Aha yeah everything I've heard about intuitive eating I've discarded because my internal hunger signals are so warped they're not useful or helpful.

For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, "Couldn't be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?"

Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of "hungry" sensations before they get to that point.....

This seems like a good note to come back on, why not

If you’re ever having a shit day, remember that William Laurence once made a failed marriage proposal, got sued for £10,000 and committed an unrelated capital crime all within 24 hours

everyone’s talking about yorgos lanthimos’s directorial genius and rightfully so BUT did anyone else know that the screenplay for the favourite was written twenty years ago by this woman deborah davis who had never written a screenplay before but had just discovered the story of queen anne and sarah and abigail in her work as a historian and become obsessed with it? so she did all this primary source research and went to night school to learn how to write screenplays and she finished her first draft in 1998 and started shopping it around and absolutely no one would finance the film because of the lesbian content and because studios were worried it would be hard to market without a male lead? and it wasn’t until fifteen years later in 2013 that the script came to yorgos and he was invested enough to start looking for funders, and then it wasn’t until this year that they finally put out the movie… literally it was twenty years in the making and all because deborah davis cared enough about this story to spend TWO DECADES revising her screenplay and sending it to producers

This baby sun bear being just a little bit clumsy is the most adorable thing ever! 

Sep 26, 2018

A rare baby sun bear – the first of its kind ever to be born in the UK - has been named Kyra by zookeepers.

The female cub, now 16 weeks old, delighted conservationists when she was born at Chester Zoo in June, not least given the remarkable survival story of her parents who were rescued from illegal wildlife traders in Cambodia.  

Mum Milli and dad Toni were ripped from the wild by poachers when they themselves were cubs and kept as mistreated pets. After being discovered in very poor states and nursed back to health by conservationists working for the Free The Bears organisation in Cambodia, the duo was then transferred to the UK, first to the Rare Species Conservation Centre in Kent and then to Chester Zoo to complete their recovery. Now, despite Milli and Toni’s troubled start to life, the pair has had a healthy baby girl and zoo staff say the trio is doing fantastically well. Keepers chose the name Kyra as it means ‘sun goddess.’

Sun bears are the smallest of the world’s eight species of bear and are listed as vulnerable to extinction on the International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of threatened species.

Their demise is a result of widespread habitat loss to make way for palm oil plantations, human-wildlife conflict, hunting and the illegal wildlife trade.

Chester Zoo has joined forces with illegal wildlife trade enforcement agencies, the UK government, and zoos across UK and Ireland to tackle the illegal wildlife trade, which is threatening the future of species such as the sun bear. Experts hope that the new worldwide campaign will inspire the public to report offences when they see or suspect them via Wildlife Witness, a free smartphone app, and Chester Zoo’s own Report It form.
