Its A Mess @artichan - Tumblr Blog

i am incredibly tired of my editing application crashing so take this as it is lol

And I’d be remiss if I didn’t stop by to mention that Creative Beast Studio’s Kickstarter for their next Beasts of the Mesozoic series is live: The Ceratopsians set has actually already made its initial goal and is onto stretches, and you can see why. The Triceratops is of course going to be the draw for the majority of the crowd (presented here as a juvenile one for sake of scale with the others it shares a mold with), but as with the raptors the designs and color schemes on the others are varied and attractive enough to make getting them all an appealing prospect. There’s still plenty of time left in the campaign, so if you’re interested, give ‘em a look and decide if you want to go in for them.

a bit about the rankings of angels

seraphim (singular: seraph): these are the angels closest to God, in charge of guarding His throne. they help to rule over heaven and maintain order. usually, they are depicted as beings of pure and radiant light or fire - though many do have a human form as well. seraphim are often known for their voices, be it for the gorgeous songs they sang or the terrifying holy screeches they unleashed. though these may be some of the most orderly and composed angels, they can also be some of the most emotional.

cherubim (singular: cherub): these angels are most often remembered for being the guardians of Eden. Now, however, they are said to be guardians of holy places on earth. they typically have many wings, eyes, faces, limbs etc., though, like seraphim, they may also have a more human form. cherubim are responsible for keeping harmony in heaven, and providing power to those in His kingdom. these angels are more likely to be peaceful and docile than confrontational, but of course there are exceptions.

thrones: usually depicted as beings of fire and many eyes, these angels are the ones who carry out God’s orders. they are most known for their inhuman forms, often described as being wheels. thrones are the bringers of justice in heaven, and, on earth, likely retain their strong moral compass. these angels are secretive and tend to keep to themselves and other thrones, so they have a lot of mystery surrounding them.

dominions: dominions were the leaders of the lower angels, offering advice and direction. they are very tied to heaven, and not likely to interact with humans. they are described as divinely beautiful, often with glowing skin, eyes, hair, or wings. their true forms tend to be more human-like than the angels above them in rank, and are usually remembered for their appealing appearance (to other angels, humans would of course be startled by them). these angels are thoughtful and determined, though friendly.

virtues: these angels are those who bring God’s grace to earth. though they do not interact directly with humans usually, they bring miracles and enlightenment to the world and its inhabitants. they are brilliant and powerful, though almost always benevolent and peaceful. virtues are angels of choice, and accredited with keeping earth moving forward and developing further. though they are naturally good and kind, virtues can be fierce fighters if necessary.

powers: these are the angels in charge of defending heaven from hell and providing balance in the universe. they are often depicted as warriors and soldiers of God, though they are usually on the defensive rather than offensive. powers are wise, and it is said that they are the keepers of history. they are immensely loyal to heaven, and some believe no power has ever fallen.

principalities: principalities are protectors of certain places, nations, cities, or groups of people on earth. they usually derive their physical characteristics and personality from the place/people they are watching over (for example, a principality of a lake may have blue or green tinted wings, wear pearls or water plants, and have a calm and peaceful personality). they also teach valuable lessons to those on earth, and are said to be the ones who inspire humans to create or invent.

archangels: these are the warriors and protectors of human life. they are the commanders in God’s armies, and the ones to relay his most important messages to humans. they are incredibly loyal to their cause in heaven, but also show empathy towards humans and fallen angels. they show a great deal of understanding towards others, and because of that can be persuaded to join a cause even if it goes against heaven - although this is rare. archangels tend to be very complex, but their dedication and ferocity is constant.

angels: common angels are the ones most concerned with humans. there are different types of these angels, such as messengers to humans and personal guardian angels. it is difficult to categorize these angels as a whole, as there are so many of them. they are highly diverse, and the most like humans in both personality, morality, and appearance.

fallen angels: these are angels who no longer serve heaven, and now reside on earth. typically it refers to angels who have sinned or rebelled and are then cast out of heaven by God, but there are other ways in which angels can become “fallen” as well. angels who desire free will, or fall in love with a human/humans can also be cast out. fallen angels can originate from any of the ranks above.

