#Dwarfism

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Writing about Tod Browning which means writing about Tufei Filhela and Harry Earles et al. The term “little person” seems wrong to me; less(er) than (average sized) people is how it feels.

People shorter than average size, how do refer to yourself when it comes to stature?

Boosts appreciated!

@ascentale @inliuofjoan #BikeNite A5: The bicycle mechanic who did my Brompton's pedal-assist conversion is (also) a specialist in bicycles for persons with #dwarfism (e.g. #achondroplasia, #hypochondroplasia): junik-hpv.de/arbeitsbereiche/f (German page, but many pictures)

She uses quite some Brompton and Puky parts to build them, but I've also noticed a foldable fork with suspension on one of them which looks like being from a R+M Birdy. Also many high-end components from SON and Busch+Müller.

Introducing Patagopelta cristata paleonerdish.wordpress.com/202 by @Ferwen

Phylogenetic analysis recovered #Patagopelta within #Nodosaurinae, along with other mid-#Cretaceous nodosaurids from North America. These results support the proposal that South American #ankylosaurs may have migrated from North America during the Late Cretaceous. The small size of Patagopelta is linked to some event of #dwarfism as in the case of #Struthiosaurus from the #Haţeg Island.
