an animated bowl – the images on the bowl are an ibex. when turned by the hands, we see the ibex leap to bite the leaves, and the images merge from one to the other in succession as if the animal was animated. iran, 2600 b.c.

(Writing this at 10:30pm Eastern Time, 7:30pm Pacific) Largest earthquake recorded since Chile in 2010! There are tsunami warnings/advisories/watches throughout the Pacific; check your alerts - that's https://tsunami.gov/ if you are in the USA. Alaska and Hawaii are under tsunami warnings, with arrival times in Alaska over the next couple of hours, depending on location, and arrival times in Hawaii starting around 7pm Hawaiian time. A tsunami warning means move inland and to high ground, now.
The West Coast of the US, British Columbia, and southern Alaska are under an advisory; no significant inundation is predicted, but stay out of the water and off the beach.

You can find more detailed information about predicted arrival times and wave heights here:

fyi be aware of “sami” running the accounts sami--onley, alkhleliy-family, hard-export, there are probably other accounts, claiming their fundraiser is verified on the gazavetters list #21. they were already marked as ‘removed’ on the list for awhile. “sami” (obviously not their real name) is sharing an edited/fake version of the spreadsheet where the campaign is marked as approved, however recently that name and campaign has been flagged as a scam “after confirming (Forgery and identity impersonation) misuse of verification and the threatening messages to others”, as posted on the gazavetters spreadsheet. if you donated request your refund. absolutely despicable to take advantage of a genocide like this… all that money, over €32k, donated to that scammer could’ve been sent to actual palestinians in gaza in dire need, like the family they’ve been impersonating or a grassroots initiative on the ground. also it appears 90-ghost reblogged their fundraiser obviously unintentionally and without knowledge that it’s a scam and now “sami” is using that as proof of validity. please be aware and don’t boost the scammer’s posts. this is the official gazavetters spreadsheet as posted on their account.

I’ve been thinking about these graphics that depict the cambrian explosion as a LITERAL big bang explosion all day. They’re so fucking funny to me
