2 and a half weeks until JC passes Cactus Jack!

It took me a little bit to figure out what you were referencing, but yes, Jimmy Carter will pass John Nance Garner as the longest-living President or Vice President in American history on September 18th. And if he is still with us on October 1st, Carter will be the first President or Vice President in American history to celebrate their 99th birthday.

Discharge Petition for H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964

Record Group 233: Records of the U.S. House of RepresentativesSeries: General Records

This item, H.R. 7152, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, faced strong opposition in the House Rules Committee. Howard Smith, Chairman of the committee, refused to schedule hearings for the bill. Emanuel Celler, Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, attempted to use this discharge petition to move the bill out of committee without holding hearings. The petition failed to gain the required majority of Congress (218 signatures), but forced Chairman Smith to schedule hearings.

88th CONGRESS. House of Representatives No. 5 Motion to Discharge a Committee from the Consideration of a RESOLUTION (State whether bill, joint resolution, or resolution) December 9, 1963 To the Clerk of the House of Representatives: Pursuant to Clause 4 of Rule XXVII (see rule on page 7), I EMANUEL CELLER (Name of Member), move to discharge to the Commitee on RULES (Committee) from the consideration of the RESOLUTION; H.

Fire-prone ecosystems can recover quickly from even the most intense fire. In this region, which is dry and nutrient-poor, 45% of plant species exhibit seed dormancy - a strategy that allows a plant to control germination timing to avoid germinating in harsh and unfavourable conditions. Of those dormant seeds, 78% have a specific type of dormancy called physical dormancy. This is where seeds will lie dormant in the soil seed bank for years, sometimes decades, until an environmental cue breaks that dormancy and triggers germination - in most cases, that cue is very hot fire.

Reference (open access): Collette, J. C., & Ooi, M. K. J. (2021). Distribution of seed dormancy classes across a fire-prone continent: Effects of rainfall seasonality and temperature. Annals of Botany, 127(3), 613–620. https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mcaa203

Puerto Rican Rock Art, Part 2

Hello and welcome to part 2 of my Puerto Rican Rock Art project! I will mostly be talking about Cueva Lucero (pictured above). I may mention other caves as well, just because there aren't many papers written about this specific cave. There are many others since about 81% of rock art found on the island is found in caves (Dubelaar 1994). I imagine it's just easier to talk about all the caves as a whole since they were all used similarly.

Cueva Lucero can be found in Juana Diaz in Puerto Rico. (Not from references).

However, due to fears of vandalism, the cave's exact location isn't listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In this same form, Cueva Lucero is deemed as important due to all the art found in it, this art shows us a part of the past we could have never seen without it. It is thought to be a place of religion or as a ceremonial site (Rodriguez et al, 2008). This cave was used around 600-1500 C.E., and represents mostly pre-Hispanic times and contains around 100 rock art images. That makes itself one of the best examples of pictographs in Puerto Rico (Rodriguez et al, 2008). While it has plenty of pictographs, it has petroglyphs as well.

The difference between petroglyphs and pictographs are that one is painted, and one is carved imagery. I included an example above.

There are three different types of landscapes that both these styles show up in:

A. Caves and rock shelters on the coast, created by the waves.

B. Caves and rock shelters found in the mountains.

C. Riverbanks and riverbeds.

As well, Puerto Rico has an extra type:

D. The petroglyphs found in Puerto Nuevo. They are engraved in flat sandstone ledge that run parallel to the coast (Dublelaar 1994). Pictured below.

Rock paintings found in Puerto Rico can be monochrome, bichrome and polychrome (Dubelaar 1994). They also can be found in a couple colors as well. Red, white, orange and black were most commonly used (Hayward et. al., 2009).

Cueva Lucero falls under type B, has most, if not, only monochrome paintings. Most are painted using the color black.

Here, you also see a lot of circles being used in their art. Obviously, using circles so much does suggest that the shape has importance for the community (Fewkes 1903). It can be seen as a sign of unity, which, is found in many other indigenous communities. Here are some examples of circle art found in Cueva Lucero.

