Hillary Clinton on Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Kamala Harris:

“The fact that it happened right after the debate and just added to Kamala’s momentum must have just set them all off. Taylor Swift brings an unusual impact to an endorsement. Her fanbase is so intense and incredibly influenced by her. She’s a singer who charts the course of her life which they relate to as their own lives, but she’s also someone who stood up to a guy who groped her and stood up to get her music back from someone she thought had illegitimately had taken it from her. She has demonstrated a resilience in taking control over her own life that sends a strong message. I’m a huge admirer. I think [her endorsement] has real impact.” (Via: On with Kara Swisher Podcast)

Prompt 16 - Mistake

@jegulus-microfic September 16, Word count 182

“Reg, I’m so sorry. It was a mistake. Please, Reg,” James begged, his heart breaking at the look in Regulus’s eyes. 

“It’s alright,” Remus consoled the other boy, putting an arm around him and leading him away from James. 

“Reg,” James pleaded. Regulus just shook his head and let Remus guide him out of the room. 

James sighed and looked down at the first edition of Regulus’s favourite book with a perfect coffee mug ring on the cover. He winced, he hadn’t meant to do it, he hadn’t been looking and just put the mug down. He pulled out his phone to track down a replacement. He hissed when he saw how much it was worth. He found a signed copy. If he was going to spend a ludicrous amount of money on a book, he might as well get Regulus a better one than the one he'd ruined. He paid extra to get it the next day. He couldn’t cope with seeing Regulus so sad for longer than that. He'd make sure he looked next time before putting a drink down.

Animal of the Day!

Northern Bald Ibis (Geronticus eremita)

(Photo by Richard Bartz)

Conservation Status- Endangered

Habitat- Morocco; Turkey

Size (Weight/Length)- 1.3 kg; 80 cm

Diet- Insects; Reptiles; Snails; Scorpions; Small mammals

Cool Facts- The Northern bald ibis could once be found across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa but hunting and persecution has driven this bird to near extinction. With less than 700 birds in the wild and 2,000 in captive breeding programs, efforts to reintroduce these non-wading ibis are intensive. The Northern bald ibis live in small groups on cliff ledges and arid steppes as they search for insects and small mammals. These ibis have a close connection with Mediterranean culture. In Ancient Egypt, these birds were sacred and considered the embodiment of Thoth. Greek Stymphalian birds were possibly based on Northern bald ibis. In Turkey, these ibis are symbols of fertility and were thought to be the first animal released from Noah’s Ark.

Rating- 13/10 (A conservation success story in the making.)
