Reasons sea otters are fascinating little creatures - a thread.
#WorldOtterDay

They 'raft' together in open waters to stay together as a group.
Read: HOLDING HANDS

When they sleep, otters wrap themselves in kelp to make sure they don't drift from the group.

The smallest marine mammals on earth are southern sea otters.

Sea otters groom constantly, fluffing their fur.

When fluffed up, the soft fibres trap air. This gives the otter buoyancy and insulation, preventing the cold water from reaching their skin.

Sea otters use rocks as tools to dislodge and break open prey, such as crabs, urchins and other invertebrates.

Unlike any other otter, sea otters even give birth in water!

We rest our case. Happy #WorldOtterDay!

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM

1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."

2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

A Night in Helltown Story #Thread

I was a freelance photographer, freelance portrait artist, freelance writer, and a professional gamer. Well, I was actually rolling in money, but still lived a private and secluded life, loved by many, friend to none, and it just had to be that way if I still wanted to cohabit

peacefully with others.
I was born with a curse, one that some call a ‘unique gift’. Where the normal human sense would pick up the strange smell of burning rubber and sulphur in unusual places, I could see the demon itself, yeah! I could see and hear angels, demons, and ghosts

The Cosmic Movement's penetration of Indian Freedom Struggle, Politics, Education & Religion.

This thread focuses on advanced threat perception from this group. Although this is a vast network covering many areas we concentrate here on key players driving it forward.

This guy is Max Theon original name Louis-Maximilian Bimstein. He founded the Cosmic Movement. As we will see each and every member of this network prefers to hide their original name, identity and history.

Many prominent people were involved with this Cosmic Movement as we will see. One of them was Tomáš Masaryk (who became the first President of Czechoslovakia) also the Princess of Rohan in Vienna and many others. However this group was actually a spin-off of the OTO.