Lots of circles.

That is about it for this cave. Cueva Lucero holds valuable knowledge about the past. Without it, the other caves, we wouldn't have been able to obtain as much knowledge from our Taino ancestors as we do now. This goes to show, these old paintings and carvings, sites we find on the island (sites where people lived, hunting sites), are vital to understanding our history.

All photos (unless otherwise stated) are pictures from Cueva Lucero. All but the very first photo are from Rodriguez et al. 2008.

Since Dark Crisis was a massive critical and financial failure when do you think we can realistically expect a new YJ book (or Teen Titans book staring them)

Okay, I will explain my reasoning under the cut, but my guesstimate would be around 2 years post-Dark Crisis: Young Justice before getting something new featuring them—whether it be Teen Titans or Young Justice though, I could not say.

Now, rather than just pulling a number out of my ass, my immediate response to getting this question was to look at publishing patterns/trends when it came to Young Justice and Teen Titans books.

I was using cover date information from the DC wiki for this, so not the most foolproof/precise data set in the world, but enough to give me a general idea.

The first thing I wanted to look at was, more broadly, what sorts of gaps there were with NO Teen Titans or Young Justice book since those teams came to be.

This is because presently, while we do have a Titans book, we do not have a Teen Titans book. As much as those are obviously related, they do serve/feature characters of different demographics, so I was looking specifically at the things categorized as 'Teen'.

The only exception to this is The New Teen Titans Vol. 2 because the book remains with the same team but switches names to 'The New Titans' partway through—it wasn't a relaunch of the book with an older team though, just a rebrand/name change as the characters had aged. It is still widely considered the same run, so I felt separating it (when we're talking about DC's publishing standpoint) didn't make sense.

ANYWAYS, their run years are as follows:

Teen Titans Vol. 1: 1966-73, 1976-78

The New Teen Titans Vol. 1: 1980-84

The New Teen Titans Vol. 2: 1984-96

Teen Titans Vol. 2: 1996-1998

Teen Titans Vol. 3: 2003-2011

Teen Titans Vol. 4: 2011-2014

Teen Titans Vol. 5: 2014-2016

Teen Titans Vol. 6: 2016-2021

Teen Titans Academy: 2021-2022

As is perhaps evident, the only gaps are between 1974-1975 (hiatus during Teen Titans Vol.1), 1979 (between Teen Titans Vol. 1 & New Teen Titans Vol. 1), and 1999-2002 (between Teen Titans Vol. 1 and Teen Titans Vol. 2).

The largest of those being four years (1999-2002)... but those years are covered by Young Justice's initial run!

The Young Justice runs (in main continuity, not counting tie-ins for the cartoon) are as follows:

Young Justice Vol. 1: 1998-2003

Young Justice Vol. 3: 2019-2021*

Dark Crisis: Young Justice: 2022-2023*

*To reiterate for clarity because I imagine some of you are going 'huh? DC:YJ was 6 issues all in 2022!' I'm using cover dates for consistency with this data—since the final issues of YJ Vol. 3 & DC:YJ each came out late in 2020 and 2022 respectively, their cover dates place them at the start of the next calendar year

So, putting all of that together, that means that ever since DC Comics began publishing Teen Titans books in 1966, the longest period with neither a Teen Titans nor Young Justice book being published was 2 years, between 1974-1975.

However, that doesn't tell the full story to answer your question about when we could expect to see the Young Justice kids again, it's just a helpful gauge about books in their 'teen' character age demographic.

To clairfy: by 'Young Justice' I am (for the sake of answering this question) specifically referring to Tim, Cassie, Bart and Kon since they are the group that moved together between Young Justice and the Teen Titans.

