A literary Iguanodon at the Earth Sciences Library. Do any other libraries have dinosaurs or other antediluvian creatures carved into the furniture?

New scam alert: contact via the website saying I’ve picked up a ‘backlink’ from a scam site and do I want them to point it out to me (presumably by dodgy link.) ignored the first but have now had several identical so definitely a phisher.

We need to save the Earth from humans and their greed and god complexes.

Ah yes, how about we worsen the light pollution exponentially and fuck up all organisms, ourselves included, even worse than they are. It's not like the millions of years of evolution made every living thing dependent on it being dark at night, at precise times of the year.
These people don't think.

This is Barrett. He keeps trying to howl along with his big sister Hazel. Personally finds the practice repulsive but refuses to be left out. 13/10 for both (TT: jennyrae23)

Then I'm looking forward to reading it sometime! ☺️
And don't I know about never-ending TBRs... 😭😅😆
I just started reading the last (third) book of the Emily Wilde series; the first two books were truly amazing, I especially loved how the author incorporated the real historical fairy lore ☺️

I understand that; there's just something special about physical books ☺️
Oh, the Faerie Hounds look super interesting, thank you for pointing them out to me! ☺️💜 Just by chance, have you read Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett? If not, I truly highly, HIGHLY recommend it! 😁☺️
