I got emotional seeing this picture

The Trimates: Fossey, Goodall, Galdikas

[ape-apocalypse]

can you reccomend some of the documentaries you watched about apes?

Funny enough, I've been planning on making a list of documentaries so thanks for the push! I’ve watched a bunch to hype up for Kingdom and I’ll keep watching as we wait for POTA news. These are what I've been able to find with my various subscription services and internet access in the USA so their availability may vary for you. Also a warning that, due to these being non-fiction documentaries there is very real footage of animal injuries and death (from both humans and natural circumstances).

Monkey Business (Amazon Prime) - A long running show (9 seasons) about a primate rescue center in the UK. I really loved this one because you got to follow apes of the course of years. I even cried when one ape who had been there from the first season passed away in the final season. The show mostly focuses on chimps and orangutans but also features lemurs, woolly monkeys, gibbons and other species. The center focuses on giving the animals in their care the most natural life they can in captivity, and also assists in breeding programs for several endangered species. Jane Goodall even comes out in one episode to present them with an award for excellent enclosure construction. The theme song is very loud and distinctive, the point that my roommate asked how long this series was because she could hear the theme song coming from my room for weeks as I went through all 9 seasons. Highly recommend this one because the personalities of the apes really stand out when you spend literal years with them; it's worth the time commitment, I loved it.

(Also in making sure I had all the details about this show right, I learned there was a follow up show called Monkey Life that featured Andy Serkis himself narrating the first season and they seem to all be available on YouTube for free so I have a new multi-season show to watch now, thank you!!!)

Orangutan Jungle School (YouTube) - Rescue group dedicated to teaching young orangutans how to survive in the wild so they can be released when they're older. Only the first two episodes of this show are available on YouTube for free but I also devoured any clips I could find. I found this show particularly hilarious because the baby orangs are adorable. They cry when they don't get their cups of milk fast enough or when they can't figure out how to crack into a coconut. I always see adult orangutans as slow moving, so the activity and demanding personalities of the babies delighted me. If nothing else, watch these two clips because I have watched the clips of the babies screaming and the humans overreacting to fake snakes on repeat for ages.

Chimp Empire (Netflix) - Two chimpanzee groups in Uganda's Ngogo forest face off over territory and food, while each group faces their own struggles from within. This one is about wild chimps and it is fascinating to see their natural ways outside of rescue centers. The cinematography is gorgeous; I'd love to know how they got all these shots without disturbing the chimps. It's only 4 episodes; I wish it was longer but it packs a lot into its short run time.

Meet The Chimps (Disney+) - A one season show focusing on chimps living in a rescue center in Louisiana. A single season show so you don't get a lot of time with the chimps but it's got a much smaller number of chimps to get to know than Monkey Business. Also the troops are housed near each other so it's interested to see the dominance displays, even through a fence. My favorite part was near the end with the mystery of who was the father of an accidental baby. I guessed wrong!

Kingdom Of The Apes: Battle Lines (Disney+) - Two separate ape groups, one of chimps and the other of gorillas, sort out fights for dominance and leadership of the troop in their own ways. Personally I didn't like this one. Jumping back and forth between gorillas and chimps in a documentary less than an hour didn't leave me very invested, but I thought I'd add it if anyone was interested.

I'll throw in a couple podcasts too, should be free on your preferred podcast app:

Ologies, one episode on primatology and a separate episode on gorillaology

National Park After Dark, a two-part episode on the life, work, and murder of Dian Fossey, a primatologist who worked with gorillas and wrote the book 'Gorillas In the Mist'

The Wild With Chris Morgan, an episode on orangutans called People Of The Forest

There are a lot more documentaries I want to watch, especially several for free on YouTube. I hope this list is of interest to you and I welcome recommendations from anyone else.

Lore time part 1

Character's names + age

Morgan 23 - peace negotiator

Khaidan 10 - child

Jayden 22 - mercenary

Kyle 21 - mercenary

During the creation of the charter, Morgan was a peacekeeper for the other trans goves.

