The only one who needs ivory is an elephant

'We are failing the elephants'

CNN's David McKenzie investigates the horrors of elephant poaching in Africa. He fears our only memories of elephants may be those of their mutilated corposes.

Now, with current rates of poaching, they will be wiped out from some of their range states.They could even go locally extinct.

Brief comment on Gender Parity in TES games

So, apparently saying that there should be more female and non-binary characters in TES franchise is a big offense to some players. Some people don’t think there’s anything wrong by having male characters as a clear majority in all games, some people “just want to enjoy their fantasy game” and don’t have patience to face even a little bit of seriousness in their lives without having to express how “graphs” “spoil the fun”.

Well, we just wanted to say this: if you don’t think there should be more space for women and non-binary characters in TES games (and in all games and stories in general) than there is now, we won’t miss you if you unfollow us.

Happy holidays to you all,

The 10 oldest cities in the world

"There’s a certain aesthetic attached to the oldest cities in the world: bustling souks beneath a bright blue sky, flowing garments made of whispery white cotton, stone masonry painted yellow by the sun."

2,200 years ago in Turkey, this insane rental agreement was inscribed in stone

Written in Greek, the lease allows renters to use slaves that come with the property

No ripping up this rental agreement. And the punishments for not looking after the property, not paying the rent, etc. Nuts. Plus new legal terminology. Great stuff.

I hear you! I’ve had three partners so far for competitions - it sucks when you don’t have anyone and I’m not entirely looking forward to having to find someone new when I graduate and move. There’s still a lot you can do on your own, though, I use a hoola hoop and mirrors to practice when I have to work on my own.

The Sad Part about my love for ballroom dancing

Is I have no partner. No one to dance with, or take lessons with, so I am left alone, to dream. Here’s hoping for a little ballroom and a little romance when I move.
