Beautiful Bengal Cat Suki Adds Magic With Her Dazzling Sea Blue Eyes Against Nature

Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have been “walked” to where they are displayed.

Maori told Europeans that kiore were native rats and no one believed them until DNA tests proved it

Until they finally payed closer attention to local songs and legend that all essentially said “Yah the Goddess Nanda Devi got mad and sent huge heave stones down to kill them”. That was consistent with huge contusions found all on their neck and shoulders and the weather patterns of the area, which are prone to huge & inevitably deadly goddamn hailstones. https://www.facebook.com/atlasobscura/videos/10154065247212728/

“Inuit traditional knowledge was critical to the discovery of both ships, she pointed out, offering the Canadian government a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when Inuit voices are included in the process.

In contrast, the tragic fate of the 129 men on the Franklin expedition hints at the high cost of marginalising those who best know the area and its history.

“If Inuit had been consulted 200 years ago and asked for their traditional knowledge – this is our backyard – those two wrecks would have been found, lives would have been saved. I’m confident of that,” she said. “But they believed their civilization was superior and that was their undoing.”

“Oh yeah, I heard a lot of stories about Terror, the ships, but I guess Parks Canada don’t listen to people,” Kogvik said. “They just ignore Inuit stories about the Terror ship.”

Schimnowski said the crew had also heard stories about people on the land seeing the silhouette of a masted ship at sunset.

“The community knew about this for many, many years. It’s hard for people to stop and actually listen … especially people from the South.”

it’s literally the oldest accurate oral history of the world.  

And then the gorgeous purple Decepticon one: 

also, it’s not red carpet but I refuse to ignore these beauties:

PLEASE HELP MY FAMILY GET OUR WATER BACK AND KEEP US OFF THE STREET.

hello all, i’m sorry to ask this again but i’m sure, as most of you probably already know having seen all of my annoying posts begging for money, know that i am currently going through extremely hard times as my water has been turned off (if by some miracle you know nothing of this, refer to THIS POST) and the fee that they are charging me to have it turned back on is extremely outrageous and way way out of my means.

unfortunately, DONATIONS HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR AT LEAST FIVE DAYS. i am not even a third - maybe not even a fourth of the way to getting my water turned back on and as a lot of you know I’m sure water is kind of super important to pretty much everything survival related. we are currently on the last bit of our emergency water reserve (which were kept in plastic jugs and rubbermaid tubs so…not the most clean or sanitary water for drinking) and we have had to spend a portion of what has already been donated to buy fresh water from the store for us and our two emotional support dogs to drink, the reserves have been used mainly to wash dishes and maybe three loads of clothes, wash up my mother and i, give the dogs one joint bath because it was less water consumed to wash them together, and now it’s almost gone. 

i have been doing all i can do on my own to secure more money through my commissions and by other means but it is simply not enough and i CANNOT do this alone, and i am terrified that i will fail and lose my section 8 and become homeless along with my disabled mom and our dogs and that is probably one of the scariest possibilities anyone could ever be faced with. i 

really cannot thank those who have donated and reblogged enough. you have done for us more than i could ever put into words in a way fit for y'all. but again, i am being forced to live without water or pay $784 - over $800 after all the fees they’re pinning on me due to my landlord allowing a leak to skyrocket my water bill. i am also now forced to cover the cost of hiring someone to fix the leak as my landlord will not accept responsibility and section 8 (at least my local housing authority) will not do anything (likely because they have been known to accept bribes, the apt i live in is not in any way shape or form “livable” or even mildly “acceptable” in the condition it is in and it has been this was since we moved into it, yet it has passed three years of inspections without a hitch? 🤔) 

THIS WILL RUN ME BETWEEN $200 & $300. 

i am begging for your help. any help. this situation has caused me so much heartache, i have several mental illnesses including bpd, clinical depression, intermittent explosive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, & more. unfortunately, my mother also share a good few of those same illnesses along with her physical disabilities which include fibromyalgia, spondylosis (c4/5/6/7 vertebrates are rubbing against each other causing chronic pain and bone degeneration), peripheral neuropathy, sciatica, osteoarthritis, the list goes on. 

if you can donate, PLEASE do. if you can’t, PLEASE reblog, i can do nothing but beg in hopes that the kindness of both strangers and friends in this community will be able to help us, and if not for me, at least for my mom and two dogs. they do not deserve to live this way and they do not deserve homelessness (and being put in the shelter in the case of my dogs who are my literal babies.) please help. 

i know this is annoying for some people to see and i know i am asking A LOT, but i am desperate. please help my family. we are scared. i am scared.
