u're thinking about blackcest. im thinking about blackcest. u're thinking about blackcest and james. i have not thought about them yet but now i really want to. could u. could u share some of ur thought about them? the jersey post is haunting me i need to understand

i would love to…..

(okay, so this was born from yapping in the very newly made group chat ’couples conglomerate’ which is me, kara (@/sugarsnappeases), lane (@/sixlane) and renn (@/velanavis). it’s nowhere near coherent and just the four of us going crazy … 🤍 but i’ve also been obsessively thinking about it so not all of this from the gc!!!)

picture this: james, lonely and greedy only child meets the black brothers at some boarding school (im thinking a university ??) somewhere in england. this is some secret history typa ordeal. james & sirius immediately hit it off and become best friends, + that they’re both 1+ years older than regulus, so sirius would obviously meet james first. the black brothers are still from the noble most ancient house of black. sirius is heir, regulus is the spare. sirius is the ever charismatic older brother, heir, confident, smart, beautiful and everyone has always been drawn to him. this hasnt been a problem before because they’ve always been very isolated and only had each other at the end of the day. maybe they were home-schooled. regulus is the lesser version of sirius, the spare, lacks his older brothers natural charm, has been taught to stay out of sirius’ way his whole life, to take after his brother, to observe him and watch him, be his shadow. regulus follows sirius and sirius leads. regulus hasnt necessarily been too overly possessive and obsessive (<- he has been, just not to his knowledge) over sirius before he starts university because at the end of the day sirius would always come back to him (for him, in regulus’ mind). only now sirius is leaving for university and he’s going to live somewhere else. sirius is excited, regulus is not. sirius meets james and it’s love at first sight and sirius wont! shut! up! about! him! he doesn’t even spend the whole breaks at grimmauld !!!!! and regulus miss him, needs him, craves him, sleeps in his shirts, uses his toothbrush, cry-wanks over it, etc etc etc

regulus eventually attends the same university and ends up meeting james. he hates him, is jealous of him, obsessively observes him interacting with his brother, convinced that they’re fucking (<- they are), and he developes a perverse pseudo-incest self hating crush on james because 1. no one is immune to james, 2. he stole his brother away, 3. sirius likes james and regulus has been raised to follow his brothers footsteps/think like him. it’s basically pavlovian. he wants james because sirius has james, he wants james because sirius wants james, he wants to know what james is doing to his brother, jacking off to pretending he’s in his brother’s place. wants to ruin sirius’ life, wants to have sirius’ life, wants to be the only thing in sirius’ life. <- he’s also projecting his feelings for sirius onto james in a bad attempt at denial :/ pseudo-incest jegulus save me….

what we mostly yelled about in the gc is the concept of a fucked up throuple / love triangle typa situation where both brothers are sleeping with james, and james being the spoiled and greedy only child who wants the black brothers set. <- which turned into a conversation about slughorn and the slug club and the three of them being members…. and maybe even the possibility of james killing slughorn out of pure possessiveness. jame sort of treating them like his collector items, juggling both brothers, knowing there’s this repressed incestuous miserable yearning between them that neither of them will act on / and using james to get it out of their systems. he wouldn’t even want them to work out their issues… <- which is where the jersey would play a part…. james wearing sirius’ jersey while fucking regulus or vice versa. the blackcest of it all is sort of unspoken between the three of them, but they all know. 🤍 after james is killed by slughorn sirius and reg end up actually fucking for the first time after the funeral and then they never speak again… 🤍

me and kara also talked Lots about a modern au blackcest dynamic today but this is so long already…. another time xx

MORRISON BASIN GEOGRAPHY

Today for Monday Musings I would like to discuss the paleogeography of the Morrison Basin. There are a few things I want you to learn from this:

-How do we know what it looked like in the Late Jurassic Morrison Basin?

-How do we know it was a basin?

-There were different environments/ecosystems within this very large basin.

Okay, so first. How do we know it was a basin? Easy, the rock record only records deposition (or lack thereof). Deposition happens in areas of low relief: basins. We can extrapolate where the highlands were from fluvial deposits and where we find them (i.e. where the conglomerates vs. the sandstones vs. the mudstones are in the system). As we move downriver from the source rock, the grains in the rocks get finer. Therefore, shales are found in places where movement is minimal such as a lake bottom or ocean floor and conglomerates are found closer to the source rock where fast flowing water could still move the larger grains. Here's a very simplified sketch of this concept:

How do we know what the land looked like? Well, we can find our answers in the rocks. In Canada, the Morrison is not used but there are equivalent rock layers: The Fernie Formation, the Morrissey Formation and the lower part of the Mist Mountain Formation. The Fernie Formation is primarily shales with a few sandstones, cherts, and limestones.

These rocks tell us that this is where the Sundance Sea was during the last part of the Jurassic Period. The Morrissey Formation is made of conglomeratic sandstones primarily with rare beds of mudstone, siltstone and even coal. This indicates a deltaic, nearshore (littoral), beach environment. This formation shows forested rivers emptying into the Sundance Sea.

