200 Followers? How about that! More about me then! Being a dinosaur-loving nerd in West Virginia was hard, it’s not a mecca of Mesozoic deposits. But because I lived on the northern end of the state, my schools would occasionally book field trips to @CarnegieMNH.

There is a seemingly endless worldwide shortage of computer components because individuals who like to pretend they’re artists are generating a constant flow of foul digital refuse via AI. Exhibit A…

10 years ago if I needed to find an individual who provided a specific or niche service, I could just Google it and find someone's dopey little personal website and I'd give them a call.

Now for every niche service there's 5 different aggregate websites with accompanying app I have to sign up for and log-in to and verify my e-mail with and receive a text code and fill out a 10 minute form about what I'm looking for specifically and I have to use their cursed little in-app chat to contact anyone and the demonic website/app ends up taking 25% commission every time I book someone and all the top matches are not individuals anyway but organizations where THEY have their own fucking system for soullessly matching me with one of their employees and they'll endlessly text me trying to convince me that they're the perfect fit for me if I'm looking for a DIFFERENT service I didn't ask for in the fucking 10 minute form THEY asked me to fill out! And all I get out of this whole tired ordeal is more spam in my inbox.

Even if I find names of people I want to contact on these sinful websites and then I Google them to reach out personally I end up finding nothing but their 17 OTHER listings on competing aggregate apps and/or their linkedin which I have to fucking personally deliver a vial of my DNA to some OTHER data company in order to verify my identity to and I'm just... so over all this.

I used to keep track of all of my log-ins and services I gave my personal data to and I simply cannot anymore. It's a deluge, a blight! I feel so stripped bare of my humanity and anytime I forget where I put my wallet when I'm leaving the house I think about how many hard drives in the world contain the supposedly private information I have so innocently and absentmindedly misplaced.

My body, my mind, and my spirit were not built for this! The days where technology was a tool with which to create for and connect to other humans are slipping away from me! For every phone call that is answered by a machine and every simple tool or device or appliance that I have to "register" to my phone app I lose precious, beautiful seconds of my one and only fleeting life! For every pin number, code, and login I must retain in my mind, a wisp of my soul is displaced to make room!

Humanity is so wonderful, so rich and so pure, it is no wonder that these things which lack it so desperately and aggressively try to steal it!

@Bonpland @Tumayooo @Emperorgrine You really need to get a Bluesky account @Bonpland. People aren’t on Twitter to learn anymore. And you can block them there if they get too spicy.

[@WilesPaleo.bsky.social @WilesPaleo]

@Bonpland Happy Birthday! 🎁🎂🎉
I miss seeing your art now that I’m primarily active on Bluesky!

HEY Y'ALL

I'm doing another Dono Doodle Stream TOMORROW NIGHT at 8PM EST to raise money for a new PC! The one I have now is literally falling apart, and that thing is my money maker! If you'd like some cute art, please consider coming by my stream! 💜🖤

Can you guys please stop treating the field of paleontology like it's a fandom?

These are just extinct organisms that we use to get a better idea of how evolution works & biodiversity throughout Earth history.

The animals and the people who study them are not *characters*.

Today @SkeleCrewPaleo covered the only megaraptoran in Jurassic World Evolution 2, Australovenator. Very mysterious group of critters, definitely worth watching for what little we know(published)…

Sometimes I worry that my artstyle can look a little samey, so it's nice to sometimes get to animate unconventional mouth shapes!!!

I love this concept art of Musharna so much, cause I've never seen an image that more accurately represents the feeling of being awake when u don't want to be
