ancient greek is a very silly language in general but it also had a word for ‘being a little too into horses’ so really the greeks were not that different from us at all

The Javan Stingaree (Urolophus javanicus) has become the first species of marine fish declared extinct in modern times. The IUCN has declared the Javan Stingaree extincted after an assessment led by an international team of scientists.

Stingaree are round rays native to the western Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, with 21 species know to science. The Java Stingaree was known only from a single specimen collected in 1862 from a fish market in Jakarta, Indonesia. In the present, the habitat where this species was known to occur, is heavily industrialised, with extensive, long-term habitat loss and degradation. Researchers carried out new ecological models to understand current distribution and tendency to find out the specie is virtually extinct, likely by the intensive and unregulated fishing, and habitat loss.

I think what I find most attractive about Dark Academia is the amount of unfiltered passion present throughout the whole aesthetic. Its all or nothing, no matter how small a task is; whether writing or painting or studying, or hell, even my morning cup of coffee seems to be deeper and bigger than just a morning routine, its fuel to help me achieve my dreams, a foundation stone for the castle that is the rest of my life.

As someone who struggled for years to find a reason to be passionate, to find a reason to enjoy the little things like my morning cup of coffee, to actually believe I could be more than just a insignificant speck in the vast universe, dark academia has become a lifeline to tether myself to. I didn't believe I would live past 18. Now I'm working toward a career in a field I'm passionate about, and I want to live.
