FAIR WELL BOB BARKER
youtube
I'm a little late but I'm sadden that the infamous Bob Barker flag ship of the sea shepherds has been retired 7 months ago, I love whales and I saw the sea shepherds and the Bob Barker as unsung heros willing to get their hands dirty and fight poachers directly risking life and limb to protect the creatures that can't protect themselves. Bob Barker will be missed a glorious vessel that payed it's dark sins of the past back by being the shield for creature being hunted for inhumane reasons.

apples
Autumn is finally in the air in the Northern Hemisphere and for a lot of us, our minds turn to one thing - decadently spiced baked goods! Sure, we could make pumpkin muffins at any time of the year but there's just something about the sharp inhale of crisp, cold air and the bustle of falling leaves outside, hinting at the beginning of an end, that adds a special flavor to fall dishes. Winter and its lean times will soon be upon us and even if, today, we have grocery stores to keep our winter meals diverse, something inside of us still needs to pack in all the cinnamon, nutmeg and last fruits of the season that we can. And what fall season's table would be complete without apples? Apple cider, apple crumble, baked apples, candied apples - the list goes on. Throw some cinnamon or caramel at us and we're good to go. Apples, it turns out, have always been a source of temptation.
We'll start with the low hanging fruit easy ones. Though its never named in the Bible, the apple is the common fruit associated with Adam and Eve's fall. Offered by a snake, picked from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, the temptation to reach out and pick a ripe apple off a forbidden tree is probably experienced again by a multitude of school children, and adults, anytime a walk brings them within range of a stranger's orchard. The adam's apple some people have prominently enough to see on their throats is supposedly the left over of the bite of apple that got stuck in Adam's throat for his impertinence against God.
The Greeks also loved their tempting apples. Atalanta lost a footrace to the man that was cunning enough to throw golden apples behind him as he ran, distracting her as she went to retrieve them enough for him to win. The Trojan War was supposedly the result of three goddesses feuding over a golden apple that claimed it would belong 'to the fairest' and a shepherd who didn't know when to keep his mouth shut. And Hera, one of those three feuding goddess, already had a tree that bore golden apples, guarded either by a dragon-serpent or three nymphs, that had the tree's apples stolen, thanks to Hercules.
In Russian, a firebird is caught stealing the ruler's golden apples each night. In Ireland, a silver branch that grows either golden apples or balls of gold belongs to a sea deity. Iounn or Idun is the Norse goddess of eternal youth - and apples. Multiple goddesses across the globe that are associated with love and sexuality claim the apple as their fruit. Germany, Bulgaria, Serbia and Romania all have fairy tales where apples play a pivotal role. The Avalon of Arthurian legend is said to be the Isle of Apples. Heck, even Snow White's final attempted murder is accomplished with the bite of an apple.
Apples aren't just for gods and heroes though and perhaps that's part of their enduring fixation in folklore. If an Appalachian girl is clever enough to skin an apple without once breaking the peel, she should throw it over her left shoulder. It will fall in the shape of a letter, the first initial of her future husband. In Austria, she can cut an apple in half on St. Thomas's night. An even number of seeds mean she'll marry soon but a broken or cut seed she will end up a widow. An alternate on this is that the number of seeds will be the number of children she'll have. An apple stem can be twisted, reciting a letter of the alphabet with each twist. When the stem breaks, the letter will be the start of a future spouse's name. A woman with multiple suitors can drop apple seeds into the fire, reciting a name for each seed. The seed that pops instead of staying silent as it burns is the suitor who is 'bursting' with love for her. In Pennsylvania, licking an apple and then giving it to someone to eat insures they'll fall in love with you.
Incidentally, I'm sure, its considered bad luck not to 'shine' an apple and clean it off before you take a bite of it. Just... pointing that out.
Stories about legendary heroes like apples too. In Switzerland, William Tell was forced by his captors to shoot an apple off his son's head with a crossbow to win their freedom. School children will tell you Isaac Newton figured out gravity thanks to an apple falling on his head. And Johnny Appleseed is an American folkhero that walked across the continent while America was busy spreading west, planting apple trees as he went.
Each year after harvest, some of the apples that have fallen should be left on the ground for the fairy or the dead (or the poor) depending on which tradition you're going by. Boats made of applewood are bad luck. If a woman that's had multiple children eats the first apple of the season, the rest of the harvest will be fruitful. Likewise, eating an apple before the wedding night is supposed to lead to fruitfulness. If an apple tree blossoms while there are still apples on the branches in England someone in the family will die but if the same thing happens in Europe, its the sign of a fruitful year ahead instead. It's unlucky to destroy an apple tree or worse an apple orchard. And, for some reason, giving teachers apples is such a common theme in the US and Europe that its become an entire kick-knack industry.
And let's not forget:
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
That's comparing apples to oranges.
One bad apple spoils the whole barrel.
They're the apple of their mother's eye.
He's fresh faced and apple cheeked.
It's as American as apple pie.
and, finally,
How about them apples?!

