Before enhancing photos on Twitter, my feed once focused entirely on London history. But always having an interest in old colour film, I made this edit of colour footage of the Fascists gatherings in the capital in 1939 under Oswald Mosely. It seems relevant to retweet it today. They never did go away.

Did you know? Dr. Eugenie Clark aka “The Shark Lady” was an ichthyologist or fish scientist. But more than that, she was a trailblazer for women in science, exploring oceans, founding @MoteMarineLab, and dispelling myths about sharks. Photo courtesy of Mote Marine Laboratory.

An emperor shrimp hitches a ride on a Spanish dancer during a Photo Ark shoot. Spanish dancers, named because their movement is reminiscent of flamenco dancers, are one of the largest sea slug species known to science, growing up to 15 inches in length.
