We're Just Having Sandwiches for Dinner, So You Won't Miss Anything: Identifying Identity Through a Critical Lens

Sounds legit

Mine is “Activating forms of oppression as performance: the phenomenology of tunglr.hell.”

El árbol más alto de Gales había sido dañado por una tormenta🌧⚡ y se suponía que debía ser cortado, pero el artista de motosierra Simón O' Rourke encontró una mejor solución para simbolizar el último intento del árbol de llegar al cielo.

¡Hermoso😍🌳!

Too true too often

Fam PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF THE DEAD GODS

please please please no reblogs of exotic looking animals (ocelots, savannah cats, wolfdogs ecetera) when it is obvious these half- to fully wild animals are living as pets in someones house.

I can't talk about this enough, there are so many idiots who think they can manage wild animals only to get frustrated with them at some point because they just ARE NO PETS, and in the end it's people who work for animal welfare (like me), animal shelters and zoos who have to take over these poor creatures when it becomes clear that the owner fucked up or straight up died or got injured.

I know they look pretty and adorable and just super cool. But please don't.

Holy crap! I always thought I had brown eyes, but tonight I have D20 eyes!

Power Move is stepping from the back of the elevator, past everyone else, and pushing that <||> button to let that last person on

Hm a lot of you don't seem to know the difference between a "power move" and just being mean for no reason

Tug on a single thread...

Take time to be amazed

This is truly incredible.

What the Hell? This is so cool! Wish my physics teacher had done cool stuff like this

So, our physics teacher has the strange idea of motivating his students by letting each of us present a physical phenomenal we find interesting to our classmates in a 5-minutes-presentation. And now I need something that is interesting for everyone - even people that usually don't care for physics -, but has interesting facts for someone who's interested in it, too (preferably with an easy experiment). You don't happen to have any ideas, do you?

First of all, your professor is awesome for taking the time to do this. Of the top of my mind, the best one I have is Chladni figures.

Basically take a flat metal plate, fix it at the center and spray some fine sand particles on it.

Using a violin bow, gently excite any edge of the plate to magically witness these beautiful normal mode patterns ( known as Chladni patterns/figures ) forming on the plate.

Also notice that by pinching the plate at different points, the pattern obtained changes.

There is a whole lot of physics that goes behind such a simple phenomenon and I dare say we understand it completely. There are lots of questions on these figures that we have no answer for!

Hope this helps with your presentation. Have a good one!

This caption will be long but important.

First of all, to remind (or tell) you who I am and where I’m from.

I am Ukrainian, and I lived in Ukraine, Odessa my whole life. Until early March or 2022 when I had to flee my home because of war.

Since then my life has been a whirlwind. To sum it all up briefly – me, my mother, my grandma who is 82, and our dog fled to Romania, moved multiple times traveling through the country with the help of the kindest locals, and after another month and making good good friends on the way who helped us on the level I'm still struggling to comprehend I was finally sure the situation for my family is stable.

The hospitality of Romanian people is also the reason for this post to have exactly this one art piece.

And because Romania is beautiful too.

Should I tell you I dreamt about seeing mountains? It came to life. But I hate the circumstances of this dream coming true. I can only wish to come back to Romanian Carpathians while not running from war.

Why “to come back” would you ask? Because after that month I moved further, but on my own. To France.

Yet worry not, I’m not alone here! (Though I’d still appreciate help from locals in terms of information and such. Please feel free to message me if you can spare a minute or two to talk about daily life 🙏)

What am I up to now? Looking for an on-site job in Paris as a game artist. Taking in freelance offers in the meantime (giving preference to commercial). If by chance you can help with my job search – you know what to do 🙌🏻 my DMs are open.

If you want to support me – my pa🌳on and other ways to help/donate are linked in bio. I have to warn I can’t promise any constant updates of my content though.

I of course want to thank the people who helped me through all the way♥️ Both with advice and donations they (you all, when you read this!) supported me immensely, literally keeping me going. You are the most amazing human beings, I’m grateful to you eternally, and I’m still astonished by how many you are.

I could have said much more, but for now it is what it is. Thank you for sparing a minute to read.

Small addition – I now have a life profile with pictures on Instagram – @joycetakespics. If you want, you can stop by and look at my yet-to-be magnificent collection of flower pics.

Another important part.

You might think I’ve come through a lot, but I'm in fact incredibly lucky compared to way too many other people in Ukraine.

⁉️What you can do to help not only me, but my people⁉️

First of all: Spread the information you see about war. Keep talking about it.

Both luckily and unfortunately we live at the times when awareness in social media is the greatest weapon, and the lack of it – even more so. It’s the part where you choose sides.

Secondly, donate.

There are hundreds of ways, destinations and options. Don’t ignore it if you have a coin to spare. There are reasons people ask for help, there always are.

If you won’t mind a hand at figuring out where to donate, I’ll try to share smaller Odessa volunteer accounts on insta stories (or twitter) when I can.

Would wait in long lines to ride this !

so anyway, here’s this surprisingly paleontologically current carousel deinonychus
