Bastion OST - Setting Sail, Coming Home

I've assumed they do too but I wonder just how involved they get. Do they help out at shelters, food kitchens, build homes, and/or just donate money? Sometimes reporters are only in areas for a little while and if they're only there a night or two, especially if they're in a different time zone than they're used to, just how much can they help? I'd also assume they'd want at least a little publicity from it since it'd not only help those in need, but would help the reporters too and make them seem more human and maybe even somewhat neighborly. *shrugs* I've only seen bits and pieces of Planet Earth so I'm actually not familiar with he polar bear and walrus confrontation and now knowing how it ends I don't feel particularly inclined to look up the apparently unforgettable scene. I guess that's kinda understandable though. If the show's goal is to document nature and all aspects of it, human involvement in anything would sort of sabotage the show's purpose. And if their crew didn't include a vet that's even more reason to leave 'em alone even though that's obviously pretty cruel and hard to watch/witness. *insert obligatory tidbit about survival of the fittest here*

OMM 1: one of the panda twins that was born at the National Zoo (I think it was that one at least..) a couple days ago died today OMM 2: tfw things have happened recently and the lgbt+ thread is already very much so in need of being posted in but you don't have the time or energy to write up anything orz I got really excited at first too but then I read the rest of it and just

Apologies for the double post but it's been over a month and I really want to bring this thread back,, Stephen Hawking recently shared his new theory about black holes. Here's a really nice ELI5 post explaining it in layman's terms. article here: x Recently the sumatran rhino was declared extinct in the wild in Malaysia. In total there are less than 100 sumatran rhinos living in the wild. There is a number of them living in captivity though and one of them is named Harapan. Harapan's currently the only sumatran rhino on display at a zoo and, though not for much longer, is currently the only one in the western hemisphere. He's currently living at the Cincinnati Zoo. Due to the sumatran rhino's low numbers though, before the end of the year he'll be sent to the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Indonesia so he can find a mate. There currently isn't a date for when he'll be leaving the States but the Sanctuary is pushing for it to happen sometime this fall. articles: x x

Two Door Cinema Club - Cigarettes in the Theatre

OMM: I took notes for almost an hour and a half straight today on a really boring topic and I can't believe I forgot how miserable it is to take notes for a long period of time North and South Korea are, as far as I know, still talking and it doesn't look like anything larger's gonna come out of it which is good. North Korea just seems like a ticking time bomb to me so every time they do something I get a little nervous/cautious even though their history is chock full of empty threats. It would be great to have one of their talks result in North Koreans being treated less horribly and more like human beings, but who knows how likely that is to happen since not everything can be solved through talks :/

I wish my memory was better

Dear cat anonymous, We've been over this; one of these times you're gonna lose your favorite mouse for good and we'll never get it back. It already happened once but we had an extra but after this one you're outta luck. Tread carefully small furry one --me

people who talk unnecessarily loud

I wonder if when news crews visit poor/terrorized areas or places recently hit by a natural disaster they aid the people they interview or even just people in the general area like on the news tonight the one guy interviewed a kid that had his right hand and left foot "amputated" by ISIS and because he couldn't go to a hospital his wounds got infected and... they helped him right? They didn't just hear his story and "well, sucks to be you kid. we're gonna go eat at some really fancy restaurant now, have a nice day" and leave right?

oh thank god sorry if I worried you haha Just better safe than sorry y'know? And yeah leaving a young kid with a knife probably wasn't your parents's brightest moment but it's good you're ok! c:

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa, gonna have to stop you there. To preface, I don't really know you. I don't know if you've been lying about your age, or any of the things you said, or etc but regardless of whether or not your words hold any water, I can't not throw my two cents in on this. Assuming you aren't lying, don't do that. Speaking from firsthand experience it doesn't help, and the guilt and paranoia that accompany doing so aren't worth it. You also risk getting an unnecessary infection. Even if they're not visible, living with the scars isn't exactly fun either. Just don't do it. There's healthier coping methods out there like talking to someone, exercising, napping, writing things down, spontaneous showers, holding ice cubes, drawing on yourself, and etc etc. Assuming you're joking or not being serious or whatever, don't do that either. You don't know who will hear you. Though the term's been bastardized by tumblr, you could actually trigger someone by bringing such a thing up. You also might be heard by someone like myself or by someone who, rightfully so, takes things said like that seriously. Or if you meant that in the third way that just occurred to me, ignore what I just said and be more careful when holding sharp objects.

I've never been huge on shipping but I think my favorite pairing is Senritsu with Kurapika from Hunter x Hunter. Kurapika's downward spiral starts around the time he meets Senritsu and I just find it really sweet how, despite not knowing each other that well, they open up to each other about their pasts. And when Kurapika gets upset Senritsu's able to calm him down and bring him back to his senses quickly. They're just really cute and they really balance each other out. I doubt they'll ever be canon but even so, they just suit each other so well that as long as they have more interactions I'll be happy haha.