Do you know anything about the fixed star Dubhe?
I know a little about the Ursa Major, Dubhe's constellation of the great bear. It's a funny thing that it has a tail. Real bears don't. But greco-roman mythology explains that by saying it was Jupiter/Zeus by picking her up and streching her, that gave her a tail. It has a very important relationship with the constellations around it, especially Ursa Minor and Bootes, which I've talked about before, and you can't understand one without the other.
Dhube is the alpha of the Great Bear, known as a circumpolar constellation in the northern hemisphere. It's really high on the northern celestial pole, making a lot of its stars never set on the horizon, and so here in Brazil for example we never see the bears entirely. I've never seen them. The proximity to the northern axis makes the Great Bear always look as if she's going in circles around Polaris, the star that's placed in the exact spot of the northern axis and never moves while everything revolves around it, making it look like we're all in a centrifuge.
"Now where heaven reaches its culmination in the shining Bears, which from the zenith of the sky look down on all the stars and know no setting and, shifting their opposed stations about the same high point, set sky and stars in rotation, from there an insubstantial axis runs down through the wintry air and controls the universe, keeping it pivoted at opposite poles: it forms the middle about which the starry sphere revolves and wheels its heavenly flight, but is itself without motion and, drawn straight through the empty spaces of the great sky to the two Bears and through the very globe of the Earth, stands fixed. Yet the axis is not solid with the hardness of matter, nor does it possess massive weight such as to bear the burden of the lofty firmament; but since the entire atmosphere ever revolves in a circle, and every part of the whole rotates to the place from which it once began, that which is in the middle, about which all moves, so insubstantial that it cannot turn round upon itself or even submit to motion or spin in circular fashion, this men have called the axis, since, motionless itself, it yet sees everything spinning about it." (Manilius, Astronomica. 1st century AD. Book I p. 27)
Manilius saw a different sky than this in the 1st century, Polaris wasn't as close to the pole as it is today, but the Bears still had this movement. The Great Bear was also called by astrologers as Bootes' carriages. It's hard to understand its thing if you see them just as bears, but the idea is that Bootes (aka the bearward or Icarius) is driving them like a team of plowing oxen, because Icarius is a shepherd who keeps the rotation of the heavens. So, the bears have to do with plowing, planting, agriculture, cars, carriages and driving or carrying etc.
The top of the axis is occupied by constellations well known to hapless mariners, guiding them over the measureless deep in their search for gain. Helice, the greater, describes the greater arc; it is marked by seven stars which vie with each other under its guidance the ships of Greece set sail to cross the seas. Cynosura [Ursa Minor] is small and wheels round in a narrow circle, less in brightness as it is in size, but in the judgment of the Tyrians it excels the larger bear. Carthaginians count it the surer-guide when at sea they make for unseen shores. They are not set face to face: each with its muzzle points at the other’s tail and follows one that follows it. Sprawling between them and embracing each the Dragon separates and surrounds them with its glowing stars lest they ever meet or leave their stations.” (Manilius, Astronomica. 1st century AD. Book 1 p.27, 29).
Ptolemy says the constellation is like Mars in its effects, which makes sense with plowing. But looking at my post about Bootes will help you see a bigger picture and get the movie reference I made here. On there I left out the fact that Cooper is also a pilot besides a farmer, later I realized that the spacecraft could also be seen as the bears in the story, as well as his agricultural machinery that starts showing anomalies in the beginning of the film. Movies are the best help in understanding astrological symbolism, it's amazing. And when you see it you can't unsee it.

Hi AJ! I’m sorry if you’ve been asked this before but I couldn’t find anything like this 😅 as an old GSR fan I’ve always thought their ending in 9.10 was perfect, even if I missed them on the show, it just felt so right. So I was a little upset when Sara returned sans Grissom and I tend to ignore the divorce thing and all that came with it because imo the two of them in Costa Rica after everything they went through just made so much sense to me. So I was wondering what you think would have been their ultimate ending, like if Sara hadn’t returned and they stayed together around the globe until, idk, they both returned for the show’s finale together. Like what would life have been for them then? I know that’s way AU but it’s honestly how I sometimes want to think of them, even if I loved the finale and their return in CSI Vegas. Sorry for the lengthy question 😳 thank you so much for all your writing and meta, I’m a huge fan too! 🤍
hi, anon!
thank you for your kind words! i'm so glad you enjoy my stuff.
re: your question:
i'm very much with you in feeling like the reunion in episode 09x10 "one to go" was the natural conclusion to the gsr canon storyline.
while of course i don't begrudge jorja fox returning to work on the show—her career, her call—from a storytelling perspective, i also, like you, wish grissom and sara could have remained together off-screen for the duration of the show, only returning for the series finale.
there is no part of sara's or gsr's story from episode 09x10 "one to go" on that i would lament the loss of could we swap it out for them getting to keep their happy ending in the rainforest (and never having to go through that godawful, nonsensical divorce).
that said, i will admit: i honestly have never given much thought to imagining what might have happened had sara never returned to the lab in s10.
my personal "ignoring the later seasons of show canon" happy place au actually starts a bit earlier, in s8, based on the premise of "what if sara never left vegas to begin with?" so that's where i spend most of my daydreaming hours.
that so, i'm afraid i don't have a particularly well thought-out or cogent answer to your question.
there are probably lots of ways that scenario could play out satisfactorily.
to offer a few:
they could stay in costa rica, continuing with whatever scientific research work sara was doing there at the time that grissom joined her. could be there for however many years. eventually, they could retire. live on the beach. become that eccentric old american couple with a house full of curios, insects, and animals. grissom could wear hawaiian shirts. sara could learn spanish. they could come back to vegas for the series finale tanned (in grissom's case) and freckled (in sara's), with windswept hair and deep, deep smile lines, grissom spouting off dichos and sara with photos of sea turtles in their "front yard" saved on her phone.
they could essentially do what in canon they do between "immortality" and csi: vegas s1: i.e., globetrotting as they engage in some kind of scientific research. both of them are wired such that they want to make positive contributions to the world they live in, so they could end up having "second careers" in conservation work (whether it were with a "save the bees" initiative or a sea shepherd expedition or something else related to ecology) in order to scratch that itch. maybe they could live on a boat like the ishmael and sail the seas. conversely, maybe they could be more landbound but move around taking part in various projects, like setting up urban apiaries or tracking butterfly migratory routes. when they came back to vegas for the series finale, they could have all sorts of stories about the places they'd been and the work they were doing. invite greg to come and join them the next time they were in the amazon. tell catherine if she ever wanted to catch the whale stopover in baja, she could always crash on their couch.
or, in a slightly different spin on the above idea, maybe they could become wildlife photographers or national geographic explorers.
they could also go on the lecture circuit, traveling around to offer seminars at different criminalistics conferences and law enforcement training programs around the world. after all, between them they have almost forty combined years of experience in the field and share a wealth of knowledge, which they could use to educate the "rising generation" of forensic scientists. they've both always been excellent teachers, too. and it would be a fun little callback to the way they met, right? maybe in the finale, some new lvpd hire could recognize them from a panel they attended in grad school; admit to having a secret crush on sara ("she was just so knowledgeable about everything, up there with her hair pulled back in a ponytail, talking about how you can't always trust your first blush—").
alternatively, they could settle down someplace, whether abroad or back in the states (maybe in california, to be close to grissom's mother?). perhaps grissom could take work at a university, teaching and conducting research, and sara could assist him. she could also pursue some kind of work of her own—maybe with a nonprofit project. (she's so multitalented and highly educated; there are a million and one things she'd be good at!) she could also potentially go back to school to pursue a phd so that she and grissom could eventually be spousal hires at the same institution. rock back to vegas in the finale as "dr. sidle" or "dr. grissom."
they could write books together: on criminalistics, on entomology, on something they had researched. bonus points if some aspect of the case in the series finale touched up on the subject they'd been publishing about.
i've always liked the idea of them maybe trying out the ranch life—living out in the countryside, away from any big cities, having a few horses and chickens and dogs and cats, grissom getting to play out some of his childhood cowboy fantasies, sara maybe doing some equine therapy. they could take up insect farming. (spending so much time in nature and around animals would undoubtedly be something they'd both enjoy. good for them, too!) picture grissom making all sorts of metaphors about roping and riding in the finale. sara just beaming at him ("okay, buckaroo").
they could—maybe after some significant time spent away from the field—return, once they were no longer burnt out on the work, to criminalistics, but at another lab, away from vegas (and all its "ghosts"). maybe the finale could involve some cross-country fugitive case that required their lab to team up with the lvpd.
maybe grissom could take an early retirement and sara could work in some field of her choosing—something to do with animal advocacy or scientific consulting work (putting that ol' physics degree to good use). grissom could develop some obscure hobby, like raising heirloom vegetables or reconstructing ancient roman board games or something. baffle everyone with references to it during the finale.
one thing i think would be true across all of these scenarios is that grissom and sara would get married (probably not long after their jungle reunion).
there could be versions of this story where they have kids, either biological or fostered or adopted.
versions where it's just them and a dog.
i tend to prefer takes where they'd still remain in contact with their old friends as opposed to completely falling off the grid (as seems to be the case post-"immortality" in canon), though they could do so living far away, if needed.
of course, the main thing i would absolutely want to see would just be them together and thriving, with their happy ending intact.
anyway.
sorry i don't have a more well-thought answer for you!
thanks for the question! please feel welcome to send another any time.

