If Earth had Saturn’s Rings

From an excellent post by Jason Davis

From Washington, D.C., the rings would only fill a portion of the sky, but appear striking nonetheless. Here, we see them at sunrise.

From Guatemala, only 14 degrees above the equator, the rings would begin to stretch across the horizon. Their reflected light would make the moon much brighter.

From Earth’s equator, Saturn’s rings would be viewed edge-on, appearing as a thin, bright line bisecting the sky.

At the March and September equinoxes, the Sun would be positioned directly over the rings, casting a dramatic shadow at the equator.

At midnight at the Tropic of Capricorn, which sits at 23 degrees south latitude, the Earth casts a shadow over the middle of the rings, while the outer portions remain lit.

I didn’t know I wanted earth to have rings but now I know and am sad

Yikes.

This is the best thing I’ve seen

Revolutionary parenting hack:

If your child is in the middle of some activity and clearly enjoying it (and wasn't supposed to be doing something else instead), DO NOT interrupt them and have them do chores that will "only take 5 minutes or so!"

You haven't asked them to do anything before they got out the Legos, started reading a chapter of their book or painting the complicated picture, or began playing their video game.

As a result of being repeatedly interrupted, they will learn that their presence in public space of the household=availability to do chores, so they will make themselves scarce so you can't find them and order them around. They will also become suspicious of your efforts to engage with them as they play, as they've learned that these pleasantries are a prelude to "Take out the trash", or "move your boots and vacuum the entryway, there's dirt everywhere ".

"But I need my children to help me around the house!", I hear you cry. I understand. Children should not be treated like royalty and left to their own devices 24/7.

An alternative is to give the kids a clearly delineated chore chart and stick to it, resisting the urge to add anything to it. There are some chores that are easier and quicker with two people, though. A (in my opinion) even better option is to divide the child's day into "on-duty" and "off-duty " time. When they're on-duty, you can interrupt them as before, but you have *consulted with your child beforehand * and they understand that during this time they can relax, but they must be ready to jump in and lend a hand.

That way they won't start trying to level up in their video game or break out the clay and make stuff. When they are off-duty, you leave them alone and their only responsibilities are to clean up whatever mess they make at the end of this time.

Also, if they are tearing around the house or whining about being bored, don't make them do chores so they will "have something to do"; this could make the child conflate extra chores with punishment for whining and make them reluctant to help out when you randomly tell them to at other times because they might think they're being punished but they have NO IDEA WHAT THEY DID. And IMO children should see chores as things everyone has to do no matter what, not punishments.

I may seem unqualified to offer parenting advice as I have no kids, but I was talking with my dad today and he said: "I wish you didn't hide from us in your room so much, but every time your mom walked by she'd give you a chore to do, so I can't blame you for that." A kid who hides in their room to play has an entirely different relationship to the family than the child who sprawls on the livingroom floor and excitedly describes the city they are building out of Legos.

And today, in times of Covid I play a complicated game of hide-and-seek with my mother as I try to do my online coding homework and apply for jobs. I am now attempting to turn my bedroom into my own tiny office because if I work in our home office, she'll find me and go "I can't attach this file to my email," and so on.

Children *have* to obey their parents when they are young. But true respect and honoring collective responsibilities is stronger than forced obedience. If you demonstrate to your children that you respect them and their time, they will reciprocate.

I don’t reblog much, but this is too well said not to.

This always gets a reblog.

man like. being lgbt kind of ruins time with relatives in a very specific way that cishets will never truly experience. like family time can be rough tm but theres a special brand of discomfort that lgbt people face and it’s kinda wild

It’s the specific feeling of “these people’s love is entirely conditional, and I know exactly what the conditions are, and one day I’m gonna have to bite the bullet and come out and none of these people will love me anymore”. It’s not a feeling cishet ppl experience for obvious reasons.

Even with family that Accepts You tm, theres always this level of “I can only talk about being gay so much before it gets Uncomfortable. I cant actually talk about dating bc someone will look like they ate a raw lemon whole eventually until I’m told I’m oversharing and then conversation will turn to Perfect Cousin with her Perfect Husband and When Are We Going To See Babies? Are they trying? How often? And just….its annoying that it still has to be Rough tm when u do come out and for the most part ur still loved an accepted, but u cant actually talk about it too much, even in the sense of Finding Someone or Boo Evil Politics bc ppl will STILL get visibly uncomfortable

Its called the Death Waltz, and was written as a joke but people have attempted it on piano.

Saxes move downstage.

