slimav headcannons? 💞🧸
Anon babe this has been cooking all morning i hope you’re prepared
I feel like i should add like a timeline to this cause its kinda everywhere and im ignoring some of the canon stuff mav did between 86 and tgm, in my head he became a test pilot in like 2006? and thats basically the only thing he does so he can be with slider more and thats around the time ice stopped flying so also when slider became an airline pilot. idk when slider retired or if he even did yet but after mav flew the tgm mission he retired but he does still fly his p51 in airshows and if the navy needs him hes still a civilian test pilot
-They workout together and have a joint playlist (they share headphones idk how it works), mav wears little shorts and big shirts or tank tops and slider wears sweats and tank tops usually. They did matching outfits once and every time they looked at each other they started giggling so they never did it again (on purpose that is)
-mav loves being so small compared to slider, when they hug it makes him feel protected
-after goose died mav didnt really have anyone to talk to (this is before him and slider got together), he couldnt go to carole, he did go to ice a few times but slider became his person, mav grew a lot closer to both of them and they helped him a lot the first few weeks after he lost goose, they were friends for a year or more after this happened and eventually they got together
-mav buys slider flowers, tulips are his favourite
-Slider has a lifted truck (1979 ford f150, red with a white stripe on the side) and he has no running boards/step to fuck with mav (https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYAhdg7R/)
-slider has ever single bruce springsteen cd in his truck, he keeps them all in a cd book because some of them are signed and he doesnt wanna keep the signed ones in the truck (there's also not enough room to keep ALL the cds in there in their individual cases)
-slider wanted to be an a10 pilot. He was best friends with ice growing up and decided to give up his dream of joining the air force so he could be with ice in the navy, he never told ice this, ice knew slider would've preferred the air force and wanted to be a pilot but he didn't know it was his dream. Mav is one of the few people slider shared this with
-slider leaves the navy once ice stops flying and he becomes an airline pilot, he doesnt work a whole lot so he can spend more time with mav but he loves being an airline pilot
-they got married on a beach in hawaii, at first they didnt know if they wanted to get married (and before 2011 they couldnt), slider had the ring for a year before finally deciding to propose to mav in early 2013 and they got married on valentines day in 2014. it was a small wedding and they both wore all white suits. this is the vibe of the reception: (https://www.instagram.com/p/CoVjzuUg9y-/?igshid=MDM4ZDc5MmU=)
-slider grows a mini mullet after leaving the navy, mav loves to play with his hair, its super soft and curly and he loves running his hands through it
-slider is the little spoon almost always, mav cuddles up to his back like a koala
-slider made fun of goose for wearing hawaiian shirts all the time but after leaving the navy he starts wearing them too (theyre not super vibrant and over the top, he wears a lot of muted or just pastel colours) and mav makes fun of him for it (he thinks its cute)
-slider calls mav babygirl and it makes mav blush SO HARD
-they have a HUGE bed, it was one thing they both agreed on when picking furniture for their house, they needed a big bed because sliders huge and mav sleeps like a starfish half the time
-theyre both morning people but mav is more of a morning person, slider likes to sleep in a little while mav makes him breakfast, after they eat they’ll sit on the deck in the backyard and drink their coffee
-slider took a bartending class and he makes fruity cocktails for mav, every time they go out mav gets a beer or a jack n coke because hes shy, he does love both of those but he also likes “girly drinks” on occasion. Sliders favourite drink is a margarita
-they love going on a hikes together, slider brings a bunch of snacks for mav because mav doesnt like carrying a bag
-idk where their house is but its in a medium sized town/small city? close to mavs hangar, its a medium sized house with a big yard and an in ground pool (that was the one thing slider wanted when they decided to buy a house together), the vibe of their house is similar to their wedding, a lot of colours and they have a lot of plants and flowers. its a two bedroom two bathroom house, the second floor is where the guest bedroom and bathroom are as well as a storage room, their bedroom and bathroom, kitchen and living room are all on the first floor. they have pictures everywhere and looking around their house you can tell exactly what kind of people they are and what they like, it feels like a home.
-slider comes to the hangar a lot and he’ll just hang out on the couch while mav does his thing, sometimes he helps out or works on his truck but he prefers to just watch mav
-slider picks mav up SO MUCH, he’ll throw him over his shoulder, carry him bridal style, give him a piggyback ride
-they build model planes together, they’re both loser plane nerds (so am i, im allowed to say that). Mav gets slider an a10 model for his birthday every year and watches him put it together. they keep their model planes all over the house, some of them are hanging from the ceiling too (slider hung them because mav almost fell off the ladder)
-they have so many little jokes with each other, when they’re out in public they’ll see something that relates to one of them and point it out to each other and they’ll both start laughing and get weird looks from everyone around them
-when slider becomes an airline pilot mav bakes him cookies to take with him, slider would hand them out to the crew on the plane and thats how he want from “big scary navy guy” to an absolute sweetheart, everyone loves him and compliment mavs baking
(im riled up about this rn so im adding my headcanons for their body types too)
when slider was in the navy he was bigger than most of the people there, he had a lot of muscle and not a lot of fat, when he left he did keep up his workout routine and he started eating better because he had more access to food, hes still mostly muscle now but he has a healthy layer of fat on him too.
