Got inspired by @boobaloof’s plushie art and decided to make a Hawk and Highland cow version. Like I’ve said before, I need a whole AU where it’s Horizon but they’re these animals. Anyway hope you like it and go support the artist that inspired me to do this piece. Also I decided to give plushie Mooloy some horns because she looks cute with them. Hawk Talanah was an idea that came from @finrays
Walk with me: Visit to a high-elevation red spruce forest. The red spruce (Picea rubens) forest on top of Red Spruce Knob, the ninth highest peak in West Virginia, provides a bittersweet glimpse back in time to the primeval beauty and solitude of such places prior to the arrival of the logging companies in the mid-Nineteenth to early Twentieth centuries. The loggers stripped the mountains bare and set in motion the massive wildfires that burned away everything, including the soil itself, down to solid bedrock. Almost a century later, the forest is regenerating and in some places, such as Red Spruce Knob, has regained the richness and vitality of a healthy boreal ecosystem.
From top: a view of Red Spruce Knob, in the far distance, from the Highland Scenic Highway overlook; Canada mayflower (Maianthemum canadense), a ubiquitous understory component of the forest, along with mountain woodsorrel, yellow clintonia (a.k.a. blue-bead lily), hobblebush viburnum, Indian cucumber, green false hellebore, and various mosses and ferns; yellow clintonia (Clintonia borealis) in bloom; pink lady's slipper (Cypripedium acaule); green false hellebore (Veratrum viride) on eastern hay-scented fern (Dennstaedtia punctilobula); and mountain woodsorrel (Oxalis montana).
I will never get over the fact that thousands of Armenians were massacred in 2020. The grief that has been left behind in their passing. The lives they were meant to live. I shouldn’t be seeing graves marked with the dates “2001-2020”.
These people were not killed in a war, they were killed in a genocide. They were murdered defending their native land against colonizers. Those who seek to use and destroy our land for its natural resources. Those who wish to see Indigenous populations destroyed or Turkified.
Armenians have been resisting genocide and Turkification since the Turks entered our highlands in the 10th century.
I understand the complexities of many Azerbaijani’s and today’s Turks being mixed with the indigenous populations of our region— including Armenians. However, that acknowledgment can only go so far when they choose to identify with the colonizing group, and commit genocide against indigenous people that resisted assimilation. When you choose to identify with the colonizer, when you take on their identity, you become them. You are them.
