what even?

I have no idea. This is where I keep things for future reference, or just because I think it's straight up cool. I'm too lazy to bother organizing things to different blogs, so everything goes here and I tag the shit out of it. Also sometimes I do art-ish stuff

Ok this is cute but this octopus is living in a brick… Stop polluting our oceans

[speculative-evolution]

This brick probably is just junk but it’s worth noting that sometimes “pollution” seen in footage like this isn’t actually garbage. There’s a lot of organizations that take old cars, ships, etc and strip all the paint and other harmful components and then place it in the bottom of the sea for new coral reefs to grow on. Besides that there will unfortunately always be pollution and I would rather it be a brick an octopus can make a home from than plastic bags that sea creatures will die from eating.

Artificial reefs are pretty cool!

They’re often used to provide habitats for corals, fish, and other marine life where the natural ocean floor has been eroded or disturbed by human use. They can be purpose-made like those reef balls up there, or they can be made out of recycled objects like cinderblocks.

While not all human-made materials are safe for reef use (tires used to be a popular choice, but then it was discovered that not only do they not stay put, they tend to leech toxins), sometimes marine life doesn’t actually care- they adapt to what we put in the water. A good example of that is the Rigs-to-Reef program, which takes offshore oil platforms and decommissions them by turning them into artificial reefs. While oil platforms are in use, sea life congregates around them, so instead of abandoning these platforms or removing them, which would disrupt what has become the “new normal” for these animals, they’re toppled and coral grows on them. 

Anyways, I realize that I’ve totally derailed the awesome octopus and its teddy bear, but I just think that artificial reefs are neat!

The Most Romantic Garden in the World!

The Garden of Ninfa, Cisterna di Latina, Province of Latina, Italy,

The garden was created by Gelasio Caetani beginning in 1921, in the English garden style. Mr Caetani was the son of Lady Constance Adela (Ada) Bootle-Wilbraham and Onorato Caetani, Duke of Sermoneta. 

He restored some of the buildings of the medieval town of Ninfa, especially the tower and the town hall, as a summer residence. At the same time, under the guidance Lady Constance Adela Bootle-Wilbraham, who had already created a garden at Lake Fogliano, he began to plant different plant species that he brought home from his travels abroad. 

Restoration of the garden involved importing plant species from all over the world. The plants thrived due to the favourable climate: the microclimate is very humid because of frequent rains and the river Ninfa.

Decorative Armour Set by Bard Baitman

Personal work + research sketches ✦~✦~✦~✦ This is the portrait of a legendary mercenary and folk hero. Centuries ago, she was hired by a small town to end its subjugation to the local princeship. The prince’s yearly tournament included a grand cash prize for the winner, and along with the town’s pool of money - they intended to buy their independence from their inept and disinterested ruler. The whole town came together to assemble the warrior’s armour: the veteran smith created a simple armour set for her; the craftspeople decorated it with meaningful drawings in the local decorative style, telling the story of the townsfolk’s escalation from peace with the authorities, to the aggressive sentiments that lead to their quest for independence. ✦~✦~✦~✦

Um Indiana?

What the FUCK is going on?

[kdaziz]

Listen I don't have a very big reach and I am in Texas so I can't vote against this bill PLEASE signal boost this so people in Indiana can fight back against this!

The bill is stating ANYONE convicted of a protest-related charge (even if it is not related to actual lawbreaking like vandalism, looting or violence) will not only NOT get federal financial aid such as unemployment benefits but also will have to pay restitution to the law agency that arrested them on top of standard conviction/court fees

Indiana please vote, call, and write your local representatives to stop this from going through because the next step is a law agency attacking a peaceful protest for no reason other than anyone who defends themselves will have to pay them money

I cannot stress this enough help me boost this

[rhythmic-idealist]

Here’s my advice to everyone who thinks that the election will be so fraudulent that it won’t matter, who thinks 45 will not cede power, etc, etc:

Vote so that the history books know it was fraudulent. -

Vote so the contemporary world knows it’s fraudulent. -

Vote so that he is actually committing the crime, and not just attempting it but winding up not needing to. -

Vote not because you like Joe Biden (ew), but because the establishment as it stands will take low votes against 45 as approval. Vote to communicate the crime that is happening in the most severe degree. Vote so that if he pulls some bullshit, it has to be the most obviously illegal bullshit possible.

These are not just talking points. These are steps to make action against a fraudulent government, if it happens, easier. To make it possible. To make the public understand.

[the-floral-skeleton]

I can’t stress enough, the larger the margin between Biden’s votes and Trump’s votes, the less likely Trump will get away with whatever tomfoolery he tries to pull
