"I was also studying herpetology at the time and we were supposed to go out and pickle 50 snakes and lizards before the end of the semester. Well, I was studying herpetology because I liked snakes and lizards, so I ended up dropping out of grad school by the middle of the first semester and I have been a professional rabble-rousing conservationist ever since."

- Dave Foreman, from the first chapter of Defending the Earth (via vidagloriosa)

This reminds of me of how John James Audubon, the namesake of today’s awesome Audubon Society killed thousands of birds and helped contribute to the carrier pigeon extinction. BAD SCIENCE!

Gary Larsen’s On the Far Side

I love how you can totally see Gary’s world view in his drawing style. People are always portrayed as obese pink bumbling blissfully unaware dopes, while animals are always stone faced, sly, self aware and scheming. <3

"You have nothing to feel ashamed of. I want you to know you didn’t do anything wrong. Please know that you were chosen by a monster. It’s not your fault. You didn’t ask for it and, most of all, you didn’t deserve it."

Writer-director Tyler Perry • In an open letter, published by The Daily Beast, to an 11-year-old alleged victim in the Jerry Sandusky case. “Do you know that at the young age of 11 you had more courage than all the adults who let you down?” he writes. “All of the ones who didn’t go to the proper authorities, all of the ones who were worried about their careers, reputations, or livelihoods. All of the ones who didn’t want to get involved. Or even the ones who tried to convince your mother not to fight. You are stronger than them all! I wonder what they would have done if it were their own child.” You rock, Tyler. (via shortformblog)

Tyler Perry for the GODDAMN WIN!

Apparently we’re getting our first teaser for ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ sometime in December (so says Elijah Wood). Fingers crossed now, people, and your toes. Basically if you’ve got 2 or more of them, cross ‘em.
