A 70 Million-Year-Old Titanosaur Dinosaur Skeleton Found in France

A chance discovery made in southern France has revealed a rare specimen — an almost complete dinosaur skeleton found connected from its hind skull to its tail.

The massive fossil came to light in May 2022, after now 25-year-old amateur paleontologist Damien Boschetto and his dog stumbled across something unusual while walking in a forest in Montouliers, France. Boschetto had noticed a cliff edge that had recently collapsed and decided to take a closer look, when he spotted an exposed bone sticking out of the ground, local media outlet France Bleu first reported on February 13.

The Archaeological and Paleontological Cultural Association at the Cruzy Museum, in collaboration with the French National Center for Scientific Research, identified the nearly 10-meter-long (32.8-foot-long) fossil as a Titanosaur skeleton upon excavation. Boschetto, who has been a member of the association for eight years, said that while unearthing dinosaur remains is “always exciting and interesting for scientific research and the understanding of the ecosystems of that time,” finding the bones in their almost original anatomical position is what makes this find extraordinary.

“From a museography point of view, it will make it possible to present to the general public animals almost complete in anatomical positions, which is something great,” Boschetto added via email.

A group of history and archaeology enthusiasts created the Archaeological and Paleontological Cultural Association in 1975 to safeguard the heritage around the village of Cruzy, with several members becoming enlightened amateurs in paleontology due to the areas’ wealth of dinosaur fossils, said Jean-Marc Veyssières, a member of the group and one of the fossil preparers for this discovery. Today, the association is made up of inhabitants of the region, including a few scientists as well as students.

“The most exciting thing was to realize that we had at least one anatomically connected animal and that it was a titanosaur, a long-necked dinosaur,” said Veyssières in an email. “(Boschetto) is an enlightened enthusiast and curious about nature, he spends a lot of time surveying the region in search of new areas. … He became an expert on the Late Cretaceous fauna of our region.”

The association has been excavating the site, which Boschetto referred to as a bone bed, a term used by paleontologists to describe a dense area of animal bones and other fossilized remains, for the past two years. And the newly announced find was not Boschetto’s first.

The recently revealed 70% complete Titanosaur skeleton was retrieved during the excavation along with several fossils of various dinosaurs and other vertebrates, including some in anatomical connection and near complete. Other remains identified included those of a Rhabdodon — a herbivore, or plant-eater, like the Titanosaur — and fragments from skeletons of carnivores such as Theropods and crocodiles, according to Boschetto.

The Titanosaur skeleton currently resides in the Cruzy Museum’s laboratory, where it will be further studied, Veyssières said.

Titanosaur found intact

Researchers estimated the age of the newly discovered fossil to be around 70 to 72 million years old, but Titanosaurs roamed around on four legs from the Late Jurassic Epoch to the end of the Cretaceous Period, approximately 163.5 million to 66 million years ago. Titanosaurs belong to a larger group of dinosaurs known as sauropods, a family of long-necked herbivores that were some of the largest dinosaurs of their time, according to Britannica.

Remains of Titanosaur fossils are widely unearthed in Europe, but few are discovered in anatomical connection, Boschetto said. Finding a skeleton in this connected state suggests that the body was buried before it had entirely decomposed, leaving “some tissues connecting the bones to one another,” said Matthew Carrano, research geologist and curator of Dinosauria at the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History.

The completeness of the specimen will “make it easier to determine whether it’s a new species or a new specimen of a species that’s already known,” Carrano said in an email. “It will take time to learn all the details about this new specimen, but I’m sure it will provide important new information about this group of dinosaurs.”

The region in which Boschetto discovered the specimen is known to be rich in fossils of dinosaurs and other species living at the same time and is “building one of the largest collections of dinosaurs from the Upper Cretaceous in France,” he said. The association did not publicize the discovery until excavation was complete to protect the archaeological site, he added.

The association plans to continue research on the fossils and to further search the area, and the group’s members hope to obtain the funds to “create a large-scale museum that can accommodate and present these collections,” Boschetto said.

