Is the Earth smoother than a billiard ball??

You may have heard at some stage that “If the Earth was shrunk down to the size of a billiard ball, it would actually be smoother”. If you haven’t heard it before, well, welcome to the group!

Billiard balls are pretty darn smooth and according to the World Pool-Billiard Association have a tolerance of +/- 0.0127 cm. Essentially, this means that a ball must not have any bumps or indentations greater than 0.127mm- which is about the width of a strand of hair.

If I thought I could handle it, I would 100% own a Newfie, they are the bestest. 

As it is, I show my love of Newfies by not attempting to own one in my current situation. :D

The eerie Bloodybelly Comb Jellyfish

Brilliant and seemingly glowing, the bloodybelly comb jelly comes in different shades of red but always has a blood-red stomach. The sparkling display on the outside comes from light diffracting from tiny transparent, hair-like cilia. These beat continuously, propelling the jelly through the water. [X]

x Fingers Crossed x

My piece for Light Grey Art Lab’s show Never Odd or Even on the theme of duality and paradox. I chose to illustrate how the fingers crossed hand gesture can be used both in a positive way, to wish good luck, and more negatively, to indicate that you’re lying.

Prints are available in the LGAL shop, and you can check out all the pieces from the show here!

I have been here, multiple times!  By referring to the order as a “Little Rosa”, you don’t have to make as big a deal out of the fact that you’re seeking help.

And believe it or not, it gets better. Rosa’s also gives out sweatshirts to the homeless (or sells them to the general public) that has information on local soup kitchens and even computer training in the area, on an insert sewn inside the sweatshirt.

Reblogged again for these excellent details.

Also you can buy slices for the homeless through their online store, from anywhere, not just PA!

[caedons]

here is the link for anyone who wants to buy slices for the homeless

[pardonmewhileipanic]

thank you for the comment about buying online! I am in canada but would love to help

PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST

[lexxerduglas]

Tis the season!

[pinkcolts]

The link still works cos I donated $5 aka 5 slices the other day! So if you have a spare dollar please think about it!

I know what it’s like to be homeless and actually I was homeless in PA, so this really hit close to home for me personally. I’m thankful for every bit of help my family has ever gotten and even though I still worry about bills etc, I give back whenever I can. No amount is too small. Sounds cliche but it is the truth.

No amount of kindness is ever turned away ok. Aight. Lemme get off my soapbox.

There’s this women’s shelter down the street from here that I used to live in and honestly many of the women have children to feed so if you have a spare dollar or anything, try to donate!!