Now, things get a bit tricky trying to quantify 'were they together on a team' at certain points because characters die sometimes for a while (looking at you Kon and Bart), or temporarily leave teams for other assorted reasons—yet even during those periods, they may be plot-relevant to the book/still be associated with it (mostly looking at Kon for that one). Since those are more plot-specific variations but still take the characters into account (rather than just randomly omitting them), I am counting all of the runs in which T/C/B/K were members of the team even if one or more were not there the entire time.

Now, the runs that feature Tim, Cassie, Bart, and Kon are as follows:

Young Justice Vol. 1: 1998-2003

Teen Titans Vol. 3: 2003-2011

Teen Titans Vol. 4: 2011-2014*

Teen Titans Vol. 5: 2014-2016*

Young Justice Vol. 3: 2019-2021

Dark Crisis: Young Justice: 2022-2023

*Obviously, these books take place during the New 52 era, and these are drastically altered versions of the characters—particularly for Kon and Bart because N52 Kon and Bar Torr are entirely separate people. However, when the subject we are discussing is DC's publishing patterns with these characters as IP, these would count as they were the N52/at-the-time equivalents of the characters.

As we can see, the only gap in publishing there is from 2017-2018 (between Teen Titans Vol. 5 and Young Justice Vol. 3). Which, much like the only gap of 'no Teen Titans/YJ book', is 2 years.

Thus, based on these previous patterns of DC's publishing, my guess would be around 2 years post-Dark Crisis: Young Justice before something new with them.

Now, this obviously is not foolproof logic, and DC could easily deviate from this! Comics publishing truly is not the most consistent thing in the world—especially with how nowadays ongoing runs really struggle to last for nearly as long as they used to. I can't predict the future, and I also do not work at DC. Looking at past data is really the only thing someone on the outside can do to try to figure out what may come in the future, so... yeah! That's my guess, and only time will tell.

All I remember about K-C is that Maloney probably gave them to PIE and that I realized POLICE had all the letters of PIE in it when I was designing her years ago and thought I was a genius. Well I just realized that would be vandalism so I made a comic about it on impulse at 4:00 am

Probably gonna clean it up in the morning <3

Case 0 Type P - File 6 - “The Final Battle”

Location: Vanilla Castle - The Chamber of Audiences

Timeline: PET-K

Date: August 1945, 1:13 PM

Subjects Involved: C/E-73 (22), C/E-22, C/E-925, C/L-33, C/A-95, C/A-78, C/A-42(h), C/A-42(c), C/A-32, CM/B-29, CM/H-?

Employee(s) Responding: Croissant Cookie

Timeline Inspection Record Of: The Final Battle - Prologue (No Spoilers Necessary) [Timeline Maintained]

It’s August 1945. The time is a bit past one in the afternoon. 13:13 on a 24-hour clock, if you’re so inclined. And yet, crimson twilight blankets the tranquil skies of the Vanilla Kingdom. As of now, Dark Enchantress Cookie retains occupation of the Vanilla Castle’s main keep as Pure Vanilla Cookie, Hollyberry Cookie, Dark Cacao Cookie, and Golden Cheese Cookie make their way to the Chamber of Audiences: the castle’s ornate throne room. As Dark Cacao Cookie slams open the doors to the final corridor to reveal the hordes of Cake Monsters separating the quartet from Dark Enchantress Cookie, White Lily Cookie runs in behind them, sweeping past Golden Cheese Cookie to tug on Pure Vanilla Cookie’s shoulder. Destiny has arrived, and the battle for the future begins.

With White Lily Cookie’s arrival, everyone nodded their heads silently as they began their approach towards the throne at the end of the seemingly endless hallway. Although last to arrive, White Lily Cookie was the first to break the silence. She knew she was the one that caused all of this, as she contemplated her mistakes and uttered in despair, “This is… Oh no, what a horrible sight.”

“The whole place is covered in Cookie crumbs!” Hollyberry Cookie added, knowing the weight of the coming battle and the casualties suffered by the Vanilla Kingdom’s Royal Guard and civilian population.