A/N: Hi all! This is my first time posting my writing. I apologies for poor grammar and spelling, my only excuse is daydreaming throughout school when I was was supposed to be learning this stuff. If you have any feedback or comments please let me know, I'd love to hear from you! Hope you enjoy ♡

Seated in the dim living room light with tea-steamed glasses, a certain chocolate-curled Brit scrolls aimlessly through job adverts until a particular post catches his attention

Full-time bookseller- The Old Town Bookshop

Taking a sip of his Earl Grey, Steven opens the listing, greeted with the classic rhetorical questions and enthusiasm only found in job adverts.

Love books? Are you a passionate reader who wishes to share your enthusiasm for literature with others? Come work at “The Old Town Bookshop”, where you can expand your literary knowledge and create a meaningful career with fellow book lovers!

“Living amongst books isn’t enough for you?” Marc quips from a small mirror placed deliberately on the desk's corner.

“I thought you cared about animals and the environment, and yet here you are, further supporting an industry that indoctrinates the destruction of their homes?” Jake nonchalantly adds from an adjacent mirror, oblivious to the surprised faces of his headmates.

Marc raises a brow, “Since when did you become an animal rights advocate?”

Jake shrugs, gaze subconsciously finding Viejita lazing on the lounge before returning back to Marc. “Dunno. Guess I actually pay attention when Steven puts on his nature documentaries”.

Marc mocks being insulted. “Oh I’m sorry, I just don’t find watching baby antelopes getting mauled to death entertaining”.

“Of course, you much rather maul people to death yourself”, Jake's voice mimics Marc’s, enticing a scoff from the latter.

“You’re one to talk Mr. I abuse wheelchairs and kidnap patients from psych wards and then murder them in the back of my fancy car”. 

Steven interrupts the dispute before it can get out of hand. 

“Bloody hell, Lads’ shut it! Look, if I’m being honest, I’m not gonna take animal ethics from either of you carnivores”, then adding, “And need I remind you two, you’re the reason we’re in this dire situation”.

It’s true, between Marc, Jake and Khonshu’s shenanigans, they’d managed to lose their only legal job, and unfortunately, being an ancient Egyptian deity’s ‘fist of vengeance’ doesn’t pay well.

Marc begins to grasp at any logic that means they don’t have to work amongst nerds, dead trees and dust. “Well… Jake and I aren’t avid readers, and the job description says we must be ‘passionate readers’”. 

“Well… I’d say with the number of ‘adult’ novels you read, you’d be classified as a passionate reader”. Steven states matter-of-factly, earning a snort from Jake and a finger from Marc.

“Look, capitalism exists, fish need feeding, and it’s either this, working at the laundromat on 6th, or grovelling for my old job back. You pick”.

Sharing a glance, they sigh, “Fine, we’ll work at your nerd hub”.

Triumphantly, Steven opens the application form.

-------------------- ⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆ ---------------------

A weathered sign inscribed with “The Old Town Bookshop” hangs atop the quaint corner store. Parallel white arches and a broad window decorate its petite structure with morning sunlight reflecting off the seemingly fresh coat of indigo, enriching the buildings' otherwise aged aesthetic.

Breathing out a puff of warm air, Steven adjusts the strap of his shoulder bag, a nervous habit he’d picked up over the years. Peering at the lit window, he opens the door. Greeted by the homely smell of paper and ink, Steven gazes around at the array of books and colours, marvelling at the unexpectedly large floor plan. 

"Like the Tardis". Marc hums from the window reflection whilst Jake observes their surroundings, habitually checking for threats.

Strolling further into the store, a warm pressure rubs itself along his calf. Peering down, Steven’s met with honey eyes and golden fur.

“¿Gatito?” Jake chirps, seemingly forgetting about surveying the area.

The cat meows in return as if replying to Jake’s comment. 

“Great, now we’ll be covered in dust and cat hair”. Marc comments, trying to remain apathetic about their adorable feline coworker.

