Rodearte de gente monotema, cerrada y obtusa, con récias raíces en su círculo de confort, te crea o fuerza una identidad.

Para encontrar tu propia identidad, saber quién eres, tienes que alejarte de lo que conoces, sobre todo si resulta tan familiar.

Temo que eso significa alejarte de tu lugar natal, círculo de amigos, familia y, principalmente, de tus costumbres.

Nos hemos ido definiendo a partir de lo que hemos visto o nos han contado otros. Esa especie de instinto de supervivencia es un lastre cuando ya nos valemos por nosotros mismos.

Toca despojarse de quienes somos para saber quiénes somos.

It's said to resemble a fox and a wolf, but in fact the maned wolf is the only species in the genus chrysocyon (meaning golden dog). It lives in grasslands and bushy areas of South America where it plays an important ecological role in the dispersal of fruit seeds. Animal Fact Files

Wildlife find haven amid Brazil’s vanishing savanna

Conservation International is helping recover a savanna habitat nearly twice the size of Manhattan.

Brazil is home to a vast, but overlooked, tropical savanna called the Cerrado.

This sprawling patchwork of open grassland and scattered woodlands covers almost a quarter of the country — an area about the size of Greenland — providing habitat for 1,200 mammals, birds and reptiles and 6,000 plant species. Among its remarkable wildlife are giant anteaters, maned wolves, armadillos and brilliantly colored macaws.

But today, more than half of the original Cerrado has been cleared for cattle ranching and soy farming, making it one of the fastest disappearing ecosystems on Earth. And only a fraction of the remaining Cerrado is fully protected by the Brazilian government — around 3 percent.

In one corner of southwestern Brazil, a project designed by a sustainable timber operator, BTG Pactual Timberland Investment Group (TIG), and supported by Conservation International, is breathing new life into the savanna.

What was once a vast stretch of degraded pastureland just a year ago is being rapidly transformed into tree farms and 2,500 hectares (6,000 acres) of newly restored natural forest. While the project’s primary purpose is to store climate-warming carbon, it is also designed to protect biodiversity.

gonna get a bit personal here, but as an actor it hurts me to see how ppl misinterpret a character as layered and nuanced as kim

now u might be wondering: girl wtf does being an actor have to do w lieutenant kitsuragi. well, i believe it to be the case that actors are storytellers. its our job to write in our characters studies what isnt in the script, to fill in the gaps, and portray that to the best of our abilities.

while in school, my professor’s always emphasized that as an actor, 100% of the time its more interesting when your characters motivations are rooted in love, rather than resentment. and i feel like too often i see ppl understand kim’s motivations be fueled by a desire to reject, protect himself, and detach himself from a world he resents.

now; thats not to say that isn’t entirely true. after all it is what the canon tells us explicitly: that he gave up on moralism, religion, etc, because he again and again was disappointed by the reality of elysium. therefore, that must mean that from there on out kim was a lost soul, that when coming to contact with harry’s spark, it lit his ambitions once more

and yes, to an extent, thats true, but its not the whole truth. to imply otherwise is very derivative. one of the things that makes kim such a compelling character is how he never stopped loving the world around him, *before* meeting harry. and even tho he limits how much he allows himself to indulge in it, it still bleeds through the cracks. hence, when he meets harry, he pours his devotion into the case, and in turn, into harry, without even knowing the guy

would a detached character have the patience and compassion he has for harry on day one? absolutely not. the man is borderline coddling to harry despite it all. and you can hear it in the performance!

jullian champenois’ voice is characterized by its mellow, soothing quality. hes gentle about it! and the actor made that choice for a reason! kim is a gentle person! he stands his ground, he sets boundaries, keeps u in course, and is nothing of a pushover. but regardless, his temperament is calm and reassuring. thats his function as a literary device! to contrast harry’s self-hatred and self-loathing with compassion and understanding!

think about it: would a character thats insistent on being a cold wall, sit on the swing-sets with harry for the pure purpose of just being there so harry doesnt have to confront that alone? if kim only wanted to keep people at an arms length, would he insist you two to be the ones to break the news to working class woman about her husband when ur at her doorstep? he said it himself; the precinct couldve handled it fine.

if kims actions were rooted in resentment towards an unfair world, would he be an instrument of justice for the rcm in the first place? kim, who verbatim despises the cops who become cops so they can use policing as an ego outlet?

kim kitsuragi cares. he cares very deeply, and i believe that the walls around him are a result of kim attempting to keep himself *in*, rather than keep others *out*. kim keeps HIMSELF on a short leash, because he knows that otherwise he’d go all in, just like harry.

harry and kim are at the opposite ends of the same spectrum of people that are too passionate for a world that does not reward such earnestness. therefore, harry copes with addiction, and kim copes with restrictions. regardless. its all comes back to love.

Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell by half last year, according to figures released Friday, as President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's government bolstered environmental policing to crack down on surging destruction. However, the news was far less bright from the crucial Cerrado savanna below the rainforest, where clear-cutting hit a new annual record last year, rising by 43 percent from 2022, according to the national space research agency's DETER surveillance program.

Es irónico que en una época donde cada vez hay menos racismo, homofobia y sexismo, donde surgen en aumento movimientos sociales y de igualdad, seamos más egocéntricos y cerrados.

Nothing annoys me more than discourse that claims native speakers are the only ones that can speak on their language because some native korean speakers don't even know the difference between 되 and 돼 so who are they to make claims on linguistics. That bs comes from people who value stem over humanities and I can't stand the finance bro mentality sorry. I'm also not arguing with someone that only speaks english 🙄

The Brazilian cerrado savanna is also on fire

A fire at the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park, in the heart of Brazil’s savanna-like Cerrado biome, reached its fifth day on Monday, consuming over 10,000 hectares of land.

The park is located in the state of Goiás, about 230 kilometers from Brazil’s capital Brasília.

Firefighters have been in the region since September 5. On the first day, they faced challenging terrain, walking three kilometers in a hard-to-reach area to get to the fire, which was consuming native Cerrado vegetation in an area with many hills and rocks. The first fire, which was put out, extended for about 10 kilometers. 

Created in 1961, the National Park Chapada dos Veadeiros protects an area that spans nearly 241,000 hectares in central Brazil. The park is a Unesco World Heritage Site for “containing flora and fauna and key habitats that characterize the Cerrado — one of the world’s oldest and most diverse tropical ecosystems.” The region features over 10,000 plant and 1,500 animal species.
