Late night Lupita posting

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special
But I'm a creep

I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doin' here?

brother get this through your head

NOBODY can draw

we are literally

ALL

Detail from a pencil drawing of Anchiornis, a small feathered paravian dinosaur from late Jurassic China. It is mostly black and white with a red head crest and pins down a small lizard with one of its feet. The drawing is small and very intricate.

Anchiornis. Detail from a drawing from 2019.

A new paper by Kiat et al indicates that Anchiornis probably couldn't fly.

(But I still think it might have been capable of 'falling with style'.)

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.
