Here's the mask I made representing the Bean-nighe a spirit from Scottish folklore, also known as the "washerwoman," who washes the bloodstained clothes of those about to die. She is considered a harbinger of death, similar to a banshee, and is typically found by desolate streams, pools, or fords.

Whoa hold up - new fish species just dropped.
The Guayabero River Knifefish is newly discovered. They can swim backwards and forwards thanks to their weird ribbony bodies.
Oh, and this is its face.

AI is so dangerous, a tradesman doing our cesspit just came rushing to ask to use our house phone because there's an intruder in his daughters house and he's got no signal. He was so panicked. It turned out to be this AI tramp trick people are playing on their parents. He was terrified!

I always thought people who avoided the school playground "mum cliques" were being abit over the top, it can't be that bad, a bunch of women gossiping... Oh my God, it's insane, we've got as much drama as EastEnders going on and we're only at a tiny, country school... Humans 🙄

I've found myself at a very posh resort in Portugal, it's beautiful but I've run out of suncream, popped to buy another bottle... 40 pounds! What, I guess I'm sitting in the shade all day
