-The scientific name for the Skeledirge line is "Crocodylus Cantus" which roughly translates to, "Singer pebble-worm"

-There's an old Paldean myth of a powerful skeledirge who sings somber songs to lure in her victims. The myth states that when she dies, her soul turns into the songbird on its snout

-Skeledirge have over a hundred distinct vocalization, which can change in pitch and volume. These are used for communication (headcanon from @pokebiologist)

-Skeledirge are the most vocal reptilian pokemon

-They're often used for singing at morgues because their cries sound mournful but can help calm down the people listening to it

-A lot of myths and stereotypes show skeledirge being aggressive and evil, but skeledirge are actually gentle giants. It's very sympathetic, and takes care of weaker pokemon that need help. While the ones in the wild do sometimes hunt, they are mostly herbivores

-Later myths appearing in the 1800s shows of skeledirge guiding people to the afterlife

-The saying, "Spitting Fire," came from Skeledirge commanding the bird on its snout to attack (it literally spits its fire)

-Skeledirge are very popular for Dia de los Muertos celebrations, and a lot of the clothing they wear during that time was based on them

-Skeledirge are related to the Feraligatr and Krookodile line

-The 'birds' perched on their snouts are common symbols of innocence and beauty in Paldean artwork

-Skeledirge don't like eating their food raw, and will char their meals for consumption

-For trainers who worry about their Skeledirges (and their prevos) throat getting soar from singing, Lum berries are a good way to help them feel better

-Wild Skeledirge often bury their Fuecoco eggs in the sand to keep them warm. She'll then sit by there and only hunt in that area as a way of protecting them

-Skeledirges lifespan (including its prevos) is about 75-80 years. The longest living one was accorded to be over 120!

Slaves who escaped were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.

Jewish people who escaped the Nazis were breaking the law. Literally. Outright.

All this admin cares about is optics and PR making them sound untouchable and powerful but these little shits are NOT prepared to deal with the bombardment of being made infamous overnight.

As someone who’s reported alt-right harassment and rhetoric on various social media sites and been told “there’s nothing here that violates our TOS,” seeing what RPGnet is doing is a welcome breath of fresh air.

don't bring them, use cash (ideal)

don't bring them, get a lift with trusted friends (ideal)

leave your phone/cards with a trusted friend who will not be at the planned action, pick them up afterwards

leave your phone/cards in a secure locker at a bus or train station, pick them up afterwards

learn to read a paper map. it's not hard but it does take a little practice if you've never done it. they work by dividing an area into a grid, so e.g. if you know you're on Brook Street you can look it up in an index, see that it's on square G19, and find the part you need.

get a cheap watch!!! it really makes all the difference in the world to know you can keep track of time without being tied to a phone. even the most basic digital watches let you set timers and alarms

memorise two emergency contact numbers – a family member, friend, or support organisation who could pick you up or arrange support if you're detained, lost, hurt, etc.

carry enough cash to get you across town if you need it

The important thing about wool is that it continues to keep you warm even when it’s soaking wet.

Other natural fibers don’t do this. In fact, quite the opposite. Campers and boaters are usually familiar with the phrase, “cotton kills.” If you’re wet in cotton or linen, your clothes actually sap heat from your body.

If you sink in a lake in late October like I did today, staying warm is important. I was rescued long before I would’ve actually died, but cold makes your muscles seize up, which isn’t good if you have to swim to land.

Which brings me around to life jackets. If the water’s cold enough, you may only have five-ten minutes until your muscles seize (today I probably had 40-60, more than enough time to get to land if I hadn’t been picked up), and you’ll drown.

In a life jacket, even in extremely cold water, you can float semi-conscious for perhaps another 30 minutes or so before you actually freeze to death, which is usually when someone rescues you.

What’s more, you probably know that moving around on land warms you up. Jumping jacks, jogging in place, etc.

In water, moving actually makes you colder. You need to stay still curled up in a ball, which you can only do in a life jacket.

In wool AND life jacket, you’re warm, and your head’s above water, which is pretty much your only and entire goal.

Yep! A really simple “experiment” I learned as a kid and now use in my own courses is sticking your hand in ice water. Compare moving it around in the water to curling it up in a fist. The contrast is stark!

To increase your survival time in on cold water, you want to curl up! If you’re with others, you want to huddle!