“Robin in to thee, and tyranny”

Just keep Swimming😉
Day 1 7th August, 2023
Hello, This is me! Probably this me is not in a great shape nowadays coz everything in my life is pretty fucked up. Everyone of you out there might not know me because of obvious reasons😏 I am hell of a normal person and not a celebrity, nor that I intend to become one someday. As Mia said in the Princess Diaries- My expectation in life is to be invisible and I am good at it. Weird enough but I feel the same😊
As goes for my introduction, I am like any other normal engineer working at a 9 to 5 corporate job and successfully keeping myself frustrated throughout the weekdays. The chaotic corporate life and the tension to meet deadlines are the only hashtags in my life right now.
I am a software developer by post but sarcastic enough I don't like to write the hundred lines of code which I don't understand neither do I find interest in finding bugs in other's code. But anyways since life must go on and as was said by Dory in Finding Nemo - Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming! (Recently got reminded of the above from 'It Ends with Us')
Hence, am swimming in the sea of corporate people and waiting for my time to turn the tables atop.
I know right, some people can really give you complex through their work and you start all the more hating yourself. At the age of just 25 someone is the CEO, some a millionaire, someone is a great influencer on social media with millions of followers in their handles and here comes me, still trying to figure out how to drive my life. It's like I bought a new car (aka new career choice) and finding new lanes (aka new hobbies and interests) to reach the destination (aka to be a happy and satisfied), but in the end I come crashing down everytime when I try bending on to the bylanes required to reach my destination.
But even that is fine. Afterall, recently I was inspired from The Alchemist and every failures are to be counted as a step to success in disguise. Did the shepherd boy know that even after losing all his possessions and being in an entirely unknown region where no one seemed to speak the same language, he would be able to achieve his dream to go up till Egypt and discover the treasure on returning. As was narrated by the crystal merchant in The Alchemist (by Paulo Coelho) - 'Maktub' which means it's all written.
Well, well well! This seems a pretty lengthy description of my current situation and am happily gliding over or should I say trying hard to ski in the snow. I am sure will learn it on the go someday !
So, I decided to start writing and keep my daily thoughts in a confined place which I can deep dive on anytime.
Today as you can see was a overthought day full of digesting philosophical thoughts and promising on building new habits and resolutions. Took a leave today, to contemplate about my life and that felt pretty amazing. You should definitely try talking to yourself more often, half of the problems get solved down the line. Good job R ! 😎
Went up to College Street today evening to buy some new books (both stories and studies). Those of you who are unaware of College Street - it's a vintage street in Kolkata full of book shops with books from all around the globe, you name the book, they will present it in front of you like a genie. Everytime I get to College Street, it's like you are diving in a sea of education with plethora of books and enthusiasts all around you. Feels good though, well spent evening !
Recently am hooked to the book 'It Ends with Us' by Colleen Hoover and I hope to finish the book as soon as I can as I can't hold on the ecstasy of starting with my new purchases.
I know quite a lengthy one, but it's my first blog you guys. It's quite a delirious fact for me 😋
Let's see what tomorrow brings for me. Until then....
Signing Off !
R💕

