A #FossilFriday request for history of palaeontology in Poland identification help! I'm trying to figure out who the palaeontologist in the below photo is. It was taken in Warsaw in the late-1960s, and the arms are (of course) the Deinocheirus arms found during the Polish-Mongolian expeditions

Morning.

#Hoppers shows such an ugly pseudo-ecological point of view, which creates the illusion of leftist danger and asks the meaningless question "yes, we should save animals, but WHY KILL PEOPLE FOR THIS???" Do not pretend that the anger of the animals is inadequate to what is happening.

Happy award season to @realgdt.bsky.social & the rest of the cast & crew of Frankenstein! I wanted to present some pieces I made of the incredible characters. They're made from kitbashing action figures! Thank you for inspiring me to create! #guillermodeltoro #actionfiguresphotography

Margrethe II is apparently a mad fan of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘰𝘳𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴. She became an official Tolkien artist and her illustrations were included in a 1977 Danish edition under the pseudonym Ingahild Grathmer. #art #LOTR #Tolkien #MiddleEarth

ok, guys, let's try this - I am taking #art #requests, sfw and nsfwm Check the pinned message to see themes and fandoms I sm most likely to do. I might draw a character I don't know if like design and idea, though. No promises, but I want interactions and I need ideas what to draw!

1/14/1893 — Queen Lili`uokalani, the last monarch of Hawaiian Islands, nullifies U.S. law and proclaims a pro-Hawaiian constitution. This act lead to her arrest and dethronement #womenshistory #WomenWhoRuled #gov #royals #PolSky #imperialism #Venezuela #Greenland #OTD

Americans, do not ignore Russian, Latin American, Belarusian and other users. We've been through this shit before; not exactly, but nevertheless. Don't be afraid of spoilers for politics; unlike Netflix shows, you can change the plot after them. The gerontocracy of dictators must die.

98% of the stuff I DL is either pure uncut smut or fandom inside jokes, so instead of a meme please enjoy Haruka's suaveness coming back to bite her on the ass.

Just sharing this Niels classic again:

#OTD in 1935, Amelia Earhart became the first person to fly solo across the Pacific Ocean. She took off from Honolulu, Hawaii, on January 11 and landed ~18 hours later in Oakland, California. Historic flight, overcoming many challenges and inspiring future aviators. #AviationHistory #aviation

"If you are a painter, then follow us up here; here there are subjects for you, here there is scenery for poetry" - Hans Christian Anderson (1805–1875) referring to the fishing village of Skagen on Denmark’s remotest northern tip in 1859. Nice article about Danish artist Anna Ancher (1859–1935)

They have too many contradictory conditions for women; it is impossible to meet them. This system is bad not by too high standards, but by deliberately unenforceable standards that simply amount to telling a woman to "shut your mouth and suck my dick". That's it.

I like that Soyuzmultfilm literally grew out of imitation of the Disney style and the slogan "We need our Soviet Mickey Mouse!". Yes, then this studio will form the image of a magnificent - and quite authentic - Soviet animation, but how damn funny it is.

"Time to say goodbye to my old self…to turn and face the truth…not to hide from it." I watched Revolutionary Girl Utena when I was wee and in the closet, and man, this helped spark the questions I needed to break free from the egg of my world. 6w6 <3 I'll always be thankful for Utena and Anthy. 🌹🥚🌹

Remembering the fearless, lionhearted #journalist Marie Colvin. She was born #OTD in 1956. She devoted--and gave--her life to the proposition that the truth of history demands witnesses. She was killed covering the siege of Homs in #Syria in 2012. theguardian.com/media/2012/f...#journalist#OTD#Syria#journalism

I just feel that "Marquis" and "Hedwig and the Angry Inch," which my husband and I watched on January 1, will be the best films of the year. It's hard for me to imagine that something more masterful could be shot. #MovieBlueSky #movie #film #FilmBlueSky

𝗦𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝘆! Journalist Claire Hollingworth called the British Embassy in Warsaw on Sept 1, 1939, to report Germany's invasion of Poland, marking the start of WWII. To convince officials she held the phone out a window so they could hear the German tanks. She died #OTD in 2017 at age 105.

#OTD in 1939, French physicist Marguerite Perey discovered the element francium. She was the the first woman to be elected to the French Académie des Sciences (1962). In 1911, the Académie turned down Perey's mentor, Marie Curie, for membership. #WomenInSTEM

I don't understand why the #mlp fendom thinks that #Fluttershy has big breasts. I mean, this is a typical stereotype of an awkward, skinny girl with negative secondary sexual characteristics. She's even visually thinner than the others.
