Leland Stottlemeyer mentions that his mother is watching his kids in an episode from 2004 but then it gets mentioned in the movie from 2023 that his mother has been dead for 37 years. To me that is not a continuity error, it is the basis of my new headcanon that Leland has two mothers

sharona and monk are such a hilariously strange iteration of the mid-aughts buddy cop duo like. she’s financially dependent on him. she’s psychologically terrorizing him. he’s a terrible boss. she’s a terrible nurse. they’re canonically toxically codependent and can’t leave each other. they have so little romantic chemistry there are only 2 fics shipping them on ao3 (despite them being, you know, cop partners on a long-running procedural show). they are, oddly enough, pretty decent coparents

guys i’m being so serious rn when i say there are theories going around in the fandom that since eddie’s current arc takes inspiration from vertigo that marisol (the ex nun) is going to scare the shit out of kim (the second coming of shannon) so much so that she will fall of whatever high place she finds herself in…

and i’m telling y’all rn if this theory comes intro fruition that i will be DECEASED bc this weewoo show of ours has finally taken it too far and i will not be able to take that sht seriously, it’s too funny i cannot

Once on the brink of extinction, rare Mediterranean monk seal populations are rising, thanks to conservation efforts.

The Hellenic Society for the Study and Protection of the Monk Seal, known as MOm, is a charity dedicated to the care and protection of these rare marine animals.

Nearly half of the world's estimated 800 Mediterranean monk seals live in Greek waters, where the extensive coastline offers an abundance of sea caves that provide shelter for females to rear their young.

The rare seals are the only seal species in the Mediterranean. They have big, round eyes, prominent whiskers and are remarkably fast in the water...

In the twentieth century, habitat deterioration and destruction, as well as deliberate aggression from fisherman has caused a drastic population decline, prompting the International Union for Conversation of Nature (IUCN) to classify them as 'critically endangered'.

The population had decreased so dramatically that at one point the species faced extinction.

Pictured: Panagis is one of dozens of monk seals nursed back to health by the Hellenic Society for the Study and Protection of the Monk Seal, known as MOm.

How conservation efforts are changing their fate

Dr Alexandros Dendrinos, a marine biologist and coordinator at MOm, explains that the Mediterranean monk seal is "one of the rarest species of seal and marine mammal in the world."

"To protect an animal like the Mediterranean monk seal in its natural environment, you essentially have to protect the entire marine ecosystem,"

MOm is the only centre of its kind in the region, and has cared for around 40 seals both on location and at its facilities.

They respond to members of the public who find an animal in distress, aiding adult seals on-site when possible and bringing young seals, like Panagais, to the rehabilitation centre at Attica Zoological Park in Athens.

The young seals receive veterinary care, specialised nutrition, and swimming practice. 

They are often named after those who found them, but human interaction is kept minimal to ensure their successful reintegration into the wild.

Once they have reached a healthy weight and developed natural hunting instincts, they are tagged for tracking and reintroduced to their natural habitat.

"This year, we had a really pleasant surprise," Dr Dendrinos shared.

A female seal they rehabilitated and released four years ago was recently spotted nursing her own pup.

Conservation efforts have yielded significant results as the species moved from critically endangered to endangered on the IUCN Red List and, in 2023, improved even further to vulnerable.

I will watch all the pilots of this fall season, so you don't have to…

Tv show:  High Potential

synopsis:

Morgan, a single mom with three kids and an exceptional mind, helps solve an unsolvable crime when she rearranges some evidence during her shift as a cleaner for the police department. When they discover she has a knack for putting things in order because of her high intellectual potential, she is brought on as a consultant to work with a by-the-book seasoned detective, Karadec. Together they form an unusual and unstoppable team.

My two cents:

If you enjoy procedural cop shows with a genius quirky consultant like Monk, Elementary or Castle, then this might be your new favorite tv show. Refreshingly, this time it features a woman in the lead role. However, if this genre isn't your cup of tea, you might want to steer clear.

The pilot episode felt a bit rushed, but there's definite potential. I'll continue watching, hoping for more comedic moments. Kaitlin Olson deserves a shout-out for her amazing portrayal; she effortlessly blends dramatic and comedic elements, clearly poised to carry the show.

Where to Watch:

US: ABC or Hulu

Others Countries: unawares for the moment

[speedygal]

YAY! Woohoooo!

Way to go fandom for recommending this show online and offline to people! I guess describing it as Monk and Psych resurrected together into one show really does help make a difference in getting people interested and give it a chance.

I wish I could like shows a normal amount I want to be able to project them from my head and into others so they see it too
