Welcome to the Fishtank

This is my main blog, but you may be more familiar either my art blog (cheshiregengar art) or my Matrix side blog (hovershiplogos), so if I'm following you back, it'll be from this blog.

David Cleary!

[aiteanngaelach-deactivated20241]

i'm in Ireland and the search for that bastards name is still blocked and hidden... the legnths the british go to defend and protect their instruments of colonialism and violence is beyond belief. no justice for the victims and yet every measure taken to protect David James Cleary and his fellow murderers.

Never a better time for the Streisand Effect than when it's a government covering up acts of brutality and evil.

[stele3]

if you complain about the Chinese government covering up Tianamen Square, then complain about this, too.

If you want to engage with fandom as a community but are overwhelmed by the writing of it all, my advice is to start small. Write a one paragraph ficlet/drabble and post it to tumblr. Describe a setting, or a bit of character inner monologue, or write a snapshot of a bigger scene in your head. This might seem like it's just "posting headcanons to tumblr" but if you take the time to look at your sentence structure, edit your word choices, fix typos, and make adjustments to make the writing more compelling or the characters more vivid, that is literally creative writing. Next time, make it two paragraphs. Maybe add a few lines of dialogue. Take a scene from canon and extend it for 500 words. Try to engage with or expand upon an emotion that you noticed in canon. I bet someone else is compelled by this idea too. You don't have to write a 100k fic to engage with other people in fandom. Short form is a valid form of writing practice and will build your muscle. Even if one person likes it or replies to it with their own thoughts, you've reached someone.

@theotherwhybietoldmeso omg I love your pics so much are you in Japan? That's really freaking cool

1. I sometimes go to Pinterest's montage creator and play around with my current fixations trying to make a background for my phone, this was the latest one, unused, but a little glimpse into where my mind is at lol

2. New mugs I got from the ice cream shop, since it's winter here they're having mug cakes topped with ice cream and you get to take the mug home, these are special too because after that my mom and I watched Masters of the Universe (really silly but so fun!)

3. So there's this place that has this xenomorph as a mascot and they dressed him up as a football player for the world cup 😆

4. Sunset sky at my friend's country home :)

5. Cappuccinos from our favorite gelato place, one for me and one for my hubby, we were dead tired that day and the coffee didn't help but their coffee is delicious

6. This puzzle took ages to finish it was so hard, got a whole new appreciation for impressionist paintings after it.

Thank you for tagging me in what looks like another fun one! Look at that elegant bugger and at how pretty and lush your garden is!! Bees must love your garden, because it looks like you've potentially got plenty of wildflowers there. 🥰 And how the hell did you literally find a biscuit brand called Neo??? I've never even heard of it before! I immediately had to save that one of yours to my phone LMAO.

Albee,my Jellycat bee, with some lavender on my windowsill (bees adore lavender).

The inside of the Library of Birmingham.

An Amorino Gelato cone I had in Birmingham on the same day number 2 was taken. My three flavours were chocolate, mango, and blueberry cheesecake, and the macaroon on top was tropical fruits-flavoured! 💖

Another piece of juliuspetri Matrix fanart, which I've debated making my phone lock screen's wallpaper at some point. 🤤❤️‍🔥

My Kinger plush in the field behind my work building yesterday afternoon. He was looking for insects. 👑 🪲

My Funko Soda Neo figure and my newest, and littlest, stuffed bee (her name's Mari, short for Marigold and pronounced the same way as 'Mary') sitting on the laptop at my work desk, in front of the wallpaper I had at the time of @elcochilo's Neo fanart! I keep intermittently changing my work computer wallpaper for a bit of maintained pizzazz. And my rare variant Funko Soda I've got was even also on the phone just like wallpaper Neo is! 💘

My turn for the tags! 😘

Oooh! Thanks for the tag @bluesakura007 6 faceless photos, that's pretty easy!

1. Black swan with 2 cygnets, we've been watching these guys carefully because they've lost cygnets previously, and it's really early for babies! But these guys have been going well so far, so fingers crossed they make it!

2. Fascinating tree I see on my walk to work in the morning.

3. Brush turkey that did not sppreciate me snapping it's photo.

4. Intense rainbow from my workplace window.

5. Kookaburra I saw on my morning walk to work.

6. Snaaaail!

Now, who shall I tag? @sadko101 @gallamy @s-h-a-s-e @mimille-chan @equistrum @cyanbyte and anyone else who wants to do this!

Keep Venezuela in your thoughts ❤️‍🩹

Venezuela was hit by two earthquakes yesterday, a 7.2 and a 7.5. Many parts of the country have been reduced to rubble, and areas of Caracas have been flattened. Their infrastructure has already been under immense strain. Here's how you can help:

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Season 5 Episode 06: “Trials and Tribble-ations”

This might genuinely be the most endearingly self-indulgent episode of television in history.

[a-book-dragon]

You don't have a male or female brain – the more brains scientists study, the weaker the evidence for sex differences

Rather than distinctly male or female, the human brain is much more like the heart, kidneys and lungs – basically the same no matter the sex of the body it's in.

rb to make a biological essentialist mad <3

[liminalweirdo]

“This collapse is a telltale sign of a problem known as publication bias. Small, early studies which found a significant sex difference were likelier to get published than research finding no male-female brain difference.”

[mckitterick]

the notes on this are toxic - to help clear up any misunderstanding, here’s the actual science paper:

Dump the “dimorphism”: Comprehensive synthesis of human brain studies reveals few male-female differences beyond size

With the explosion of neuroimaging, differences between male and female brains have been exhaustively analyzed. Here we synthesize three dec

in short: brains are brains

Putting this on my good news blog, because yeah, you know what?

Proof that sexism, transphobia, and bioessentialism are biologically incorrect is absolutely a reason for hope - for society and for the world

Overlock Stitch by @clothes_reetzy

[thatisuseful]

Damn, that's useful

[fluidstatick]

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!
