Charles Tunnicliffe (1901-1979)
Recently got back into crocheting and decided to make a textile craft alignment chart. Idk if anyone else will get this but it makes me giggle.
The Skeleton Army was a diffuse group, particularly in Southern England, that opposed and disrupted The Salvation Army's marches against alcohol in the late 19th century. Clashes between the two groups led to the deaths of several Salvationists and injuries to many others....
The "Skeletons" recognized each other by various insignia used to distinguish themselves. Skeletons used banners with skulls and crossbones; sometimes there were two coffins and a statement like, "Blood and Thunder" (mocking the Salvation Army's war cry "Blood and Fire") or the three Bs: "Beef", "Beer" and "Bacca" – again mocking the Salvation Army's three S's – "Soup", "Soap" and "Salvation". Banners also had pictures of monkeys, rats and the devil. Skeletons further published so-called "gazettes" considered libelous as well as obscene and blasphemous.
When you join the Skeleton war this October, know you're joining a proud history.

i am like 120% sure you've actually seen this snippet before but
I wasn’t originally going to post this because it’s mostly only of interest to Giant Bio Nerds, but turns out I managed to get video of a very big Daphnia eating a copepod in one big GLUMPH sound effect.
Happens at about 0:02 just to the north and west of the top end of the tube-looking thing, and then the Daphnia zips around for a bit with the copepod visibly in its belly.
(The green squirmy tube thing is a chironomid larvae that builds itself a little house out of filamentous algae for camouflage purposes.)
i deeply deeply regret picking an aeshnid dragonfly to illustrate for my nascent aquatic insect ID for harried elementary school teachers guide.
