for those not in the know, night witches were russian lady bombers who bombed the shit out of german lines in WW2. Thing is though, they had the oldest, noisiest, crappest planes in the entire world. The engines used to conk out halfway through their missions, so they had to climb out on the wings mid flight to restart the props. the planes were also so noisy that to stop germans from hearing them combing and starting up their anti aircraft guns, they’d climb up to a certain height, coast down to german positions, drop their bombs, restart their engines in midair, and get the fuck out of dodge.

their leader flew over 200 missions and was never captured.

how the fuck is this not taught in every single history class ever

Holy fuck

They deserve their name

miaman:

can you imagine

the next time someone asks you if you’re planning on having kids

and you say “no”

and they give that knowing smile and say “you will change your mind, someday”

suddenly a time portal opens up and like 60-year-old version of you sticks their head out and and goes “INCORRECT”

I used to hate it when people said that to me. They still say it to me, but now I get to say “Well, I had to have a cancer-related hysterectomy at 31, so I guess the gods agreed with me, not you.”

The look on their know-it-all judge-y faces after that is *priceless* >:D

katiewoodger: DISNEY HAVE STOLEN MY ARTWORK I don’t know what...

Tue, 09 Apr 2013 10:54:00 -0400

katiewoodger:

DISNEY HAVE STOLEN MY ARTWORK

I don’t know what to do. I am so upset. Can anyone help me?

My painting was created back in 2010, (see it HERE) and since then so many people have expressed their love for it, not just on tumblr, but in many places. At least 9 people had it tattooed on their bodies. It’s one of my favourite images I created at University and I was proud of it in many ways.

Disney have used it on a cosmetics bag HERE (look at the back)
and they have produced a Tshirt HERE with a really similar design clearly modeled from my painting

I’m so mad because I have no chance at getting Disney to do anything about it. I had so much respect for the company and now I am just SO upset and disappointed.

Any help, advice or signal boosting would be amazing. And thank you so much to the kind person who messaged me about this.

Talked to dad, a Disney employee, about this, and this is what he had to say:

1) Disney employees (and not just the art department ones, either) have classes on copyright every year in the hopes of *preventing* things like this happening.

2) Most mass-produced Disney products are not actually produced by Disney, but by licence-holders. Most of those approach Disney with designs/concepts for approval in the first place, not the other way around. So this would not be a case of Disney seeing the design and saying to a cosmetics-bag-making company “Hey, make this for us!” They actually make an effort to look into art to make sure it’s not stolen, but they aren’t psychic — no one can be aware of every piece of art ever made.

3) Because a Disney is very protective of their copyright, they are actually also very protective of the copyright of others. If the artist goes to the Disney (I’m thinking through the consumer products division, here: https://ebizsec.disney.com/ebizsecurity/contactus/contactus.htm?Locale=en ) and can prove that she was the originator of the art (sorry, but that’s how it would go *any*where), then dad thinks chances are quite good that the company that made the purse would be penalised by Disney, as well as be forced to pay the artist reparations.

My personal guess is that someone found the art, thought it was clipart from the original book, put it on a clip-art site, and the artist who made the purse design (who is likely not a Disney employee, just an employee of the licencee who made the purse) got it from there. I’ve seen that sort of thing happen before.

If the original artist is reading this, I hope it helps, and I wish you good luck! :)

I knew this would happen. Plug-club.com has stolen my artwork and is selling it on plugs. Not cool. That is an image that I have used for years as my logo. I will be taking action.

If you see my artwork being sold on other sites, PLEASE let me know! This is my full time job. This is how I support myself. It is not cool when someone tries to capitalize off of MY hard work. Thank you so much!! <3

UGH WHAT THE HECK! :(

archaeology: Pluto’s Gate Uncovered in Turkey A “gate to hell”...

archaeology:

Pluto’s Gate Uncovered in Turkey

A “gate to hell” has emerged from ruins in southwestern Turkey, Italian archaeologists have announced.

Known as Pluto’s Gate — Ploutonion in Greek, Plutonium in Latin — the cave was celebrated as the portal to the underworld in Greco-Roman mythology and tradition.

Historic sources located the site in the ancient Phrygian city of Hierapolis, now called Pamukkale, and described the opening as filled with lethal mephitic vapors.

“This space is full of a vapor so misty and dense that one can scarcely see the ground. Any animal that passes inside meets instant death,” the Greek geographer Strabo (64/63 BC — about 24 AD) wrote.

“I threw in sparrows and they immediately breathed their last and fell,” he added.

Announced this month at a conference on Italian archaeology in Istanbul, Turkey, the finding was made by a team led by Francesco D’Andria, professor of classic archaeology at the University of Salento.

D’Andria has conducted extensive archaeological research at the World Heritage Site of Hierapolis. Two years ago he claimed to discover there the tomb of Saint Philip, one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ.

Founded around 190 B.C. by Eumenes II, King of Pergamum (197 B.C.-159 B.C.), Hierapolis was given over to Rome in 133 B.C.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOLVES AND RAVENS Ravens and...

Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:57:24 -0500

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WOLVES AND RAVENS

Ravens and wolves form social attachments with each other and take huge advantage of each other.

Both animals eat meat. When wolves killed a prey, ravens eat from the left over cadaver and scavenge it. Also, ravens lead wolves to preys or cadavers. The ravens fly and the wolves follow. Ravens also alert wolves to dangers.

They also play with each other. For example the ravens dive at the wolves and then speed away or peck their tails to try to get the wolves to chase them, or wolf cubs chasing after teasing ravens.

Dr. L. David Mech wrote in ‘The Wolf: The Ecology and Behaviour of an Endangered Species’: “It appears that the wolf and the raven have reached an adjustment in their relationships such that each creature is rewarded in some way by the presence of the other and that each is fully aware of the other’s capabilities.”

Also very interesting: Bernd Heinrich wrote in ‘Mind of the Raven: Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-Birds’: “Ravens can be attracted to wolf howls. The wolves’ howls before they go on a hunt, and it is a signal that the birds learn to heed. Conversely, wolves may respond to certain raven vocalizations or behavior that indicate prey. The raven-wolf association may be close to a symbiosis that benefits the wolves and ravens alike. At a kill site, the birds are more suspicious and alert than wolves. The birds serve the wolves as extra eyes and ears.”