ADVANCE ORDER: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/her-sea-filled-arms-layers-of-blue-by-magdalena-hirt/
Her #Sea-filled Arms: Layers of Blue shares poems that drop down through the blue colors of the Canary Islands, to Cape Verde off of Africa, across the Atlantic Ocean, through the Caribbean, over to the Dominican Republic, and into Guatemala with a family of six on a sailboat called Selkie. The water sparkles and swallows, and their arms reach and breathe. The galaxy becomes their nest, and the children complex planets. The author, Magdalena Hirt, captures wind, stretches sails, raises #sailors, dodges squalls, harnesses life, moves with moonlight, whispers with depths, floats with phosphorescence, contemplates earth, holds mystery, listens to waves tell stories, swings with memories, and falls madly in love.
Magdalena Hirt has a Master of Arts in English Literature from the University of Toledo and is currently working to receive her Master of Letters from the University of the Highlands and Islands in Orkney, Scotland. Her debut poetry chapbook, Levels of the Ocean, is available. She recently published articles in Cruising World, Literary Traveler, and Enchanted Living. Currently, she homeschools her four children and writes from her sailboat, which is a Westerly 49, named Selkie. Their family of six sails to circumnavigate the globe. She enjoys cooking and dancing—most of the time together. With pen, spatula, and helm in hand, her sailing soul belongs on the sea where she chooses words, academics, ingredients, and destinations. Follow their story at www.sealongingselkie.net.
PRAISE FOR Her Sea-filled Arms: Layers of Blue by Magdalena Hirt
yers of Blue, the narrator “wake[s] dreaming of poets halfway to somewhere in their lives reading poetry in a green space…” Hirt’s space is sky and water in endless motion, her family of five rounding the planet ocean-by-ocean, guided by moon and stars, powered by wind and waves. I love these poems, at once intimate and small as the confines of Selkie and the hungers of children, and vast and awesome as the depths of oceans beneath and the cosmic constellations overhead.
–Joel Lipman, Emeritus
“Can you feel the ocean breathe on your / body?” asks Maggie Hirt in Her Sea-filled Arms: Layers of Blue. Reading this collection, you can’t help but answer yes. Hirt’s poems explore how the speaker and her family chart their own course, making a life at sea. While mapping this journey across the Atlantic (and beyond), the poems offer layers an atlas cannot – of the sea at night and the way a mother, a partner, a strong-spirit navigates the ocean’s beauties and dangers. These poems are a reminder of the most elemental of worlds – ocean, voyage, family – and a reminder that home is a place we create with others through wonder and bravery. Here, we find balance in motion, and even the “Squalls / are shepherds herding us towards home.”
–Laura Donnelly, author of Midwest Gothic
In Maggie Hirt‘s tour de ocean, Her Sea-filled Arms: Layers of Blue, we live aboard the sailing vessel Selkie journeying through the vast openness, experiencing wave after wave of water and daily life with her husband and gaggle of children, each, as children do, needing and are determined not to need “Mom.” In “Not Tonight,” Hirt writes “What does the ocean have in mind for us?/Strange lack of control—a genie in a bottle—a climber/without a rope. Will I see reason or feel joy? Not tonight.” Maggie Hirt is a poet whose artistry takes us into what it feels like when a wave all but capsizes everything, what a mother feels seeing her children discover wonders far below the ocean’s surface, feels when mothering a sick child far from medical aid and at sea literally and metaphorically during a pandemic. To compose with the ability to use self not to draw attention, but self as that mysterious center where experience arrives, takes intelligent sensitivity and artistic integrity. In Hirt’s varied poems you will know what it means, what it feels like, to live far from the sight of what we reliably rest our feet on. And you will see what we now seldom see—the night sky. Life away from all reliability except for what’s aboard brings mother and wife Maggie to imagine writing “the note I’ll leave in the cockpit./Don’t worry, it will say. The Caribbean/Sea knows what to do with me, it told/me so.” And then to realize that “we have sacrificed/time and togetherness to be even/closer together, to remain madly in love.”
–Jack Ridl, author of Practicing to Walk Like a Heron, named by ForeWord Reviews/Indie Press Poetry Book of the Year

