Help for Sammy

I hope I'm not getting on people's nerves, but I had to do unrelated things in the background for the past weeks and thus didn't yet have the chance to work on/ post more art, so please bear with me.

I still need a little help with vet costs (see the GoFundMe for more info!). Here are 4 ways you could help:

Visit my website, maybe there's something in the shop section for you?

I created a GoFundMe (all the info is in here if you're curious)

my Paypal is jspenke@gmx.de if you like neither of the above but still want to send something (please put 'Sammy' in the note section so I can prove to authorities it was specifically for him!)

Share this post or any of these links

Anything at all helps!! But please don't spend money on us if you can't afford it in the first place, maybe just share in this case! I would actually prefer if people mostly went the shop route and shared this, but I'm really not picky at this point. 😅 While this hopefully goes around the internet for a little bit longer I'll try to get more things in the shop once I'm done with taxes, other bureaucracy things and everything else I need to get done to ensure I'll continue to have something to live off of while not being able to work normally.

The GoFundMe campaign for Sammy is live. Please share this everywhere if you can! 🙏

Sorry to hijack your post like that, but this reminds me that recently I found something Sammy finds very upsetting:

a bunch of daffodils. Just behind a chain link fence on a property nearby. It's just a little cluster with maybe 3 flowers

He wouldn't go further once he saw them. He also didn't want to check them out when I offered. We crossed the street so he could look at them from a distance, but he just kept woofing at them and didn't want to go further along even on the other side of the street XD Who knows what those lil fuckers could do to him, after all... He still finds them very sus

List of animals Troj finds upsetting, updated 26/3/24:

- cats

Lauren Bacall and her dog, Sophie.

Lauren Bacall, who died Aug. 12 (2014) at the age of 89, had an estate worth more than $26 million, and the legendary movie star made sure to provide for her beloved dog, Sophie. According to papers filed Friday in Manhattan Surrogate's Court, the actress set aside $10,000 for the care for her Papillon. The New York Daily News reports that Bacall, who died at her Manhattan home after suffering a stroke, specified in her 2013 will that her son, actor Sam Robards, would care for the pooch. To do so, she gave him five figures to cover the canine costs.

//

Korak ispred/Papillon

Nikada nismo bili na istoj talasnoj dužini

Uvek si išla korak ispred mene

Žurila si negde

Kao da ti se smrt prikrala iza desnog ramena

I šapuće da dolazi po tebe

Dok ja kaskam za tobom sa leve strane

Jer nikada nismo išli paralelno

Korak uz korak

Jedno uz drugo

Kao svi normalni parovi

Dok su se držali za ruke i šetali

Uvek sam te gledao iz ugla

Koji je ljudima bio čudan

Pa su se okretali za nama i pitali sebe kako možemo tako da hodamo i pričamo

A mene je taj ugao uvek terao na razmišljanje

Zašto si baš istetovirala leptira sa raširenim krilima iz levog uveta

Da li on ustvari predstavlja tebe

To da si uvek korak ispred mene

Korak ispred svih

Da si napravljena za daleke i velike stvari

Da ćeš jednog dana

Jednim mahom krila

Otići od mene

Kao što na kraju i jesi to uradila

Uvek si bila korak ispred

Možda si baš zbog toga i uspela da me preboliš

Ili me možda draga moja,

Ti nikada i nisi volela

Kao ja tebe

Le rôle de l’électricité dans la pollinisation

See on Scoop.it - EntomoNews

... L’étude menée par Sam England a été menée sous un angle encore jamais abordé. Il a en effet souhaité étudier et mesurer la capacité de pollinisation par le biais de l’électricité dont [l'insecte] se charge lors de son vol.

  Le rôle des papillons dans la pollinisation est désormais avéré

Par F.D 10 Sep 2024

  'Initialement, le schéma préférentiel des observateurs était une reproduction des plantes par l’intermédiaire des principaux insectes pollinisateurs que sont l’abeille et le bourdon. Ceux-ci libéraient le pollen directement par contact avec les organes reproducteurs de la fleur. Une théorie qui a commencé à évoluer à partir des années 1980. Certains chercheurs ont en effet voulu mettre en avant l’importance des forces électrostatiques. Comme l’a expliqué Sam England à l’AFP : « C'est quelque chose qui n'a pas été exploré en détails en termes d’écologie ».

  En vol, les insectes se chargent d’électricité

Lors de leurs déplacements aériens, il a été remarqué que les insectes produisaient de l’électricité. En effet, le frottement de leurs ailes avec l’air est générateur d’une charge électrique positive. À contrario, « une bonne proportion du pollen de fleurs est chargé négativement » explique le biologiste. Ensuite, comme nous l’avons appris lors de nos cours de physiques, les opposés s’attirent, ce qui permettrait au pollen de se fixer sur l’abdomen des différents insectes. Durant le vol, la charge négative du pollen se transformerait en charge positive, qui une fois posée sur une autre fleur serait inévitablement attirée par le champ électrique négatif de la plante. « On a montré que les abeilles accumulent ainsi des charges électriques conséquentes, mais personne ne l'avait quantifié pour les papillons ».

    L’étude des papillons menée par Sam England

Pour mener à bien son étude, le biologiste a utilisé un picoampère mètre. Cet appareil permet de mesurer des charges électriques infimes. Il s’est intéressé à onze espèces de papillons venues des quatre coins du monde. Il a ainsi disposé son outil à la sortie d’un tunnel dans lequel chaque papillon volait environ 30 secondes. Le résultat s’est montré sans appel : « la plupart des lépidoptères accumulaient une charge électrique positive ». La conclusion de cette recherche a ainsi démontré que chaque papillon, grâce à sa charge électrique, peut transporter une centaine de graines de pollen. Sam England a donc redonné ses lettres de noblesse au papillon. Il est désormais certain qu’il joue un rôle de pollinisateur, au même titre que les abeilles ou les bourdons."

20% SHOP SALE for Sammy!

Sammy needs vet care again (read more on my pet blog here), this time there's something in his eye that needs to be looked at asap. We have an appointment later today and that alone will likely be at least 150-250€ according to the clinic.

I still haven't recovered at all from his previous vet visits from December-February so I'm doing a 20% OFF EVERYTHING in my shop on js-tierportraits! The sale will run at least until April 30 but I may extend it if necessary.

If you're not interested to get art you can also help by sharing this post and donating to/ sharing Sammy's GoFundMe here. I will update the latter with the new info after the appointment when I know more.

Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Review: In The Shadow of Papillon – Seven Years of Hell in Venezuela’s Prison System – by Frank Kane with John Tilsley

Frank Kane and his girlfriend, Sam, after their business was failing in the U.K. made the fateful decision to become cocaine drug couriers in Venezuela. Whilst attempting to fly out from the airport on Caribbean Island, Isla de Margarita, the airport authorities stopped and searched them and discovered the smuggled contraband which was a few kilos of locally-sourced cocaine. The story progresses…
