family portrait

part of my alderaan au in which cody & obi-wan live on alderaan, working as simple sheepherders in the mountains. they are secretly protecting luke & leia organa and run a rebel waystation along the Path that helps surviving Jedi and rogue clones find safe havens. they are the twin's favorite uncles.

The inhabitants of my fanmade planet Visslell :)!! Which is an extremely windy planet and the final resting place of the Cerean sith Darth Tagium

Vissle can breath from the tube like appendages sprouting from their head and can even use them to create a humming or whistling noise. These noises are utilized in a form of singing which is usually quiet and best enjoyed in silence. Because they are unusually silent listeners the Vissle are noted to be unreactive crowds by performers across the galaxy.

The tube like appendages can also be used as a form of snorkel. While fishing a Vissle may tie rocks to their ankles and wait at the bottom using the tubes to breath. Because these appendages can move independently they are also used to express and even to tap individuals they are friendly with.

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

https://link.springer.com - access to more than 10 million scientific documents: books, articles, research protocols.

popular holotuber spacebomberguy has uploaded a new five hour video essay! it starts as a critique of the new “dress like a senator” fashion line and it’s place in pro-republic clone wars propaganda, before spiraling into a discovery that chancellor palpatine is a sith lord!! reactions on the holonet are mixed, with macewinduofficial declaring the video “necessary viewing for all of coruscant” while anakinskyyyy3534 replied to a link with “TLDW”

I saw a movie yesterday.

For people with anxiety about filing taxes, here’s what things that happen when you make a mistake on your tax return:

- it gets corrected

- you get a letter in the mail either asking for some additional information or a letter showing the adjustment

- you pay the amount (there’s options for payment plans too!) or get a refund

Things that do not happen

- you’re “in trouble”

- you are charged with fraud

- you go to jail

I know that most people are probably just joking/exaggerating when they say a mistake on their return means they get thrown in jail but when I worked with the public I always would encounter people who believed that would happen and they would be panicking about it. So I like to put this out there every year because if I can even prevent one person from feeling that way, it’s worth it
