10/10 A+ 100%. I feel terrible.

does anyone want to do book club* with me this year

*book club in this case refers to: we just read whatever we want on no schedule and then tell the other(s) about it. the only thing you do have to do is refer to book club in the third person, for example if i read piranesi i would say "book club finished piranesi and it is now imprinted on book club's soul forever" and the rest of book club would say cool thanks or ask for more info or maybe talk about it. and that's book club.

okay we're doing BOOK CLUB it will work like this:

tagging everyone who liked this post just so y'all can see but again i must reiterate that book club is for everyone, we are all book club. you don't have to follow anyone else or anything i literally just want to collect books that myself and other people read. welcome to book club.

@minotaurust @lizziemcguire @allofthepretty @genuflecting @neo-persephone @desert-dyke @ferretrade

bc i love making lists i made a very simple book club spreadsheet just in case anyone wants to see what we've been reading at a glance. this is not meant to track # of books read or # each person read but rather just collate all of them and mark if anyone is reading the same book as anyone else. for sanity's sake im going to stay the only editor for now but if you have a suggestion lmk <3

link to book club tag is here

if you don't care about this but also like tracking your reading, add me on storygraph! @haleyocentrism

Tiger found caged in abandoned home gets second chance at wildlife sanctuary: ‘He seems to be so happy’

The estimated 350-pound tiger was transported to the facility, an affiliate of the Humane Society of the United States, on Wednesday afternoon, and is settling in well, Almrud said. There, he will have the chance to roam in enclosures of up to three acres.

Almrud, who estimates him to be about 2 years old, described the moment he first walked onto the grass at the sanctuary as remarkable.

“It was just amazing to see him walk out on grass and to see him explore and have that freedom of movement,” she said. “It was just such a reward and fulfilling to us.”

Now, he spends his days rolling around the grass in glee, Almrud said.

“He comes right up to the fence every time a staff member is present,” she said. “He seems very amenable to our presence.”

The tiger is eating well – a combination of chicken, humanely raised non-processed beef and whole prey complete with organs and bones. It appears that he was being fed chicken, which is what owners of exotic cats often feed them, but chicken alone does not provide the complete nutrition they need to thrive, Almrud said.

In addition, caregivers are tasked with keeping the tiger mentally stimulated by creating “pretend hunting” games and rotating him through different areas so he has access to new smells and environments to explore.

“He seems to happy and content,” Almrud said. “Our staff is just falling in love with him.”

Simona Kossak (1943–2007) was a Polish scientist, ecologist and environmental activist who dedicated her life to protecting the Białowieża Primeval Forest, the oldest forest in Europe. She was an extraordinary and fascinating personality, known for her close connection to nature and animals. The locals often called her a "witch" because she lived in the seclusion of the forest and seemed to have a special relationship with the animals. Her pet "terror crow" was known for stealing gold and attacking cyclists - an anecdote that is often told. She lived in her small wooden hut, which had neither electricity nor running water, for over 30 years. A lynx occasionally slept in her bed, and a tame wild boar shared her home. Simona Kossak was known not only for her unconventional life, but also for her scientific contributions to nature conservation and her tireless work to protect the Białowieża Primeval Forest. She fought against the destruction of this unique ecosystem and left an important legacy in the field of environmental protection in Poland.

annihilation is soooo good because the biologist is aware that she is an unreliable narrator and also hates it. she WANTS to be completely impartial and objective and just observe everything without influencing any of it. but she cant so instead she omits her name from the entire book to the point where it's almost absurd and completely intentional and splits her journal into "objective" chapters detailing her expedition and "subjective" chapters detailing her memories about her husband. ill never be over you biologist