I was gonna make a joke like “someone find me two pianos and four octopi, I’ve got a concert to plan.”

Then I saw the video and now realise I underestimated the number of octopi I’d need.

Geralt doesn’t touch Jaskier often. Geralt doesn’t touch anyone often, actually, outside of combat or paid company. It makes people uncomfortable, and there’s only so many times he can see others flinch away from his touch before it feels personal.

Witchers are not things for touching. But someone forgot to tell that to Jaskier. Jaskier is never afraid to bump shoulders when they walk side by side or to grab Geralt’s forearm when he’s telling an exciting story. Jaskier touches him so casually, and every time he does something hot thrums under Geralt’s skin.

Geralt knows better, though. He’ll haul Jaskier around by the scruff of his neck to move him out of harm’s way, but only in an emergency. Other than that, he keeps his hands to himself.

At least, that’s how it goes at first, until little inadvertent moments start to creep into their lives. Their fingers will brush when he hands Jaskier a hunk of meat from the spit, or he’ll clap Jaskier on the back when they reunite in the spring. And every time he does so, Jaskier’s heart picks up a pace and his scent is overlaid with something warm and spicy.

Geralt allows himself some cursory experimentation. He pats Jaskier’s hand to wish him luck before a performance and Jaskier’s face breaks into a lovely smile. He flicks Jaskier’s ear when he teases him and Jaskier giggles uproariously before attempting, unsuccessfully, to flick him back. When they’re cornered by a pack of ghouls on a job, he doesn’t think twice before grabbing Jaskier’s hand and running.

He keeps waiting for Jaskier to shrink away from his touch, but he never does, no matter how dangerous the situation or how covered Geralt is in monster guts. On nights when their coin only covers a single room at an inn, Geralt will settle himself on the bed at a respectful distance, but Jaskier has never cared for being respectable and will wind himself around Geralt by the time the sun is up. Sometimes, Geralt will wake early and allow himself to luxuriate in the feeling of Jaskier pressed close to him.

It’s a cool summer evening when they decide to camp out under the stars. For once their packs are bulging with food and their coin had even stretched to a couple of wineskins. They set up camp in the glow of twilight, and Geralt can’t stop looking at the way the soft red light of the setting sun streaks through Jaskier’s hair. He’s fussing over a blanket, but Geralt mischievously plucks it from his hands and tosses it over his shoulder.

“Hey!” Jaskier objects, but he’s smiling, and his smile only widens when Geralt takes a step closer. From here, he can see each of Jaskier’s eyelashes, flitting prettily over the deep blue of his eyes. Geralt lets himself indulge, cupping Jaskier’s cheek in his hand. His skin is soft and warm beneath his fingers, just as he’d imagined it would be. He strokes Jaskier’s cheek with his thumb, and the scent of cloves and cinnamon fills the air.

His eyes are caught by the plump pink of Jaskier’s mouth. Carefully, not wanting to break the moment, he runs his thumb down and over Jaskier’s bottom lip. The clove scent blooms, and with the slightest pressure Jaskier opens his mouth, letting Geralt’s thumb slide inside, the tip of his tongue playing against the pad of his thumb.

Jaskier’s heart is thundering, but there’s none of the acrid smell of fear. There’s only the warmth of cloves suffusing the air between them, and the heat of Jaskier’s mouth around his thumb.

Geralt tilts his head.

Hmm.

Interesting.

basic things you should know about your main characters

Additionally, not all of these things have to come up in the course of your story, but it’s integral to who your character is as a person.

These things should be considered even for antagonists and occasionally side characters!

writing multi-chapter fics be like

This is the bane of my existence.

I heard you fam’~ The cry for more long haired Nicky as well as more crusader times was very strong, so I had to comply.

However, over on discord kind people are throwing mad ideas at me and even though my back said no, my muses said yes so there we go- you get a two for one deal! Nicky and Joe from the crusades to now~ (n they’re still just as dirty n bloody lol)

May I also introduce you to additional goodies: Crusader time outfits inspired by the originaly AC aaaaaand Comic complient height difference! OwÓ~  first time I saw in the comics how much taller Nicky was compared to Joe I may or may not have had a mild seizure. And during that seizure a voice told me that it is now my holy mission to spread the good word n somehow make it happen with the movie actors too. I hope I succeeded :’D

and… you’re welcome? lol  I also put this one up in my shop cause I just really like how it turned out

(ps: click the link- this amazing lady took an already fantastic song n gave it a completely new flavour with her indie version of it. freaking love it!)

little things i never want to forget about the hargreeves:
