Katina has passed away at 50 years old, Seaworld Orlando has made an official statement, I have no energy to type everything out word by word so you get the ripped text from my Instagram post.

Oh Katina, I knew this was going to eventually happen but I never thought it would be this soon or like this, where the last time I would ever see you was August of this years, now hundreds of miles away from you.

You were an amazing, awe-inspiring animal, you were my favorite and one of the whales who I've been around since day one when I first went to the parks as a baby, I dont know how to describe how to even feel about the news of your unfortunate passing, it doesn't even feel like you're gone right now, like you're still at Shamu Stadium waiting for a show or swimming with your daughter, son, grandson, and Malia. You're still there in my mind right now, not gone, alive and energetic like how you used to be before this illness took a turn for the worse for you.

Prime Minister Mark Carney is heading to Europe on Thursday, visiting Ireland and France for the G7 summit. The summit is running from June 15 to June 17 in Evian-les-Bains and France says the focus will be on reducing global inequalities. The summit was delayed by a day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the White House would host a UFC fight on June 14, which is Flag Day in the United States and Trump’s 80th birthday.

Cetegandan concept sketches

Wanted to try my hand at Cetegandan clothing. Not sure how Gem differs from Haut, though I'm leaning towards Gem being more flamboyant, space-grabbing and structured (left and right) whereas Haut is flowy-er and layered, with some lab attire with a both aesthetic and practical bent.

In general clothing styles try to evoke imagery of flowers, petals, and delicate layering. I'm playing around with incorporating butterfly shapes in the silhouette. (see swallowtail sleeves on far left). While the garments are light and flowy, very little skin is left showing. The clothing style is an elegant synthesis of Grecian drapery and certain elements from historic Japanese, Chinese, and Korean garments. My muse was also inspired to create a similar feeling to some of my favorite Star Wars costume design sketches I've run across. I also really enjoy having folds radiating out from a central point, or folding out like petals above and below a belt/waistline. Will probably do more studies to further explore the variety of ceta styles I've imagined.

tbh i imagine cetagandan womens clothing is actually a bit less colorful. maybe more whites and creams. But I just had fun messin about with butterfly colors

OH HELL YEAH TIME TO CITE THOSE SOURCES! :::

overall pretty happy with how these turned out :D! Feel like I successfully captured the space-elf-fairy vibes I was going for. If you notice any cannon clothing details I left out, or have your own creative ideas on how you imagine cetagandan cloting to look, feel free to leave a comment! I love hearing other people's insights :). Particularly curious how ceta clothing may have changed between occupation time period and modern miles-era ceta clothing. Given their heavily artistic bent I could imagine fashions may change wildly year to year decade to decade. But also given how long they live, perhaps the mainstream styles is actually less malleable? If so what are the common themes that are preseved?

The monsterologist and her monster gf

in 2014 the EU and the USA were working on a trade agreement called TTIP. A similar agreement between the EU and Canada was in the making called CETA.

Both of these agreements failed. The reasons for that are complex. But on the EU-side the outlook of having to deal with a liberalised market, loss of democratic self-determination, americanised standards and undermined labour laws caused outrage and massive protest.

If Trump thinks those same people who fought TTIP in 2014 and onwards are now willing to bow down to even less homogenous trading standards and questionable democratic values, he is wrong. Smarter and more subtle people than Trump have tried what he does now and they have failed.

Resistance works.