Dark Cacao Cookie steadied his nerve and noted the scent of the devastated hallway. His tone was as stern and resolute as it was when he first took on the mantle of king of his own snow-covered kingdom. “Foul sticky cream… The stench of burnt butter in the air…” Clearly the same expired and otherwise undesirable ingredients that came together to make the monsters that made up Dark Enchantress Cookie’s Cake Monster armies.

Golden Cheese Cookie looked at everyone as she flew behind them and thought about the destruction around her, as well as the comments of her friends accompanied by White Lily Cookie’s late arrival, unaware of what transpired regarding White Lily Cookie’s absence and prior interactions with Croissant Cookie, Walnut Cookie, Almond Cookie, and Roguefort Cookie in Lilywhite Space: a dimension named after her since the incident in the Blueberry Yogurt Academy. With nothing else to say and a demand for answers, Golden Cheese Cookie asked everyone in a sharpened tone, “What on Earthbread is going on here?!”

Pure Vanilla Cookie sighed in reply. “It’s not good. Dark Enchantress Cookie has declared war on the Vanilla Kingdom.”

In outrage, Dark Cacao Cookie snapped back. “The Cookie who has brought the Cake Monster army into our lands?”

“Yes. She attacked while I was occupied elsewhere,” Pure Vanilla Cookie said in response.

Hollyberry Cookie, without a chuckle in her voice, responded by saying, “Hah! That’s gotta be some hard flour, for such a brazen strike.”

Without another word from anyone else, Pure Vanilla Cookie rallied everyone towards the end of the corridor. “We must find Dark Enchantress Cookie quickly! Let us make haste!”

As the Five made their way through the corridor, Croissant Cookie’s Timecraft silently flew in through a shattered window at the end of the hall, landing behind a large pillar next to Dark Enchantress Cookie. Quiet as a mouse in a warzone, the four Cookies aboard disembarked from the time machine to ensure that White Lily Cookie had made it to the others safe and sound. Croissant Cookie was the first to break the silence, her voice safely muffled from anyone else by the ambient noise of war. “We made it. Does anyone see White Lily Cookie?”

Walnut Cookie looked down the hall and back at Croissant Cookie. “No sign of her or the others yet. Just at least a dozen Cake Hounds from what I’ve seen in several weekend horror movies.”

Roguefort Cookie’s patience was growing thinner by the minute. They were originally there to recover a pocket watch, not to fly straight into the heart of the Dark Flour War. Ever the opportunist, they whispered to Croissant Cookie, “Why don’t we just mount our own ambush right here? We’re in a prime position, and completely hidden from her sight. We could finish that thief off right here before she can do anything else.”

Almond Cookie sighed softly and constantly, first at Walnut Cookie’s horror movie comments, then to Roguefort Cookie’s suggestion. “And how exactly would you describe your plan here? Unlike you or the Ancient Heroes, we’re seriously unequipped to challenge a prominent Black Magic user to any extent. And although you may consider yourself a cunning rogue, you’re still a Cookie in our group. If you make a mistake in your own attempt to ambush her, everyone’s safety here would be in serious jeopardy because you compromised the security of our position.”

Pulling Roguefort Cookie aside by the arm, Croissant Cookie stared them in the eyes and delivered her own ultimatum. “Okay Roguefort Cookie, listen up. We are NOT to interact with anyone or anything here if White Lily Cookie appears as planned, as per the mission. That also includes the possibility of attacking Dark Enchantress Cookie, no matter how much I want to fight her as much as you do for the number of anomalies and trouble she’s given us rivaled by other notorious time-jumping outlaws. The dropkick in the dining room that happened earlier only happened because we were in the present era and because pre-calculated physics and trajectory in relation to the time rift opened in the dining room ceiling- which I used to get to that location to respond to prior intelligence regarding a stolen Class II Relic- allowed me to make that entrance. Not to mention, if you were to crumble her in the past at this very moment, our timeline would change dramatically with no known projected outcome. Literally anything could happen as a result of this, even if roaming TBD agents were to immediately arrive on-site to arrest you the instant afterwards. Some of us- including you- might not even exist as a result, so stick to the plan and stay here. The Ancient Heroes will take care of the rest.”

