We haven't yet! And I love getting to read those experiences too, it's one of my favorite parts about running this blog.

Inktober 30: Skin

Together in the cycle.

a common misconception, and one that was considered true up until very recently! the genetic evidence for aenocyon dirus being separate from the canis genus was only published in 2021.

in fact, the placement of dires within their own genus is so recent that most museums haven’t even updated their literature or signage to reflect this classification. when i visited la brea tar pits in 2023, all of their signage still listed dire wolves as canis dirus, a “close relative of modern gray wolves”.

lucy made her escape from the party with tae following close on her heels. she didn’t care where she went she just had to get out of there. it wasn’t until they made it to the gatehouse, where it was seemingly empty, that she whirled on him. “i don’t think you’re jealous at all, that’s the problem!” she didn’t know if she was frustrated at him or herself for acting this way. this wasn’t her usual behavior, she’s always been poised and well versed in masking her emotions when upset. however when it came to tae all that was thrown out the window, he always made her feel less in control of herself. maybe all the champagne she drank tonight was also a contributing factor to her heightened emotions, she wasn’t completely drunk but it was definitely enough to make those walls she kept up come crashing down.
