Every Pride Month I’m once again struck by the ridiculousness of the “marriage is between a man and a woman, as (the Christian) God intended” and similar ‘marriage is a (somehow a solely) Christian institution’ rhetoric. Your God did not invent marriage. Your God was late to the scene on the whole marriage thing. It existed long before the Old Testament, even. Which is not to say that marriage as a Christian rite (which was a later historical construct) is not valid, I believe everyone has a right to practice their religious beliefs surrounding marriage but, again, most religions and societies have some concept of marriage and your idea of Christian marriage entered the game way later than some of these.

The concept of marriage in American society is a legal construct, not a religious one.

(Also, side note, Christian marriage being between “one man and one woman” is controversial even in Christian theological debate because polygyny is never definitively condemned in the text. They only decided on the one man and one woman thing in 673 and not everyone agreed.)

Im arting stuff. This painting was created for a competition at my school that required participants to paint an architectural sculpture... I got a little carried away. The sculpture I painted is an existing work of art. I'd like to share the title, artist, and location, but I can't find it anywhere anymore 😓

Tyler here is talking about comments regarding the new Muttaburrasaurus skull paper that greatly improves our understanding of the material.

Specifically it's about this reconstruction:

While I think that person had a shit take I also think it reveals a fascinating aspect of paleoart that many people aren't conscious about: we use art to legitimize science, something that is probably unique to paleontology. A piece of paleoart can change radically how the results of a paper are perceived. I have seen several time now papers raising eyebrows and starting debates, mostly because the artwork that came with it wasn't convincing or challenged preconceived notions without offering a satisfying alternative.

I noticed that a few times with myself, with discoveries challenging how I imagined certain critters. In these cases I often times doodled my way back into liking it, basically convincing myself with aesthetics. I don't bring this up to condemn this behavior. It's more of an observation that we can use in our favor. Being aware of it is half the battle. To better communicate and to better self check. Once again I recommend this little book for people more interested in the subject:
