If any of you yanks ever wondered what an Albertan sounds like, apparently it's like a Minnesotan mixed with a Seattleite. I promise you, the accent is weirder than you imagine.

My inner dinosaur nerd always wants dinosaur media to focus on more than just the popular dinosaurs, but my inner child wants to see T. rex fight Triceratops for the millionth time.
Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old?

End of Oak street also was missing any possible sense of wonder over seeing dinosaurs. The closest it gets is Anne Hathaway laughing at some sauropods getting down.
End of Oak Street isn't very good, and not just for dinosaur nerd reasons.
I watched She's the He this weekend and I can't believe there isnt more buzz around this movie, it's so much fun.

It's Pride Month, so I made this illustration. Yeah, it's because there are rainbows—that's the whole point of the tribute. It's not like I racked my brain over it, but whenever I want to show support or celebrate these things, I always get this “I-don't-know-what-to-do” feeling.
The difference between BC and Alberta is that small town folks from BC LOVE their home towns while small town folks in Alberta resent the fact they're in a small town at all.
Alberta is one of the best places for ground squirrels in the entire world - but not in the way most think about the pest-side of their story. Owing to our diverse landscape, there is a GS for every regions, short grass, long grass, aspen forest, montane and slopes!
A little disappointed the adult chimpanzees in Planet Zoo 2 still have pink faces. Real adult chimps usually have dark skin. Why does pop culture always portray them with baby pink faces?

genuinely why was everyone in my life like "omg you HAVE to see Oppenheimer in IMAX" when most of it was just this:
mega them@megathem.bsky.social · 3mo agoevery Nolan film ends up being one of the ugliest, most Britishly drab movies ive ever seen but im supposed to pretend its a visual feast for the eyes
The 1979 Star Trek poster resembles a Pride flag but it seemed like something was missing so I added some square wrinkles
Harley Quinn doesn't where her funny jangly hat enough anymore
I think a lot about how I should've been a teacher. Its probably what I was always meant to do. But being trans is already hard enough. I dont want to make it harder by being a trans woman teacher.
My former workplace still uses photos I took on social, and there are times I'm tempted to comment "wow, that shot is so beautiful, I wonder who took it." 🤔
Gorgosaurus! Specifically, this specimen. She's tattooed on my ribs!

DC should do a story where it's revealed Achilles never died and instead transitioned and joined the Amazons. Like, make her one of Diana's trainers when she was growing up or something fun like that.
Happy belated International Dinosaur Day! 🦖 Celebrating the art of the saurian side-eye for 66 million years.
I helped describe a new species of Andean widow spider! zookeys.pensoft.net/article/185973 This was a rare occurence where an arthropod had a common name before a scientific one. Locals call it "la lucacha," so we are pleased to formally introduce "Latrodectus lucacha" to the scientific community.

The real most important question about The End of Oak Street: Does it portray suburbs in a good or bad way?
All this conversation around the End of Oak Street makes me want to finish my dinosaur movie screenplay.
I've already decided that my first order of business when I get Planet Zoo is to remake my first franchise zoo, but with additional aviaries.
Crossing my fingers that Planet Zoo 2 has at least one vulture species 🤞🤞
