I love the things I find randomly on Bluesky. This is an excellent article on the categorisation and taxonomy of dragons (and other fantastical beings) from @typebarmagazine.bsky.social

Anything in 1200 is doing really well methinks!

This is utterly fascinating. I got stuck around 1300.

I was not supposed to plant seeds today. My cucumber seeds that my partner put in an adorable card so we could grow them together are not supposed to be planted until April. But my kitten knocked the card off the side and the packet of seeds fell in the cats' water bowl. So here we are.

A split screen: on the left is a crested Roman helmet in the foreground with a tunic of scale armour (lorica squamata) in the background. On the right is a close up of the tunic and the scales are practically indistinguishable from the scales of a pangolin (but there again we're on our third coffee).

We're marking World Pangolin Day by remembering that Roman soldiers would routinely dress as pangolins before going into battle.

Don't look now @bsfa.bsky.social members, but you only have a couple more hours to get voting for the shortlist in the BSFA Awards! There are some amazing works in the longlist - make sure you take a look before the chance slips by.
