Prehistoric 'Swimming' Reindeer Mammoth Tusk Carving, 'Ice Age Art Now' Exhibition, Cliffe Castle, Keighley, Yorkshire

Posed with their chins up, antlers tipped back, and legs outstretched, the reindeer appear to be swimming as they do when crossing lakes and rivers on migration. This made the best use of the tapering tip of the mammoth tusk. The wavy lines on the male's face may represent water.

When your husband is a demon who can bend space and time chances are pretty good you’ll be rescued from the executioner!

Shirt open for extra smexiness! Snackiness?

Enjoy another study on movement to loosen my hand and brain!

“It is not a question of movement conveying poetry, but of movement itself being poetic.”

If you’re not moving your body, seriously what the fuck are you doing? You were never made to be a cabbage on the sofa scrolling through your phone 2/47. Your energy needs to flow, it needs to move and this shouldn’t feel like a task, this should feel like a privilege, a priority, an honour. To be flexible, to be healthy, to be radiant….why would you ever want to deprive yourself, your body of energy flowing through you? Why would you ever want to be stagnant when you can be loose and free? All that trauma stored in your hips needs to be released, and working at your desk all day means you need to prioritise your movement and flow on a deeper level. This is not about looking a certain way, its about tapping into the divine feminine flow and allowing the energy to move through your body so you can show up as your most radiant version. Free your stagnant energy, prioritise movement, exercise, dance, and embrace bodily freedom over stagnation.

Much like monkeys swinging from branch to branch, some parrots can swing through the trees with the greatest of ease, scientists have learned. But these colorful birds grip the branches with an unusual appendage: their beaks. Rosy-faced lovebirds can use their adaptable beaks as a third limb that supports them even as they swing like gibbons and spider monkeys. In research published Tuesday in Royal Society Open Science, scientists describe how the parrots hung underneath a 3D-printed “branch” and moved along by using their beaks and hind legs in tandem to alternately grasp, swing like a pendulum, let go and reattach themselves a few inches farther along.
