After years of observing these caddisfly larvae, French naturalist and artist, Hubert Duprat, wondered if the caddis flies would use any materials to build their cocoon. He introduced flakes of gold, pearls and opals to the caddis flies and they did in fact use them for their cocoons. They use their own silk as the glue to hold their pupal constructions together.

Went to the Aboriginal artifact exhibit in Chicago. And it’s interesting. How many blankets and masks and totem poles say ‘unknown source’, because every five seconds my mom would stop and point to something and say. “Pauline’s grandmother made that,” or, “That belongs to Mike’s family, I should call him” because. It’s all stolen

i need pepple to understand that in the first place leather has always been made from the byproducts of butchering animals for meat, otherwise the skin is just tossed and unused. there were some companies farming for leather for a while, particuarly alligator leather, but those were not the norm. peta did so much harm in their campaigns against leather as a concept (its not unethical. yoi get the skin when an animal dies. thats why most leather clothes in the usa are cow leather, bc thats the biggest meat animal here) that its almost impossible to buy anything "leather" that isnt made of plastic that it so fragile and shitty that the very Thread Holding It Together rips the fibers apart. it will last for maybe a year two if youre lucky, and wont biodegrade and was made out of something that isnt naturally occurring in the first place and is one of the biggest causes of pollution globally

"The Howling Howff is a support group run by werewolves, for werewolves: specifically, new, potentially emotionally (and physically) scarred werewolves. This book is a 101 on what it means to be a werewolf and how to navigate a sometimes confusing existence. Other ‘bitten’ werewolves who have reviewed this material have mentioned words like “tone deaf” and “drastically out of touch”, but we here at The Howling Howff understand denial and anger are an intrinsic part of their human side and we do not hold it against them – or you!" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If you like satirical folk horror and werewolves, then this is the book for you!

The book itself is 60 pages (including covers) and is currently available to pre-order once more in my Ko-fi shop - THE HOWLING HOWFF PRE-ORDER . I have to hit around 30 orders to be able to bulk buy, at which point it'll take around 2-2.5 weeks for the printer to sort (the covers have metallic ink inlaid :D) and then I'll happily ship them out!

My ko-fi shop also has a separate upgrade option for tracked shipping and I've shipped all over the world with little issue. You can purchase it here - TRACKED SHIPPING UPGRADE

You'll also find a bunch of other goodies in my shop like Art Cards, Prints, Patch and Stickers :) - OTHER GOODIES ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Any support is much appreciated! I'm currently working towards a second book which will be available as a Kickstarter project hopefully around June! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I'll be closing pre-orders on Monday 21st of April as I'll be putting the bulk order in :). Book sales will resume in 2-3 weeks time after the pre-orders are packed and shipped.} Huge thank you for everyone who purchased a copy so far! You've made the second re-print possible

It was cocky and overconfident to call the Titanic "unsinkable" but one thing that's overlooked is that she was genuinely really, unusually solid. She could float even with 4 compartments fully flooded, which even a lot of modern day ships can't do.

And it's not like they were wrong about her being solid! Olympic, her identical sister ship, survived being torpedoed and then running over the U-Boat that fired that torpedo. Those ships were solid.

It's very clear that absolutely no other ship in 1912 would have been able to survive that collision, and it's a testament to the quality of the ship that she didn't sink in a few minutes Empress of Ireland style. Part of what makes the Titanic such a tragic story is that it isn't a group of rich idiots locking themselves in a shoddy iron barrel to go 4km underwater. It was 2200 people, most of whom were poor immigrants, on a reliable ship on a commonly-made journey, and then something went horribly, unpredictably wrong.

The US Supreme Court is fundamentally illegitimate if they cannot read the plain text of the constitution and make rulings consistent with it. There is no legitimacy of that court that does not derive from the constitution itself, and therefore if they are unwilling to abide by it that legitimacy is forfeit.
