Jagged Thunder formerly Jagged Sky

Son of Clear Sky and Bright Storm

Sibling of Fluttering Sky, Fallen Sky

Founder of Thundergrowth

Born to Clear Sky and Bright Storm, an adventures kit, he was the most keen on leaving the Wailing Den after the last White Coat stop showing up, more so when his father convinced his mother to come along with him with the group of cats that were leaving after the death of his brother Fallen Sky. Though his adventures spirit would bring him much pain as he leap into danger without thinking, one case of it causing the death of his beloved uncle Shade Sky. His father never forgave him for that and turn his attention to his sister Fluttering Sky, raising her up to be his successor of their group much to the anger of their mother

It became so much worse that, in hopes of gaining his father’s favor, he would climb a tree to catch a squirrel, a branch breaking which cause him to fall and break his leg. It never healed straight, forever more to be a twisted. His father, deem him weak and thus exile him so he wouldn’t be a burden, outraged Bright Storm went with him, breaking up with Clear Sky. His sister though, stayed with her father, having the same thought process with her father. There they would join up with Bumble Wind’s group

With Clear Sky’s thirst for more territory, it became a head on battle between the two groups. Brothers and sisters, parents and child, friends they all fought.

It all ended when the gods showed up, and in the end as Jagged Sky and Fluttering Sky saw the dead bodies of their parents they knew that things had to stop… and such three groups were form the Thundergrowth founded by the newly named Jagged Thunder, the Windmoor founded by Bumble Wind and the Skycanopy founded by Fluttering Sky

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.

Sokka baulked. "I'm not getting on that." "That," said Zuko, "is my baby." Zuko's baby, a fifty foot dragon, huffed. Great white plumes of smoke issued out of his nostrils and buffeted around Sokka. "Play nice, Druk," said Zuko, laughing

IT SPINS! Handmade electric motor! Entirely out of wire! They said it couldn't be done, but I have proven -- it merely shouldn't be done!

Photos don't really capture how ridiculously complicated this thing was to build, so I managed to film myself assembling the components too! Very proud of that.

In total, I've been working on this project on and off for roughly two years. This motor is my third version, though I went through something like seven designs of the commutator section (not counting how many failures it took to build a working example of a given design). I'm very proud of getting this to work at all.

Some close-up photos of all the components:

Six-way commutator. As the motor spins, this delivers electricity to only the correct pair of magnets at a time, leaving the other four off.

Magnet coils. I wound these by hand from very thin insulated wire. The center is a spiral of thicker insulated wire (darker orange) that protects the thin stands from the steel core and then wraps around the outside to hold everything in place.

Spring-loaded arms. These deliver electricity from the stationary frame into the rotating axle. They also have to hinge up out of the way or else there's no room to fit the rotor in place during assembly.

All the components laid out together before assembly.

And the full motor in all its glory!
