Dwemer metalwork doesn’t tend to have organic shapes like this from what I’ve seen but it’s still pretty cool.
for anyone interested in their real origins, these are ‘nail totems’ by Leanne Helin who is a First Nations native woman of Tsimshian descent. She is an artist in the Northwest who hand-engraves these pieces and her work is beautiful. These are available for purchase and her gallery is here. Support First Nations businesses!

“we dont allow hate based on race”

please support the walmart strikers today—they are speaking out against the unfair conditions that walmart employs them in and drawing attention to the wedge driven between economic classes in a capitalist system, and they absolutely deserve to have their voices heard today and every day

Milk is naturally acidic (actually) and thus acts to disrupt the Ph balance of the eye. Not that serious. Except that people who are sticking milk in spray bottles and then carrying them around for hours are usually not also lugging fridges around, so the milk spoils or begins to spoil (since pasteurization only keeps things kosher when it’s in it’s original sealed container). So people then basically spray bacteria into their eyes which IS REALLY NOT GOOD. THIS CAN LEAD TO EYE INFECTIONS.
NOT TO MENTION IT JUST DOESN’T WORK
As advised by both the CDC and the Action Medic Wikia (a collection of groups that attend protests and dispense first aid and first responder care) THIS is the proper protocol for responding to chem weapons:
PREPARE: Do not wear contacts (they trap the pepper spray and can adhere to your eye), stay as unexposed as possible (the less skin showing = the less skin burning), and BRING A WATER BOTTLE WITH A GOOD SQUIRT TOP (you should be able to aim and squirt at a target with it)
1) Stay calm and get away from source - panic only makes things worse, pepper spray hurts a lot but it’s very survivable! Get to somewhere that you can sit down and treat yourself/be treated
2) Rinse, rinse, rinse - Put that squirty bottle to use! Chem weapons attack mucous membranes, so rinse your mouth, nose, and eyes. This may take several rinses until to clear away. Here is a action medic how-to video on doing a proper eye rinse. Even if you don’t ever expect to be pepper sprayed, knowing how to rinse eyes is a great skill to have! Eyes are delicate, and it’s easy to get irritants in there— even around the house (hot sauce, icy hot, tiger balm, meat spices, pepper, lemon juice- not fun!)
3) Hit the showers! - the pepper spray may be out of your eyes, but it’s still in those clothes! Get home and get naked ASAP, touching the least amount of things in your home possible. Stick everything in a plastic bag and toss it (you can try and save it, but thats a lot of work for another day). TAKE SEVERAL COLD SHOWERS. Chem weapons bind to the skin and hot showers will open up those pores, making it feel like you’re getting sprayed all over again. Lather, rinse, repeat and repeat again.
I have been a member of Chicago Action Medical which has existed and been providing medical care at protests and political actions since 2002. We currently have people on the ground in Ferguson and were the main medic collective sending folks down there to train native St. Louis medics.
If you have the ability and proclivity to donate, we currently have a Ferguson fund that is being used to enable medicking to the St. Louis area.
PLEASE STAY SAFE AND TREAT YOUR BODY WELL!
Thanks for the valuable information, shay-something! Help the medics, use water and use your milk for breakfast only!
TO REPEAT: WATER RINSE THAT TEAR GAS BECAUSE MILK IS FOR BREAKFAST ONLY

lol Taylor swift literally is following blogs who are stating they support Darren Wilson and y’all just gonna ignore it because she’s all of a sudden Americas golden child.
THERE HAS BEEN AN AMAZING RESPONSE TO THE SUGGESTION OF A KNITTING AND DONATION DRIVE FOR FERGUSON. I THINK IT WOULD BE GREAT TO GET STARTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. INFO AND GUIDELINES FOR WHAT TO SEND AND HOW UNDER THE CUT!
this post literally has almost 4000 notes and the petition has less than 800 signatures bc you’re all actual garbage just hitting reblog to look good and not actually even reading the things that you’re reblogging or actually doing them and its fucking amazing lmfao
Takes less than a minute for the whole signing process. Trust me if you’re on tumblr you have the time
