I wish more people outside of aspec circles would understand the importance of platonic relationships and that romantic love isn’t the only form of love you’re allowed to have. Like yeah I like talking to and about this person and I want to lay my head on their shoulder and talk about the things we enjoy for hours as a friend. I love them as a friend.

The automatic assumption that non-aspec people have about a platonic relationship being close clearly means they want something more is. So annoying? Like no fuck you I just think this person is really cool. Back off.

Avisaurus darwini here lived at the very end of the Cretaceous, about 66 million years ago, in what is now the Hell Creek fossil beds in Montana, USA.

It was a member of a diverse group of Mesozoic birds known as enantiornitheans, which retained claws on their wings and often still had toothed snouts instead of beaks – and being part of the avisaurid family it was also one of the larger known examples of these birds, similar in size to a modern hawk at around 60cm long (~2').

Although this species is only known from isolated foot bones, the remains have distinct enough anatomical features to show that Avisaurus had powerful gripping talons similar to those of modern hawks and owls, suggesting it had a similar lifestyle hunting small vertebrate prey in the ancient swampy Hell Creek ecosystem.

Yall if you have any info on this piece of art please let me know! I love it, was lucky enough to acquire from an estate sale several years back but I have zero info on where it was made, who made it, when it was produced, what’s it made of (I think clay but that isn’t very specific)

I really love this piece and would be grateful to know more about it. I assume it comes from China but tbh I have no idea and it might be from a different country. Even if it is Chinese, idk where in China this was crafted :( if you recognize this style of sculpture and know where it’s from and other info id love to hear about it!