Doc Ock Fight Scene

hush-city

Things I love:

“ I’m jUST tAKing the wHOLe thing !”

The REVEAL

“My friends actually call me Liv.”

Every time she says “Peter”

The yoga ball

Miles using his spider-stick to cling onto the computer

“We don’t need the monitor.”

Miles jump-slipping through the closing door

Yeets the bagel at a science man

Bagel is an onomatopoeia

Miles noises

The spiderman mask emote as he says “Intense life-threatening pressure”

Just the all background music, all of it.

The forest aesthetic, the birds chirping, the snow physics

Doc being extra just rips an entire tree in half

Miles being clutch but still keeping the tension up

“Thwip!” “and release!”

Guitar kicks in, y’all immediately know what’s up

She’s beauty, she’s grace, she’ll punch a scientist in the face

The entire movie

elenorasweet

The tiny smile on Doc’s face when she realizes there is a third Spider and what that means, before she gets her ass kicked

The cute little shuffling as Gwen gets her feet in position on the branch

The whole fucking movie

The fact that Doc Ock was not in any of the trailers and so her reveal was a complete surprise. I actually squealed “OMG SHE’S DOC OCK!” in the theater.

DO YOU HEAR ME FUCKING SCREAMING

hackedhearts-deactivated2024111

Bro, it's like 4PM in São Paulo right now and all the smoke made it look like it's already night...city of ashes indeed.

hackedhearts-deactivated2024111

That's POLLUTION for you guys. It's what you get when people burn the Amazon rainforest to make farms.

hackedhearts-deactivated2024111

Ok so, the cloud of smoke over the city is from the burning of Amazon rainforest in Rondonia. Sao Paulo is 3300km (2052 miles) distant from Porto Velho. Athens is closer to London than Sao Paulo is to Porto Velho. Just to give you an idea of the damage they are doing to the forest right now, with the permission from the human trash president. Just so you guys from other countries have an idea of what's happening here in Brazil.

If you can reblog this to make people aware of the situation, I'll be really glad.

hackedhearts-deactivated2024111

Look they've been burning the forest it's been 15 days now and people have died already in the fires. So the least I hope that the media will actually pay attention to Rondônia and the forest now that's affect São Paulo. The media here in Brazil is trying to take the attention away from the fires saying that what covered SP today as fog because of a cold wave, but many people already said: it's not fog, it's smoke. And if you're shocked about São Paulo sky, this is Rondônia where they are burning the forest:

So yeah, they are destroying the biggest ecosystem that is the Amazon right now. And the world must know.

Because if we depend on the media, the death of the Amazon won't be televised.

10 Steps To Care For Your Hamster (long post!)

1. Do not keep them in pairs. Hamsters are loners - keeping them together often results in stress, fighting, injuries and death. They are very happy alone.

________________________________________________

2. Minimum cage size

dwarf hamsters: 30 x 20 x 20 inches (80x50x50cm);

bigger hamsters: 40 x 20 x 20 inches (100x50x50cm)!

NOT like this:

Living in cages like this for them is like a human living in an elevator - a lot too small and even dangerous!

For them it feels like this:

Behavior like this is a signal for stress because the cage is too small or that they need more bedding:

Better:

________________________________________________

3. Your hamster (always!) needs a hamster wheel - and it must be a lot bigger than you might think!

Hamster must be able to run with a completely straight back

on a closed surface

with a closed back wall!

NOT like this:

Results of those wheels are: spine problems, backache, stress, injuries!

Minimum wheel size for dwarf hamsters: 9-10 inches.

Minimum wheel size for bigger hamsters: 12 inches!

Better:

________________________________________________

4. Do not buy them plastic tubes (at all):

Those tubes are not suitable at all: Hamsters get stuck or suffocate in them easily.

________________________________________________

5. Your hamster needs enough bedding to dig and build tunnels.

NOT like this:

Better:

Your hamster will be extremely happy and dig around and build tunnels all day (night).