When mav was younger his mom was a great cook, he loved to help her in the kitchen but after his dad died she just stopped, she barley ate, she did make stuff for mav but never let him help and she didnt make it with love like she would before, she wasnt happy. After she died and when mav was going from foster home to foster home he never had something stable, he had a weird relationship with food, it wasnt bad necessarily, he didnt not like eating, a lot of the time he had to make food for himself but it just wasnt as good as it could be. While in the navy he was average i guess? he had muscle but it wasnt super defined and he wasnt the biggest fan of cardio when he first joined so he did have a little fat. (while being a test pilot you have to be like better than in perfect shape but im ignoring that) he has more muscle than he did before but now that hes not flying in action as much he has more time to get back into cooking and he loves it, it feels like when he was cooking with his mom again and it has a lot to do with slider, slider loves him and he loves the food he makes, mav definitely has a little tummy now and slider loves how soft he is, theyre both still in great shape now, they love working out and being active (in many ways 👀)
also adding nsfw stuff under the cut
-Nsfw-
-mav usually bottoms but they do switch, mav loves watching slider get all worked up because of him, sliders so big and scary to most people and mav loves to take him apart and see slider begging for more underneath him (or on top👀)
-they both LOVE the size difference, it doesnt matter how long theyve been together the way slider towers over mav always gets them both so horny
-mav loves being praised, they both love soft, loving sex and just being sweet with each other, slider will take his time to kiss mavs entire body and mavs adores it
-BUT they love rough and fast sex just as much, mav can be such a brat and slider knows exactly how to put him in his place, he’ll pull his dog tags or his hair
-slider calls mav so many pet names, baby, babygirl, princess, sweetheart, and so on
-sliders dick is definitely long and distinguished (and thick), mavs is a little smaller than average but hes not insecure about it
-they’ve had threesomes with ice many times, ice and slider used to “help each other out” while they were at sea and when slider told mav that he asked if he could watch them sometime. The first time ice fucked slider while mav watched, the next time ice fucked mav and slider fucked mav after. One time for mavs birthday they both fucked him at the same time
-slider loves to feed mav, he gets him chocolate covered strawberries (mavs favourite) and he’ll feed them to mav while he rides him slowly. At their wedding they decided mav would feed slider cake because mav didnt know if he could be normal with slider feeding him cake, they did save a piece for later tho ;)
-mav loves wearing lingerie, he likes being feminized and this took it to a whole other level, slider loves it just as much if not more. The first time mav wore a set he was so shy and cute it made slider lose his mind
-They fucked on a beach during their honeymoon many times, the first time they only had a towel and they got sand everywhere, the next time they brought a blanket
-mav loves sliders hands, he loves when slider grabs his waist because his hands wrap all the way around him

Round Two: Bisticeratops vs Gobihadros
Bisticeratops froeseorum
Tumblr media
Artwork by sauriazoicillus, written by @zygodactylus
Name Meaning: Froese’s Dééł Náázíní Horned Face 
Time: 74 million years ago (Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous) 
Location: Farmington Member, Kirtland Formation, New Mexico, United States 
Bisticeratops is an early Chasmosaurine, known from a partial skull found in the Kirtland Formation. Yet another of a largely growing number of Chasmosaurine taxa from the Campanian of North America, it appeared to resemble Pentaceratops, but was more closely related to later ceratopsians known from the Kirtland formation, as well as one unnamed taxon from the Almond Formation in Wyoming. Interestingly, Bisticeratops shows signs of bite marks from tyrannosaurids, which apparently had begun to heal prior to death. However, we do not know which tyrannosaurid may have left these marks - while the Kirtland Formation is a well studied environment, the Farmington Member has never yielded dinosaurian fossils before now, taking place earlier than the more famous De-Na-Zin of the formation. Like other iterations, the Kirtland was a coastal plain along the western interior seaway, preserving a muddy and sandy environment that would have been filled with a variety of subtropical plants. It is presumable that other dinosaurs lived here besides Bisticeratops and a tyrannosaurid - hadrosaurs, ankylosaurs, pachycephalosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and dromaeosaurs would all have been possible members of this ecosystem based on the following and preceding ones from this formation.
Gobihadros mongoliensis
Tumblr media
Artwork by KookaburraSurvivor, written by @zygodactylus
Name Meaning: Hadrosaur from the Gobi of Mongolia 
Time: 90 to 86 million years ago (Turonian to Coniacian stages of the Late Cretaceous)
Location: Upper Beds, Bayan Shireh Formation, Bayshin Tsav, Baynshire, Char Teeg, Khongil Tsav, Khoorai Tsav, Mongolia 
Gobihadros is an early almost-hadrosaur from the Bayan Shireh Formation, one of the rare environments preserving the evolution of dinosaurs during the start of the Late Cretaceous epoch - essentially, when the charismatic dinosaurs of the Latest Cretaceous, such as hadrosaurs, first evolved. Multiple specimens are known from throughout the formation, making Gobihadros the best known early hadrosauroid from Asia. Adults reached sizes of about 7.5 meters long, and it had as many as three teeth per position within the lower jaw (this is high even for early hadrosaurs, more similar to those of later taxa, indicating convergent/parallel evolution). It also still retained the conical thumb claw of earlier ornithopods like Iguanodon. An older individual of the species showed signs of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, a condition of age causing restriction in the joints and pain during movement. Gobihadros lived in a semi-arid plain environment littered with lakes and rivers, with meandering bodies of water draining into the sea on the coast of China. Flowering plants were present in this environment, as well as a wide variety of animal life - sharks, Azhdarchids, turtles, and other dinosaurs like Alectrosaurus (probably), a troodontid, Erlikosaurus, Caenagnathoids, Garudimimus, Graciliceratops, a possible Carcharodontosaur (which would be a late surviving species), Talarurus, and potentially many more species waiting to be formally named.

