My mild obsession with #Mastodons continues with drawings illustrating arguments about the creature’s nature: tusks up like the elephant (suggesting a herbivore) or tusks down imagining a carnivorous killer! #Romantodon #Victodon #Histodon

Re#Introduction with hashtags! I’m a #Romantodon pretending to be a #Victodon because I like all the #dinosaurs - I work on #Romantic writers like #Wollstonecraft, #Austen, and #Coleridge and also enjoy #Gothic fiction and #ChildrensLiterature - currently I’m working on taking #RomanticStudies from the #sublime to the #ridiculous, as a way of thinking about crises of #nature, #society, and #childhood as #collectives rather than individuals - I still mostly toot #CatPics #CatsOfMastodon

Peale’s self-portrait ‘The Artist in His Museum’ (1822) is an early precursor of putting a content warning on your toot, offering a cheeky glimpse of the #Mastodon skeleton behind the curtain #MastodonsOfMastodon #Romantodon #Victodon

Reading up on Peale’s exhumation of the #Mastodon (for #MastodonsOfMastodon / #Victodon / #Romantodon content) and here’s a beautiful skeletal drawing by his son:

@profchander well I have been looking for a ridiculous romantic elephant to celebrate arriving on Mastodon but all I’ve found is Charles Willson Peale’s Exhuming the First American Mastodon from 1806 #Romantodon
@degrootebrecht #Romantodon it is - though #Romantidon IS more euphonious - glad we're settling the important business from the off!
