The rooster's comb and wattle are the only spots of red. The piece is smaller than a postcard and is photographed with the traditional Chinese brush it was drawn with.

I got two job rejections today to start my week off, unfortunately. I appreciate all of your support. If you'd like to help, the best way is to buy my books and spread the word to other folks. If you love magical girls, trans women, and lesbians, you'll probably love them too. magicariot.com/buy
Artwork of the book covers of "Magica Riot" and "Magica Riot: Full Bloom," set against a background of purple crystal. Artwork of several main characters - Bloom, Claire, Nova, Hikari, Sara, Iris, Cass, and Hana - surround the book art. Text reads:

Lesbians! Trans girls! Musical magic! Gross monsters! Evil corpos! Cool band van! Portland weird! Agender hacker! Leftist cuties! Drum swears! They're adults! Hope & optimism! Sincerity!