Thriving in a variety of conditions, this plant is an excellent option for both beginners and experienced gardeners. Its unique appearance and adaptability make it a fascinating subject for cultivation. (Word Count: 70)
What is the Pig Face Plant?
The Pig Face Plant is a robust, ground-covering succulent known for its fleshy leaves and daisy-like flowers. Typically, it grows to a height of about 10-20 cm and can spread significantly wider. Originating from Australia, this plant is characterized by a fast growth rate and a long lifespan under ideal conditions.

Tumblr media
Growing Conditions for the Pig Face Plant
Light Requirements for the Pig Face Plant
The Pig Face Plant is a sun-loving succulent that thrives in full sunlight. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day to maintain its vibrant color and promote flowering. In regions with less intense sun, supplemental lighting such as grow lights can be beneficial, especially during the shorter days of winter. Conversely, in extremely hot climates, some afternoon shade can prevent leaf burn and excessive drying.
Soil Requirements for the Pig Face Plant
The ideal soil mix for the Pig Face Plant should be well-draining and sandy. A recommended soil mixture is:
50% potting soil
30% sand
20% perlite or pumice
This combination ensures adequate drainage and aeration, which are crucial for preventing root rot in succulent plants like the Pig Face Plant.
Temperature and Humidity Requirements for the Pig Face Plant
The Pig Face Plant prefers warm temperatures and can tolerate a range from 20°C to 30°C (68°F to 86°F). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected or brought indoors if temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F). In terms of humidity, this plant is quite adaptable but performs best in moderate to low humidity conditions. Excessive humidity can lead to fungal issues, so ensuring good air circulation is key. During cold months, if kept indoors, it may benefit from some humidity reduction.
General Care of the Pig Face Plant
Watering the Pig Face Plant
The Pig Face Plant, being a succulent, requires minimal watering. It's best to follow the "soak and dry" method, where the soil is allowed to dry out completely between waterings. During the growing season (spring and summer), water the plant thoroughly once the soil is dry to the touch. In winter, reduce watering to once a month or less, as the plant enters a dormant period. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's crucial to ensure good drainage.
Fertilizing the Pig Face Plant
Fertilization is not a major requirement for the Pig Face Plant, but it can benefit from occasional feeding. Use a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength, ideally during the growing season (spring and summer). Fertilizing once a month during this period is sufficient. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant.
Repotting the Pig Face Plant
Repotting should be done every two to three years or when the plant outgrows its current pot. Choose a container only slightly larger than the current one, as too much space can lead to excess soil moisture. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes. When repotting, handle the plant gently to avoid damaging the fleshy leaves and roots.
Pruning the Pig Face Plant
Pruning is not typically necessary for the health of the Pig Face Plant, but it can be done to maintain its shape or remove any damaged or diseased parts. Prune in the spring or early summer, using clean, sharp scissors or pruning shears. This will encourage healthier growth and can also help in controlling the spread of the plant if it becomes too extensive.
How to propagate Pig Face Plant?
Propagating the Pig Face Plant (Carpobrotus glaucescens) is relatively straightforward and can be successfully done using either cuttings or division. Here's a step-by-step guide for both methods:
Propagation by Cuttings
Selecting Cuttings: Choose healthy, mature stems for cuttings. Look for stems that are free of disease and pests. The best time to take cuttings is in the spring or early summer.
Preparing Cuttings: Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors to cut a piece of stem about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) long. Make sure each cutting has several leaf nodes (points where leaves are attached).
Drying Cuttings: Allow the cuttings to dry for a few days in a warm, dry place. This process, known as callousing, helps to prevent rot when the cuttings are planted.
Planting Cuttings: Fill a pot with a well-draining soil mix, ideally one formulated for succulents. Stick the cut end of the cutting into the soil. You can dip the cut end in rooting hormone before planting, although this is not essential for the Pig Face Plant.
Watering: Water lightly just to moisten the soil. Keep the soil slightly moist but not wet. Overwatering can cause the cuttings to rot.
Rooting and Growth: Place the pot in a warm, bright spot with indirect sunlight. Roots typically begin to form within a few weeks. Once the cuttings have established roots and show new growth, you can start treating them as mature plants.
Propagation by Division
Timing: The best time for division is in the spring or early summer.
Removing the Plant: Carefully take the Pig Face Plant out of its pot or dig it up from the garden, trying to keep the root ball intact.
Dividing the Plant: Gently separate the plant into smaller sections, making sure that each section has a good amount of roots attached.
Replanting: Plant each division in its own pot with well-draining soil, or back into the garden. Ensure the planting area has good drainage to prevent root rot.
Aftercare: Water the new plants lightly and place them in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid overwatering to allow the roots to establish.
Both methods of propagation are effective and can yield healthy new Pig Face Plants. Remember, patience is key, as it can take some time for new plants to establish and start growing vigorously.
Why is My Pig Face Plant Not Blooming?
There could be several reasons why your Pig Face Plant (Carpobrotus glaucescens) isn't flowering:
Insufficient Light: These plants need plenty of sunlight to bloom. Ensure your plant is getting at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Improper Watering: Both overwatering and underwatering can stress the plant and inhibit blooming. The soil should be allowed to dry out between waterings.