Kneeing down, Steven scratches the tabby’s head, earning a delightful purr from their new acquaintance. Checking the collar, ‘Dorian’ is engraved on a fish-shaped name tag. 

Dorian huh? Makes sense, you’re a pretty lookin’ fella. Steven observes before returning to the task at hand. 

Following the familiar monotonous sound of a sticker gun, the Brit finds himself walking towards the counter where, surrounded by a pile of new releases, you are busy at work. The boys take in your features, entranced as the morning light caresses your face, highlighting the soft beauty that adorns your profile. Eyes roaming over your features, they notice your slight frown of concentration and inaudible movements of your mouth. 

As Steven approaches the counter, your words become interpretable.

“How are we already getting Christmas and holiday content when it hasn’t even been Halloween yet?” you grumble, condemning whoever decided it was a suitable practice. “I swear if I start hearing Mariah Carey, I’m gonna…”.

Someone clearing their throat interrupts your malicious thoughts. As your head shoots up, you notice the fidgeting man in front of the counter. Shit. How long has he been standing there?  You think, face heating up at the possibility of him witnessing your moral decadence.

“So sorry to bother you love. I’m here for my shift? I was supposed to start today… I’m Steven, by the way”.

The realisation smacks you in the face like a flying stop sign. Crap, it is already 8 o'clock? Internally criticising yourself for losing track of time, you scramble for an apology. “Right- yes, Steven, I’m so sorry, I didn’t realise the time”. Sticking out your hand, you introduce yourself. 

God, your name sounds as beautiful as you look, They simultaneously think.

A warm, calloused hand engulfs your own as Steven rolls your name over his tongue. “All good love happens to the best of us”.

You smile warmly, and suddenly, the prospect of spending 9 hours a day surrounded by nerds, dead trees and dust doesn't seem too bad.

Thank you for reading ♡

Also please go check out the fabulous @viejita-n-co who created Viejita! You’ll find a bunch of fanart and pictures of the boys too ♡

Nathaniel and Marc date night in the DC AU!

It’s a quiet, peaceful noon in Paris… Or it would be if Marinette weren’t behind the wheel of a sports car she managed to hotwire. Civilians jump out of the way as the car races through the streets, the howling laughter of the five villain kids making chills go down their spines

Juleka: Can’t this go any faster? She points to the two police cars tailing them

Marinette: Relax, kitty, I happen to be an excellent driver. She drives through three red lights and nearly runs over a crossing guard Fuck! I missed! Alix, light my fireworks cannon, would ya? It’s under my seat.

Alix: FUCK YEAH! She grabs a handheld cannon and lights the wick. In a few seconds the firework shoots out of the cannon and hurdles for the police cars. Before they veer out of the way, the firework is suddenly stopped mid-air in a floating sphere of water Fun’s over.

Rose looks in the rear view mirror and sees the Hero class after them

Rose: Ugh! We didn’t get to rob the jewelry store yet! She summons several vines that spurt from the ground and grab hold of Aurore and Mireille. A few try to ensnare Simon, but he manages to outrun them and get them tangled

Jean: Serit rieht nettalf!

When the purple aura of Jean’s magic encases the tires of the sports car, they quickly flatten and the car stops in the middle of the road

Marinette: FUCK! Do you know how hard it was to make Juleka sneak into that rich dick’s mansion, then mess up the security system and then let us in?! She pulls out a tank of laughing gas and sprays it toward the heroes

Reshma rapidly flaps her wings to fans the laughing gas away, and Lacey, in the form of an octopus is thrown by Denise at Marinette

Marinette: Trying to pry Lacey off of her face GET THIS CTHULU MOTHERFUCKER OFF OF ME!

Ismael zaps the vines with his laser eyes while Denise fends off against Alix, blocking her scratches with their bracelets. Juleka repeatedly avoids Zoé’s bird-a-rangs.

Noticing Ismael coming up behind her about to use his ice breath, Juleka leaps into the air, and Ismael ends up freezing Mireille instead from the neck-down.

Ismael: Sorry, ‘Reille!

