So, uh

Sam Neill passed away.

A lot of people know him as Dr. Grant from Jurassic Park, but Sam Neill has an incredible catalogue of film and television, stretching back to 1975 on the big screen, but he cut his teeth in university productions of Shakespearean dramas.

All this to say, Sam Neill never let himself get pigeonholed as an actor. He was an incredibly versatile actor with a plethora of roles and genres to his name.

And that's not even touching upon his interests outside of acting. He was a passionate vintner (of the Two Paddocks winery) and an outspoken environmentalist who frequently spoke out against political policy that negatively affected indigenous peoples in Australia and New Zealand.

Jurassic Park is an incredible film, and I know many people have fond memories of the original trilogy.

Knocked out by too much nectar? It can happen to the best of us.

Buff-tailed bumblebee/Bombus terrestris/mörk jordhumla. Värmland, Sweden (12 July 2026).

Actually, she was doing more than fine. She was busy collecting pollen and packing it into the specialised "pollen baskets" (corbiculae) on her hind legs. She was soon on her way again, as you can see in the final picture:

the tierhilfe belarus (link 1 facebook / link 2 instagram) is trying to help find patchouli, karlo and cashew urgently a new home. these three sweet floofs are located in the state-run kill shelter in minsk.

if you are located in germany and wish to adopt a cat, please consider them.

patchouli is:

cat-friendly

karlo is:

cat-friendly

once approved for adoption, they will travel directly to germany fully vaccinated, microchipped, neutered, and tested for fiv/felv. there is an adoption fee to help support the costs of medicine, transportation and the work the volunteers do.

again, i'm more than willing to help with the adoption fee if there is true interest in adopting them.

The kingly pig looks taken aback by this statement. "You claim to be 'baiting' our kind?.. A master of it, no less - after all the trust we hsve placed in you?"
