Hilda by Duane Bryers

More Hilda!!

in this family we love and support Hilda.

Yes! Hilda!

What i love about this artist’s depictions of women is even the sexualized ones the woman is always genuinely happy and enjoying herself. Frolicking or making funny faces, she’s living her life and looking sexy while doing it, not sitting in a sexual pose for the audience’s view.

I always forget about Hilda and am so pleased when she randomly shows up on my dash. Always makes my day

I love Hilda so much and I want her to be happy

more Hilda!

I freaking love Hilda, there’s needs to be more art like this.

I will never not reblog Hilda

Hilda is a treasure ❤️❤️❤️

A caretaker comforting his cheetah companions when they get nervous during the night

(Source)

So the actual source on this is the youtube channel of Dolph C. Volker, a nature photographer that is also a long-time volunteer at the Cheetah Experience Breeding Centre in Bloemfontein, South Africa. He was experimenting in this video to find out how cheetahs preferred to sleep/what they prefer to sleep on (the answer was: a warm body).

I want to add that this care center seems to do a lot toward conserving land and protecting the cheetah species, but they also work with other species including plenty of big cats, meercats, wolves, bat-eared foxes, and a couple of ungulates. They have what looks like a great enrichment program, eager volunteers, and good veterinary care for everyone.

They also make most of their money interacting with the public for visitation and education, and due to COVID19, they have had to close their doors to visitors at all. This means that they’re facing some tough times financially. They have an amazon wishlist if you prefer to purchase something directly, but they also have adoption packages (to sponsor an animal) and a general donations area that can be for any amount.

And when @kedreeva says Dolph is a ‘long-time volunteer-, they mean it- he’s been doing this for years, building up relationships with the cats he works with . They know him, they remember him, and he’s worked with several of the cats since they were cubs.

So please no one take this as a reason to clamor for close contact with big cats. Dude’s a pro working with animals very familiar with him and he’s doing this For Science.

Sir David Suchet shares an amusing fan encounter story from the set of Agatha Christie’s Poirot in Hastings, East Sussex - BFI Q&A, November 12 2013
“‘Oh!’ she said, apparently satisfied, and set off on her away again, only to stop once again moments later.
‘Thank you for choosing Hastings,’ she said, with a gentle wave, and she set off up the street away from me.
Even as I remember that day now, it brings a tear to my eye. It was so touching, and seemed to reflect exactly how much ordinary people really seemed to care about the little Belgian, even if he was entirely the product of Dame Agatha’s imagination.”
- David Suchet, Poirot and Me

oh, my heart.

I want to go to this exact point and run around it saying “I’m in Sweden!” I’m in Finland!” “I’m in Norway!” until I get tired

i aspire to great things in life

According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.

So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.

actually that’s why they’ve helpfully dropped a big-ass cement block with a bridge surrounding it in the middle of the lake: for the express purpose of doing what OP aspires to do

there’s so much beauty in the world.

Here’s another “self-made” billionaire that nobody is talking about

Pat McGrath became a billionaire when Kylie Cosmetics was worth $800 million. Yet the media was still obsessed with “Kylie is almost a self-made billionaire!” rather than talking about this woman who already was an actual self-made billionaire.

Never forget: twice as good for half the credit.

No Kardashian/Jenner has every truly contributed one damn thing to society. They’re symptoms of our bankrupt culture that awards mediocrity and repackages it as something great. They’re like Trump. And Trump is like them. And we’d have neither without the other. Like dueling parasites, they contributed to each other.

Everything I know about the Kardashians I learned against my will. Pat McGrath needs to be spoken about more.

Wait, does rapper B.o.B. really think the Earth is flat — or is he trolling us?

After claiming to have watched Felix Baumgartner’s famous Red Bull Stratos jump from the edge of space, recording artist B.o.B is furiously tweeting everything science says about the Earth being round is a total lie. Why is he doing this? We have an idea.

Follow @the-future-now

Update: Neil deGrasse Tyson has joined the fray to lay the scientific smackdown on B.o.B.

Tyson sent the rapper multiple tweets disproving him and then things got personal.

Update: This feud is getting weirder and weirder. B.o.B released a new track “Flatline” on Monday, that takes a few shots at Neil deGrasse Tyson. “Aye, Neil Tyson need to loosen up his vest,” the rapper spits. “They’ll probably write that man one hell of a check.”

And then Tyson fired back with a diss track of his own. Really.

The astrophysicist enlisted the help of his nephew Stephen J. Tyson, who is apparently a rapper. Tyson delivers the facts at B.o.B. over a Drake beat.

Update: It got better. Neil deGrasse Tyson apparently wasn’t done educating B.o.B. Here’s what happened on The Nightly Show:

You need to hear the crowd’s reaction to this.

This is the greatest thing happening right now.

What a time to be alive

A true epic rap battle. Imagine any other scientist in history proving something the same way.
