Minotaur confirmed with page 592!

So on the two missing parts of the sun in the tarot card… (and the new page)

We (not me, I should say) have already established that the fifth one is a Minotaur. What about the fourth one? I've looked at the Tarot card from various directions, and after much squinting I thought I could recognize something vaguely elephant-shaped.

Looking for "elephants in myth" and thinking of Hinduism already, I came across Ganesha.

Now, almost all the foreshadowing on the pages 380/381 seems to have to do with the trees.

Also, we have already had an elephant in the comic - Assok's original form, whose reveal directly precedes this "flash forward". His new gear (the flying marionette thing built by Tinker) appearing on a page otherwise mainly devoted to Sun allusions makes sense in that context.

My theory is that he might crash into an already freed part of the sun, fall into the abyss (which also gets shown on the foreshadowing page with TOby and the Ferryman), and together they'll find the fifth part of the tree and raise it out of the abyss.

This would also explain why Assok has been described as "empty" by RGB; he's probably going to merge with the fifth part of the sun and regain his previous elephant form.

Thank you for your patience! A HUGE HUGE THANK YOU to my friends for helping me out with the art for this page! I literally could not have made it without the help of: @furiouskettle @staarbles

This is the first time collabing with anyone on a page for TPoH so it was a huge leap to have the courage to ask my friends, and I had so many offers! You will see work from others in the near future, too!

French DWD comic (Mickey comic actually but it had a DWD story) that I’ve NEVER been able to find online before, hope the images aren’t too low quality!!

I reblog stuff that appeals to me in some way. In this case, Tumblr decided to show me several snail-related posts in short succession and I found that one nice enough to show to my followers, without knowing anything about it.

I hope you're joking but there is very little I dislike more than being falsely accused of lying. So please don't do it.

Hey, the ACLU is getting people to send letters to your Reps to have Congress pass the No Kings Act.

This act would make constitutional amendments to ensure that even sitting presidents are held liable for their actions. That NOBODY is above the law.

Their goal is 150k messages sent and at the time of writing this they're about 2.1k off from that goal!

ACLU gives you a prefilled message that you can edit to send to make the process easier, and will send it out for you.

This only takes a few minutes!

My dad has bees. Today, I went to his house and he showed me all the honey he had gotten from the hives. He took the lid off a 5-gallon bucket full of honey and on top of the honey there were 3 little bees, struggling. They were covered in sticky honey and drowning. I asked him if we could help them and he said he was sure they wouldn't survive. Casualties of honey collection I suppose.

I asked him again if we could at least get them out and kill them quickly, after all he was the one who taught me to put a suffering animal (or bug) out of its misery. He finally conceded and scooped the bees out of the bucket. He put them in an empty Chobani yogurt container and put the plastic container outside.

Because he had disrupted the hive with the earlier honey collection, there were bees flying all over outside.

We put the 3 little bees in the container on a bench and left them to their fate. My dad called me out a little while later to show me what was happening. These three little bees were surrounded by all their sisters (all of the bees are females) and they were cleaning the sticky nearly dead bees, helping them to get all of the honey off of their bodies. We came back a short time later and there was only one little bee left in the container. She was still being tended to by her sisters.

When it was time for me to leave, we checked one last time and all three of the bees had been cleaned off enough to fly away and the container was empty.

Those three little bees lived because they were surrounded by family and friends who would not give up on them, family and friends who refused to let them drown in their own stickiness and resolved to help until the last little bee could be set free.

Bee Sisters. Bee Peers. Bee Teammates.

We could all learn a thing or two from these bees.

Bee kind always.

RECOUNT AND REVOTE!

For those in the US, there is a petition demanding a recount and revote as well as an investigation about the sudden change in support. Your voice matters and I encourage you to sign!

If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

So some people in PA got an email TODAY saying that their vote might not have been counted. If that's true, then they actually fucking cheated.