Mireille: Shivering I-I’m good. I’m good.

Aurore summons a geyser of water from a fire hydrant and morphs it into an arm to fight Rose’s carnivorous plants. When the water arm doesn’t seem to have an effect, Cosette electrifies the water and the plants are soon incapacitated

Meanwhile, Marc and Simon are getting civilians to safety, however, Marc finds himself unexpectedly trapped in Nathaniel’s massive fist. Unable to free himself, he resorts to a different tactic

Marc: Nathaniel, let me go, or else!

Nathaniel: Smirks Or else, what?

Marc: Or else, I’m canceling date night!

This declaration catches everyone listening off-guard. The villains and heroes even pause mid-fight

Marinette: With Lacey still on her face Wait, what’s happening?

Nathaniel’s eyes widen in alarm at Marc’s threat, and in not time, he releases the Tamaranean, not wanting to risk a nice evening with his boyfriend. He even gives Marc the puppy eyes for good measure

Marc: Aaw. He kisses him on the cheek Okay, I won’t cancel our date. You’re lucky you’re so cute.

Ismael: Wait… You two are dating?! Since when?!

Later that day

Lacey: You’re absolutely sure you want to go on a date with Nathaniel?

Marc: Brushing his hair It’s not like this is the first time we’ve gone out. Now you all just know about it.

Ismael: Yeah, but… It’s Nathaniel, you know… A VILLAIN!

Marc: I’m aware he’s a villain, Ismael. Puts on his boots

Zoé: Yeah, a villain who can crush a sixteen-wheeler with his bare hands.

Cosette: And makes Godzilla look like a whiny little bitch.

Ismael: And who made me have to twist and bend twenty lampposts in order to make handcuffs big enough for him

Jean: And… Oh, shoot, what’s one?… Gimme a minute.

Denise: Leave him alone, guys. Nathaniel obviously loves Marc, and Marc loves him. And there is nothing we can do about it.

Marc: Thank you, Denise.

Denise: Yeah, and if Nathaniel breaks his heart, I’ll break his titan-sized kneecaps.

Marc: … Thank you?

Reshma: … Alright, I’ll ask him. Do you have any industrial-sized pepper spray? Scarab wants to know before you leave.

Meanwhile

Marinette: So, what’s the plan? Make him feel all loved and vulnerable, and then POW! She shoots one of her ‘POW!’ guns That’s when you ambush him! One less crazy-strong alien for us to deal with!

Nathaniel: No, there’s not gonna be any ambushing.

Kim: Ah, I see. There “isn’t” gonna be an ambush.

Nathaniel: There definitely isn’t.

Nino: I hear you, bro. Wink.

Lila: You clever bitch.

Nathaniel: I’m not gonna ambush my boyfriend.

Chloé: But here’s a hero! It’s what we do!

Nathaniel: If it were any of his other classmates, then yes, I’d gladly ambush them, but not Marc. Also, one of you is gonna have to fight him during our weekly battles.

Adrien: We can’t fight him! He has laser eyes!

Juleka: Are you asking us to choose death?

Ivan: We can’t all be immortal like Denise is, I assume.

Max: We need your freakishly strong hands to hold him and Ismael hostage!

Nathaniel: And that comment earns you a time out. Picks Max up and holds him captive in his fist

Max: Muffled I’ve gotta learn to shut my mouth.

18 and 20 for Romano AND for Marc!!

YAAY OC ASK thank you!!

Ooh these two YEEPIEE :3

Romano

18. What is your OC's greatest fear?

Oh, Romano, my boy. His greatest fear would be losing his closest and dearest people (well... beasts?) in his life. For example, Septhis, Marc, and Luna and that would literally destroy him or just mess him up a lot if something happened to them. Since all of them have been through a lot and they know each other's deepest secrets that they can't share with just anyone, not even with their parents THEREFORE knowing all that, it's Romano's greatest fear of losing someone.

20. What hobbies does your OC have?

Romano has these hobbies since he was a kid but wasn't really allowed to do them, he likes to write little poems about anything really. Like, he sees a bird and if he's inspired, he will write about that. Also drawing! Well, more like sketching things he sees in nature. But he was more into drawing when he was younger, now when he's an adult, he prefers writing, and would get inspired by some events in his life. And when he has the time for it because he rarely gets any rest (is overworking himself). But also reading some books when he has the time for it (when does he have the time 🥲)

Marc

18. What is your OC's greatest fear?

Very similar to Romano's but also something else. Yes, losing his closest and dearest people (idk how he could handle losing Sephtis), BUT also, he's very scared of accidentally hurting Sephtis or losing control at some point. There's a whole lore about that since it has to do with carnivores and herbivores, BUT for Marc there was one specific event in his life and that made him REALLY think about the fact that he's a wolf who is in love with a deer and that so many carnivores can snap if their instincts are triggered. So, that's one of his greatest fears, to accidentally hurt Sephtis. He'd never forgive himself that.

20. What hobbies does your OC have?

Marc doesn't really have a hobby, he always just worked for Sephtis' family and him (when he was little he would come over with his father and help him out and that's how he started really working for Sephtis). HOWEVER he wanted to learn playing piano. He got interested in that because Sephtis plays the piano. But also, he likes cooking and helping out in the garden, taking care of the flowers there, it was something he was doing with his mother when he was little as well. But he was also practicing with guns, studying about that and physical attacks without weapons. So he liked getting stronger for Sephtis EHEH

Ask game

[santinos-grenade-launcher]

There we go, yall got a little bit about how Sephtis and Marc act ^ ^

I picked that specific scene bc this was just a start, and I honestly just want to see if anyone is interested in them, so yeah, I gotta start slow with my oc's.

I know it's not the best but just a glimpse into their relationship after Sephtis' father died.

And the dark humor in this universe is literally when a carnivore and a herbivore who are in a relationship or are really good friends joke "You're the only one that could kill and eat me" YOU KNOW something like that! Think about it if we lived in that society, it would be kinda funny and dark at the same time ^ ^

Review of drama:

Good action scenes and good whump. No aftercare for those who were looking for it. Very realistic whump and clear exhaustion is seen in the behavior of the characters in the later episodes when they have been going through the tomb for hours. I like the character development for Ma Da Dan, who also got the ending he deserved, after all the trials of the tomb. Luckily, I was able to post this exactly one year after the previous one. I apologize to anyone who was waiting for it, though seeing the amount of interaction on the previous one, not many people were. I will start working on the third season soon, for those looking for it. If I missed anything, please feel free to let me know and any requests for whump lists are welcome. Thanks for sticking through the show and my whump list. Stay tuned for the next ones!

🎄 CHRISTMAS TREE — what is your favorite holiday - [*stares at the Xmas tree* the System]

IN CHARACTER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONS. | Accepting

Shabbat is a holiday. Jake will defend this hill when he can. Steven concurs even. Rest. Disconnect. Doesn’t matter if they sleep through Saturday day more often than not and wake up a few hours before Havdalah. There’s still Friday night.

Marc counters with the whole saving others. Higher callings. Know how much trouble people get up to when they got the whole weekend in front of them?

Tonight is a rare night where Marc loses. Everyone’s invited for the occasion. Tess got tipped off by Jake a week before. If they do it even once, Jake rules they do it all the way.

Back when Steven and Jake began fronting again, Mission gamely doubled its expansive kitchen. Meat separated from dairy. A third kitchen for all the mixing Marc and Steven do when left to their own devices. Jake schlepped an eclectic plethora of dishes, utensils, and all the pans back and forth from the mikveh.

Homemade and store bought potluck smells waft through living walls. Roast chicken with potatoes and carrots is the centerpiece (light on the garlic for the vampires’ sake). Plenty of different mains, sides, and desserts for kosher, halal, carnivorous, vegan, vegetarian. Wine glasses are full, mocktails aplenty, blood bags disguised by lidded mugs and metal straws.

The study is shut, the doors are open wide. Mr. Kni.ght and Dr. Moon, Reese and Soldier, the vampire children’s living parents, Greer and William, 8-Ball, and Dr. Sterman and whoever passes through. Grimm himself got an invite. Llewyn with a load of fresh produce to go home with any leftovers. Neighbors.

Let all who are hungry, etc. etc.

If anyone rolls up for an emergency, they are ready for that too.

The host(s)’ mask is neatly folded at the bridge of their nose; if this was the Mission only, one would’ve considered removing it entirely. Regardless, their head is covered if not traditional. Tension is clenched fists, a tick in their jaw, deep breaths when they think nobody’s looking. Last minute checks.

“Tess.” Marc with the con, mutters in her ear. “Could you do candles?” Two gleaming silver candlesticks await with a Netilat Yadayim wash cup and bowl of water on the midnight blue table clothed, expansive dining room table that wasn’t there this morning. “We can skip Shalom Aleichem --” he trails off, leaving room for her to agree or push back in case she had some sort of feelings about songs. “I can do kiddush. Dr. Sterman can do hamotzi. Then we can eat. Yeah?”

Another hesitation, glancing in her eyes. “Thank you for being here...I.” Glove rubs back of neck. “This is good. I think.”

If it goes well, they can do it again. Sometime. Maybe wear Marc down into a monthly ritual.

DuPont School for Monstrous Youths- Headcanons

Here are some fun facts about the kids from the Monster Universe! As always, @imsparky2002 and @artzychic27! If you guys want to follow up with some of your own, I’d love that! Enjoy these little tidbits! Leave thoughts in the comments and reblogs!

The effects of Alix’s stone gaze varies based on her mood at the time and whether or not she did it on purpose. The time frame can vary anywhere from around half an hour to a full week, so watch yourself with this Gorgon!

She has eighteen snakes in all, named as follows: Corkscrew, Iggy, JuJu, Flicks, Nyssa, Twister, Fitz, Ripper, Duke, Marty, Dodger, Jazz, Kit, Babs, Turbo, Rambo, Glimmer, and Bastard (or Bas).

Ondine needs to douse her gills with water every twenty minutes or so, or else her skin will dry out. Her friends usually have spare bottles with them in case she forgets to bring her own.

Simon is frequently getting hit by things he didn’t see coming. In a literal and physical sense. Cyclopes have terrible peripheral vision.

Kim hates vegetables and anything sweet due to werewolves being carnivores. You will only find steak in this boy’s lunchbox!

His friends all keep treats and toys on hand to distract him when needed. His favorite toy is a squeaky bone that is rarely not kept in his backpack.

Ivan and Denise have a habit of engaging in random wrestling matches no matter the time of day. They could be sitting at lunch and one will grab the other in a headlock. Their friends and partners have accepted this as a Sasquatch/Yeti thing, and it’s not like anyone can stop them.

They also have a hype-up ritual of sorts that they perform when in competitive or battle-adjacent situations, consisting of punching each other in the stomach as hard as possible, letting out a loud scream/roar in each other’s faces, before finally violently cracking their heads together. It’s…frightening.

Waving any kind of fabric in Cosette’s face will enrage them and cause her to charge. Playing matador may seem like a funny idea at the time, but it’ll end with your ribs broken.

Aurore’s alien species can learn languages and read people’s minds and feelings by touching their foreheads. So if she asks for permission to do this, that’s why!

Mireille can contort and flatten her body to fit into the smallest and strangest spaces possible, and they often use this skill to find somewhere to hide when they need time to unwind.

Nathaniel is as heavy as being made of solid stone would suggest, only Ivan and Denise are capable of lifting him. For this reason, he never goes swimming.

The war between vampires and werewolves ended centuries ago with a peace treaty, but Juleka and Kim often pretend to be rivals, trading playful insults and mock-snarling at each other. (They’re actually good friends.)

Vampires have a special kind of industrial sunscreen that allows them to walk in daylight, so don’t worry about Juleka and Luka. They still don’t show up in photos though!