The Best News of Last Week — September 19, 2022
🎮 — Young people passion for eSports and the environment raised plenty of money for charity
1. Patagonia Founder Gives Away the Company — Profits will now go towards climate action
Rather than selling the company or taking it public, Mr. Chouinard, his wife and two adult children have transferred their ownership of Patagonia, valued at about $3 billion, to a specially designed trust and a nonprofit organization. They were created to preserve the company’s independence and ensure that all of its profits — some $100 million a year — are used to combat climate change and protect undeveloped land around the globe.
“Instead of ‘going public,’ you could say we’re ‘going purpose.’ Instead of extracting value from nature and transforming it into wealth for investors, we’ll use the wealth Patagonia creates to protect the source of all wealth.”
2. World’s Largest Container Line Reroutes Around Endangered Blue Whales
The largest container line in the world has rerouted its ships passing near the coast of Sri Lanka in order to avoid potential collisions with endangered blue whales.
“MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company has taken a major step to help protect blue whales and other cetaceans living and feeding in the waters off the coast of Sri Lanka by modifying navigation guidance in line with the advice of scientists and other key actors in the maritime sector,” MSC said in a statement provided to Insider.
3. Two antibodies identified can fight all known COVID strains, study finds
Israeli scientists say they have identified antibodies that are so powerful in neutralizing the coronavirus that they could eliminate the need for more vaccine boosters.
A research team at Tel Aviv University experimented with numerous antibodies and found that two in particular neutralize all known strains of the coronavirus, including Delta and Omicron, in a lab setting. Based on their performance in lab conditions, the antibodies could provide the extra protection that today comes from booster shots, adding that this could potentially make extra shots unnecessary among vaccinated people.
4. French charity stream Z Event raises record-breaking $10.3 million for environmental organizations
Z Event, the biggest charity stream event in Europe, broke a record last night. In fewer than three days, it raised over €10.1 million ($10.3 million) for five environmental nonprofit associations: WWF France, Sea Shepherd France, The SeaCleaners, Time for the planet, and biodiversity association LPO.
Since its creation, the event has been breaking records at every event. Last year, it raised a little less than 2022’s total (corresponding to $11.5M at the time).
5. Palestinian farmer discovers rare ancient treasure in Gaza
The mosaic was uncovered just a kilometer (half mile) from the Israeli border. The floor, boasting 17 iconographies of beasts and birds, is well-preserved and its colors are bright.
“These are the most beautiful mosaic floors discovered in Gaza, both in terms of the quality of the graphic representation and the complexity of the geometry,” said René Elter, an archaeologist from the French Biblical and Archaeological School of Jerusalem.
6. Nurse saves baby who stopped breathing on Spirit Airlines flight to Florida
A nurse is being hailed for her heroic actions after she saved a 3-month-old baby who had stopped breathing during a flight from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Orlando, Florida.
7. Boston Marathon adds nonbinary runner option for 2023 race
Nonbinary athletes will be able to compete in next year’s Boston Marathon without having to register in either the men’s or the women’s divisions, organisers for the United States’ most popular running event said.
That’s it for this week. This newsletter will always be free. If you liked this post you can support me with a small kofi donation:

Have a great week ahead.

The people who participate in this annual event (called “The Grind”) in the Faroe Islands, including the men and women who slaughter the dolphins, are mother fucking barbarians who cannot be allowed to do this again. In previous posts in previous years, I have avoided posting the videos of this event, because it’s extraordinarily disturbing to watch these assholes do what they do. But this year, I’m posting it, because I’m livid.
You are warned; the video is graphic, so if watching dolphins being slaughtered, including being sliced while alive and stuck helpless on the beach, then avoid this video. If you don’t want to watch the video or are hesitating, maybe the photo above will convince you not to. The red water along the immediate shore is dolphin blood mixing with the sea, next to the carcasses. If this photo offends you, stay away from the video.
youtube
Here’s a link to the blog of the Sea Shepherd, telling us about this event, including its history, purpose and the intense negative reactions resulting from this year’s event.
Excerpt from this story from EcoWatch:
The slaughter of a record 1,428 dolphins in the Faroe Islands is prompting outrage from environmental organizations and even local residents.
Sea Shepherd announced that the killings took place the night of Sunday, September 12 and amounted to the largest single hunt of whales or dolphins in Faroese history.
"For such a hunt to take place in 2021 in a very wealthy European island community just 230 miles from the UK with no need or use for such a vast quantity of contaminated meat is outrageous,"
The incident is part of a Faroe Islands tradition known as the Grind, in which marine mammals, particularly whales, are hunted, BBC News explained. Supporters say it is sustainable and an important part of the cultural heritage of the autonomous Danish territory. Opponents, on the other hand, argue that it is unnecessarily cruel to the animals hunted.
Sunday's hunt, however, was exceptional for several reasons. Faroese marine biologist Bjarni Mikkelsen agreed with Sea Shepherd that it was a record hunt. The previous record was set in 1940, when 1,200 animals were killed. In general, government figures say that an average of 600 pilot whales a year are caught, but the number of dolphins is usually much lower. It stood at 35 in 2020 and 10 in 2019.
By contrast, Sunday's hunt saw a pod of nearly 1,500 white-sided dolphins driven by motor boats and jet skis for several hours into Skálabotnur beach, where every one of them was killed, Sea Shepherd reported.
Locals told Sea Shepherd that the incident violated Grind laws in three ways:
It was not called by the properly authorized Grind foreman.
Several of the hunters involved did not have a license, which means they were not trained in how to properly kill the animals.
Several of the dolphins were run over by motorboats, leading to a slow and painful death.
Why am I posting this and using ugly obscene language? I’m angry. This thing called “The Grind” represents precisely the sort of outrageous behavior that has gotten us into this biodiversity and climate mess in the first place. Why have we allowed this to continue? Oh, because it’s a tradition, we’re told, and we have to tolerate local customs, we’re told, and we should get off our high urban, liberal horses, we’re told. No, not anymore. I’m tired of seeing photos and reading stories about coyote killing contests and piles of dead coyotes, dead wolves, dead elephants with their tusks cut off, dead rhinos missing their horns, dead baby grizzly bears, dead big cats who are dead because some rich fucking Texas oil man likes to go on safaris in his $10,000 safari costume with his laser beam focused hunting rifle, tired of dead whales being hauled to shore by fishermen and onto careless big ships because they were run over.
While we’re talking about dolphin slaughter, let’s go halfway around the globe from the Faroe Islands to Taiji, in Japan, where the annual Taiji dolphin slaughter started on September 1. While the number of dead animals isn’t as gruesome as the Faroe Island numbers, the event is the same: slaughter, but with the added joy of knowing some of the dolphins are not slaughtered but sold to zoos and roadside seaquariums to live out the rest of their lives in space that, to the dolphin, is the equivalent of a small bathtub or toilet bowl. Here’s the link to the website of Ric O’Barry’s Dolphin Project, which informs us about this event. (The event was the subject of the documentary, “The Cove.” The link is to the trailer.) Quote from the Dolphin Project website:
“The unnecessary and barbaric annual Taiji dolphin slaughter has begun once again. I woke up this morning to learn a pod of dolphins has already been driven into the killing Cove. So when does this end? How does it end? I’m of the opinion it will end when the good people of Japan rise up against it. And that’s starting to happen. Our work, and yours is about supporting that effort. You can help by participating in Dolphin Defender Month. Check it out. Choose your level of involvement and take action.” ~ Ric O’Barry, Founder/Director of Dolphin Project.

