Photo of a toddler with curly hair sitting on a beautiful little tricycle and smiling at the camera. She is on the doorstep of a house and a short haired tabby cat looks up at her from where it stands next to her.

I think of the movie ALL THE KING'S MEN (1949): corruption does not stay contained: once corruption becomes common in elite & government circles, it often seeps down to all elements of society, tainting every sincere intention.

probably my hardest/most rigurous skeletal out there, but deserved, since its bones are so well measured and documented

A black and white comic, three panels stacked one on top of the other with white gutters. In the top panel, a toad looks questioning as a balloon from off panel exclaims, "You poor creature!" In the middle panel, the toad looks quite literally the most crestfallen I've ever seen a face as the balloon from off panel says, "It must be so hard..." And in the last and bottom panel, the toad lights up, stars appearing around their head, warmed by the words in the balloon from off panel that continues, "...being the most beautiful toad in the world!"
was recently reminded of one of my all-time favorite bits of sequential acting, drawn by Natalya Lobanova

“enhanced interrogation” instead of torture walked so “detention centers” instead of concentration camps could run.
Salmon exposed to cocaine and its byproduct swam farther than unexposed fish, raising alarms about drug pollution in aquatic ecosystems.
Photo of my sketch of Sue the T. rex's skeleton in front of the Sue mount at The Field Museum in Chicago. I was sitting on the floor for a few hours working on this and it was so annoying because they have an informative light show that plays on the skeleton periodically and I wouldn't be able to make out details during this 5-6 minute sequence. Also my legs kept falling asleep! Someone was taking photos of me working on it, I wonder if those ever made it online. Anyways, its a really awesome museum
I met Sue the T. rex in real life 🥹
It would be interesting to use tan & white-striped morphs of the white-throated sparrow.

As the sole living genera of an ancient order of reptiles, tuataras are key for fossil comparisons of extinct species & modern lepidosaurs (lizards & snakes). Here, their axial skeleton is described in detail, offering new insights to this unique creature...Tuatar-ya interested? 🌍🧪👇
A brownish-black insect with four yellow spots ion his elytra and a pair of pincer protruding from his abdomen. He is standing on a white sheet.
We found this amazing earwig at a bug light last night. This one is a male, they typically have larger pincers. There is not much info available about the genus so I'm not sure why he has those strange protrusions from his abdomen.
