Let’s have a round of appaws for sea otters—our favorite fuzzy ecosystem engineers—on this World Wetlands Day! A recent study took a look at our landmark sea otter rehabilitation program and how it has supported the recovery of southern sea otter populations and the ecosystems they inhabit.
The reintroduction of rehabilitated otters into Elkhorn Slough resulted in the rapid resurgence of eelgrass meadows, a really important habitat for juvenile fishes, which also provides significant benefits in the fight against climate change. What an otterly pawsitive influence!

INFORMATION I WAS NOT PREPARED TO LEARN. MAYBE WE *ARE* ALONE. BECAUSE WE ARE SO *EARLY*. IF THERE IS EVER GALACTIC CIVILIZATION THEY WILL NOT REMEMBER US AT ALL. BECAUSE WE ARE NOTHING. CELLS, JUST BEGINNING TO FORM LIFE. SORRY FOR SCREAMING. BUT ARE YOU LISTENING. ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT IT.
This is definitely not a google drive full of the sleep stuff from the Headspace app, including sleepcasts, music, and wind down meditation, that normally costs 17.99 a month, no siree and you definitely shouldnt share this with people
Please read the whole thing.
Now I will argue that Batman’s motivations (protecting the innocent), level of preparedness, and the fact that he doesn’t kill people, put him miles above the current uniformed fascists charged with maintaining the status quo and protecting property. That being said I think this would be an innovative take on the Batman mythos, and have social commentary guaranteed to piss the wrong people (by which I mean the right people) right off. Personally I’d watch the shit out of that. 😉
Proper boundaries
“Myths are stories about people who become too big for their lives temporarily, so that they crash into other lives or brush against the gods. In crisis, their souls are visible.”
— Anne Carson, “Tragedy: A Curious Art Form” (via venuscomb)
“I would rather be ashes than dust.
I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, ever atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.”
Jack London, 1916.

When people on Tumblr say “Be critical about the media you consume,” it’s important to understand that what they really mean is “Apply a paranoid reading to everything.”
What people don’t get is when you comment on a post on here you’re not talking to an audience or to generalized presence or the void the way you are when making a post on here, you are talking directly to the person who made the post, to me. you are plopping down onto my lap slinging your arms around my neck looking into my eyes and saying whatever you just said bc it is my post and I am the only one getting an alert about it. You are speaking to me. And I’m going to murder you.
i love to quit things and leave situations and end circumstances. like actually i can just go
There is something so beautiful about reaching out to the monstrous with intent to touch it gently. To risk the sharp teeth and the lethal claws, to defy fear and revulsion, and choose to be delicate with something that can be, and often is, incredibly brutal.
Liminal Space: A place of motion and transition. Doorways, arches, gates, crossroads, rest stops on the highway. Borders and roads. Places where the veil is thin.
Proximal Space: "This Side" of the Liminal Space. Comfy bedrooms. Your home town. Holy spaces. Kitchens. Places where the veil is thick.
Distal Space: "Far Side" of the Liminal Space. Frontiers. Destinations. The wilderness, the grave. An amusement park. A mall. A ghost town. A monument. Places where the veil is deep.
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
What we could have had:
TVD S1: Elena (unicorn/hunter), Bonnie (witch), Caroline (vampire), and Hayley (werewolf) [Jeremy, Enzo, Matt, and Tyler, too, I guess] are introduced to the supernatural. We should see their before, origin points, and foreshadowing what's to follow. This season sets the tone and the world rules for all future seasons by establishing lore, dread, and tension; bad things happen but we only see the suggestion of something-not-right. (Keyword: DREAD)
TVD S2: The Mystic Falls Girl Gang versus Katherine and her Salvatore brothers. Katherine, on the run from Klaus but still following his orders, torments Elena and her surviving family (Jeremy, Jenna, Alaric, John, and Isobel). Damon is really leaning into the Dracula thing by killing "his brides" and kills/turns Caroline and attacks Bonnie. Stefan is angsting over his latest binge-feeding and trying to play "human" but not human enough to save the Gang. Klaus should be suggested here. This season is a turning point and the terror of becoming and inevitability. Our monster girls should grow more monstrous, sacrificing their humanity for each other. (Keyword: TERROR)
TVD S3: The Mystic Falls Girl Gang versus the Mikaelsons. Supernatural royalty shows up for what they think is a power-up blood ritual, maybe unlocking their hybrid potential as a family. They were created because their parents feared their inevitable deaths so having the siblings driven to extreme action to escape their timely demise makes sense. (The nuance of obscenely powerful characters consumed and eventually defeated in their quest for more power because they're terrified is delicious.) Also, death to the sad bad boy justification—Klaus isn't a bastard or the only hybrid anymore. Mikael, a viking, had a wife (Dahlia (hunter), the mother of Elijah, Freya, and Finn), a frilla or mistress (Esther (werewolf), the mother of Niklaus and Rebekah), and a thrall or slave (Ayanna (witch), the mother of Kol and Henrik). The women hate Mikael but love their children and seek their immortality with Ayanna's magic and the unicorn's blood—however because they killed the unicorn the consequences are dire creating hunter/vampires, werewolf/vampires, and witch/vampires (siphons) that are more powerful than humans, hunters, werewolves, and vampires because the wlrldbuilding already supports this. Maybe after centuries of in-fighting, Klaus still daggers his siblings because he's still paranoid of any threat to his power—just imagine a defeated Klaus un-daggering Rebekah and Kol and having to admit he was bested by the Mystic Falls Homecoming court. (You're welcome.) Obviously, even with his siblings, the Gang runs them out of town and they flee to New Orleans with the agreement to stay west of the Mississippi River from then on. They still get theor spin-off where they face their parents and eventually reclaim their humanity/mortality. This season should end with the Mystic Falls Girl Gang becoming more monstrous than the monsters they were so against in the beginning amd the horrors they commit after shedding their humanity for each other. Yum. (Keyword: HORROR)
Then their story ends so I don't have to suffer through 8 seasons of bad writing from CW.
Mystic Falls Girl Gang, my beloved. Elena Gilbert, Bonnie Bennett, Caroline Forbes, and Hayley Marshall deserved better! I don't even have the excuse of re-watching TVD/TO/Legacies—it's just living in my head rent-free tonight.
I'm not an asshole, I'm acting like an asshole for reasons.
TVD had the opportunity to make unrepentant antagonists and just...didn't—instead we get more sad boy(TM) #29474792 which is certainly a...decision.
We actually have been trying to sell your info but it's all shit and no one wants it
