That's actually a common misconception! A hanging chad is a type of lizard; a dangling participle is actually a species of fish.
A dangling participle is a kind of lizard.
Dipnoi, so... I'm a fish?
With... lungs?
That sounds bad, actually.
At least I'll probably die quite fast, right?
Oh? What's that? I could live to over 100? As a lungfish?

Fleshy the flesh man
Is a man made out of flesh
With a corn cob pipe and a regular nose
And two eyes made out of eyes
As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse. It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms
As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable. As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.
Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

That's just wholesome. Thanks!
You've been isekai'd into a fictional setting. Spin this wheel to find out which one.
My gender is NOT a good idea to be.
... you know what, I'll take it.
[If you're reading this, consider yourself tagged! ... should you so wish, of course]
Type "my gender is" on your phone and let your phone finish the sentence, then tag your moots to keep the chain going, I'll go first.
My gender is a little bit more intense than I thought I could have done
