Museum SOS

I just saw the news that the Museum of the Earth in Ithaca, NY is facing foreclosure after a group of donors failed to produce about $30 million USD that they had promised.

The museum is run by the Paleontological Research Institution, whose collection has about 7 million fossil specimens—one of the largest in the US—and is one of only a few natural history museums in upstate NY. PRI runs both the Museum and the Cayuga Nature Center, which is also dealing with the budget shortfall.

The organization is working on restructuring (namely downsizing) to improve their financial sustainability but they still need funds, and one thing they've said could help is if people shop at their store!

The foreclosure news broke like two days ago and their shop is already selling fast (testament to how many people want them to survive!) but there are a few items left in stock, including some prehistoric plushies. If you want to make a purchase to help maybe keep them afloat, their online gift shop is here and is honestly extremely reasonably priced.

so how about a FOOT LONG TULLY MONSTER

OR A DUNKLEOSTEUS

OR SOME

TRILOBITE SLIPPERS

They've also got some books, shirts, toys, etc. and I'm sure those sales numbers will help the authors/artists as well.

(Regular donations are also welcomed)

The conversation between Martin and Tim that he overhears in the hall is also really funny. The fact that they're talking about how he should probably go to therapy meanwhile Jon is foaming at the mouth and screaming the date of the recording like he can hear the clock ticking

I just started season two of The Magnus Archives today, and I've just got to say Jon's rampant paranoia is so funny to me

Like, he's not even good at hiding his investigations. He goes to his colleagues' houses after work and the very next day they're like "Jon what the fuck" and report him to their boss who is so done with his antics

And also he's so focused on finding out who killed Gertrude Robinson (a valid concern) that he does not even notice Sasha is POSSESSED. The single-minded focus is insane.

Hey Patrick, I thought of something funnier than 2024

How can anyone hate Junji Ito

Superman desperately scanning the street during a fight to find the most morally acceptable car to throw at his opponent, knowing that not everybody has insurance, and loss of transportation can ruin a life -

A wave of incredible relief washes over him as he spots the hard geometric lines and silver paintless sheen of a Cybertruck.