Altara refused to sign the charter because it removed weapons besides the survival knife from the fabricator's blueprints. They then proceeded to threaten Altara to sign it or they would get blamed for the massacre on Obraxis' prime which was the truth.

During the making of the Aurora, she was a person of interest, so she hired two of her friends who were mercenaries to keep her and her younger brother safe during the trip (she did not know she was supposed to be assassinated over the threats during the signing of the charter). While seeing the surface of 4546b her brother had a vision before he woke up and hid in a life pod. (he hid in a life pod 25; nothing was wrong with the life pod) when his sister found him, the quarantine gun thingy shot the Aurora.

A crash-landed on the planet, and the life pod had four people. Morgan got a head injury and was out for a few hours. Jaden had brought food for him and the others while she was out. While she was being watched by Kyle, once she woke up, her brother hugged her. They found the other pods and saw no one in them or that they had exploded.

When the Aurora core detonated, Khaidan stayed in their life pod so he would be safe. They had fixed the cire and had a run-in with a reaper leviathan. On the way back, they found all of the sea moth fragments. Morgan picked up a stalker egg to adopt as a pet when it hatches. Due to being in the mushroom forest, they had asses to all of the Cyclops fragments and built it. They decided to venture to the quarantine platform because of the sunbeam call (the same thing that happens in Cannon happens here).

Homesick for Bolivia again. La Paz, I wish to be there.

I wish to stand on the edge from Ciudad Satelite and look over the sprawling city at dusk, the lights coming on and glowing like stars, catching glimpses from Illimani's peak. I wish to see the familiar route down from El Alto to my aunt's apartment again. I even wish the burn of little air as I go up the flights of stairs to said apartment slowly so I don't get altitude sickness.

I want to be walking the streets at noon and stop to buy some salteñas potosinas. I want to stop by the family's favorite fricasé restaurant to buy enough for the family, and then take the minibus back up the slope. I want to drink trimate and spend time with my cousins - see their more recent art, discuss artists, share videos. I want to walk down a street and see the retama blooming.

Te extraño, La Paz y familia.

My mom shared a tiktok about neanderthal evolution and thirty minutes later I've move passed expanding on what was in the video and all the human evolution that got to that point, and after a brief detour talking about the Leaky's and the Trimates, I've moved onto explaining grolar bears, climate change's effect on spiecies' development, and challenging our taxonomic system

Dhammakaya Meditation

Dhammakaya Meditation (also known as Sammā Arahaṃ Meditation) is a method of Buddhist Meditation developed and taught by the Thai meditation teacher Luang Phor Sodh Candasaro (1885–1959). In Thailand, it is known as Vijjā dhammakāya, which translates as 'knowledge of the dhamma-body'. The Dhammakaya Meditation method is popular in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia, and has been described as a revival of samatha (tranquility) meditation in Thailand.

The Dhammakaya Tradition believes the method to be the same as the original method the Buddha used to attain enlightenment, which was lost and then rediscovered by Luang Phor Sodh in the 1910s. The most important aspect of the meditation method is the focus on the center of the body, which leads to the attainment of the Dhammakāya, the Dhamma-body, found within every human being. Similar to other meditation traditions, the Dhammakaya Tradition believes the meditation technique leads to the attainment of Nirvana, and in advanced stages, can give the meditator various supernatural abilities, or abhiñña.

Dhammakaya Meditation is taught at several temples of the Tradition, and consists of a stage of samatha (tranquility) and vipassana (insight), following the structure of the Visuddhimagga, a standard fifth-century Theravāda guide about meditation. In the method, the stages are described in terms of inner bodies (Pali: kāya), but also in terms of meditative absorptions (Pali: jhānas).

Scholars have proposed several possibilities for the origin of the method, with the Yogavacara tradition as the likely source, as well as acknowledging that Luang Phor Sodh may have independently developed it through his own psychic experiences.

Dhammakaya Meditation has been the subject of considerable discussion among Buddhists as to its authenticity and efficacy, and also has been the subject of several scientific studies.
