Life is brief, and death inevitable. Quod sumus, hoc eritis—what we are, so shall you be. Embrace each moment, for all things end.

Henry Fuseli’s 'The Nightmare' (1781) captures the unsettling experience of sleep paralysis, where a woman is trapped in a dream state, immobilised by an incubus on her chest and a haunting figure lurking in the shadows. This iconic work from the Romantic era delves into the dark recesses of the human mind, exploring themes of fear, anxiety, and the supernatural.
Does anyone experience sleep paralysis here?

Hi all, I'm going to re-introduce myself for everyone that is new here! I'm Moe, yesterday I was awarded my PhD officially and now am considered to be an expert on the human heart 🖤🫀

In true fashion of becoming Dr Moe yesterday, I will give you all a heart fact.

Did you know you can literally due from a broken heart? 💔
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, or "broken heart syndrome," is a condition triggered by extreme emotional or physical stress, such as the death of a loved one.
It mimics a heart attack, with symptoms like chest pain and shortness of breath, but unlike a typical heart attack, the coronary arteries aren't obstructed. Instead, a surge of stress hormones, particularly adrenaline, temporarily stuns the heart, causing the left ventricle to weaken and balloon out, impairing its ability to pump blood effectively. While usually reversible with treatment, broken heart syndrome can lead to serious complications or even death.

So yes - You can die of a broken heart 💔

In this delicate glass dome, the circle of life is beautifully encapsulated. Orange flowers and preserved roses symbolise the fleeting yet enduring beauty of nature. Butterflies, frozen in mid-flight, remind us of transformation and rebirth. Crystals add a touch of timeless elegance, connecting the past to the present.

Mesmerised by shrunken head artefacts.
A component to the ancient rituals of the Jivaroan people, indigenous to the Amazon rainforest region, primarily inhabiting parts of Ecuador and Peru 💀 Crafting these 'tsantsas' served as a form of spiritual protection and to showcase triumph against fallen enemies. It's a chilling yet captivating part of history.

Replica shrunken head, adorned with jewellery and bones.

Everybody's version of happy looks different 🖤🫀🥀💀

👁️ Mimicry 👁️ The world around us displays fascinating animal mimicry. Animal mimicry are defence mechanism traits maintained by natural selection for survival ✨ Batesian mimicry, where harmless species mimic the appearance of toxic/dangerous organisms to avoid being consumed, like the Altas moth that has formations on their wings that look like cobra heads. Müllerian mimicry, where multiple harmful species converge on similar warning signals, having evolved in symbiosis for the preservation of the species from predators, this is present in poison dart frogs. Aggressive mimicry sees predators or parasites adopting the guise of harmless creatures to lure unsuspecting prey, as seen in the angler fish and snapping turtle. Finally, automimicry, where animals mimic parts of their own body, like the raptor eyespots on wings, to confuse predators #naturalworld #survivaltactics #animalmimicry #defencemechanism #naturalselection #themoreyouknow #facts

We have prepared many unique displays for y'all that will be available this weekend at @distilleryroadmarket #makersmarket #handmade

The colour blue holds significance in the natural world as demonstrated by its conservation from natural selection. The colour blue is reported to play a role in many essential functions. Firstly, it serves as a tool for attraction and communication, as seen in flowers and fruits that use blue to attract pollinators. The colour blue can additionally provide camouflage, helping species blend into their surroundings or warn predators of their toxicity. Thermoregulation is another function of blue colouration, aiding organisms in managing their body temperatures. Mimicry and structural colouration also come into play with some organisms mimicking blue patterns for defense or utilising structural features to reflect blue light. The colour blue in nature contributes to diverse ecosystems, facilitating reproduction, protection, and survival strategies.
