Golden horsies at golden hour

The little baby boys I was fostering, Tik Tok and Flip Flop, went to a bigger rescue yesterday, so I did a photoshoot with them before saying goodbye! If you are anywhere near Sheridan, Wyoming, and want the sweetest little crazy dudes ever, go adopt them! They are brothers and best friends!

Some pictures I took of the sheepie sheeps. The Wyoming Sheep and Wool Festival was right here in Kemmerer and they let people come see the actual sheep moving!

Some of these didn’t upload but you can see a lot more here on Flickr.

My newest article for LiveScience is about a ton of Pleistocene bones found in a cave in Siberia!

We’re talking:

• Mammoths
• Horses
• Wooly Rhinos
• Wooly Bison
• Brown Bears
• Wolves
• Yaks
• Deer
• Gazelles
• Rodents
• Birds
• Fish
• Frogs
• and of course, cave hyenas! Including baby ones!

All the bones are chewed up too

Look at how the little guy’s eyes are changing colours!

Also they play hard and they sleep hard. Look at Bijou over there giving the Bombastic Side Eye.

Someone was telling me there is no way you could eat dandelions, otherwise they’d all be harvested and sold in the market and you’d never be able to pick any

I mean that is some Grade A capitalist brain rot

I’m running a panel on vertical video (like TikTok, Instagram Reels etc) in October and I’m going to be the change I wish to see: I’m going to actually include the money/ROI situation that no one ever wants to talk about

Man I’ve been to a lot of panels and read so much writing advice online, and no one talks about money. If they’re asked, they just spout “this isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme” Like OK great. Is anyone making a living wage ever? Is the average person? Is the person giving advice here making anything off of this? I have bills to pay, and yes I do lots of fun and charitable things for free, but money is a factor in everything so you should be discussing it if you’re getting up on a podium and promoting it! And make sure the numbers are useful to the audience: just talking about the success of a handful of people is not relevant to most people. Averages can be ok but the more specific, the better.

I’m gonna dedicate like 20% of this talk to money. Maybe once I get a nice document together with exact numbers I’ll post it here.

Once I posted my salary here and I got a message saying basically “you’re so rich and privileged” and then others amounting to basically “aren’t you ashamed that you’re in your 30’s and still making so little money? If you weren’t so entitled you’d give up your career and do something more practical.” So, admittedly I understand why people don’t want to say anything about money because there is literally no number that will stop people from having extreme opinions about it.

But, I’m going to share anyway because it will help people make choices and maybe mitigate some pay discrepancies.

My first article for LiveScience. Look at the teeth on that (extinct) dolphin!

The scientists examined the bones and made some educated guesses as to what, and how, they ate…

There’s been a lot of rain here lately. Caught a shooting star on camera last night.
