One of two Halloween surprises I have for today! The other will premiere over at @daybreak-academy-fanfic because it's a Kingdom Hearts fic, but I hope you enjoy a little slice of Mighty No. 9 in the meantime!

Ah, the mundane days before everything changes and becomes wholly, infinitely worse :)))

arievaal & I are slowly working (very, very slowly) on an deep-sea-but-make-it-extraterrestrial webcomic with these two except all grown up. There will be trauma (duh), both before and after the submarine

The cryosphere (from the Greek κρύος kryos, "cold", "frost" or "ice" and σφαῖρα sphaira, "globe, ball") is an all-encompassing term for those portions of Earth's surface where water is in solid form, including sea ice, lake ice, river ice, snow cover, glaciers, ice caps, ice sheets, and frozen ground (which includes permafrost). Thus, there is a wide overlap with the hydrosphere.

Heads-Up! Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction

Heads-Up! Truth Is Stranger Than Fiction

“I’m telling you that we’re putting our kids onto a global school bus that will with 98% probability end in a deadly crash.” ~ Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Director Emeritus of Potsdam Institute I recently saw the movie ‘Don’t Look Up’ after avoiding it since its release and I must say, that movie mirrors the tragic state of our society to a T. When you see Dr. Randall Mindy (DiCaprio) finally…

Is that not where they found Captain America?

That island of vegetation arose from a communal “latrine” used by vicuñas, wild relatives of domesticated llamas and alpacas.

Where glaciers are receding In the Peruvian Andes, vicuñas are refurbishing barren landscapes with their nutrient-rich excrement:

As glacial retreat has increased, vicuñas have taken on an importance beyond their fine wool: their dung is speeding up soil and vegetation development on high alpine rocky substrate, a normally very slow phenomenon called primary succession. Kelsey Reider, a biologist studying Andean ecosystems at Florida International University, explained this phenomenon to GlacierHub. “In recently de-glaciated areas, one of the most striking features of the landscape is vicuña latrines. This landscape is made up of a jumble of rocks with few plants because succession is so slow there,” she said. “Dispersed in this landscape of rocks and ice there are these patches of vegetation that are really diverse, complex, and soft. You can’t miss them.”
