This is encouraging news! Poached cheetah cubs are popular on the black market, and any tools that can help stem the trade will be much-needed.
This poaching has been going on for many decades; actress Josephine Baker could often been seen with her pet cheetah Chiquita in the 1920s, and mid-century demands from zoos for cheetahs likely also fueled illicit trade. Today they are still seen as status symbols, with many ending up as pets on the Arabian peninsula in spite of increasing prohibitions.
Many poached cubs never survive to be sold to new buyers, and every cub taken out of the wild reduces the already plummeting population; perhaps 10,000 at most remain in the wild today, down from 100,000 a century ago.
Want an easy way to help? Don't share, like, or otherwise support videos that show big cats and other wild animals as pets (yes, that includes supposed "rescues" like Messi the cougar who is treated like a housecat instead of living in a proper big cat refuge--and whose owners have had more than one cheetah that they show off on their social media.) Educate others on how wildlife are not pets and while they may seem to be cute and cuddly, keeping them robs them of the chance to have a truly wild life and supports unsustainable, and often illegal, wildlife trade.

Turkish authorities cracked down on an Israeli organ trafficking network in Adana.
Israel has long been at the center of what Bloomberg described in 2011 as a "sprawling global black market in organs where brokers use deception, violence, and coercion to buy kidneys from impoverished people, mainly in underdeveloped countries, and then sell them to critically ill patients in more-affluent nations."
Important to mention that hundreds of Palestinian bodies were found missing organs and skinned following Israeli occupation attacks on Gaza, many of which were found in mass graves.

I wonder... is anyone interested in contributing to an Anarchist Cookbook kinda book but specifically about "in-the-field" anarchism (creating things, methods to do certain things, &c.)? I lack knowledge and experience in certain areas and, while reading a book is good to learn some stuff, finding people who have first hand knowledge and experience on stuff for anarchists to learn from would be great. I can get by with how to avoid suspicion by security, how to create various "tools", and some budget/in-a-pinch first aid stuff &c. but I'm not as experienced in organization as I would like.

"All of God's creatures can talk in the afterlife." ASDFAGHADFGHG MASTERFUL DELIVERY. Also very likely something Lisbon has thought to herself but wouldn't have dared to say out loud out of fear of sounding silly if it weren't for the "be silly" plan.

Ah the good old Black Market prank...
Tumblr media
Then guess what happened...
Tumblr media
Then another Black Market prank happens 13 years later, but this time (spoiler alert) it's more malicious...
Tumblr media
Did Black really give this a second thought considering the incident 13 years prior?

Obviously, the answer is no. Boy is Black so gullible. He may be quick to think on his feet right on the spot, but he so fell for the Black Market prank TWICE. Looking at both of these incidents, I am starting to wonder if White could be a potential scam artist in any way? Maybe he is, maybe not. I dunno. I mean, White is cunning and calculating ahead of time with his schemes and pranks for the most part.
The first incident was taken from "Danger! Intrigue! Stupidity!" which is a reprint of "The All New Secret Files of Spy vs. Spy." The second incident was taken from the eighth strip from the first portion of "Spy vs. Spy Casebook of Craziness." I do not claim ownership of any content. Spy vs. Spy belongs to the defunct MAD magazine and Antonio Prohias.

eyyyy bodbad so I've been wondering for a while I know how characters like thanos snap whenever you forget about them or lose their inspiration, but what if you remember that character and get the inspiration again? Does it come back? WHAT HAPPENS?!
that means they never left the market, they were always there, waiting for you! the characters who are absorbed by the sea are not truly 'destroyed' either, it just means that their essence has gone back into the great ocean of unconsciousness, so that it can re-emerge in different ways.
