Welcome to dragon.style, o surfer of the cyber waves.
I offer up my e-lair as a place for pleasing discussion, good humor, and considering the ever-delightful beauty of dragons. Also cat pictures. Cat pictures are nice too.
Please act like a civilized adult around here: Be Thou Excellent To One Another shall be the whole of the Law.

vinyl is better than CD because its capable of reproducing so much more sound than was even originally recorded in the studio
TFW you're settling in for a long #gameing session but your first match of the night goes so unbelievably well that you end up quitting afterwards because you know you can't possibly top that performance.
Making my li'l pitch over on twitter, no more tweeting for me today :'3
I wanna echo Sadiq's offer and say that I'm trained in conflict resolution and if you've got a heated fight going on and you want a mediator to help work through things, even if it ends in agreeing to never speak to each other; for the sake of the wider community please feel free to ask. Primarily offering this to admins but rly any conflict that's gonna pull in other people I would like to help settle in a way that leaves everyone happy and nobody harmed
My most recent piece is a reconstruction of a new tree-dwelling Triassic reptile named Avicranium. This is a new species of drepanosaur, a group with a bizarre set of adaptations for life in the trees. The paper describing Avicranium was just published yesterday here: http://rsos.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/4/10/170499
This art was commissioned by Adam Pritchard and Sterling Nesbitt, the paleontologists who described the fossil remains of this incredible little animal!
do me a favor, if you think Robespierre and Stalin are heroes to admire and emulate, please block me now and save me a lot of shouting
dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to witness the union of two souls.
these two -- Matt and Brenda -- have been lovers for five years now, and recently they have decided to wed each other and live in eternal marital bliss.
It has been a wild journey to get to this point.
Wicky wild wild.
Wicky wicky wild.
Wicky wild, wicky wicky wild WILD WILD WEST JIM WEST DESPERADO
We have lost many things, including the sense that the “us” and “them” doesn’t make sense. And that if “they” can lose rights so can “we.” Plus, does any of this make any of us more secure?
Same panelist said when claims are made about restrictions of privacy or freedoms being needed for sake of security, we need to ask to see the evidence it will increase security. That’s not often provided.
Attended an event today around the 75th anniversary of the internment of Japanese Canadians during WWII (at my institution, Uni of British Columbia). Panel was about law and exclusion.
A panelist said once you reach the point of talking about security vs rights (to privacy, freedom, etc), you’re usually talking about “our” security vs “their” rights. And at that point, you’ve already lost something important.
This struck me & am still reflecting on it. We are there. What all have we lost?
Oh, yay, Witches Dot Town is back. Praise @Alda!
IMO metrosexual should be redefined from "guys who get their eyebrows done" to "people who are only attracted to subterranean rail systems"
