    And may I suggest (may I implore) that if you loved the story/visuals of @pixarcoco enough to purchase merch, then consider are also (instead) using your money to support actual Mexican/indigenous small businesses!

    Most ppl don't unwind by going to work on a Saturday but... I luv my job 😍 Today I led a team in excavating a set of articulated ribs + associated scapula, humerus, ankle & toe bones of a ~5 million year old gomphothere (extinct elephant relative) 🐘 #wearestemsquad
