The Department of Awesome Automata seldom gets an opportunity to show off, but today they’re pulling out all the stops with this breathtaking Silver Swan automaton. Housed at the Bowes Museum in North East England, this exquisite 18th century clockwork bird was designed by designed and built by John Joseph Merlin along with London inventor James Cox.

The life-size swan automaton swims in a stream made of moving glass rods along with small silver fish. When it’s clockwork is wound up, a music box plays as the swan turns its head from side to side, preening her silver feathers, eventually spotting a fish in the water and then bending down to catch it.

In effort to preserve this extraordinary creation, the Silver Swan is only operated once each day. But we can watch it as many times as we like thanks to this video:

“Congratulations - you just made a conversation about salad and hamburgers about the struggle of childbirth.”

TBH Parentfriends, I’m probably tired of looking at pictures of your kid every other day, so I just hid you from my Newsfeed, because what’s important to you isn’t all that important to me. Sorry, not sorry, no one’s feelings got hurt.

But if you start mommyjacking my posts, I will 100% make you cry into your keyboard.

sometimes Pangur gets bored of her toys & starts screaming, so I open a door to Forbidden Territory. it makes her feel sneaky and glad

pangur-and-grim

I feel as she should open her mouth an speak prophecy. She is such a striking kitty. Like she is the type of cat I would expect to see at the side of elves.

pangur-and-grim

y’all are talking about this cat?

ploridafanthers

why is that cat so long? did it get caught in a taffy stretcher?

pangur-and-grim

compliments cause her to elongate…she’s growing too long, too powerful

i like the idea that finn would be really inspired by bodhi bc obviously there are some parallels there (although i also think the differences between them are super fascinating and get right at the heart of the message rogue one should have been focused on but that’s a whole different post)

but like…realistically the entire team would be lost to time, tbh. names forgotten, stories untold…no one will remember them and i feel like that’s a huge part of their sacrifice. they can only live on in the success they helped accomplish and nothing more
