Comparative primatologist studying how great apes grow up | Harvard HEB krissabbi.com

A screenshot of an email, apparently from George Orwell, reminding me to submit a manuscript to a journal that is way out of my field (I am a primatologist and evolutionary anthropologist, this is a genetics joirnal that seems very eugenics coded) that we previously discussed (we did not previoulsy discuss this, obviously).
The image shows three Pokémon: Wurmple which is like a fuzzy caterpillar and the two forms that turn into Wurmple, Silcoon and Cascoon. Like the undescribed sea creature, both precursor Pokémon are roundish blobs with 6-7 hair-like spikes.
A beach at sunset. The camera faces west into the sun. Soft waves recede from the sand as the last rays of warm sun reach from behind a the cliffs into the clouds. The water is warm on my toes sinking into soft sand. It is so serene.
Three people in surgical masks and ponchos with a family of mountain gorillas in the background (but you can barely see them because they’re in the underbrush)
A woman in black sunglasses poses with her small black terrier mix. The pup is only six but he’s so gray he looks twelve. He’s wearing a color-blocked hoodie and looking into the distance like the super model that he is.
a young chimpanzee in the wild resting their elbow on a log looking playfully toward the camera
an infant chimpanzee in the wild climbing a thick vine and looking toward the camera
two infant chimpanzees playing in the branches of a fallen tree. One hangs just slightly above while the other tries to pull them down. The lower chimp is turned toward the camera making a play-face with an open mouth.