The Mist Mountain Formation is actually Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous deposit. It is primarily shale, siltstone, sandstone, and mudstone. This formation represents fluvial channels, floodplains, deltaic, coastal plains and swamps along the Western Interior Seaway as it began to transgress back across the continent.

As we move south into Montana and Wyoming, we can see the environment start to change a little. The base of the Morrison here is the Windy Hill Member, a limey fossiliferous sandstone indicating warm, shallow seabed not unlike the Gulf of Mexico today. This is the extent of the Sundance Sea in the late Jurassic. By this point in time, the sea was regressing off the continent heading towards northwestern Canada and the ocean.

You can even see the white beach sand in the rock and the modern Gulf of Mexico! Neat! Following the Windy Hill in western Montana is the Swift Formation. This is also a marine deposit of primarily orangish brown, glauconitic sandstone. Commonly, it is filled with fossils. It is also shallow marine and some coastal deposits.

Next is the Morrison Formation proper. Like down south in the more famous outcrops, the Morrison in Montana consists of variegated mudstones and sandstones with minor limestones indicating fluvial and lacustrine deposits.

The biggest difference is that there is no clay change like on the Colorado Plateau (it doesn't become smectitic). This tells us there was no volcanic activity up north.

As we move south through Wyoming, the Morrison continues to have the typical variegated mudstone and sandstone profile, however, it has recently been noted to be mostly lacustrine (lake) deposits rather than fluvial (river). The basal Morrison in Wyoming is the Windy Hill Member (the regressive marine sequence). Perhaps the lakes were what was left after the sea retreated.

Northern Utah and Colorado are very similar to Wyoming with slightly more fluvial rocks than lacustrine, such as at Evil Tree Bonebed (I know, shameless plug but our site is so COOL). Things also start to show the clay change from illitic to smectitic showing that volcanism is becoming prevalent.

As we continue heading south through Colorado and Utah, more members are separated out and we see the seaonsal wet/dry cycles appear in the rock record. The Morrison down here is primarily fluvial sandstones and conglomerates and the variegated, smectitic mudstones.

(Grand Junction Morrison Formation)

As we continue south onto the Four Corners area, we become even more arid. In fact, there was a large saline lake there not unlike the Great Salt Lake in northern Utah now. It was called Lake Too'dichi and geochemistry tells us it was very saline and contained a lot of smectitic minerals that have aided in uranium ore development in the area.

(the Great Salt Lake from my plane home from GSA)

Lastly, in South Dakota and in the Colorado Plateau we find sand dune deposits ( Bluff and Unkpapa Sandstones) indicating small deserts forming.

So, when we put it all together, we make a paleomap that looks something like this:

Neat, right? You can see the retreating sea and the large river systems and the arid areas. I personally would put Lake Too'dichi on there too as it's like Great Salt Lake size but this is good enough for our purposes.

I hope you were able to learn something new and exciting about how rocks tell us about paleoenvironment and I will fossilize y'all later!

orhidee

obișnuiam să ne aparținem

să fii a mea

să fiu al tău       

obișnuiam să ne spunem noapte bună

obișnuiam să ne trezim cu bună dimineața

obișnuiam să vorbim toată ziua

obișnuiam să...

meh.

ardem hârtii

fumăm iluzii

o să ne vedem când vom avea timp

dar timpul zboară

timpul e ca un conglomerat.

abia ne suportăm

abia vorbim

abia ne înțelegem

tu nu ești a mea

eu sunt doar al meu.

Uniunea Europeană, O Federație a Forței: Ce Se Ascunde în Spatele Integrării Complete și Care Sunt Beneficiile Pentru Țările Plagiate de Corupție

Un vis european sau un coșmar pentru corupție? Uniunea Europeană, un conglomerat de state ce se autodeclara a fi un model de colaborare și progres economic, ar putea fi pe cale să devină o adevărată Federație Europeană, cu o autoritate centralizată capabilă să impună ordinea și statul de drept peste toate națiunile membre. Dar care ar fi beneficiile acestei noi structuri de putere? Ce se întâmplă…

CAL SHAKES IS CLOSING

FUCK THIS, that is the 2nd theater company closing this year after Cutting Ball, with many more closures in the past few years, & many more surely to come. Art in the bay is dying. Fuck gentrification, fuck corporatization, fuck conglomeratization.

[catgirlsupremacist]

I should probably check in on the news about Jared and ivank trying to buy up real estate ialbania to become like conglomerats. I was on holiday when the news was dropping and it is genuinely rage inducing.

[iamreallytryingiswear]

Nop never, we have a lot of conglomerats of mountains in those cities it snows a little bit that i heard. But they are few. So no snow or ice only a bit of frost one day each 4 years.

It's a tropical country, then only the south, most Rio grande do Sul, gets really near 0ºC

I have never skated on ice only with the ones with wheels

[gonsobomb]

Watching collision now. Jamie hayter rules obvi. That table spot for Harley must’ve sucked. Tired of the conglomeratation kinda bc I hate fun. Idk individually I like them a lot just not as big a fan of the group shtick. OC isn’t supposed to have friends! That was the story! I know Trent got hurt so they pivoted but orange lost his best friends and immediately moved on. Hopefully when Trent is back they use that. Also hate Jericho obviously. Bill needs freed.
