All selfielacanths on my camera roll, 2018-present.

It was raining on and off so I decided to just go to the Museum of Science instead of all the way to the JFK Library. They played the Jurassic Park theme on Tesla coils! Then I headed down the river to break in the new bike on the Esplanade paths and detoured to the Christian Science Plaza to sit by the reflecting pool and read for a while. On the way back, I stopped near MIT to grab some groceries and watch the Charles River sailboats.

Long-time readers of my blog may remember (and sadly they’ll have to just remember for the time being because my account is still suspended) that the Harvard Museum of Natural History is the source of two long-running memes: the Selfielacanth…

…and…

GIANT GROUND SLOTH! GIANT GROUND SLOTH! GIANT GROUND SLOTH!

I went back today and I am happy to inform you both exhibits are still there and have not changed in 8-11 years.

I am also thigh-high to a giant moa.

Blue dragon sea slug plushies that unfortunately have more of a sea lion body type than the real slugs? A++ for concept but C- for accuracy. (There’s an embroidery pattern for an equally cute but more accurate one on Esty here, but unfortunately you can’t just buy the toy itself from the seller, only a pattern.)
