We all know how it ends, but by the time I got there this book had me mourning (and in awe of) these animals and their ecologies

This week, we explore the digestive products of dinosaurs.
This is one of my favorite sections from 404 Media. They essentially break down scientific studies in simple terms to make it accessible to people. It's typically a random compilation of studies. I love dinosaurs so this was great to read.

This book is equally enthralling and terrifying, I definitely recommend it - came out 10 years ago and feels more pressing than ever before

One of the most memorable and fascinating books I have read in a while. This is about, among other things, early 20th century explorer and scientist William Beebe’s adventures and exploits in exploring the unseen deep ocean and witnessing all its strange life forms in a bathysphere, as well as stories about his contemporaries/friends of the era and general musings on the nature of exploration. Chapters are not always linear and include his logbook entries and illustrations, they’re no more than 2-3 pages at a time, capturing vivid vignettes and creating an almost dream like type of prose, much like the wonder and awe Beebe must have experienced seeing all of this himself- it’s far from a dry scientific account- the author Brad Fox has truly done something special here. Really cannot do it justice so check it out yourself to see.

Lately the only things I feel compelled to draw for tattoo practice are horses (and greyhounds—the horse of dogs)

They really managed to capture a look of abject horror or disgust in each of their little faces
