Out now in Contributions from me and @gilespalaeo.bsky.social, a deep dive into an early member of the sturgeon and paddlefish lineage. Bear with me, but there’s a long backstory highlighting uncertainty about the anatomy of living species and how well-studied fossils can still yield new insights.

Strata the torbie cat, ears back and paw out, draped over Riley’s leg, clad in red and black plaid leggings. Kitten’s being a little possessive.

I was surprised! I’m picky about fries and these were really good, nice crunch and soft insides.

The crisp! It was a smashburger that actually got the crisp and crunch and I wish I were eating it again right now.

The halal smashburger from Baba’s is fucking good. Patty, onion, American cheese, perfection in simplicity.
