This one was a little bit more challenging to do than I thought it would be – and that was mostly in all the detail (RIP) ,as well as figuring out ways to adapt a Klimt-esque look to Howl. It was really tempting to put him in his pink jacket since it lends itself to rectangular form so well. However I just had to go and make things difficult for myself… because I love his transformed version!
Based on Klimts ‘The Kiss’ (1907-1908)
Okay so this is amazing

“Come on Tissaia, we’re going to be late!“ Yennefer shoved her phone into her purse as she yelled through the apartment, knowing fully well that they would be perfectly punctual if they left soon. She also knew that Tissaia currently stood in front of their full-length mirror, fussing over her outfit. Before long, she heard her ask, “Are you absolutely sure we aren’t supposed to wear some kind of costume? This is Halloween, Yennefer.”

Support the Wild Life Medical Center in the Yucatán Peninsula
We are building a Wild Life Care Center near Campeche City, Mexico; in the heart of the Mayan territories, where exotic birds and jaguars are in danger.
The construction works are on their way, we started with installing hydraulic system from our well to create a small lake that will be part of this animal reserve. There was electricity, so we have just finished the installation of 4 miles of poles and power lines, The Center is located on a 320 acres property located only 15 minutes away from the city center of Campeche. On this land, we stablished last year a nursery for the production of trees, with the purpose of reforesting as much as we can. Our goal is to produce 1 million trees per year.
There is where we noticed, all the birds and little mammals that need medical attention, we have cared and release all kinds of birds, but we lack the appropriate equipment, infrastructure and medical staff to save as much as possible of this animals.
We have two architects, working as volunteers developing the final plans for the construction.
There is no animal refuge in the entire State of Campeche, we decided to create this shelter where injured animals can be cared to rehabilitate and send them back to their natural habitat; or, in case they cannot subsist, house them forever.
We approached local and federal authorities and they received the project with great enthusiasm as they told us they received about a dozen of injured birds and other animals each week, and they have to send them to care centers located in neighbor states, the closest one up to 5 hours drive, most of the animals die in the way. We are applying for a Environmental Management Unit (UMA); this will give us the legal authority to rescue, cure and keep animals in danger. Also, this will help to get government assistance programs aimed to save the Yucatán Península Wildlife.
A lot of species are in danger of extinction, the lack of opportunities for the people living in the towns nearby, makes them sometimes to become hunters or to trap birds and iguanas, and try to sell them on the highways. Unfortunately a lot of this animals die soon.
When the Center becomes operational, all animals seized by authorities, will be sent to us for medical care and keeping; our medical staff will decide if the animal should be back in to nature or should be kept in our refuge.
This amazing project has 15 days (as of the 16/09/2020) in order to reach it’s full goal - it’s currently at $2,385 of $15,000USD!! It has amazing tiered goals for people who donate as well!
Please boost and let’s get an amazing conservation project funded!
I studied abroad in the yucatán last year! The peninsula supports a great deal of biodiversity, including many species that are endemic to the area, or rely on it for a winter migration site. They are vulnerable to habitat loss, hunting, getting hit by cars, and pollution/trash. Please consider donating to this important project!!
Update: 3,110 $ reached! Stay tuned for more info 💪🏻
The platform they were using was all or nothing so if they didn’t reach their goal, no money was collected at all. OP (Katie) will attempt to reach out to the organisers to see if they’d be willing to use another platform where they didn’t have the same time restraints and restrictions, because Katie loves the project a lot ❤️
Seth Cardinal Dodginghorse from the Tsuut’ina First Nation cuts off his braided hair in response to Calgary’s Ring Road being built which has required his home be destroyed (the home has been in the family for 5 generations).

This is important context:
Long Hair in Native American Culture
What does cutting the hair signify?
Many tribes cut their hair when there is a death in the immediate family as an outward symbol of the deep sadness and a physical reminder of the loss. The cut hair represents the time with their loved one, which is over and gone, and the new growth is the life after.
The cutting of hair can also signify separating from past actions or thoughts. When a Native American cuts their hair, the hair is often treated with respect. It can be placed into a flowing river, buried, or burned.
What sucks double is that his family did not consent to the Canadian gov’t or the Tsuut'ina first nation council for their land to be used as part of the road, they gave it away without their consent. Imagine hoping this highway will give your people more opportunities but your own land is sacrificed for this, without your knowledge. Its heartbreaking and I’m with him 100%
Long direct quote from https://globalnews.ca/news/7369831/calgary-ring-road-announcement-jason-kenney/ to support Celestino’s addition above:
Members of Tsuut’ina First Nation including Chief Roy Whitney, representatives from the Alberta government including Premier Jason Kenney and Transportation Minister Ric McIver, and members from the City of Calgary including Mayor Naheed Nenshi were on hand at the Anderson Road interchange to make the announcement.
Whitney said the road will help bring prosperity to the First Nation.
“It’s considered a freeway that will create economic opportunities for the nation and for future generations and it will create jobs – high-paying jobs — for our community moving forward.”
Whitney thanked his community for its patience and vision in voting nearly 80 per cent in favour of building the ring road on First Nation land.
Kenney, then an MP for Calgary-Southeast, made the federal funding announcement in June 2015 with Nenshi. In a previous term as transportation minister in 2013 under the Progressive Conservative government, McIver signed the land use agreement with the Tsuut’ina First Nation.

When my mom and aunt were younger my aunt was in high school and my mom in middle school. A group of girls were bullying my aunt and one slapped her in the lunch room. The principal met with my grandma and the other mom. He said they weren’t punishing the other girl because he didn’t get involved in “girl problems.” My grandma asked if that meant my aunt could retaliate the next time it happened and he said no then it would be a fight and they’d both get in trouble.
So my grandma turned away from him and to the other mom and said “I have another daughter. She doesn’t go to this school and she’s a star softball player with her own bat. You can tell your daughter to stop bothering mine or you can drive her to the hospital with a shattered jaw. That’s your choice.” And walked out.
Few months later that girl stole a necklace from my aunt. My grandma called the cops and they all drove to her house to get it back. The cop came outside with it and said he told the family my grandma wouldn’t press charges if they gave it back. My grandma took the necklace and said “Then you’re going to have to go in and tell them you lied because I am pressing charges. She’s a thief and I want her treated like one.”
My grandma was a single mom in the 70s with two daughters and she took no shit from men who tried to undermine her and her daughters.
She also got excommunicated and then re-communicated after bothering the Vatican enough to let her back in
She doesn’t even like being Catholic and is Episcopalian now. It was more of a “You can’t fire me, I quit!” which is even better, at least to me
I can’t believe you’re not going to tell the story on how she got excommunicated. I have a feeling there’s a fun story there as well on how awesome your grandma is
As lots of people have requested this:
She wanted to marry my grandpa, a divorced Protestan, in her family’s Catholic Church. Somebody tattled and she got kicked out.
It wasn’t too hard for her to get recommunicated, she had to get my grandpa converted and his previous marriage annulled.
The issue was she had to do all this within a very short time frame because she was pregnant and wanted to be married before she started showing. So it took a lot of bullying the Vatican to get it expedited because she wanted to get married in the church she liked.
I’ve got a million stories about her
