The Dinosaur Artist: Obsession, Science, and the Global Quest for Fossils
Paige Williams
If you find this stuff interesting, definitely read THE DINOSAUR ARTIST. It talks about these auctions, dinosaur smuggling, and how scientists from all over the globe are affected by these sorts of auctions (and illegal sales with fake provenances) https://t.co/MiYmSraHcg

Tiny
Little Grandma
My grandma (who was of German and Slovakian descent) was like -shrug- just give her a tiny cup. And thus my coffee dependency began at the age of 5. It literally was like the tiniest little cup that was like 90+% milk.

Cry to Heaven
Anne Rice
#IndiePride2 What LGBT+ book impacted you as a child? Well, I binge read every Anne Rice book from 11-13 yrs, and my first brush with queerness was in her vampire books, then more in The Mummy and Cry to Heaven. Both of which were highly influential and not age appropriate but 🤷
