NEVER BE GAME OVER!!! I’m so excited that Solid Snake is coming back to Smash, and David Hayter’s reprising his role! I bet Otacon would be excited too!
i haven’t seen any noise about this on tumblr yet, but a fire has completely wiped out a small town in california.
they’re calling it the camp fire. over 20,000 residents have been evacuated so far, the last area estimates i heard were over an hour ago at 18,000 acres and its still zero percent contained.
this is the smoke from about 18 miles away from the fire three hours ago. if you know anyone near chico, paradise, oroville or durham california you might want to check they’re okay
UPDATE: 4PM FRI NOV. 9, 2018
the fire has completely walked over paradise, magalia, and much of the rest of butte county. it’s under 10% containment and moving towards chico, which was been mostly evacuated as well. it’s been documented as one of the top 20 deadliest fires seen in california. i know many of the people personally whose lives have been destroyed by this fire. my aunt and uncle’s home, of whom we’re very close to, was demolished last night, same goes for family friends and others who lived in paradise– which is completely gone. there are 5 confirmed deaths, several dozen missing people.
EVACUATION SITES STILL OPEN AS OF 1 HOUR AGO:
Butte County Fairgrounds (199 E Hazel St, Gridley, CA 95948)
Yuba-Sutter Fairground (442 Franklin Ave, Yuba City, CA 95991)
Glenn County Fairgrounds (221 E Yolo St, Orland, CA 95963)
Chester Memorial Hall (22 Gay Street, Chester)
HOW TO HELP/DONATE:
“Currently the best way to contribute is to make a monetary donation via the North Valley Community Foundation website.” -abc7news.com
“Supplies: Hope Center in Oroville (1950 Kitrick Ave Ste. A) is taking donations. Hours: Friday and Saturday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Sunday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Needs: warm clothes, shoes, socks, coats (primarily for elderly residents).” -abc7news.com
the majority of those affected by the fire in paradise were elderly people. and having known paradise and magalia myself for years, it’s not a wealthy part of california. these people will need help, and lots of it.
if you have any questions, you can message me personally or seek information online or from the above references personally.
if you cannot help yourself, please spread the word and reblog. so many wonderful people are going through a terrible thing and need your help.
Photon-packing generalist photographer with a penchant for weird and surreal forms of light.
I’ve photographed hundreds of glowing
flowers since 2014 after seeing Oleksandr Holovachov’s work with
ultraviolet-induced visible fluorescence (UVIVF) photography.
Each time I do a set of UVIVF photos, it
starts with going out under the cover of darkness to snatch
unsuspecting flowers growing around the neighborhood. I rarely know what
to expect from a flower before I get it back to shoot. Some I think
will dazzle end up flopping, and others I am surprised by their colors
or light. Every one is a surprise!
In the same way a tee-shirt blue glows
under a black light, most organic material glows at least a little with
UV stimulation and in all kinds of colors. To make the most of it, I
make sure I’m working in the darkest environment I can and use a 365nm
light so the camera can’t see the UV light.
Any time the flowers are hit by
sunlight, they’re letting off their own glow in response and it’s simply
overwhelmed by the sunlight we can see. These photos capture something
we always see, but never can observe. More info: cpburrows.com|| H/T Bored Panda