Nutrient Imbalance: Lack of nutrients or an imbalance can affect flowering. Use a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer to encourage blooms.
Age of the Plant: Young plants, or recently transplanted ones, may not bloom in their first year as they focus on establishing roots and growth.
Seasonal Factors: Pig Face Plants typically bloom in spring and summer. If it's outside this period, it may not be the right time for flowering.
Pruning: If the plant has been pruned too much or at the wrong time, it can affect its ability to flower.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Pig Face Plant, with its vibrant blooms and resilient nature, is an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. Remember, the key to a thriving Pig Face Plant lies in providing ample sunlight, well-draining soil, moderate watering, and occasional fertilization. Be mindful of the temperature and humidity levels, especially during colder months. Propagation through cuttings or division is straightforward, offering an easy way to expand your collection or share with fellow plant enthusiasts. With these simple care guidelines, your Pig Face Plant will not only survive but flourish, adding a touch of natural beauty to your garden or indoor space.

When the moon unites Muslims, Jews and Christians (Clarin/Argentina) These days you may find some of your neighbors savoring an Easter egg or a Matzah flatbread, or others eating nothing at all until past sunset. Three important festivities are coinciding right now for the first time in recent memory, and they involve the major monotheistic faiths that account for half of humanity. For the Catholics and Protestants it is Easter, which will culminate on Easter Sunday on April 9. For Jews like myself, Wednesday was the beginning of Passover, commemorating our liberation from slavery in Egypt and the birth of the Jewish nation. Muslims are two weeks into Ramadan, the sacred month in which the Qur’an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. It is generally very rare for the three faiths to see their holy dates coincide this way. We will have to wait some three decades for this coincidence to recur.
Pope at Easter: Pray for Ukrainian, Russian people, refugees (AP) In an Easter message highlighting hope, Pope Francis on Sunday invoked prayers for both the Ukrainian and Russian people, praised nations which welcome refugees and called on Israelis and Palestinians wracked by the latest surge in deadly violence to forge a “climate of trust.” Francis, along with dozens of prelates and tens of thousands of faithful, celebrated Easter Mass in a flower-adorned St. Peter’s Square, affirming the Christian belief that Jesus rose from the dead days after his crucifixion. The 86-year-old pontiff topped the celebration with a traditional speech about troubled places in the world. Encouraging “trust among individuals, peoples and nations,” Francis said Easter’s joy “illumines the darkness and gloom in which, all too often, our world finds itself enveloped.” “Help the beloved Ukrainian people on their journey towards peace, and shed the light of Easter upon the people of Russia,″ Francis implored God in his Easter speech, ”Comfort the wounded and all those who have lost loved ones because of the war, and grant that prisoners may return safe and sound to their families.” He urged the international community to work to end the war in Ukraine and “all conflict and bloodshed in the world, beginning with Syria, which still awaits peace.” Francis also prayed for those who lost loved ones in an earthquake that struck Syria and Turkey two months ago, claiming tens of thousands of lives.
E.P.A. Is Said to Propose Rules Meant to Drive Up Electric Car Sales Tenfold (NYT) The Biden administration is planning some of the most stringent auto pollution limits in the world, designed to ensure that all-electric cars make up as much as 67 percent of new passenger vehicles sold in the country by 2032, according to two people familiar with the matter. At the same time, the proposed regulation would pose a significant challenge for automakers. Nearly every major car company has already invested heavily in electric vehicles, but few have committed to the levels envisioned by the Biden administration. And many have faced supply chain problems that have held up production. Even manufacturers who are enthusiastic about electric models are unsure whether consumers will buy enough of them to make up the majority of new car sales within a decade. Rapidly speeding up the adoption of electric vehicles in the United States would require other significant changes, including the construction of millions of new electric vehicle charging stations, an overhaul of electric grids to accommodate the power needs of those chargers and securing supplies of minerals and other materials needed for batteries.
Thousands of doctors plan to walk off job again in England (AP) A four-day strike planned by tens of thousands of doctors in England next week could lead to the postponement of a quarter-million medical appointments, a National Health Service official said Saturday. Dr. Layla McCay, policy director at the NHS Confederation, said the impact is expected to be far greater than a three-day walkout last month by doctors early in their career that led to 175,000 appointments and procedures being postponed. The strike planned for Tuesday by so-called junior doctors would be the latest in a wave of disruptive labor actions by public sector workers demanding pay hikes to offset inflation that exceeds 10%. A cost-of-living crisis driven by sharp food and energy price increases has left people struggling to pay bills as union wages have fallen in real terms over the past decade.
Ukraine children back home after alleged deportation (Reuters) More than 30 children were reunited with their families in Ukraine this weekend after a long operation to bring them back home from Russia or Russian-occupied Crimea, where they had been taken from areas occupied by Russian forces during the war. Mothers hugged sons and daughters as they crossed the border from Belarus into Ukraine on Friday after a complex rescue mission involving travel across four countries. Dasha Rakk, a 13-year-old girl, said she and her twin sister had agreed to leave the Russian-occupied city of Kherson last year because of the war and go to a holiday camp in Crimea for a few weeks. But once in Crimea, Russian officials said the children would be staying for longer. “They said we will be adopted, that we will get guardians,” she said. Dasha’s mother Natalia said she had travelled from Ukraine to Crimea via Poland, Belarus and Moscow to get her daughters. “It was terribly difficult but we kept on going, we did not sleep at nights, we slept sitting up,�� she said, describing her journey to the camp. “It was heartbreaking to look at children left behind who were crying behind the fence,” she said. Kyiv estimates nearly 19,500 children have been taken to Russia or Russian-occupied Crimea since Moscow invaded in February last year, in what it condemns as illegal deportations.