Marc is attracted to bright lights and can often stare at them for hours on end. Nathaniel often gives him lanterns, lamps and other light fixtures as gifts.

Nino’s charges last around a month before he needs to plug in again, and it takes a full day, so he has a pass from class and his friends take notes for him on those days.

Jean never sings opera because when phantoms do this, it makes people go completely mad. He suspects it has something to do with a certain ancestor.

Alya can only pick up solid, non-ghost objects if she’s focusing on doing so. The second she loses concentration, it phases right through her body.

Mylene’s vines have to be trimmed regularly due to growing very rapidly and in great numbers, and people are frequently tripping over them.

FUCKING FLOWERS GROUP EXHIBITION

May 13 - June 10, 2023 • Opening reception May 13th, artist will be present.

 Fucking Flowers takes the art historical trope of still-life genre painting to new extremes. Featuring a bouquet of 10+ artists including Elizabeth Alexander, Marc Dennis, Andrew Jensdotter, Daisy Patton, Nina Tichava, Angel Ricardo Ricardo Rios, and Francisco Souto, the exhibition spans materials and styles with an array of mixed media art that ranges from the representational to the conceptual. This brazen, fun, spring-with-an-edge show is the antidote to a burly winter.

 For thousands of years, flowers have been potent symbols in the visual and literary arts carrying coded meanings.  Whether representing different gradations of love, purity, fecundity, spirituality, or decay, flowers show up at life’s most poignant occasions (births, weddings, deaths).  They infiltrate fashion and décor and can be noxious or curative, fragrant or carnivorous.  Inevitably, flowers begin by seducing us with their beauty.  Fucking Flowers aims to do the same – seducing viewers with astonishing aesthetics into having more nuanced conversations about the nature of beauty, metaphor, exoticism, social justice, and human behavior.

Funny reveal scenario: they turn it into a game.

So post-sentitwins becoming human/freed from amoks + no identities ever being revealed so far, Marinette perfected her anti-akuma charms and started distributing them to very temporary miraculous user. Realizing that keeping all of the miraculous in one place is too risky in case Hawkmoth finds out her identity, Marinette basically gives out all the miraculous to their users permanently.

Cue emotional reve between Adrien and Marinette with love confessions, fireworks, tears, yadda yadda you know the drill.

Onto the fun stuff: the other miraculous users are told that they all go to the same school or are related to people who go there and they basically make a scavenger hunt where the winner is the one who knows the most identities.

Cue side effect shenanigans:

Nino realizing that Adrien purrs. Alya noticing that Marinette is eating a shit ton more meat. Zoe and Chloe having a sudden taste for nectar. Juleka suddenly becomjg one of the most athletic students in the entire school. Juleka noticing her brother's new habit of swelling food whole. Kim and Nathaniel having competitions to see who's the best climber. The entire squad needing to DIY their hair products because it's all turning to furs and feathers. Kagami witnessing how Felix's wardrobe slowly becomes a rainbow. Nino, Kagami, Juleka, and Luka suddenly having a deep love of water and swimming. Have of the class going vegetarian or mostly carnivorous.

Just everybody doing the spiderman meme whenever the figure each other out.

All I can imagine is the extensive research and gaslighting that would go on

Nino looking real hard at Alya winning a game of tag by pouncing on someone with a hands first nosedive. Alya saying that’s just what it’s like having little sisters. Nino, who only has a little brother, can neither confirm nor deny, and Chloe refuses to give him a straight answer

Adrien in the middle of an article about peacock behavior when Felix enters the room wearing a mix of bright blues, purples, and pinks. He begins to suspect Felix has a crush on Luka

Chloe and Zoe clocking eachother immediately after catching eachother in the kitchen at 3 am to sneak in their bug food. They both maintain the stance that its perfectly normal to eat nectar, and actually it does wonders for the skin. Frankly, Kim, it’s rude you even asked

