Red-Billed Hornbill

Their red bill is really eye-catching. Together with that sleek stature, it's a really majestic bird.

Photo taken during my vacation. It was a very chill region. I found these fields very nice and calming.

Once the moon started to be colonized an astonishing thing occurred. As humans began to populate the surface of the moon, inevitably one of these travelers was... a werewolf. As soon as they made their first lunar walk there was a flash of light and heat as the werewolf instantly transformed. Instead of becoming a hairy, snarling creature of murderous frenzy they had become a spectacular being made of both light and void with serene golden eyes. The creature shed it's ruined space suit, unaffected by the lack of atmosphere and heat, floating away with a joyful howl not heard by ears but felt with one's soul...."It turns out that werewolves were always meant to ascend to the moon to become fully transformed. It was truly a curse as the unlucky earth- bound lupine creatures , until recently, had no means of reaching through space to complete the life cycle. No wonder earth werewolves were so filled with rage for thousands of years! Their final form is that of a benevolent celestial being who's role is unknown. They can be found on the moon's surface in deep meditation or floating near settlements, curiously peering at inhabitants. They seem peaceful, with some grand unknowable role among the heavens. Once in a while a Space Werewolf can be observed floating out into the inky black void, howling in the eerie yet heartening way that they do. Where they go, we never know....

TOMORROW WEDNESDAY AUGUST 6TH 2PM PST! This special Space Werewolf ball jointed doll will be available. 15" articulated doll with custom paint and accessories.

I had such a good and successful weekend. And now it's Sunday night... And my mind is ruining everything. Loud music and people just make it worse. I felt so good before going to bed, I was so happy that I felt like that. Maaan.

Btw if you want an example of actually cute and appropriate handling of a baby hippo in an accredited zoo with trained keepers, there’s always Fiona the Hippo at Cincinnati Zoo!

She was born premature and had to be hand raised initially

Fiona felt very safe with her keepers and she would regularly snuggle with them and snooze on their laps. They had to monitor her 24/7 and take feedings in shifts - and it was very uncertain whether she would even survive!

While you might say that it’s hypocritical to support free contact in one situation and not another, this is a situation where free contact was very much okay. They had to support Fiona like this as she was regularly needing medical intervention and needed to be constantly monitored around the clock.

What’s the difference between Fiona and Moo Deng’s situation? Agency and respect. Fiona was never harassed for views or forced into situations she didn’t want to be in.

The content they made with her was showing the process of hand raising a premature baby hippo. Even when they picked her up to put her in her pool she was never madly thrashing to get away.

The goal was always to transition her to be completely hands off and be with her mother Bibi. And her habitat is species appropriate with deep water for swimming in.

She was able to be reintroduced to her mother and grow up engaging in appropriate social behaviours in an enriching and species appropriate habitat.

And she’s now 7 years old and still thriving!

"All monsters must die bloody, and by a hero's hands, and soon," he says over brunch.

He doesn't think it's a rude thing to say in front of a monster. There are no rude things to say to monsters, only rude things monsters say.

"Don't worry," she says between bites, "You're one of the good ones."

"But I am still a monster," I do not say. I do not say that I love my claws and teeth, my prehensile shadow and my glowing eyes. That I cannot imagine giving them up even for survival, that to hide my shadow and trim my claws for them makes me feel diminished. In public I cannot say that I do not wish to be human.

They're progressives, this bunch, even if he carries a hero's banner with its proud history and none of them ask him to put it away. They know there are good monsters, monsters who can speak eloquently and hold the fork right, monsters you can be seen with in public. Some of their best friends are monsters.

They do not know the monster who is invited to brunch knows solidarity with the monster who is not. Believes and understands the monster who is not invited more than the human who does the inviting.

"Isn't that a little harsh?" says a third human, and I have not forgotten I am outnumbered. "We have ways of killing monsters without blood now, painlessly. And, of course, a monster should be allowed to live if it never growls."

He has never seen me growl. Yet how loudly and endlessly I will, when I'm out of earshot. He's talking about killing monsters who cannot stoop to civility, about mother and brother and lover who were never able to mute themselves like me, and does he not know how small a child who can only growl is?

"To growl is not to kill," I say, and all heads turn toward me. It is one of those rude things monsters say.