Leaked documents warn of weaknesses in Ukraine’s defenses (Washington Post) Leaked U.S. military and intelligence documents indicate alarming Ukrainian shortfalls in Western-supplied weaponry—especially ammunition and air defense—even as they show deep American penetration into Russian plans, equipment and manpower. The disclosures offer an extraordinarily detailed snapshot of battlefield conditions in the Ukraine war from late February and early March, as NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned that the rate of Ukraine’s expenditure of ammunition was “many times higher” than the rate at which its benefactors could produce it. That vulnerability and urgency still exists. The United States, NATO, the European Union and allies much farther afield have been furiously seeking more ammunition from South Korea to Eastern Europe and Central Asia, and the means to produce more themselves in anticipation of a Ukrainian counteroffensive that may just be weeks away. Air defense, to protect sensitive sites, military personnel and equipment and civilians, is also critical. According to one of the documents, a late February assessment from the Defense Department’s Joint Staff, Ukraine’s “ability to provide medium range air defense to protect the [front lines] will be completely reduced by May 23. UKR assessed to withstand 2-3 more wave strikes” from attacking Russian missiles and drones.
Chinese Christians arrive in US after Thai detention (Bangkok Post) More than 60 self-exiled Chinese Christians who were detained for overstaying their visas in Thailand have arrived in the United States, where they will seek permanent asylum in Texas. The asylum-seekers arrived at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport on Friday night local time with plans to resettle in Tyler, 150 kilometres southeast of Dallas, the Dallas Morning News reported. Bob Fu, president of ChinaAid, a Texas-based Christian human rights organisation, confirmed their arrival in a text message in which he also thanked Thai and US officials for expediting the case.
China simulates striking Taiwan on second day of drills (Reuters) China’s military simulated precision strikes against Taiwan in a second day of drills around the island on Sunday, with the island’s defence ministry reporting multiple air force sorties and that it was monitoring China’s missile forces. China, which claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, began three days of military exercises around the island on Saturday, the day after Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen returned from a brief visit to the United States. A source familiar with the security situation in the region told Reuters that China had been conducting simulated air and sea attacks on “foreign military targets” in the waters off Taiwan’s southwestern coast.
Once everywhere, Saddam’s image scrubbed from Baghdad (AP) Of his countless stories of his life as a hairdresser in Iraq, the one Qaiss al-Sharaa most enjoys retelling is about the day April 9, 2003, when he watched Iraqis and American Marines pull down the statue of Saddam Hussein in front of his salon in Baghdad’s Firdos Square. For the world, it became an iconic moment of the U.S.-led invasion; live TV coverage as Marines tied the statue to a vehicle to pull the statue down inflated it into a symbol of the end of Saddam’s quarter century rule. In reality, the Firdos Square statue was a minor part of the huge number of monuments and palaces that Saddam erected to show off his power. All his statues and images are long gone now, 20 years after that day. Many of his palaces and buildings have been repurposed for a new Iraq. But much of the hope that came in wiping away Saddam’s oppressive visual presence has also evaporated, burned away first by years of brutal violence and now by a wrecked economy and rampant corruption by the new political elite of sectarian-based factions. Firdos Square has been refurbished as a small park, funded by private banks. On a building towering over the square is a large mural of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani—assassinated in a 2020 U.S. drone strike—and Imam Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. It is the sort of Shiite imagery that proliferates around Baghdad because of the domination of Iran-backed Shiite parties in the government. “This new garden that replaced Saddam’s represents the widespread corruption in Iraq today, underneath the nice greenery and fountains,” said al-Sharaa. He said that while he doesn’t miss Saddam’s rule he does miss “the rule of the law.”
Israeli military retaliates after rockets fired from Syria (AP) The Israeli military said its forces attacked targets in Syria early Sunday after six rockets were launched from Syrian territory in two batches toward Israel in a rare attack from Israel’s northeastern neighbor. After the second barrage of three rockets, Israel initially said it responded with artillery fire into the area in Syria from where the rockets were fired. Later, the military said Israeli fighter jets attacked Syrian army sites, including a compound of Syria’s 4th Division and radar and artillery posts. The rocket firings came after days of escalating violence on multiple fronts over tension in Jerusalem and an Israeli police raid on the city’s most sensitive holy site.
Can We No Longer Believe Anything We See? (NYT) Seeing has not been believing for a very long time. Photos have been faked and manipulated for nearly as long as photography has existed. Now, not even reality is required for photographs to look authentic—just artificial intelligence responding to a prompt. Even experts sometimes struggle to tell if one is real or not. The rapid advent of artificial intelligence has set off alarms that the technology used to trick people is advancing far faster than the technology that can identify the tricks. Experts fear the technology could hasten an erosion of trust in media, in government and in society. If any image can be manufactured—and manipulated—how can we believe anything we see? “The tools are going to get better, they’re going to get cheaper, and there will come a day when nothing you see on the internet can be believed,” said Wasim Khaled, chief executive of Blackbird.AI, a company that helps clients fight disinformation.

