French marine biologist Jeanne Villepreux-Power invented the first glass aquarium for scientific study in 1832. Her sealed tanks (with aeration & water stability) enabled live observation of sea creatures, which was revolutionary in marine research. She was born #OTD in 1794. #WomenInSTEM
Sepia-toned 1861 photograph by André-Adolphe-Eugène Disdéri of Jeanne Villepreux-Power (1794–1871), pioneering French marine biologist and inventor of the glass aquarium. She stands in three-quarter profile facing left, leaning elegantly on a tall decorative pedestal vase adorned with flowers. She wears a formal Victorian gown with a fitted bodice of intricate black lace over dark fabric, long lace sleeves, and a voluminous hoop-skirted skirt. Her dark hair is styled in a low chignon, and she gazes thoughtfully to the side in a studio setting with a neutral backdrop.

🔴Going live now! I got a new plan for this thing! - Painting the 40k Unit entry. Probably more Shaan, maybe even starting the veterans. www.twitch.tv/cryocheese
The photo is part of the WIP updates of my 40k Unit entry into Golden Demon 2026. - In full, it depicts a vertical red-rock pillar base with a unit of four Raven Guard space marines perched on it as well as leaping off of it. Three of them are unnamed customized Vanguard Veterans and the leader of the squad is Aethon Shaan. The latter is mostly painted, but without the helmet. With a black feather coat, red fabric banners around his arms and some skulls painted in beige. The rest of the marines are black and the rock pillar is painted in red browns and beige tones.

Turns out the rapture was already supposed to have happened, but because Christians are so shitty to everyone else (often including their own children) God decided to cancel it. They fucked it up for themselves. They can either reload to a previous save or persist in the doomed world they created.

ICE are cowards and the reason they chose Airports to try to provoke us is because they know their victims will be disarmed. It's illegal to carry in an airport. They want to provoke us to violence in the most cowardly way possible. All so a pedophile can declare Martial Law.
