Psh! And they said legendary pokemon couldn't reproduce. What about with each other, hm?
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
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)
I animated this at the beginning of the year. A character concept for the Deer-gods story. His name is Caligo. I loved the shapes of his face so much I had to make him move.
This is very accurate.