Shades of Brown
 Curatorial statement
This virtual exhibit shall shed light on the stylistic perspectives of modern-day African American contemporary artists. Through the eyes of these artists, an emphasis on cultural, visual, and conceptual diversities leads to the dialogue about the importance of the African American perspective in modern-day America. These perspectives are vital in shaping the current identity of the United States of America. Though muzzled through the years, the African American voice bleeds through to the surface time and time again, proving its importance. Artists like Conrad Egyir show their perspective by fusing Afrocentric folklore and religious/political narratives to paint his perspective of African American history. Cinga Samson weaves classical and contemporary themes to paint thought-provoking narratives and insight. Both artists provide a narrative that asks questions about their points of view and the weight of their existence in modern society. From wars to politics, the voices of the backbone of America sing out and shape modern trends in current America. This Exhibition will provide a microphone for these artists' voices and boost awareness of their existence that started from a foundation rooted in cultural heritage and individual experiences. These artists help dive into themes of identity, resilience, and empowerment. Their works reflecting the complexities for the African American experience, capturing moments of, joy, sorrow, triumph, and struggle. A constant theme of the infusion with elements of tradition and innovation, they challenge conventional narratives and offer fresh perspectives on historical and contemporary issues. The exhibition shall reveal the interplay of colors, textures, and symbolism.

Top 2023 Microscopic Photos: Miniature Castles and Caramel Apple-Like Spores
Tumblr media
Eerie Beauty Under the Microscope: Nikon's Small World Photomicrography Competition A miniature crystal castle of golden rutile quartz. The dark phosphorescent armor of a blue-black weevil. Slime molds growing spores that look like rich caramel apples. An otherworldly alien pineapple, nested as the stamen and stigma of an Hibiscus flower bud. Nikon Honors Over 80 Stunning Microscopic Images These mesmerizing images and more than 80 others were celebrated this year as part of the prestigious Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition. For nearly half a century since its inception in 1974, this competition has been a platform to recognize the photographic brilliance of individuals who explore the world through a microscope. Global Participation and Expert Panel This year, the competition received approximately 1,900 submissions from photographers and scientists hailing from 72 countries worldwide. These remarkable pictures were meticulously judged by a panel of five experts, including a cell biologist from Princeton and the photo editor of the BBC's Science Focus magazine. Top Prize Goes to Neuroscientist Aiding Diabetes Patients The highest honor of the competition was awarded to neuroscientist Hassanain Qambari, a researcher at the Lions Eye Institute's Centre for Ophthalmology and Visual Science in Perth, Australia. His winning photograph, captured through confocal microscopy, presents a microscopic, compound image of a rodent's optic nerve-head. Beyond its visual appeal, this image serves a practical purpose, aiding patients with diabetes. Focusing on Diabetic Retinopathy Hassanain Qambari's work centers on the issue of diabetic retinopathy, a complication of diabetes that can result in blurry vision or blindness due to damage in the blood vessels near the back of the eye. He aims to enhance early detection and reversal of this disease, which affects approximately one in five people with diabetes. Other Standout Images While the first place went to Qambari, the second prize was awarded to German digital artist Ole Bielfeldt for his close-up of a match igniting along a matchbox. The third-place spot was claimed by healthcare consultant Malgorzata Lisowska from Warsaw, Poland, for her image of a valentine-like structure growing within a cluster of breast cancer cells. A Visual Delight All 86 of the top images in this year's Nikon competition are truly remarkable. Here are twelve that have captured our attention: - A castle-like image of golden rutile in quartz, captured by Danny J. Sanchez in California. - Budding slime molds photographed by Dr. Frantisek Bednar of Slovakia. - A blue-black weevil pest captured by Dr. Andrew M. Posselt of the University of California, San Francisco. - A crystallized sugar syrup magnified 25 times, taken by Dr. Diego García of Universidad Complutense de Madrid. - An image of a match igniting, securing second place for Ole Bielfeldt. - A fluorescent photo of Acropora sp. taken by Dr. Pichaya Lertvilai of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. - A micrometeorite resting on a testing sieve, photographed by Scott Peterson. - Venomous tarantula fangs, snapped by John-Oliver Dum in Germany. - A cleared mouse embryo by Dr. Arthur Chien of Macquarie University. - Diatoms, single-celled algae, arranged on the head of a pin by Jan Rosenboom in Germany. - Motor neurons grown in a microfluidic device, captured by Melinda Beccari and Dr. Don W. Cleveland of the University of California, San Diego. Nikon's Small World in Motion Contest Notably, Nikon's Small World Competition, which began in 1975 to honor photomicrographers using light microscopes, expanded in 2011 to include a category known as Small World in Motion. This category welcomes videos and digital time-lapse photography captured through microscopes, broadening the creative possibilities for participants. It encompasses various light microscopy techniques and subjects, reflecting the continuous advancement of microscopic photography. Read the full article

Some Demographics
https://gardenpals.com/gardening-statistics/
Gardening is a soothing hobby for the whole family, a great way to get exercise, and improves self-sufficiency which is critical during this difficult period.
The Covid pandemic created 18.3 million new gardeners, most of whom are millennials.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^confirms there’s a strong market for our product. 
The vegetable gardening trend is on the rise and tomato is the most popular vegetable in the U.S., as 86% of gardeners grow them.
