An update

Hey dear patrons,

I wanted to take a moment to update you on a personal situation that has kept me away for a bit. Unfortunately, my mom had a stroke due to a combination of medications. She's had a longstanding struggle with addiction to pain medication. It was an incredibly uncertain and trying week for us, but I'm relieved to inform you that she's now stable. Soon, she will be transitioning to a rehab facility for her recovery.

I deeply appreciate your patience and understandin...

My mom isn’t doing well.

Sorry I haven’t been as active here. I’ve been dealing with what could possibly be the end of my mother. Of course

Watching my mom go through her ninth stroke this year has been rough. The years of drug abuse have really taken a toll on her. Even though she's only 70, she looks and feels so much older. This latest stroke? It just feels different, like she's fading in a way I haven't seen before.

We've had our differences, big ones. She pushed me away because I'm gay, and we ha...

Faith Healing Exposed: The Dark Side & Its Impact on Children & the LGBTQ+ Community

I've been delving deep into the dangers and moral ramifications of faith-based healing, especially its detrimental effects on the LGBTQ+ community. I've learned how such practices often sideline medical evidence in favor of spiritual beliefs, sometimes with heart-wrenching outcomes, like the Ella Foster case. It's unsettling to see how these "cures" for LGBTQ+ individuals have historically been implemented, causing more harm than good. I also came across the chilling story of Anneliese Michel...

The Guy who Thought he bought a Fairy (LA Marzulli deep dive, Uncensored!)

That Guy Who thought he bought a fairy (Sneak Peek)

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a few days! Been busy working on a video that's going to be a bit longer than I anticipated. Mostly because I chose to incorporate Harley Quinn in the video as a tribute to Arleen Sorkin halfway through. Here's the first minute and twenty seconds! 

The Iridescent Journey of Caloceras johnstoni: Through Daria Morgendorffer's Eyes

Let Daria describe these two specimens I was extremely lucky to find and allowed to keep almost ten years ago! 

My fossil fish was keeping a secret from me.

A few months ago I found a near-perfect fossil fish from the Triassic period in what is now Connecticut. However, it was hiding a secret from me: underneath the positive impressio of the fish was a think layer of rock. It broke off while I was moving the specimen to reveal even more fossil scales. How could this happen? Let’s consider the facts.

A fish, after death, experienced decomposition which led to a buildup of internal gases causing it to float. Once floating, the ga...

Rhamphorhynchoids in the Connecticut River?

You may be wondering what I’m holding. This is a fossil I discovered earlier this year and it is that of a Rhamphorhynchoid facial impression! This comes from the late Triassic layers of The Connecticut River valley and it’s the first evidence we have of Rhamphorhynchoids living in the area! It’s also jump starter a major project I’ve been working on this summer to find more evidence of their habitat.

Rhamphorhynchoids, belonging to the suborder Rhamphorhynchoidea, were early pt...

Working on a documentary about the New England Vampire Panic

Here’s a short summary, of the history, as all of the cemeteries are within close proximity to me:

The New England Vampire Panic and Mercy Brown: A Tale of Fear and Folklore**

The late 19th century in New England was a time of change, with the Industrial Revolution reshaping society. Amidst these transformations, a peculiar and chilling episode unfolded, known as the New England Vampire Panic. At the heart of this panic was a young woman named Mercy Brown, whose story...

Away for a week! + Discord Link

Hey all! I am away for a week fossil hunting! Thought I’d update the discord link here for those who may not have joined! Just introduce yourself in the channel “introduce-yourself” using our template and I’ll get ya verified.

Pictured is an Otozoum footprint I found recently. Otozoum is an extinct ichnospecies of fossilized sauropodomorph dinosaur footprints and other markings in sandstones. They were made by heavy, bipedal animals (probably dinosaurs) with a short stride that ...

A Love Letter to Batman & Kevin Conroy

In a way, this is a love letter to Kevin Conroy. He was my first celebrity crush in the 90s. Kevin Conroy is an American actor best known for his voice role as Bruce Wayne/Batman in the "Batman: The Animated Series" (1992-1995) and various other animated series, films, and video games set in the DC Universe. Born on November 30, 1955, Conroy's distinctive voice and portrayal of the Dark Knight has made him a fan favorite and, for many, the definitive voice of Batman. Over the years, he has re...

A brief history of Fossil Dinosaur Footprints in the Connecticut River Valley, highlighting my recent finds!

I spent a few days continuing my research in the Connecticut River Valley, which spans parts of Connecticut and Massachusetts, has been a rich source of fossil dinosaur footprints, as you can see by all of my finds yesterday. Here's a brief history:

Early 19th Century Discoveries: While the indigenous peoples of the region had likely known about these footprints for centuries, the footprints began to garner scientific attention in the early 19th century. Some local...

Harley Quinn voice over Sneak Peek!

Harley Quinn is coming to my next video! I've been working with a few voice actors! Here's the file the voice of Harley sent me to dissect and use! 

Chosen family

Hey, all! It’s not often that I pour any personal or emotional information out there, but I want to explain what I’ve been going through in the last few weeks or so.

Recently one of my cousins got married. Third one this year, actually. And it’s also the third wedding in a row that I wasn’t invited to.

This isn’t something I’d take personally, however my siblings were invited and they also attended. Both my mother and father were invited though being divorced for thir...

God & Satan Divorce Court

Hey all! This is part of an animation I'm making for the intro of my next video that dives into the belief that Fossils were planted on Earth to test our faith! 

Noah's Ark & Gay Lions

This video has taken up most of my life for the last two weeks... and it's barely halfway done! I still need to animate two other guest speakers. I hope you enjoy what I have so far! 

Road to Cerulean City Lofi (Collab with @GameAndWolve)

If you're not aware, I've been collaborating with another creator (@GameandWolve on Twitter) to have some music composed for my videos. If you're unfamiliar with this handsome fella, he's this guy. You may have seen him around:

Veronica Taylor & I

So Veronica Taylor (original voice of Ash Ketchum) and I have been chatting off and on for a few months and now and it’s looking like a collaborative fossil hunt is getting closer to reality.

Sneak Peek! Getting a little help from Daria, Raven & Zelda in my next video!

This is just a skeleton of the overall animation I'm working on for my next video. I also want to thank my friend, Rhyanne for voicing Zelda for me, as well as my Ai Daria voice. Also, believe it or not, I voice Raven! I can my voice quite raspy on it's own, and then I played with the audio settings in Vegas Pro.
