Looked through the "Fictitious and Symbolic Creatures in Art" (1906) on Gutenberg and found some cute drawings.
When all you want to be in life is the "Heraldic Pelican in her piety" but you are "The Natural Pelican" :(

The problem with airports is that they are controlled by the totalitarian Air Traffic Control, which concentrates power over take off and landing into its own hands. We need to abolish ATC and horizontalize airports, such that every plane must call every other plane in the world to announce that it is landing. If two planes try to land on the same runway at the same time then they'll just have to land around each other, as making one of them wait would create an unjust hierarchy

GET A JOB. STOP TWEETING
that eduard habsburg guy is supremely annoying of course for trying to be cool and hip as a weeb tradcath (cashing in re: the fact that the name “habsburg” seems to have acquired meme status online) but he is annoying first and foremost because he’s a truly secondary… no, like, tertiary habsburg… you do NOT have the credentials to be acting like this…
his great grandfather was the second son of the seventh son of emperor leopold ii. last time a direct male ascendant of his was first in line for literally anything was in like, 1790 lmfao
