reblog and put in the tags what one tv show, book series, and video game you’d choose to have with you if you were to be stuck in a room alone with no internet for a year.

SIGOURNEY WEAVER | ODDA Magazine

As I’ve gotten older I’ve begun to be dimly aware of just how much crap certain people must have endured silently.

She’s the one I realized that about 10 seconds ago.

when a fucking ad you can’t skip is 30 seconds long I understand why people stay amish

Gather round children, and I will tell you of the time when there were three channels that didn’t start and stop, but just played (until 1 a.m. or so when they’d play the Star-Spangled Banner and go to static until the farm report at 5:30). And the commercial breaks were multiple minutes long and all three channels would show the commercials at the same time so switching didn’t do you any good, and you had to stand up and physically walk to the box (I shit you not) to change channels anyway so you’d just let it play. And if there was something you wanted to watch you had to be there ready at the exact second, and if you missed it or had to go to the bathroom or someone walked in front that was it; there was no recourse. It’s like you just phase-shifted into an alternate reality where Gilligan didn’t get the antidote (though actually it was the Professor figuring out that it wasn’t the deadly wasp but a different, similar species that was completely benign but you never knew that), and you had to wait a full week to see if he was okay, which of course he was but because it was pure episodic with no narrative throughline, just a flat circle that ended each week back at its starting point, there was no mention of it AT ALL in-world and you were just like well, guess I’ll have to headcanon something to explain it except we didn’t even have THAT, the you of 1968 would have had no idea whatsoever about the concept of a headcanon it would have completely blown your mind so I mean there was just NOTHING, NOTHING you could do except wait for years, literally, and hope one day to catch it in reruns.

Or, yeah, just be Amish I guess.

Windy days create beautiful wavelets at Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada. A relatively rare phenomenon at Crystal Reservoir, these waves were caused by sustained 40-mile-per-hour winds with gusts up to 60 miles per hour.  Ash Meadows is home to the last remaining oasis in the Mojave desert and provides a vital water source and is home to ancient species of fish. This special place is home to 26 endemic species; both plants and animals found nowhere else in the world. Photo by Rod Colvin, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

This is a new edit of an old photo. I decided to try a black and white minimalist look for this image of Skogafoss, Iceland, from my visit there 4 years ago. The original was totally different – all soft and pastel!

What are the potato-looking things on the scraggly tree? @lies?

They look like galls. If you zoom in at least one has little round holes that look like emergence holes. Cynipid wasps make galls like this in oaks; do you know if that’s an oak tree? Identifying what insect (usually) or fungus (sometimes) induced a gall usually starts with identifying the plant involved, since most gall inducers specialize in one or a few related species of host plant.

Ron Russo’s Field Guide to Plant Galls of California and Other Western States is wonderful, as is Noah Charney and Charley Eiseman’s Tracks and Signs of Insects and Other Invertebrates. I highly recommend both!

Thanks for sharing this!
