Music is (consuming) My Life

The true tragedy of the debate over whether tyrannosauruses had lips is that even if they did, anatomic comparison with modern saurischians suggests they would have lacked the fine breath control necessary to play the saxophone.

Given that you need more than two fingers per hand to play a saxophone, or pretty much any instrument, what path would you recommend for a hopeful tyrannosaur’s music career?

Hm. Considering the tyrannosaur’s general body plan, its lack of opposable grip, and the fact that its musculature would likely make it difficult to exert gentle pressure, your best bet would probably be some sort of tuned percussion instrument. Might I suggest the glockenspiel? It could readily emulate the four-mallet style of playing simply by tapping the keys with its claws.

i wish there wasn’t such a stigma around being proved wrong, bc it’s a part of life, no one can be right all the time. if we didn’t feel as much shame about it i think a lot of things would change a lot faster

we all need to practice saying “I hadn’t thought of it like that” “I hadn’t seen it that way before” “I must have misunderstood the first time I heard about it” “if I had known those facts I wouldn’t have thought like I did”