Roguefort Cookie was about to argue back at Croissant Cookie when a loud “OUTTA MY WAY!” from Hollyberry Cookie followed by the sound of heavy metallic clanging sounded through the hall, sending a horde of infernal Cake Hounds flying in the group’s general direction. One of them even managed to sweep Roguefort Cookie’s legs mid-flight, sending them into the floor as the Cake Hound started growling at them. Covering its mouth as they got back up, Roguefort Cookie knew there was no other way out as they stuck it out towards the others like a stack of dirty dishes. “Point taken. Now then, somebody please take this Hound off my hands before it sells us all out.”

Thinking fast, Walnut Cookie snatched the Cake Hound from Roguefort Cookie and threw it into the Timecraft where it stopped growling and started rolling over on the back seat. “There was no other option, we have to keep it quiet so everyone else doesn’t see us!” Walnut Cookie then pointed to the five Ancients as they approached Dark Enchantress Cookie in front of the castle’s throne, thoroughly lined with dark roots and covered in melting frosting and red cake batter.

As the Ancient Heroes approached the far end of the throne room next to where Croissant Cookie’s group was hiding, a tense standoff began. Dark Enchantress Cookie looked down from her lofty position atop her floating staff to see who dared to challenge her, monologuing to her challengers, “And so, upon the ruins of your home, we finally meet. You’re rather late… to your own demise!”

“Dark Enchantress Cookie! What is the meaning of this?” Pure Vanilla Cookie said defiantly.

“Do you know the real reason why we, Cookies, were created?”

Cutting off Dark Enchantress Cookie in her opening statement, Golden Cheese Cookie looked down- no- at equal height towards Dark Enchantress Cookie, asking her in a quite annoyed tone, “What rancid NONSENSE are you peddling now?”

“Now, now,” Dark Enchantress Cookie said, continuing to push her point. “THINK for a moment. I hope it’s not too hard. Why do we exist?”

Hollyberry Cookie spoke up to answer the question: “That’s easy—to live and be happy, all together! That’s exactly why we were brought into this world. Happiness, Dark Enchantress Cookie. That’s what it’s all about.”

“Oh, really?” Dark Enchantress Cookie asked in a calm yet steady response. “And when, pray tell, are you the happiest? When you fall down and crumble? Or when you become—dare I say it… Ha Ha Ha! SOGGY!”

“We are together, in peace and in battle.” Dark Cacao Cookie responded, sword at the ready. “This is our strength!”

“So true!” Pure Vanilla Cookie concluded, “We love and thank our Creators for our deliciously sweet bodies and unique talents! And there is no hardship we cannot overcome. Together!”

Although points were made on both sides of the room, Dark Enchantress Cookie closed herself off from her opponents, effectively knocking herself out of the debate. “RUBBISH! FOOLS! All of you! I shall show you the tragic error of your ways—right here, right now!” As she finished her last sentence, the room began to violently shake, allowing Dark Enchantress Cookie’s Cake Witch to plow straight through the walls of the throne room to reveal itself as the Madoka Magica-looking Witch it was. And floating at its palm, Dark Enchantress Cookie began her attack, charging energy into a beam to wipe them all out.

“The Cake Witch is channeling energy,” Pure Vanilla Cookie told his friends. “We must use the pause to avert her next attack!” Thinking quickly, he cast a barrier around everyone to block out the dark energy laser.

Rebounding from the laser, White Lily Cookie encouraged her teammates. “Listen, we can win this battle…!”

With the battle now in full swing, Croissant Cookie turned to everyone as the floor behind her and the rest of her group collapsed. “Okay then…! This is our cue to evacuate quickly and discreetly. NOW…!”

“Why, this encounter is getting quite interesting~!” Roguefort Cookie replied. “Do we really need to leave?”