Top 10 homegrown vegetables:
86% Tomatoes
47% Cucumbers
46% Sweet Peppers
39% Beans
34% Carrots
32% Summer Squash
32% Onions
31% Hot Peppers
28% Lettuce
24% Peas
Region/Country
Gardening has been very popular in the United States this year throughout the entire nation. However, each region has a varying growing climate that restricts growing success for individual plants and how much people garden leisurely.
The individuals’ gardening method also depends heavily on living situations, such as rural vs. urban environments and homes with yards vs. small apartment living spaces.
Food Garden Sizes By Region
Gardening popularity per state is a challenging statistic to gauge, mainly because you have to purchase gardening statistics reports. However, each US region makes up a percentage of food gardens consisting of fruit, vegetables, and herbs. Here is the breakdown:
23% West
26% Midwest
29% South
22% Northeast
https://www.ecologyandsociety.org/vol25/iss4/art8/#surveys
Women planted significantly more ornamental plants than men - meaning that men were more likely to plant flowers, fruit/vege plants?  Men reported a significantly higher proportion of crop plants than women.
Specifically, we found that women cultivate more plant species, especially more ornamental plant species, than men, and that individual gardeners motivated by nature connection tend to differ more in the plants they cultivate compared to individual gardeners motivated by food or recreation who cultivated more similar plant species to each other.
Women may see themselves as “lifestyle” gardeners focused on plant and flower diversity and beauty whereas male gardeners see themselves as farmers.
Motivations/values/pyschographics
Finally, we found that plant composition differed depending on gardener motivations, but not in the way we had predicted. We documented that food, recreation, nature connection, health, and social reasons, e.g., friends and family, were the most important motivations mentioned by gardeners, consistent with other studies mainly conducted in the United States, Europe, and Australia.

Details about the product are printed all over the bottle.
Tumblr media
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Nervogen Pro Pills contains five substances that boost your nerve system. In certain supplements, several substances are utilized in medium doses. Other supplements contain substantial amounts of several substances. Oddly, the chemicals in Nervogen Pro are used in such small amounts.
Nervogen Pro contains less than 500mg of total formula per two capsule dosing or roughly 45mg to 145mg of each ingredient. At greater quantities, the substances listed may help with nerve function, but there’s no evidence that they help with cognition at such low doses.
The goal of Nervogen Pro capsules is to provide your body with the herbal extracts, botanicals, and other components it needs to enhance nerve health in the brain.
Your body’s nerves send messages to your brain. If your nerves aren’t getting the support they require, your brain health will suffer. Nervogen Pro enhances the health of your nerves with herbal extracts, allowing you to dramatically improve your health and wellness.
What are the Nervogen Pro Ingredients Included?
The manufacturer has made the Nervogen Pro supplement 100% natural with a refreshing combination of nutrients. Each Nervogen Pro ingredient is backed clinically to support the neural pathways and nerves, eliminating neuropathic issues. Fortunately, the creator has made the formulation under the GMP guidelines, which ensures the safe dosage and quality of the pills.
Passiflora Incarnate: It helps lower the pain and soothes the sensible nerve endings.
Corydalis: This flower extract comprises pain-relieving effects that control stress and blocks pain signals from the brain.
California Poppy Seeds: This extract helps strengthen the nerve endings and shield them from sensitivity.
Prickly Pear: It has essential vitamins to relax painful nerves and support healthy muscle functions instantly.
Marshmallow root: It has soothing agents that shield the tensed psoas and relaxes their stress and pain.
What Is the Suggested Dosage for Nervogen Pro?
Nervogen Pro is intended to be taken twice a day in the form of two capsules. It is preferable to take it during breakfast and dinner. However, the manufacturer makes no such advice. Also, drink plenty of water with Nervogen Pro so that the veggie capsules can be readily digested inside the body. As a word of caution, do not exceed the prescribed dosage of Nervogen Pro. One can drink one capsule every day, but never three or more. This may result in adverse effects that one should not have in the first place.
Effects of Nervogen Pro
It takes approximately 7 days for Nervogen Pro to start working. More results are visible in two months. One can take the supplement for six months for optimal results and enjoyment, ensuring that the neuropathy never returns during the lifetime.
However, because everyone is built differently, it may take longer for some people to feel the effects of the supplement, while others may feel the effects much faster. As a result, Nervogen Pro recognizes individual differences, which is why they provide a 60-day money-back guarantee. to set things right when things go wrong for that specific small percentage of the population
How Potent Is Nervogen Pro? Is Nervogen Pro Effective?
Nervogen Pro can be a lifesaver for some people. For quite some time, the supplement has been at the forefront of the fight against neuropathy. Thousands of people have previously tried and tested the product in accordance with its instructions.

Kelumapusaura vs Gobihadros
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Factfiles:
Tumblr media
Artwork by Leonardo HerSan, written by @zygodactylus
Name Meaning: Reptile Shaman of the Red Earth 
Time: 73 to 69 million years ago (Campanian to Maastrichtian stages of the Late Cretaceous)
Location: Allen Formation, Patagonia, Argentina 
Kelumapusaura is another addition to the growing number of South American hadrosaurs, a radiation of this group that was previously considered unlikely but appears to have happened towards the very end of the Cretaceous period - thus showing that hadrosaurs reached almost every continent, except perhaps Australia! It was an average sized hadrosaur, reaching about 9 meters long, and as a member of the Kritosaurs it probably had enlarged nasal passages for sound production and communication. It would have lived in social groups, like other hadrosaurs. In the Allen Formation, Kelumapusaura lived in a coastal environment of fluvial plains, ephemeral lakes, tidal flats, and estuaries with extreme semiarid seasonality. Evaporites would accumulate in the arid seasons, only to be washed away as the wet season returned. Many dinosaurs are known from this formation: Aeolosaurus, Austroraptor, Bonapartesaurus, Bonapartenykus, Bonatitan, Lamarqueavis, Lapampasaurus, Limenavis, Menucocelsior, Niebla, Panamericansaurus, Patagopelta, Pellegrinisaurus, Quilmesaurus, Rocasaurus, and Willinakaqe. In addition, Kelumapusaura shared its home with pterosaurs such as Aerotitan, tuatarans, plesiosaurs, frogs, and a variety of mammals. 