A study also found out that (golden) hamsters need up to 12-36 inches of bedding, so just do your best do give them the highest amount of bedding possible. :)

________________________________________________

6. The less plastic the better!

NOT like this:

Plastic gets swallowed, splinters, can injure or even kill your hamster.

Better:

________________________________________________

7. Hamsters ALWAYS need a sand bath.

Hamsters love rolling around in the sand, for them it’s like showering. How would you feel without a shower?

You can use those little baths as toilets, but you still need a bigger sand bath!

Better:

________________________________________________

8. Hamsters need a house with at least 2 or more chambers to store food, sleep etc. Also make sure that your hamster does have enough hiding places like coconuts, small houses, toilet rolls!

________________________________________________

9. Do use unperfumed toilet paper for nesting material, don’t use “hamster wool” -> it can tangle around a limb and seriously hurt and even kill your hamster!

NOT like this:

________________________________________________

10. Never ever ever put your hamster or any animal in a hamster ball.

They can’t get out, might suffocate or panic, might run against furniture and seriously injure themselves. The ventilation is terrible, your hamster can’t see/smell/hear enough or use any of their senses properly.

In some countries they even discuss about banning those by law!

Even if you think that “your hamster has fun in it” - please don’t use them!

_______________________________________________________

Please reblog and spread this information.

Pet stores often are very misinformed and sell terrible cages and have little to no idea how to keep a happy hamster - please be careful when trusting them. In the end they often just want to make money - and the hamsters suffer.

Please adopt, not buy hamsters - there are too many hamsters in this world that we need any more breeding.

Much like with bettas, there’s a lot of companies out there making a huge profit on habitats that are completely unsuitable for your pets, and counting on consumer ignorance.

Kindness to animals includes knowing exactly what your companion critters need, and what can hurt them or make them uncomfortable.

I honestly wish I’d known this years ago. I learned all of this years too late when I started studying animak management and immediately recognised all the horrible mistakes I’d made caring for all my past hamsters.

Just want everyone to know I went stupid crazy at 2:30 am and spent 15 whole minutes on this

dravidarasathi

Holy shit.... Never Again Action (the group who started #JewsAgainstICE) had an ICE detention truck drive through them while they were shutting down Wayne Detention Center in Rhode Island this evening (August 14th).

dravidarasathi

Like they were holding the line across the entry gate and refusing to let night shift guards in and a massive truck just, fucking, drove up to them then slowed as the protestors got up from where they were sitting, alarmed, then the truck accelerated into people.

dravidarasathi

It doesn't seem like there are any serious injuries. The people who were around the truck after it stopped accelerating into people were pepper sprayed.

dravidarasathi

EDIT: Wyatt ICE Detention Center, not Wayne

SOURCE: Never Again Action's twitter livestream of the action and the car attack

scottishwobbly

The truck was driven by an ICE guard.

As this information is publicly available, the law in the US does not consider this doxxing, which is why it was on twitter on the first place. Here's the guy.

corporatetwitteraccount

Its the same people. If you can stomach working for ICE its because you're a right-wing fascist. Same tactics, different day.

jewishcaz

Fun fact, y’all!! Jewish protesters have been surrounding and shutting down ICE detention centers for weeks now, and we’re getting absolutely NO media coverage. None. In the slightest. And by jewish protesters I mean THOUSANDS OF US HAVE BEEN PROTESTING FOR NIGHTS ON END AND OVER 250 HAVE BEEN ARRESTED AT THIS POINT AND WE ARE GETTING ZERO COVERAGE. This is probably the biggest protest movement in american jewish history and it’s getting no coverage. We got hit with a truck DRIVEN BY A DETENTION CENTER GUARD and pepper sprayed and many people ended up in the hospital - one man in his sixties has a broken leg and a potentially broken back because of it. PLEASE REBLOG THIS. THOUSANDS OF YOUR JEWISH SIBLINGS ARE TRYING TO SHUT DOWN THE CENTERS AND WE’RE GETTING ZERO COVERAGE. PLEASE PLEASE SPREAD THIS AROUND.