Max getting caught be Alix and Kim when he becomes faster than them

Juleka catching Luka trying to eat an egg whole, shell and all. He swears up and down its boiled. She asks if its his. You see Luka, hognose snakes will sometimes-

Kagami tells people the scales that keep appearing on her skin are a genetic condition from her father’s side

Rose starts to snort when she laughs, but no one catches on

Marc catches Nathaniel trying to eat his pencil, which he says is normal artist behavior, which Marinette firmly denies

Marinette pointing out Rose’s new laugh, Marc’s new hair feathers (which he had tried to hide under his hoodie), and Zoe’s tendency to be drawn to light to stir up even more chaos

Zoonoses et environnement. Un exemple emblématique, la grippe

See on Scoop.it - EntomoNews

La grippe est avant tout une maladie du monde animal. Les virus Influenza, responsables de la grippe, touchent de très nombreuses espèces animales (oiseaux, porcs, chevaux, mammifères marins, canidés, félidés, petits carnivores, etc…). L’émergence d’un virus influenza du monde animal qui s’adapterait à l’humain reste un danger majeur d’épidémie et de pandémie, et il suffit de remonter de quelques années pour en trouver des exemples : en 2010 un nouveau virus de type H1N1 (Taux de létalité chez l’homme = 52%) est apparu dans la population humaine après un passage chez le porc, faisant craindre une pandémie sévère ; en 2003 l’apparition d’un virus aviaire de type H5N1 [1] a infecté quelques humains avec une létalité de plus de 50 %, heureusement sans transmission interhumaine directe mais cette éventualité reste redoutable.

  "L’histoire de la grippe recèle de nombreuses pandémies dévastatrices. La plus emblématique est celle de 1918-1919, dite de grippe espagnole (entre 40 et 80 millions de morts), mais on peut se rappeler également de la pandémie de grippe asiatique (1957, au moins un million de morts) ou de la pandémie de grippe de Hong-Kong (1968, 4 millions de morts). Le danger d’une possible transgression de la barrière d’espèce provient du haut niveau de mutations auquel sont soumis les virus influenza lors de la réplication virale, et du caractère segmenté de leurs génomes. Tous les dangers sont considérablement accrus dans les élevages industriels qui regroupent de milliers (voire des dizaines ou même des centaines de milliers dans certains élevages de volailles), induisant une considérable réplication virale lors d’une contagion dans l’élevage, et donc une forte probabilité d’apparition de variants dangereux et potentiellement transmissibles à l’humain (Figure 1). Depuis les années 80, nous bénéficions d’atouts majeurs dans la prévention des pandémies de grippe : la vaccination de masse, le développement de méthodes de diagnostic rapide, le développement d’antiviraux efficaces, et la mise en place de réseaux de surveillance au niveau mondial. Le danger d’une nouvelle pandémie grippale d’origine animale est malgré tout toujours bien présent.

  [1] Une étude publiée le 3 mai 2024 dans le New England Journal of Medicine (Uyeki, T. M. et al. N. Engl. J. Med. (2024)) a confirmé qu’un ouvrier laitier au Texas avait été contaminé par le virus grippal A type H5N1. Toutefois, les autorités américaines n’ont pas signalé un grand nombre de décès ou de cas graves chez l’homme ; ce qui laisse penser que le virus n’est pas encore devenu hautement transmissible ou mortel, selon Michael Worobey, biologiste de l’évolution à Tucson (Arizona, USA). Toutefois Gregory Gray (Épidémiologiste à Galveston, Texas, USA) affirme l’existence de rapports anecdotiques de nombreux autres cas chez l’homme. Jessica Leibler (Santé Environnementale, Boston, USA) soupçonne que l’exposition des travailleurs agricoles risque d’être déjà très élevée. Ce n’est pas un virus qui va disparaître de quelque manière que ce soit. D’autant plus que ces deux dernières années, la liste des animaux morts [de la grippe aviaire] est devenue impressionnante (ours polaires, manchots,notamment). Ce n’est plus une maladie ne touchant que la volaille et les oiseaux en général.
