d a n c e s w i t h w o l v e s, 1990 🎬 dir. kevin costner 'Killing the soldiers at the river was a good thing. It made me free, and my heart was big to see my friends coming to help me. I did not mind killing those men. I was glad to do it. But the soldiers hate me now like they hate no other. I am more than an enemy to them, I am a traitor. They will hunt for me. They will not give up. And when they find me, they find you, and that cannot happen.' - dances with wolves

A Chilling Comparison

Things creep up on us, often unnoticed.  For instance, we age but it happens so gradually that we don’t really notice until one day when we look in the mirror and wonder who that ol’ hag is and how she got in here.  Winter turns to spring and spring turns to summer while we gain 1-2 minutes of daylight each day, but we don’t really notice it on a day-to-day basis … just one day we realize that…

Bad Newts: Amphibians are in Serious Trouble

My colleagues and I have just had a paper published in Nature, based on our efforts to assess almost all amphibian species for the IUCN Red Lists. The major takeaway messages:

It is a bad time to be an amphibian

Two fifths of all amphibians are threatened with extinction.

Salamanders are the most threatened group; three fifths of all salamanders are threatened with extinction!

Climate change is a major driver of amphibian declines globally

Habitat loss, especially due to agriculture, is a problem for the vast majority of amphibians

Chytrid pandemics have caused and continue to cause catastrophic declines of both salamanders and frogs

Protected areas and careful management are working as strategies! They are actively improving the outlook of some species

As many as 222 amphibian species may have gone extinct in recent times; of those, 185 are suspected extinct but not yet confirmed.

Our paper is Open Access, you can read it here!

Noooo idea what vibes I’m sending that might make a Pro-Lifer follow me but as I just found one I’ll now be issuing a shotgun statement to scare off any others I’ve missed:

I’m pro choice, no one has the right to take away someone’s bodily autonomy.

MOST PERFECT WILD ANIMALS OBI (sold out in a blink, pattern is so rare how lucky is the new owner of this beauty!).

Beautifully handpainted on cream ground, you can see many kinds of beasts found in Japan like:

kurokuma (black bear), kistune (fox), tanuki (raccoon dog), inoshishi (boar), saru (monkey), itachi (weasel)

shika (deer), kiji (pheasant), risu (squirrel), usagi (rabbit)

a black and white beast I am not sure I recognize, maybe a ten (marten), it sure doesn't look like anaguma (badger)?

this obi even has azarashi (seal!!!)

OP paired it with a soft cool tones kimono showing water scenery with water fowl. I would have LOVED a bolder outfit (deep red or true green?), maybe with bamboo grove/trees or toyama (distant mountain) patterns :D

My one and only problem with Tentoo/Rose is that they should have used the other take of the kiss. I am objectively right about this.

"Objectively right" is sort of an understatement

in some au situation i really do believe that if will needed a fake boyfriend, the first friend he'd go to is dustin. and it'd prove to be an entirely well based decision because dustin would approach the theoretical part with all the same thought through preparation he'd put into a science project, and the practical part with all the ardor of an oscar winning acting performance

d a n c e s w i t h w o l v e s, 1990 🎬 dir. kevin costner 'You are the only white man I have ever known. I have thought about you a lot. More than you know... You have always spoken with your heart. And like all of us, you are a free man and can do anything you like. When I look across this fire, I do not see a white soldier. I see only a Sioux named Dances With Wolves. And there is nothing they hate so much as a Sioux.' - ten bears
