yes!! there was this sciency kid's program and they were talking about feathered dinosaurs!! and the fact that they can even determine some of the colours the feathers might've had!!!!!
YES OK GOOD FEATHERED DINOSAURS ARE MY MAIN RANT
because everybody thinks about them like they're scaly
but they think velociraptors could fly short distances, like turkey-sized murderchickens
also they probably flapped their wings for stability while EATING THEIR PREY ALIVE
thank you this has been a PSA
I'll do art-swaps and beta-reads, PM me!

Ok, I looked and couldn't find one, but I just wanted to check. Do we have an arts & crafts thread?
Or should I start one?

Koyamori. A longtime personal favourite. Just.... so whimsical... I could stare at their stuff for hours.... *sighs*

Aaaah Pascal Campion's work (especially the lighting in his speedpaints) is amazing.

And I also love Koyamori's work so much. I've been eyeing her zines (and stickers and other things) for a while but there's too many and they're all so good...

Parkour is moving through an environment in the most efficient or exciting manner possible, and often includes such things as climbing up buildings and other structures, doing different kinds of flips and jumps, and other acrobatic feats in unusual places. People who are good at parkour can do some rather impressive things.

hahhaha wow I was so bitter and frustrated this weekend, I hope I didn't accidentally take it out on someone here, I didn't mean to and I'm sorry if I did^^" 

I did manage to send a mail to study guide about possibly going on an exhange, after procrastinating all weekend, though!

I found a version of the Oregon Trail game online for free! I don't know about anyone else, but this game took up a large chunk of my childhood, and it was really fun to play (even if everyone ended up dying from cholera). I've been thinking of playing a game and taking screenshots so we can have something kinda like the Hunger Games simulator, would anyone be interested in joining the party? (there are only five slots, so there won't be many people per game). This thing probably isn't nearly as enjoyable to anyone who never played it as a kid, but I have a fondness for the pixelated graphics ^-^
