The note inside a bullet.

B-17 bomber is riddled with German anti-aircraft fire but miraculously survives. Later they discover the explosive shells were all inert; sabotaged by Nazi slaves working in armament factories.

Inside one empty shell is a written note: it's all we can do for you now.

The most important part of all this is that these small acts of bravery and noncompliance cannot be known as long as the enemy still stands, and might never be known. Just because it doesn’t seem like anyone is doing anything doesn’t mean it’s true. The best malicious compliance or subtle sabotage is the one that’s never detected, but makes ravages nonetheless.

A critical part of any resistance is

Do not post your crimes

Do not brag. Do not look for brownie points. Do not publicly recruit. Keep your mouth shut.

[1st-1]

A star created 1,800 years ago after the collision of two distant suns is set to appear in the night sky for the first time – as the light from the crash finally reaches the Earth. 

Scientists predict that for six months in 2022, stargazers will be able to witness the birth of the new star, by fixing their telescopes near the Pisces and Cygnus constellations. Dubbed the Boom Star, it has taken nearly two millennia for its light to reach earth — where it will be able to be seen by the naked eye. Astronomers expect the collision to increase the brightness of the pair ten thousand fold, making it one of the brightest stars in the heaven for a time. The explosion, known as a Red Nova, will then dissipate and the star will remain visible in our skies as a single bright, but duller, dot. 

You’re not going to want to miss this appear in our sky as it’s a once in a lifetime event!     More here and here and here

Steven: Just to warn you guys, uh- bad things can happen if I get too stressed, so if you see me breathing heavy or glowing pink could you remind me to take a breather?

Soos: Sure dood!

Soos:

Soos: Wait glowing pink-?

Stan: So that thing on your bellybutton is a diamond?

Steven: Yep

Stan: Have you ever considered selling it? You could make quite a bit for that sucker at a pawn shop

Steven: Well, one time whit- uh- someone tore it out of me and I could barely move and felt like I was dying. Also, my dad’s a millionaire, so I don’t think I’d need it.

Stan:

Stan: Oh.

Steven going through pictures on his phone: So there’s me and Connie on our first official date, those are the ex evil galactic dictators that are now my over bearing aunts, that’s Stevonnie when they roller skated for the first time (it was my first time too), oh! And that’s me Lapis, and Freckles (That’s the nickname we gave her) after we stopped Freckles and the other Lazuli from destroying a planet! Ah, good times!

Dipper:

Steven: Connie’s coming over!

Mabel: Oh cool! When’s she gonna ge-

Connie: *Bursts through a portal riding a pink lion* Steven!!

Everyone: ...what

Steven: *An alarm goes off on his phone* Oh, it’s my break, which means I gotta go.

Wendy: Where ya headed?

Steven: Oh, on Wednesdays I meet up with my friend in space.

Steven: Yeah! You know, you guys could come with me if you want

Dipper, Mabel and Wendy: *Cheers*

Steven: *Leads them all to lion* Make sure to hold your breath.

*They walk through and Steven pokes his head out*

Steven: I got a few guests, is that cool?

Lars: Yeah, bring them out

*They all come out*

Steven: Lars, Offcolors, meet Dipper, Mabel, and Wendy!

The three, looking out the window: Woah!!

Padparadscha: I predict Steven will return for the weekly meetings on schedule! *Gasps* And bring guests!

Steven: *Laughs* Sorry for the short notice, you guys

Lars: Eh, no sweat, but if I’d known sooner I would’ve at least made muffins for everyone!

*All the gems come to visit one day*

Jasper: So, uh, how are you doing, my diamond?

Steven: I’ve been good, and, I told you, you don’t have to call me that :)

Jasper: Pssh, whatever. *Goes to look around*

Dipper: Why does she call you that?

Steven: She sorta pledged her allegiance to me after I accidentally killed her *Goes to go talk with everyone else*

Dipper: Oh okay.

Dipper:

oh my god i didn’t realize this video had audio

[actualaster]

Okay as adorable as this looks, I’m pretty sure that’s a distress sound?  A “mommy help me I’m scared come save me!” sound?

@why-animals-do-the-thing

[why-animals-do-the-thing]

This video is from Dragonwood Wildlife Conservancy, and they are yearling (last year’s babies) Cuban crocodiles. Good news for you, this isn’t actually a distress call! According to @kaijutegu​ (and her giant bookshelf full of reptile resources), the laser sounds are an affiliative social call that young Cuban crocodiles use to communicate with their parents. They normally stop making the noise at around two years old, which is approximately when they start dispersing from the family group.

See, Cuban crocodiles are a super social species - and one of the few where the fathers stick around and provide paternal care for the babies! In the wild, babies would regularly interact with both parents, including when they provide food. This call is basically the type of vocalization that the babies use to communicated with their parents.

These crocodiles are being hand-raised as part of a private-sector breeding and reintroduction program (because the parents are so protective of their offspring that if you left them the babies to raise, you’d never be able to safely get close to them), and so they’re responding to the guy in the video the same way because he’s constant known safe individual and also the provider of food. He’s not a threat - his presence is a good thing, and he’s worth interacting with because it normally means food. You can also tell from their behavior and body language that they’re not stressed: some of the crocodiles are actively climbing on him and interaction of their own volition, but the ones that aren’t don’t show any indicators of hyper-vigilance. If that were a distress call, every crocodile that heard it would be alert and on edge looking for the threat. Distress calls tend to only happen once or twice, because in the wild continuing to make noise makes a baby more vulnerable: so these crocodiles wouldn’t be continually vocalizing if they felt threatened. There’s no snapping or gaping or freezing, all of which would be behavioral indicators of distress or discomfort. (Here’s a video of a baby nile crocodile being harassed by photographers which will give you a visual reference for both freezing and gaping.)

So, hey, this is certifiably cute - and good for conservation!