“Yeah, we should get outta here before we get caught in the crossfire,” Walnut Cookie said as she boarded the Timecraft with everyone else. “This isn’t our fight, and it doesn’t take a detective to say that jumping in right now to perform your own heroics with them would definitely result in getting you crumbled! Now get in, Phantom Bleu! Get in before your legacy comes to a dishonorable end!”

“Tsk- fine. If you insist, little detective.” Roguefort Cookie begrudgingly climbed into the Timecraft with everyone else, watching Croissant Cookie enter the temporal coordinates of TBD HQ. And as the engine began to spin again, the Cake Witch began to falter from the Ancients’ combined strength. Dark Enchantress Cookie reeled forward in rage as it did.

“GAH!!! HOW DARE YOU!!! NOTHING CAN STOP ME! ESPECIALLY YOU!”

Trying to ward Dark Enchantress Cookie away from her own wrath, Pure Vanilla Cookie screamed, “Dark Enchantress Cookie, NO!”

But it was to no avail. The Cake Witch’s blade descended upon the Ancients, creating a blast that sent the nearby Timecraft spinning into the air and out of control. The Ancient Heroes fell to their knees as their Soul Jam floated over to Dark Enchantress Cookie. With a maliciously evil laugh, Dark Enchantress Cookie celebrated her perceived victory, “YES! Ha Ha Ha! Simply marvelous! Say goodbye to your Soul Jam. IT’S ALL MINE! I have waited an eternity for this moment. It is time to reap the fruits of my promise and share my brilliant vision with the world.”

The battle seemed lost. The Heroes faltered and their Soul Jam taken, and yet, Pure Vanilla Cookie got back up. Casting a barrier over everyone else, he ran back into the fray towards his foe, casting his own magical beam to counter her’s. The struggles intensified on both sides, the other Ancients and the Timecraft’s crew watching intently. Approaching ever closer to see Dark Enchantress Cookie’s face within a magical orb conjured by their struggle, Pure Vanilla Cookie soon recognized her smile and who Dark Enchantress Cookie really was.

Meanwhile Croissant Cookie prepared the machine’s thrusters to begin their time jump. “Brace yourselves! Commencing time jump to the Time Balance Department, 12/25/2020, in three… two… one…” …but her countdown never finished. Nearby, the magical orb expanded as the Soul Jam began to splinter and shatter into countless tiny fragments. Shortly after, a rattling explosion overtook everything and everyone in close vicinity of the Vanilla Castle. The Timecraft was thrown away into the time portal it created in a completely different direction away from their intended destination, its crew screaming either in thrills or horror. In the wake of the massive explosion, the heroes and Dark Enchantress Cookie vanished. Dark forces overtook the kingdom, crumbling the land’s civilizations away bit by bit. Stories of these grand kingdoms and their heroes faded into obscurity.

Meanwhile, the Timecraft was undertaking a time jump that had been interfered with in the wake of the Vanilla Castle’s explosion. The time machine sped uncontrollably through the time streams with everyone on board. “THIS HAS GONE FAR ENOUGH. FIND AN EXIT ALREADY!” Almond Cookie yelled as the time machine soared through the depths of space-time.

“I’M TRYING… THERE! Hang onto something, this is gonna be a rough landing…!” Piloting the Timecraft through the nearest exit rift, Croissant Cookie took the machine into a dive as it scraped against the foreign ground they found themselves in. Not the cleanest landing, but a landing nonetheless. Once the Timecraft came to a complete stop, she asked, “We’ve stopped. Is everybody okay? Did we lose someone while we went through the time streams?”

“Nope, the gang’s all here,” said Walnut Cookie, still holding a now docile infernal Cake Hound as it licked her. “Even this Cake Hound that found our hiding spot is still here. But now comes my next question concerning our situation: Where on Earthbread are we?!”

Roguefort Cookie responded, “What you should be asking, little detective, is when in time are we?!”
