There’s this girl at my school and she’s really nice and I remember sometime last year at one point she would carry a clicker around and click it everytime she had a happy thought/something good happened/she laughed etc.
It was always kind of cute how you’d just hear the little click every once in a while throughout class it always made me smile knowing that it was bc something made her feel happy idk

she was training herself to be happy oh my god

does it work???? Imagine feeling yourself slipping into depression and you just click a few times and your brain says “wait, this is the sound of happiness I have to release serotonin”

I can’t get over how these blockheads with a joke name like the Mighty Nein can roll into the harshest areas filled to the brim with dangerous scum and cruelly evil bastards, introduce themselves with obviously fake names, then openly call each other by their real names in earshot of everyone, shit in alleys, get wasted, disregard half the things they were told, and stumble into unwinnable situations then pull out walls of fire, summoned demons, stunning truth fists, teleportation, and illusory magic with the final tally ending up overwhelmingly in their favor as they leave town with their enemies feeding the worms. These guys are fucking terrifying. Like, how many top-tier assholes have grossly underestimated what must seem like a crew of clowns to them just to be buried by how powerful they really are? Avantika was flush on her successes and thought they were jokes, and they made her sit in silence as she lost everything. Lorenzo considered them worthless and unworthy of his attention, then had his criminal enterprise torn down on his head. And then I can’t stop thinking about a little bird girl in Hupperdook who’s still alive and has a family again because of them, or the town of Allfield who calls them their heroes, or a blind priest who spreads tales of these folks who constantly delve into the dark to rescue people who need it, and I can’t stop getting misty-eyed. They’re doing it in the craziest and most chaotic way they know how, but the world’s jumped a few notches closer to better because of them.

TIL a 30-year-old elephant named Ben sought help at a safari lodge after being shot by poachers. The elephant waited patiently near the lodge for the 6 hours it took for a vet to fly in and dress his 3 bullet wounds.

via ift.tt

The fact he’s named kinda brushes over the fact this is a wild elephant. Born in the wild, raised in the wild, the only human interaction is watching the safaris. And after mean humans shot him, he decided the best course of action was to go visit the nice humans who just take pictures in hopes they’d help him. And then, even though they didn’t help him right away, he trusted that because they continued to be nice, he was safe, and they would help him.

also the people saw an elephant and were like “that’s a ben”

i hope he tells the other elephants where they can get help

@brunhiddensmusings

Actually, they do!

Orphans who were rescued, raised, and released by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya have communicated that it is a place of safety to other elephants who’ve never even been there.

Injured animals will show up there when they have been harmed by poachers because they know it is a place where they can get help!

i am very glad elephants have a functioning yelp system
