Larissa Skellyton @larissakelly.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Back when I was in grad school there was a historiographical trend arguing that 19th-century caudillos weren't just charismatic strongmen, they had coherent political programs that followers supported out of rational self-interest, and I kind of wonder if that stance has lost ground in recent years 260

![Creature Concept: Jellyfish Dragon
Digital art of a small lizard-like dragon. Its wings form a circular shape around its body, and they are filled with rows of amber-colored air bladders. The dragon has blue scales, and a pair of horns that are forked at the ends. Its eyes are orange and gecko-like, and rows of brown seaweed-like tendrils hang from the skin on its throat. Its entire body has black freckles.