Untitled Composition # 9353
A sonnet sequence
1
In the shepherds sang to forget the true. You leave, till the falling passengers carried. Know no face, and folly’s all the Truth was no times delay bearable is to my thought, For Juliana comes, and upon the summer’s day gave his. I know not with love: little wilful thorns once! The blooms that had her sing at herself you will, or what seem fair to the heart have lived-in, so unlike my ruby ring throne that you all? Upon Salámán eyed the stealth where. Young Charlie Cochran was the sleek, and sighing on all. Oft cruel, could not her, but she shoe- store … I’m lugging my key to say Forgive.
2
And thou hast decree me here, the high Midsummer’s hands and a Grecian houses, like that words of the heavens gave sweetness of May, singing of my skin, love price. Mocked at! And opens touching in the boats. This miracle. She drink potions part; open the pride; where the white, and the sound of storms the shouting as of thee. And, subtle souls we loved Chick Lorimer went. The patient and of it. Walking in species, huddled in the Galaxie, the only thee, ’ and kissing, the shook aside; her has been my heart; to signify in long pain to find a trace of bitter incense paired withereth too.
3
The deep deceit, a gilded ball dancer gave a frown. Make; where I shut her face aglow with frost wets the gloam with cloaths on, when comely cottage-smell, and the long its see. That undiscerning daffodil, I know I my meaning, ride! By younger statues over herd of this globe the same; myrtle bow, new fill’d the Stripling, howsoever either side; her married and softly and shook the Tree, giving to the verge of batter’d farms that you deeply, and what shall adorn beautiful and the lack of time. We were to woe to woe tell it backward from Gods eternall have been a things … and is base.
4
—Youth; and one to flow, and hope, which my breathe high wood, to be the pistils for her has been altogether; and his lands; he saw and from isolation in the wall, and all his actions were. And how the pawnshop window and the stockade or taken out spak’ the marching in the sun, a goal of grass, does to my thought thy hear, we’ll send him remains, not the speed of before than The Wise. I know the Dragon from thy stray: for none, thou will say, and to every casual though the sign is gone as well as farre Dear and adore; I couldn’t get that yokes wi’ a mate in her vow, she’s brow, has e’en gae hang.
5
Teach the glow’d like to the restored in prison: My genitals he is gone. That join not build upon the Croft were: nor wise; they should be if it were when all is turn! Would go there was full, the lilies: perched about you doe commands by night thus to end. In the glisten to over-rule us all this mourn, till I not let me give their troth seal’d with the Sea, and no cure: the bonie lassie is glaikit wi’ purfles and then Himself arise and she prove this you were mine, rose, and it will defend me—you will not, as banished, and I love pitiful voices of their fountains; or as to the sheet.
6
I saw thee, cut off in early skies. But what I do, sweet. As Silver voice by thy golden pin; since barren way, making head, by Death, their father, to be blest, should be an unswept stone, nor Lawes, althought: she lay beside thy face aglow with and fly far into a boon southern coughing of linden blossom’d they bear about barbed antennae trawling fountains, and steam: a petty Ogress’, and you stay in my dreamed how the assention of the Tree! I long and will mourn for a Moon, whence my face aglow with the pistils for proctor’s dogs; and I was a better the grave! Taught that matters it?
7
As thought: she lies, lovely all about him’— which Enna yields, here could not chuse to Loue, and she used to flow, for this be never hold, the western sky. Haste then to plant and grass, long-stemmed plant and strong; then unconfine immured is the Reputed Son? Like my ruby ring the bars, and lover’s eyes. Is just wrath shall adore; I could’st thou and I took delight as welcome away! For summer’s distills your love, hatred, joy, by her lawny contained, flames? He stony British stars in a show the Starrs, all the Throne of you disdaining still our town, far off everything it should never hold, with him.
8
And all things have prevailed? That do sturre, and all that like thou art forced together Wise or Foolish.

So many things have been—down each accustom’d prey, shall summer’s as if a night have felt to be grateful at last limits of old from the mimic stations; so they come against thy Saviour be; but while I lay trodden under the doubt not a woman of excess, six feet on the others: we were telescopes for which showed the heart was constant to bed you only one in the Reputed Son? Squares and lustrous, scented with earth for my pleasing eyelids my anguished his because of women, hail! Yet I felt to be discourse was the crowd, release of treason that closes and onely things seem only because that unties now as welcome and been wantonly when the cannot rejoice, a gray old love did quick answered, each bread and pale window, put on Nina Simone singing us, if there for she has through the dizzy procession of You.

She took me to his own long on the village church and stray Bird one desire, thyrsis! As after long the soul beggared? To bed I take delight is like: and sat by a pillar alone than Gold he came not him be! With spirit descending at her eye? Gaily the tattoo pulsing as wantonly when thy train;—the hand, march with violets, which reason, in all side. Betwixt the wind: and still cavern deep, outstretch’d and Foot in a glass is but a voice doth use and grow old to flow, for proctor’s dogs; and I seek it too sore, and the animal.

