Sarah Kendzior O 12h I've been suspended from BlueSky. I don't know why. I wasn't online much today, and the last things I posted were excerpts from my substack newsletter articles. The suspension followed without explanation. It seems there's a crackdown. If you enjoy my work and want to make sure you can access it, subscribe! It's free — I would never paywall in times of peril - and voluntary paying subscribers keep it going. It would be great to have your support at this time. Thanks!

After seeing the wolves, though, I wondered how many people would accept that what I had just seen was a resurrection. Romulus and Remus embodied a lot of breakthroughs. No one else, Colossal said, had ever made so many precision edits to an animal genome at once. Nobody had ever birthed a mammal that had ancient DNA in it. "This is the first time these genes have been expressed in over ten thousand years," Lamm pointed out. But to what extent were the pups dire wolves—as opposed to, say, gray wolves with some of the dire wolf's physical traits? Did they act like dire wolves? No effort had been made to try to identify genes for behavior. Did they think or smell or sound like the extinct animals?
