Ok we're trying gouache again
happy #fossilfriday! this is pantelosaurus, a synapsid from early permian germany. a relatively small predator, pantelosaurus is known from a bone bed that preserves at least 6 individuals, potentially suggesting gregarious habits

A friend recently remarked that the saiga antelope looks like something from a fantasy tale. And yeah, it does.
A little feel good doodle of an elf and her steed heading out on an adventure, I think.
i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”
Yeah, exactly. At first I didn't even notice the "urgent waiting list" on there, and it kind of broke my brain when I finally did.
I think there should be some tangible consequences for absolutely destroying the health care system for an entire country, but what do I, a pleb, know.
So, I had an MRI in August I think? And just last week I finally got a letter telling me that I can now set up an appointment with a gyno for a consultation for the surgery I've been waiting for since August 2023. The funny thing is they sent it to me, because I'm on an "urgent waiting list". Urgent

#marchofthemammals2026 Day 6: A leaping Birbalomys sondaari! Part of a pretty mysterious and obscure early radiation of rodents
happy #fossilfriday! bonus: this is simocyon, a puma-sized carnivore from the miocene and pliocene that was related to red pandas. like red pandas, simocyon had a wrist bone called a radial sesamoid, which functioned as a false thumb to aid in a semi-arboreal lifestyle

My problem with modern gaming - modern tech, products, services, anything really - is that you aren't the customer.
You are a user. A consumer.
The actual customers are the investors & business guys. And I think that's f* up.
I'm guessing it's a bc of American exceptionalism. They can't possibly be criticised for their actions, bc they're a special little guy, and the greatest country on Earth. Plus the inability to separate themselves from their country, so any critique of the state feels like a personal attack
I hope Keir Starmer wakes up covered in caterpillars and there are so many caterpillars, he’s telling his wife he doesn’t even know where the caterpillars came from but she’s SO angry at him for the caterpillars and when he tries to eat breakfast caterpillars pour out of his stupid cornflakes box.
Kobo, please, just let me turn on the dark mode when I'm actually reading in the app. What even is the point if I get my retinas blasted into high heaven the moment I open a book?
Andreolepis has seen horrors beyond its comprehension.
Right? It's one of those "if you wrote this in a book, your editor would tell you you're a bit heavy handed". Just mind-boggling.
So, like, at what point do they realise that they are, in fact, the bad guys here? Like, you'd think that "oh, we're starting a war to bring about the apocalypse" would be enough, right?
You have no leg to stand on when it comes to talking about religious extremism and terrorism, bc wtf is this?
Like, I know nothing will change regardless of if I share my art or not, but you know...
Also, I swear I'm actually still making stuff.
I'm adjusting to a new routine, spending most time currently on light exercises and sketching, so I don't really have a lot to show, plus the everything that's going on is not exactly putting me into the mood for sharing my stupid little doodles
What the ever loving fuck is wrong with those people?
Note to self for the future: don't touch your nice new sketchbook with a matt cover a few minutes after applying oil to your nails.
Unless you want a crap load of fingerprints all over, of course.
The US needs to get the Feck out of everywhere outside their own borders IMMEDIATELY!!
i do wish the "good" labour MPs would do something about starmer getting us involved with trump and netanyahu's attack on iran aside from posting about it on social media
People really struggling with the idea that the Iranian government sucks but we shouldn't be bombing them can both be true, eh?
I'm thinking about how much they all belong in The Hague.
