One of the coolest bats in the whole world, Kuri the spectacled flying fox bat, passed away this summer. Her species is native to Australia but Kuri lived at Lubee Bat Conservancy in the United States, having been abandoned at the facility 22 years ago in a kennel with a note stating “Hi, my name is Kuri, please take care of me”. How she came to the United States in the first place is a mystery.
While in vet school I was privileged to help out with Kuri’s acupuncture treatments that she received every other week in her old age. I’d feed her peach flavored baby food during her treatment and she was a very well tempered little lady. I’m glad I got to know her for a brief time. If you happen to have any photos or artwork of Kuri (you never know, Tumblr is small!) the conservancy is collecting images for a memorial to be held in October. Here’s a video I took of Kuri grooming her fur so you can see how ridiculously cute she was. Her keepers and caretakers will miss her dearly, please keep them in your thoughts.

Oh shit Cassandra Cain and Bao Pham working together would actually make for a hell of a story if you wrote it with respect for both characters’ perspectives. Cass is all about second chances and being able to change for the better, and also about stopping harm when people haven’t changed yet, while Bao’s post-Joker-pocalypse thing is not giving second chances to people who did harm, people who for all we know are just acting like nothing happened instead of trying to make up in any way for the damage they did.
Like this wouldn’t work as something were Clownhunter is already tracking someone down, and Cass intervenes to stop him. It needs to be them teamed up to work on a mutual goal, and getting into conflict over methods, while having so much fucking compassion for each other’s pasts.
Also snarking the hell out of each other, Bao in his small-font rambles and Cass in her minimum-words + sarcastic-actions.

honeymilk the spectacled flying fox, january 2022
first art doll i've made that incorporates clay and i'm so proud of her!! it's hard to tell here but i used leather-textured clay which works really good for bat skin. the patagium was definitely the hardest part, couldn't find a great fabric for it but she certainly turned out fine anyway :P
ingredients: wool, polymer clay, acrylic paint, wire, fabric, rocks (for weight), super glue

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 220/?
Carl Anderson - Heaven On Their Minds (1973)
"Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied - have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd,
For we are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if we go too far,
If we go
Too far!"
#favourite lyrics#heaven on their minds#carl anderson#jesus christ superstar#tim rice#andrew lloyd webber#1973#ost#ok so we all have our (understandable) beef with Andy L W (and with tim fried rice‚ come to that) but I'll go to bat for JCS#they did an awful lot of things right on Superstar‚ not least in acknowledging the political elements of the christ story that are so often#conveniently forgotten. likewise the complex and multi layered characterisation of Judas (all too easily rendered a pop culture boogey man#in contemporary treatments) as an activist whose personal doubts about jesus' transformation are quite justifiable#murray head was a fine judas on the original concept album but the casting of Anderson for the film adaptation was inspired#he brings an agonised internal conflict to the role‚ torn between his love of the man (and absolutely that love can be read as romantic;#another galaxy brain moment from Webber and Rice is giving Judas lines and refrains that mirror Mary's) and his hate of the hollow#spectacle. judas is not evil in JCS; he's a revolutionary but a pragmatist‚ a man whose concern for a righteous cause indirectly#blinds him to a greater issue that he doesn't see. and how could he?#casting a black actorbas Judas in a predominantly white production could be construed as a problematic association‚ were it not for the#fact that judas is such a well developed‚ sensitively written part. as it is‚ it lends greater meaning to certain lines: when Judas asks#the white Jesus whether he cares for his race (note your race‚ not ours) it sharpens an already pointed lyric. Jewison's film is full of#highly politicized imagery (shooting in Israel in the early 70s; giving the Roman soldiers shining tin helmets that are much closer to US#army style than anything historical) and it's tempting to read references to the civil rights movement into the casting of Anderson as the#most politically astute character; tempting too to wonder at Judas' fear of going too far (reminiscent of very contemporary idealogical#splits within the civil rights movement between peaceful protest and more militant action) and again to note that Judas#as a black man is more conscious of potential reprisal and fallout than his white countrymen#whether the musical sides with judas or not is another interesting question; his story follows the biblical figure's‚ ending with his#suicide‚ but I've always been fascinated by his return for Superstar (the song): dressed amazingly‚ descending from a shining star#utterly defiant‚ wild eyes locked onto the camera as Anderson starts to sing. it's as much a moment of vindication for Judas as it is an#end to Christ. an incredible performance by a supremely talented performer.
