Day 2 of dinovember! Meet Beckwithia! I cannot find any facts about it for the life of me so i'm just gonna make some up:

Beckwithia was part of the alien mafia and have all decided to pursue their love for outer space, which is why we think it's extinct, but in reality, they're just vibing in the stars.

During my long and intimate acquaintance with Mr. Sherlock Holmes I had never heard him refer to his relations, and hardly ever to his own early life.

"The Illustrated Sherlock Holmes Treasury" - Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

[rorystormandthehurricanes]

(from left to right) Ernest Caldwell, Iris Caldwell, Alan "Rory Storm" Caldwell, and Violet "Vi" Caldwell.

" Throughout this period [after WWII] we can also get a sense of the kindness of this 'mild-mannered' man, as Ernie began to take notice of people's situations during his work. If he saw a home with no fire burning during the cold months he would later return to leave a bag of coal on the doorstep. He would often set out early for work, giving himself enough time to clean the windows free of charge for many who could not afford to pay. He would also give his time to a number of charities, and even sent crates of oranges to Russia when he heard that people were starving there.

(..) By [1944] it was also clear that young Alan had a bad speech impediment. At first, the family doctor tried to help Alan. He was then sent to have hypnosis therapy, but it failed to help him control his stammer. A stutter back in those days was not looked upon kindly, with those who stammered being classed as stupid. He also had a new hobby - fire. He would light fires on the bombed areas that he played on, then wait until the firemen arrived to put the fire out, fascinated as he watched them. Alan attended Broad Green Infants and Juniors school. He liked it, but struggled with his speech.

Although his stammer was rather severe, Alan would not let it hold him back. He loved playing out, was full of energy, and had turned into a practical joker, telling one teacher who asked him his name that it was 'Alan Cornflake' as it was easier for him to say than Caldwell. "

Dear Survivors, You Have a Choice Now.

There are so many factors of our early lives we are not accountable for and yet accountable for what our lives have been. No one chooses their parents or their neighborhoods. No one chooses their histories or their race. No one chooses their class or the culture. But every one of these things decide the foundation of a person's life: the fortunes that fool them into safety, the wars that draft them into soldiers, the neurosis to haunt the rest of their days. It would almost seem that some lives are crafted with more care than others, but humanity is a genre composed by the personhood of every author... and your pen will never run dry as long as you breathe!

Your story is not over.

There's still so much that you can't control, but you were BORN with that pen in your hand. It's an unalienable possession of unimaginable proportions! Until now, you've dragged your pen through a maze of abuse, ink seeping behind like a blood trail, mapping the few ways to safety in a network of uncertainty. The ink may be dry...but CHANGE comes by the formation of intention. Every slosh can be shaded into the larger picture. Every scratch can hatched into greater depth. Fill these lines with nuance, with the emotional hues your reflection deserves. You are more than a writer...

You are an ARTIST.

No, you know what petition needs to be started? One to get rid of ignorant bigots like you. Have you ever SEEN an Anomalocaris ever eat, let alone ATTACK a trilobite? No, you haven't. Because they DON'T EAT TRILOBITES. Do some fucking research before you say shit like this.

⚜️ splendidmarrella Follow

fyi if you get rid of anomalocarises from public spaces then you will quite literally starve. you know those dead soft-bodied organisms yall scavenge and eat? yeah anomalocaris is the one providing those for you. as a scavenger myself i have been personally impacted by loss of food due to unfair treatment of anomalocarises that have forced them to leave the shallows that i live in and let me tell you eating detritus and nothing else is literally awful. please think twice before you post something prejudiced like this.

Did anyone else happen to see @shalesifters poll on the landmasses (followed by the reblog of the mollusc)? I think that I was simply born in the wrong generation, that I should have been able to experience the joys of being a land-dweller. I may just have grown tired of being in the ocean every day; quite frankly I just want some sort of change or reform (especially considering the incredulous prices of jellyfish nowadays...)

The Artistic Legacy of Egon Schiele: Exploring His Landscapes

The Artistic Legacy of Egon Schiele: A Glimpse into His Landscapes Egon Schiele, the renowned Austrian Expressionist, is celebrated for his intense and provocative approach to art, but his career was tragically brief. He was only 28 years old when he succumbed to the flu pandemic of 1918, a premature end that has since contributed to his status as an emblem of the vibrant yet tumultuous Viennese…

This is for the people who didn’t party in their teens and twenties. For the people who didn’t have that “coming of age” movie experience with shenanigans and revelations. This is for the people who mostly keep to themselves. Who maybe prefer things to be quieter and gentler. This is for the people who don’t feel like they belong in a culture that values loud parties and flashing lights. I see you. And you are valid.
