BUFF LACED POLISH..

Half of this tree collapsed. A portion of the sides and back of the trunk still stubbornly remain. Gigantic branches, larger than most trees, pile in disarray at the base of the trunk. The entire thing is about the size of a football field.

In the fall of 2018, one of Madagascar’s most sacred baobabs crumbled and caved in on itself. The ancient giant tree was estimated to be about 1,400 years old and supplied food, fuel, and fiber to the region before its trunk, which spanned 90 feet around(!), collapsed.

The tree was called Tsitakakoike, which means “the tree where one cannot hear the cry from the other side.” The baobab was also thought to house the ancestral spirits of nearby Masikoro people.

An act of visual preservation, Beth Moon has created photos that show how the massive trees’ exposed roots were sprawled across the ground, a sure sign of years-long droughts. Many trees became so dehydrated they caved under their own weight. These devastating effects happen all the time in the region, which has gone through significant water shortages in the last few decades, rapidly reducing the baobab population.

The latest loss was absolutely devastating to the community. It's an ominous sign of how the climate crisis is no hoax.

Eric周興哲《以後別做朋友 The Distance of Love》

習慣聽你分享生活細節

害怕破壞完美的平衡點

保持著距離一顆心的遙遠

我的寂寞你就聽不見

我走回從前你往未來飛

遇見對的人錯過交叉點

明明你就已經站在我面前

我卻不斷揮手說再見

以後別做朋友 朋友不能牽手

想愛你的衝動 我只能笑著帶過

最好��朋友 有些夢 不能說出口

就不用承擔 會���去你的心痛

劃一個安全的天空界線

誰都不准為我們掉眼淚

放棄好好愛一個人的機會

要看著你幸福到永遠

以後別做朋友 朋友不能牽手

想愛你的衝動 我只能笑著帶過

最好的朋友 有些夢 不能說出口

就不用承擔 會失去你的心痛

忍住失控 太折磨 我自作自受

回憶都是我 好不了的傷口

以後還是朋友 還是你最懂我

我們有始有終 就走到世界盡頭

永遠的朋友 祝福我 遇見愛以後

不會再懦弱 緊緊握住那雙手
