scientists found a 98-million-year-old flat wasp preserved in cretaceous burmese amber and officially named it Gwesped piastrii because the amber’s orange tint reminded the researcher of mclaren orange.

anyway it is now a peer reviewed fact that oscar piastri has a truly timeless aura

Calling all the multilingual Band RPF writers! Have you ever wondered how English affects your writing?

Are you a multilingual writer who relies on fandom to improve their English? I want to hear your stories!

About the study:

This research is for a Master’s dissertation in Applied Multilingualism at the University of Galway. I am investigating how multilingual band RPF writers learn and improve their English through writing fanfiction. The goal of this research is to understand the impact of participatory culture of fandom has in your English writing.

Inclusion criteria:

I remember a time when everyone I loved hated me because I hated them. So what, so what, so fucking what. I remember a time when belly buttons were knee high When only shitting was dirty and everything else clean and beautiful. I can’t remember anything without a sadness so deep that it hardly becomes known to me. so deep that its tears leave me a spectator of my own STUPIDITY And so I go rambling on with a hey nonny nonny no no no

Sorry it took me so long to get to this, been a little unmotivated lately but I found some pics that have remotivated me!

Here are drawings of the floor plan of his Belgravia home, 24 Chapel Street (these are the photos I just found):

The Sgt. Pepper's release party photos are in his home so you can see a few there. Also he decorated with "antiques" which, totally in character for him first of all. But also we have to remember these are antiques of HIS time, not even ours. So it's like...hella old LMAO.

He lived in his parents home a long while, which was 197 Queens Drive, Liverpool. Here are some photos of that (obviously would've changed a bit bc this is somewhat updated):

These are images taken from Brian's flat in London, Whaddon House, Flat 15. I'm also going to throw in this link for you to check out bc I thought it was good. https://kenwoodlennon.blogspot.com/2012/12/whaddon-house-sw1-flat-15.html?m=1

Then finally, his holiday home Kingsley Hill in Sussex. I cannot find any interior images but I do have an image of the outside (and of the owner :) )
