I have sad news about Fossey.

a month ago, my parents accidentally left their door open and she ran out. they set up traps and caught four OTHER cats (there's a feral barn colony nearby) and a couple raccoons, but no Fossey. coyotes howl beside the house every night, so I'm a little lacking in hope.

this is the first time that I've felt well enough to travel in a while, so I'll sit out with food tonight and tomorrow, but I'm not expecting anything to come from it.

rambling about aimbot + how it correlates with fosseys self image and need for control under here 👇

it mostly leads into fosseys desire for control, particularly over Things [such as objects, work, her own autonomy] but not necessarily People. theyre unsure of what they would do with actionable power over another person, and thus have no real interest in it, just wanting control over his own circumstances and the feeling of knowing what to do/capability when its an Object theyre faced with. this is why they like computers so much in the first place. so i think for them, when they find a robot version of sniper, left behind from the various hordes that previously barraged the mercs, she sees it as the perfect opportunity to exert a bit of that "control" they desire so deeply in order to fix him. it comes as a strange manifestation of fosseys feelings for sniper, intertwined with the belief that they're too undesirable and "fundamentally rotten" for the real thing when it comes to love and affection. its a belief they hold primarily due to some past trauma, which has caused them to feel this way for the vast majority of her life [and was also part of the reason why he joined the convent before dipping later on]. this also comes during the part of their little arc where sniper is avoiding them hardcore out of his own feelings for her, so the feeling of being unlovable/impossible to want is even more amplified.

to fossey, the robot sniper is less an "object of affection" in the sense of an actual partner or lover, but more one that he projects her love for sniper onto, not really expecting any actual reciprocation. its a machine, after all, its only as "real" as us going through the motions needs to be. thus, when sniper apologizes for being so absent and the two actually start talking again, things get a bit strange for the robot, because suddenly fossey is torn between giving their affections to sniper [real] and sniper [robot] and has WAY less time for the latter, but at the same time they still dont believe that sniper [real] actually likes them Like That, so they still do lavish the robot with their affections... and when calikiwi becomes a couple for real they arent sure what to Do with the robot, or if they even have the right to make a call in that regard in the first place. my friend has suggested the robot makes a fossey robot to start dating instead which would be really funny and i honestly might go for it just to maintain some comedy in this situation but im still not sure. ill have to figure it out...

It's September 24th, 🦍 World Gorilla Day. This worldwide celebration commemorates the day in 1967 that Dr. Dian Fossey established the Karisoke Research Center in Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park. Karisoke, which is now run by the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, is dedicated to the study, conservation, and protection of gorillas and their habitats. Dr. Fossey was an American zoologist who lived from 1932 to 1985. She spent much of her life in Africa and became the world's leading authority on the mountain gorilla. 🎥 Hollywood turned her bestselling book, "Gorillas in the Mist," into a blockbuster film starring Sigourney Weaver as Dr. Fossey.

There are many great organizations and individuals who are dedicated to fighting for the gorilla's survival. All four subspecies of gorillas – the Cross River gorilla, Grauer’s gorilla, mountain gorilla, and western lowland gorilla – are critically endangered because of illegal poaching, civil unrest, disease, and habitat destruction.

The mountain gorilla is the most critically endangered of them all, with only around 800 left in the wild. They’re found within high-altitude mountain and bamboo forests in just two isolated groups – one in the Virunga volcanoes – spanning the borders of Rwanda, Uganda, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and one in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in Uganda, contiguous with DRC’s Sarambwe Nature Reserve. Mountain gorillas are completely vegetarian, feeding on leaves, shoots, and stems. They live in groups of several females with their young and one dominant adult "silverback" male – easily identified by his huge size, regal demeanor, and a patch of silver hair on his back.

Each of us can make a difference to ensure a bright future for the noble gorilla. Won't you please help carry the torch for Dr. Fossey? ☮️Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Lastly, the old silverback came forward. In all my years of research I never met a silverback so dignified and commanding of respect. His silvering extended from the sides of his cheekbones, along neck and shoulders, enveloped his back and barrel, and continued down the sides of both thighs. Having little to go by in comparison, except for zoo gorillas, I estimated his age as approximately fifty years, possibly more. The nobility of his character compelled me to seek a name for him immediately. In Swahili, rafiki means "friend." Because friendship implies mutual respect and trust, the regal silverback became known as Rafiki.

#Repost @angidere • • • • • Il 26 dicembre 1985, sui monti Virunga, veniva uccisa Dian Fossey. Da qualche anno si era trasferita dagli Stati Uniti al #Ruanda per difendere i gorilla dai #bracconieri. L'assassino della Fossey è tutt'oggi sconosciuto. Nonostante le numerose versioni circolate sin dai giorni seguenti alla sua morte (che portarono alla condanna del suo assistente americano che però aveva già lasciato il paese ed era rientrato in America) è assai probabile che ad uccidere la zoologa statunitense furono proprio i bracconieri, una volta compreso che con il visto appena rinnovato, la Fossey avrebbe avuto la possibilità di restare nel paese africano per lunghissimo tempo. Il corpo della Fossey venne rivenuto il giorno dopo e venne seppellito accanto al suo amato Digit (uno dei gorilla preferiti della Fossey) e altri sedici gorilla, uno scimpanzé e un cane, nel cimitero che Dian stessa aveva costruito nell’accampamento in cui viveva. Sulla sua lapide si legge che “nessuno amò i gorilla più di lei“. Nel suo testamento aveva destinato il suo denaro alla fondazione da lei creata, ma la madre si oppose e vinse la causa. Al di là delle numerose azioni controverse di cui si rese protagonista, la #Fossey ebbe l'indubbio merito di attirare l'attenzione dei media di tutto il mondo su quanto stava accadendo ai gorilla. Dian Fossey lottò con tutte le sue forze non solo per i gorilla di montagna, ma anche per impedire che la foresta venisse trasformata in un luogo turistico. Grazie a suo impegno i gorilla di montagna sono arrivati fino a noi. Ne restano però soltanto 880. Entro i prossimi dieci anni potrebbero essere scomparsi del tutto. Oggi, 26 dicembre 2018 ,per ricordare Dian Fossey vale la pena chiudere con una delle sue frasi più citate: «Quando capisci il vero valore della vita, di ogni vita, pensi meno al passato e lotti per difendere il futuro». R.I.P. Dian Fossey e grazie per tutta la lotta. #gorilla #animals #love #personespeciali https://www.instagram.com/p/CJSuwN8gwWv/?igshid=1o17g78or18yv
