About the Blog: This was once an ongoing daily dinosaur encyclopedia. Since I and the artists have gone off to start "real careers" and whatnot, it's become a repository for (mostly) accurate dinosaur content on tumblr. AKA, birds and reconstructions of extinct dinosaurs that don't make my eye twitch
About the Blogger: I'm Meig (ey/em), a paleontology doctoral candidate trying to finish my damn dissertation. I'm also a fat intersex disabled neurodivergent insane nonbinary pansexual jewish anarchist with five companion parrots and a fantastic spouse. I've been trying to use social media less as I've realized how much it impacts my own mental health and wellbeing, so I'm not really online much. But when I am, I post shitposts to @zygodactylus and Jewish/Leftist stuff to @jewish-kulindadromeus. My account is @anachronornis because I thrive on chaos.
About the Blogger's Research: I'm studying the paleoecology and adaptive radiation of birds following the end-Cretaceous mass extinction and during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum.
About asks: Feel free to send them, but I cannot guarantee I will answer them, as I am trying to graduate in the next year or two
About the Blogger's Birds: I have two cockatiels, Minerva and Ahsoka; two conures, Ellie and Willis; and a caique, Bumi. All are adoptees, most from shelters. Willis had a mate, Aurora, who was very sick - we took her in for hospice care, as she and Willis had been in a shelter for sixteen years and we wanted her end of life to be more peaceful. She actually lived longer than we thought she would, but she sadly crossed the rainbow bridge in December of 2023. The only one who poses for photos to any capacity is Ellie, so you may have seen a photo of her elsewhere. We're also each other's ESA's so there's that I guess.
Aaaand that's probably all you need to know. Enjoy the dinosaurs, aka, all the descendants of the most recent common ancestor of Megalosaurus and Iguanodon (and Cetiosaurus if you wanna be a pedant about it). Enjoy the floof.
