@tkingfisher.com TORTILLA BIRD! Is that a lifer?

@tkingfisher.com So someone found this in Michigan and it seems to be identified as an embedded crinoid fossil. I, however, suspect it to be the Biting Pear's cousin, the Biting Rock.

I love finding weird vegetables at work!

@tkingfisher.com Have you ever seen a bird with a particularly weird feature (like saddle-billed storks) and been like "What purpose could THAT serve?" and just...end up looking it up and going down a weird evolutionary trait rabbit hole? I do that a lot.

youtu.be/08BHPfLMxiE Sorry about my terrible voice, but I had some stuff I wanted to get off my chest. I don't know if anyone else is familiar with situations like this, but if you are...feel free to hit me up.

Just some thoughts.youtu.be Just a video about some of my history and to clear up some questions people might have about me. TW: Gender stuff and Attempted S*icide

@tkingfisher.com Is there any one animal (or specific bird) that would literally have you jumping up and down and squealing like a cheerleader on helium to see in person?

@tkingfisher.bsky.social Sun bitterns have those eye markings on their wings like butterflies have to deter predators!

Polyester doesn't breathe. A lot of the clothes in stores now, especially anything cheap, are made of polyester. You will roast to death in them. Do not buy a "breezy" polyester sundress. You will die. Don't encourage them. Sincerely, a sewist who's tired of picking up bolts & being disappointed.

ok i have another quote tweet prompt. what's something, big or small, related to your job or hobby, that most people don't know that you would like to have them know? it can be a concept, a piece of history, some vocabulary, or something else.

“Non-lethal” rubber bullet blinds a journalist in one eye, leads to blindness in the second, and causes dementia and now fatal traumatic brain injury. To be clear: a rubber bullet fired AT her HEAD, while she was flashing journalist credentials and not close to protestors or police. Fatally shot.

When cops shot Linda Tirado in the George Floyd protests, they destroyed one of her eyes with a rubber bullet. The subsequent brain damage is proving fatal. Linda needs funds for hospice Venmo: Linda-Tirado-3 PayPal: Bootstrapindustries@gmail Zelle: 806.433.6075

Police Blinded Her With a Foam Bullet. Suing Them Was When the Pain Beganrubberbullets.longlead.com When less-lethal weapons are misused, journalist Linda Tirado learned, there are no consequences — except for the people at the wrong end of the launcher.

"Just think they could end your business for sending fraudulent reports to banks" Yeah dude, I think about it every year or so when a client's banker tries to solicit a financial status attestation from me about my client's creditworthiness, a felony like what Trump did, here

Friendly reminder: While everyone's making a big thing about pride, and coming out of the closet, let's remember that not everyone is ready, or able, to come out safely. This is why we must keep fighting.

On this date in 1856, John Brown and a group of militant abolitionists killed 5 pro-slavery settlers in Kansas. This was in response to a violent attack on the city of Lawrence by pro-slavery terrorists. It became part of what was later known as Bleeding Kansas.

Fantasy is make-believe wearing a cloak. Science Fiction is make-believe wearing a lab coat. Horror is make-believe wearing those candy wax fangs our moms wouldn't buy for us.

Science fiction is a subgenre of fantasy in which one of the troops is that the natural laws of the universe as we know it more or less apply except in those situations where we've specifically decided they don't.