Gobihadros mongoliensis
Tumblr media
Artwork by KookaburraSurvivor, written by @zygodactylus
Name Meaning: Hadrosaur from the Gobi of Mongolia 
Time: 90 to 86 million years ago (Turonian to Coniacian stages of the Late Cretaceous)
Location: Upper Beds, Bayan Shireh Formation, Bayshin Tsav, Baynshire, Char Teeg, Khongil Tsav, Khoorai Tsav, Mongolia  Gobihadros is an early almost-hadrosaur from the Bayan Shireh Formation, one of the rare environments preserving the evolution of dinosaurs during the start of the Late Cretaceous epoch - essentially, when the charismatic dinosaurs of the Latest Cretaceous, such as hadrosaurs, first evolved. Multiple specimens are known from throughout the formation, making Gobihadros the best known early hadrosauroid from Asia. Adults reached sizes of about 7.5 meters long, and it had as many as three teeth per position within the lower jaw (this is high even for early hadrosaurs, more similar to those of later taxa, indicating convergent/parallel evolution). It also still retained the conical thumb claw of earlier ornithopods like Iguanodon. An older individual of the species showed signs of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease, a condition of age causing restriction in the joints and pain during movement. Gobihadros lived in a semi-arid plain environment littered with lakes and rivers, with meandering bodies of water draining into the sea on the coast of China. Flowering plants were present in this environment, as well as a wide variety of animal life - sharks, Azhdarchids, turtles, and other dinosaurs like Alectrosaurus (probably), a troodontid, Erlikosaurus, Caenagnathoids, Garudimimus, Graciliceratops, a possible Carcharodontosaur (which would be a late surviving species), Talarurus, and potentially many more species waiting to be formally named.

Do you want custom washi tape? How to design your washi tape?
Want a special washi tape? Custom washi tape can solve your problem. But how to design your washi tape if you have to design drawings for custom washi tape?
Design requirements for custom washi tape
The simple illustration style paper tape is one of the best materials for handbook collage, in the hands of consumers, the small illustration pattern that does not affect the handbook writing effect, but also can embellish the whole layout, text and graphics. The author is good at drawing illustrations with simple lines and a sense of life, and is also a fan of handwriting; therefore, the author uses interesting examples from life and nature as a background, combining his basic drawing skills with his own unique style and perspective, thus creating original washi tapes.
How to design custom washi tape
Tumblr media
1. Analyse the consumer's field of use to conceptualise the washi tape theme and overall style: The target group for the washi tape is stationery lovers or those who prefer to record their lives in the form of a diary, so the overall style of the washi tape was determined to be a set of freshly coloured, cute and simple character illustrations. In order to create a hand-drawn style, you can use pencil brushes or grainy brushes in your drawing software and set the paper size to suit your printing requirements.
2. Collect theme-related drawing materials to extract inspiration: After determining the basic style, start collecting theme-related drawing materials. The paper tape is named 'Dot Life', but the content of the illustration is not limited to the word 'life', and the paper tape can be used as a vehicle for the artist to create freely. I have conceived a scene in a fantasy forest-like setting where cute little elves can talk freely.
3. Sketching: Using the Sai software, a preliminary sketch is created. Each pattern in the paper tape is an individual illustration, but each illustration is coherent and interesting.
4. Line drawing and fine-tuning: Using Sai, Photoshop and other image processing software to draw the complete line drawing on the basis of the original draft, using the pre-determined pencil texture brush, in order to make the picture more hand-painted texture, in the settings to adjust the slightly watercolour paper bumpy and mixed with grainy paper. The simple but elegant collection of flowers and trees is combined with a unique personal style; the clean, simple lines that summarise the characters contrast with the complex parts, and the washi tape shows the elves as small and wearing strange costumes of unique design; polka dots and rows of lines are used as fillers to contrast the foreground with the background; this washi tape is a plain tape with few colours, so in order to make Once all the lines and coloured parts are drawn, the tape is imported into Photoshop to adjust the distance between the patterns, set the print bleed lines, filter curves, and finally export the source file.

Genderfluid Gay flag!
Hi all! Since most of genderfluid gay flags were made by anti-endo and anti-MOGAI+ people I decided to make my own.
Colors mean fluid genders(the subtle shift through masculine, feminine, neutral/abinary, xenine and other genders), blues mean attraction to men and pinks mean GNC genderfluid gays, PNC(she/they/it/neos) genderfluid gays, intersex, femme, m-spec(Bi/Pan/Ply/Omni/Abro) gays and other genderfluid gays that destroy the stereotypical definition of gay man!
I also made cold version because I think the original flag(on left) isn’t too original