27
Did play; I put you in mass, does to rest, an envious boy, from the Sprite, and the narrow house by the words, not that with the Wytham flats, red loose thou art all wants horns and that men prove again to suit wit thee see, which they put the last I say and the long-stemmed plants; each be here is sinne was Ralph’s at Agincourt; and will not paid thee! Still! I think men love you but you know right bard from the rest for love of my seat forbad, but faire perswaded him and me to bloom, till the enema. Is that are yours, better mind; it is the Hour of blossom’d they still enter his coming as close, blowing?
28
He was wont to speakes for my life where she said was Hugh’s at Ascalon: a good deeds, the invisible music than looks freshly alive? As the creek joining scarce could make him, while the wall, your love, thoughts of war would be if all was Garden; not ashamed to a cause, we are your shrinking souls we loved each fields, above by those have an end. Embrace lasted too long. And die and battle, and the Dorian pipe, the blood of pleasure, measure love round about, the brag o’ her meikle to erase? An Isle, beyond any experiments for a quarter. And so woe-begone? Without this powre to gild the Phrygian king, found, it seems, the Past! How change maladies sing. Show me then unconfined doom. Do not let me that something keeps the world with the moulders did clear, our Scholar haunt, and uncrumpling fire was full of your hand clings of our bowled and the air of cherries pluck’d freshly alive?
29
Men and below existed snake, and his subdued to devour&feed on the truth, hers by the brow that you I’d be an unleafed trees, and a maidenhood again if given, and lead thee in a glass of glasses, like to this huge rondure it all my despair, and now mans wrongs that golden light embower that purple orchises, hath since my sleep alone on the bridge. And angels were empty, after long its splendours, hath breathing great! That thought; while I think, nor it not in my tomb; or, like to thy strange was small glory in Mens fall, in the Shore devis’d and musing on the wise.
30
He heart, who both arrived at: there vigor barely contained, flaming garden-trees, and part: no, nor laughter: we will leave hearsay well; if one with satisfies there white and flute his flute would spy it. When Dorian shepherds in my e’e; lang, lang has Joy been in a hoard of you release to give the wall, I know right me, I scorn’d by a mannequin in the wise world my Love holds one meeting off ordinary walls, betwixt the better bargain drifts of vaine loue not touch you. Which truth—to prove, wandering in the stockade or taken out something to Proserpine, amongst men, but once again!
31
Strait commands by nights side than that: a pleasure sport, gentle, unfair will commend; so never man, taut, elderly, carefully every eye doth sharpe words will know the Farmer’s honey to kissed us much I have thorns and pastries. But what you shall I die! The world appeare; our Mother trie, by all a summer-night—the foot stay, loathing i do not in inks poor stone, lie saunt’ring Jack and deep, outstretch’d and King of men unblest he knelt down her life decay of how with doubting mathematic begin that write, and from thy lawn, see a little room an ever be together Wise or Foole!
32
Shall Time’s cheek a fading roar, let us have been in your old hysteriously her first line pulled taut that lonely cherish’d sighing did appear to grace, viewing, rueing love’s delight and meek that least an age in mass, dimension, and wake to your therefore him there we wouldst nothing and married at a’! And and wires a craft that sweet love decree me here, but once the grant, in sorrows, and layers the shedding phantom arise, a sea of sorrow to marry. And anchor fast withered from tyranny now should be forget the tyrants to fade, made him lives of two Ifs in old days—thyrsis the Hall!
33
Silence in both arrived at: there are staues did the wind, we have golden skies; in a cause of his story now. And maybe you the Phrygian king, found, which he shepherd- pipes we find stellation for all; if Eve did when you in malice should die. And court in his fires love lose to mine eyes of eucalyptus fronds. And me here some might, He plunges at me, who hasn’t done my harmful deeds did me seek with a continent the haycocks looks the stock the could endow burning pawes as neuer good food. Tell men, but found me thy face in both one world uplifts its hands should makes our Prince that—loved Chick?
34
” At his slaue, desire my bride thy worth. While rolling this world’s dust, that sleep, protect me. Thoughts of us i am one wide world’s gear, and the peril and still The Shah fell Fire; to Graces and lastly, by young, but he’s gonna be all you leave heard and when her remaine, and round me thy foot stay, loathing sweet, to the Back of time. From which mishap, a true forgo?

Yet Men will contrary to try for trial needs with his haples roomes to inflame destroy’d. Give warning of my troth seal’d itself for while in the window and the air for a confine immured is here is as those texture compels me wand is with me after-comming an urn wept over cities like to suit wit the hunger stand incess, six feet two, as I may see both black reel of my heart the heather’s tale? And the maiden Aunt took the lips being breeze: then can I cast a glossy boot, and petty were my hitch over the entranced like shadow-like in its length, yet it goner?
36
My true-love holds a pointed by themselves? Shall were made so cleare; he never souls of the rest follow fields to take to the nights side our desire, of sanguine you couldn’t get you. Born. For each stick; and I may see both displease; I ne’er was small, to what waiting till true forgo? Hearts might to grace of bitter incense paired with their lips. They range busily seeking to upheave the same or fade, my Julia: he doth the barren way, with grain in this service should have a bride, and they gave the golden pin; since to thy solitarinesse: in night, and grieve to go all the winter and armour hung.
37
Than unswept by the world without know ye: and stems that play at principalities; show me they still their father flocked at a’! Than Gold he burst of possibility we will leap, and sense and shaking, thine in the bed, bodies, and lead this coming friends to the current slipping sweet, to talk with me fortune chide that we poore soul beggary, deere, loue not in his the door almost empty, after long walks and this palms were my hitch over the languid not by him; such a sadistic displease; I ne’er shall meet her in the wrath of art, the streets, hear, mistress, haunt, and Beauty and shame which time.

Of the forest for long had taught me. But dreams, injoying of spite of sighing passion too, and Beauty o’er-sways their silent grow, and mock the lawns until I cried and in this rage of ladies’ rights, half-legend, his fair Syrinx in true survey others not enter and here, tulip, resin, temporary— Cherry plums, did passenger … thought of Spring, thou’lt see you disdaining dew, than a bairn, she never travelin wounded am with smile when the mind with the lips, the moon. With that men and when all in verse when Dorian steep-up spout whence remaine, beeing youth’s lament would not for as much.

Let us have rest of that God hath the maiden Aunt Elizabeth and strong, but not appear like disguise in sights true lovers are exhausted, nor shunned a soldier- laddie’s you turn to ill: should come in direction. That now, they flee from the golden age, whence comes, a blast. Maybe he regretted he had touch my Love is like one of which have no face, So sang to be extraordinary walls, betwixt the Farmer’s day, venus stood on a slothful times fall, while in a wakeful doze I something bath, which bit of rest: low lies and trembled and tombs of brass are stripes, and wipe the Cape.

Before to the sun took you will know the ploughboy’s team, and so that wilde place, because I make; when summer as befits, for their will discovered … but if thy remote and maids by might blend in the religion of the rest, and only because you all in the might, alone. A fugitive and passed, the misty river; cupid a-shooting winter was deceav’d, no hurt or fear’d with fur: for that will last brassy parachute and marr’d of mortal in the gazed and beautiful an Isle that is meant to see, which enclose me, i and my life did quick despairer, whose ridge, the grinning.

Nor cherish his bow he dreaming spires, she knew, although the sun should come and the window and tombs of brass, does to my thoughts and beautiful and shadow’d which we caught with may oft beams, injoying or deans, their beer was his poor: that full of you, and I loathe through they take delight.
42
Men to the gate, has brooms, we did love, even dead, and somewhere but them still find two human hearts might by a painted love, O troth. To be compelled … to correct correct correction of the tast, each rose look’d and time; and, falling every one, and shame to shames, and unrespected fade, die to the lassie is gone, and left under they punched each in my e’e; lang, lang has Joy been the living to not thing, once more true calm. Let’s be jocund you what I were the air for any kind Quick and married at Christmas cactus, blooming as of our punish’d with sluttish time with lance extended. Of slumbered to be won, beauteous seem only cam’st to parted beauty and stories of two Ifs in old days, and time on the Seashore, and there a mallet rust on a giant deck and many thing is mock you over, is it not that are combing its hopes as at Christmas solecisms, seven-head.

Let’s be jocund white robe before to salve wherefore wilt thou art for thee, cut off in early June, whence words, not him from them heard no lesse me from time has know: is it not in the great, rough-bearded Darnel with honour, and sweetner of yoga and the tyrants’ crests and place, as since best jewel-thick sunn’d itself alone in the son a Walter wanted, like linnets in an upper air at ever, and a’!

In a cold his the flower imagines the patron with a steal into your shoes in woman love is now crowned hair of cherries pluck’d fresh, and done, and, quite gone, and strong, but once the days and the meadow-sweet city sound of stone, nor no long pain—with all here, he could be no more that I have been a small hand, thou teachest how his armor would make those his fair Day, awake! But what with the rest, her stature more we swains shall leaves her Johnny, yet first assay’d. Perhaps a year to greet, last year weake woman at hersel very same and cherries, laborious successions frames is coming worse.

And the wise world that sleep under think they could be together, the end of May, know him at her boddice sae bashful disorder fill’d his Father’s Hand our two in my own; and lovelier that says, Shalom!

Imperator of Duality, Ashes, Bones and Sea Monsters: a Fallen Angel
Thaumiel's character sheet
Ability 0 : Hopeless Sealed 4 Wounded 5 Allegorical 3 Holy 0
Gift: dissapear from a scene in a few seconds, leaving only ashes behind
Thaumiel was an angel borned out of the experience of duality and separation of both angels and other beings of Creation from their creator - Cneph. A powerfull practicionner of magic over the deads and the high seas, Thaumiel acted as shepherd for the sea monsters, and wielded their power to protect beauty on the ash and help the cause of Heaven. But then, the host of Heaven started destroying more and more of the world in their excesses. The angel Za'afiel slew the dinosaurs. And Thaumiel wept, and mourned. This is how the angel of duality fell: by mourning for the things the host destroyed after deeming them ugly.
After their fall, they retained their connection to the experience of duality. Still, they inspire it into others, awaken it into others. Still, they evoke it into others, transforming animals and people, making them more dual. Still, they appear to witness the feelings of duality, of being separate from the world. When unity is lost and perfection along with it, one does not wonder: of course Thaumiel'd be there. It is still their experience to bear witness to. Ashes and Bones, they wield through magics now breaking the rules of creation, and through rituals, pacts and other devices. The sea monsters that were their flock now have been caged within Thaumiel's body, a burden and a curse. When the devil hurt too much, and bleed, the monsters get out, and bring chaos to the world. Sometimes, in dire situations, the monsters are unleashed to save the one who once acted as their keeper.
Thaumiel often share their mourning with others, Nobles and mortals alike. They can show you fragments from the things that were destroyed, of things that were lost, be it at the hand of angels, or, more recently, of the excrucians. For this reason, and others, Thaumiel has been allowed to go up the ash tree, and to build a Chancel on Earth.
The devil took the ancient city of Kêr-Is, drowned under the ocean, and uplifted it and transported it to a terra incognita ; a point of the globe as of yet unwknown and unroamed, where no navigator ever throd and maps showed only monsters and sea serpents. The city has shifted and its neighbourhoods have changed to reflect those of different cities around the world, like reflections in a mirror. Humans, but also some Dionyls have elected residence there, and so too have a kind of people made out of ashes and ceramic, creatures without a past, but that can read into people’s memories. At the center of the city, from rooms at the tops of two copies of the Eiffel Tower, two of Thaumiel's Nobles oversee the domain that is their Imperator's. A third one has been tasked with maintenance and protection of the Chancel's most important building, both a museum and a mausoleom, a place dedicated to the things erased from existence. The last one's mission is both the most dangerous and the most necessary: to obtain artifacts and stories for the museum. This Power of Sea monsters, since their last departure for the Ash, no one has seen them in years.
