Golden Enys Dodman Arch. I sat on top of the cliffs watching the crowds in the distance watching the sunset from the Land’s End hotel, whilst I had this view all to myself as the golden light lit up the ocean right through the stone arch.

Far from escaping significant human modification, areas mapped as wilderness across tropical biomes have been profoundly shaped by humans in deep time, and continue to be occupied and used by diverse Indigenous and local populations today. For example, the Amazon is thought to be a center for the domestication of over 80 crop species, including many that humans rely on today, such as cassava (Manihot esculenta), wild rice (Oryza sp.), peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), and chili (Capsicum baccatum). The domestication and cultivation of these key crop species resulted in substantial human impact over the composition and structure of soils and forests in these landscapes that continue to support significant agroecological diversity today. Despite clear human intervention in the Amazon forest system for millennia, Indigenous and local peoples’ use of these forests have promoted biodiversity and maintained forest structure. On the other side of the globe, the application of swidden agriculture—a way of farming involving rotational clearing, burning, and fallow that has been used for millennia and today supports between 14 and 34 million highlanders in tropical South and Southeast Asia —is thought to have played an important role in shaping the structure and resilience of forests, as well as maintaining diverse ecosystem services.

Indigenous knowledge and the shackles of wilderness

you know how xhosa has all those different beautiful ‘click’ consonants? I think gallifreyan should have something similar - I think that time lords should speak in a language that ticks

Why is this extremely space stage guy monologuing to something just barely out of creature stage? Like sure we can understand him but he doesn't know that, for all he's aware he's talking to a horse right now. A horse that would very much like to stomp him to death with its hooves.

#my art #spore #spore creatures #spore ds #all the spore spinoffs are like this #like in the spore hero games its unclear how far along these creatures are #because they all live in nests in the wilderness but also they speak and have culture and stuff #but in spore ds theres no question #that is a beast my dude #sporse

the thing about andor season 1 being a moses arc is that cassian andor literally is moses. once you mention that moses’s rise to leader serves as scaffolding to almost every major character moment for cassian well you just can’t unsee it

#cassian andor #even the changes i'm still hmm on #his backstory is so extremely moses coded! there's a foreign woman who takes him from his culture and people and language #he might live because of it but his perpetual cycle of fleeing and exile and exodus starts as a child #she gives him a new name and takes his past #as an adult he kills the guard(s)#he flees into the wilderness #he becomes a shepherd (even if its just undercover)#his people are living in the house of slavery #he becomes a prisoner #he uses water- small and massive unthinkable amounts of flowing water- to lead an entire prison revolt #he ends up in exile and diaspora again and again #and the season ends with a miniature exodus of his comunity from ferrix with bix and brasso and jezzy and wilmon and b2emo #but on a meta level like: this entire season is cassian at the burning bush #he's a man with unclean lips who neither thinks himself worthy of being the hand of deliverance #nor does he think exodus is possible #like even that very meta arc change from dyed in the wool born revolutionary to good man in constant exile who finally turns and faces the #burning bush #that is MOSES coded. i don't know how to feel about those changes but i DO love the idea that #it's cassians' imperfections and time as an ordinary man among the people that give him the radical empathy and experience precisely to #/become/ this leader I OF UNCLEAN LIPS etc #also well does he ever reside in the promised land

A director must be a policeman, a midwife, a psychoanalyst, a sycophant and a bastard.

Billy Wilder

Austrian-born American filmmaker, screenwriter, producer, artist and journalist Billy Wilder is regarded as one of the most brilliant and versatile filmmakers of Hollywood‘s golden age. With ‘The Apartment’, Wilder became the first person to win Academy Awards as producer, director and screenwriter for the same film.

Born Samuel Wilder in Sucha, Austria (now part of Poland) in 22 June 1906, Billy Wilder spent his early professional life as a reporter in Vienna. In 1926 he relocated to Berlin, where his reputation as a journalist grew. But by then a different dream had taken hold - the movies. Selling his first script to an extremely grateful and quite naked producer he helped hide from the jealous boyfriend of a neighboring young lady, Wilder’s career as a screenwriter began. After several successful years in the German film industry, Wilder fled to Paris a week after the Reichstag fire in 1933.

Ten months later he emigrated to America, where an initially difficult time in Hollywood gave way to employment as a screenwriter.

In 1938 Wilder was teamed with Charles Brackett. Through their scripts for such films as ‘Bluebeard’s Eight Wife’, ‘Ninotchka’, and ‘Ball of Fire’, they became the best-known and most respected writing team in Hollywood. This success enabled Wilder to fight for and win his first American directing assignment, the now-classic comedy, ‘The Major and the Minor’, and “the Billy Wilder Film” was born.

“The Billy Wilder film.” The phrase is at once as specific and difficult to casually categorise as the filmmaker himself. Billy Wilder, the master of the American comedy who wrote and directed the grand melodramas of ’Sunset Boulevard’ and ‘Double Indemnity’. The hard-hitting dramatist who created the funniest movie ever made, ’Some Like It Hot’. The “great cynic” who steeped us in the lyric romanticism of ‘Love in the Afternoon’ and ‘Avanti!’. The “classic romantic” who confronted us with the harsh realities of ‘Ace in the Hole’. Simultaneously one of the most European and American of all directors, the man refuses to stand still long enough to allow us our neat and easy definition. But, to put it in his own words, “Nobody’s perfect.”

Through his work on films as daringly varied as ‘The Lost Weekend’, ‘A Foreign Affair’, ‘The Apartment’, and ‘The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes’, this “imperfect genius” has proven himself a true master of all aspects of the language of film, as comfortable and adept t telling a story thorough his brilliant visual style as through his unparalleled dialogue. And although the characters, the locales, the tone and genres may change, one subject seems to remain constant - the bizarre and glorious state know as the human comedy. Through the drama and the farce and the romance and despair, what we’re watching up there is, as in all great art, a reflection of ourselves.

Often running into criticism for his presentation of taboo topics such as alcoholism and prostitution, the high quality of the films redeemed him in the eyes of both the public and the industry. Of the many great stars he directed, Marilyn Monroe, Marlene Dietrich, Shirley MacLaine, Jimmy Stewart and Jack Lemmon are only a few.

The late 1960s and 1970s, however, were not as kind to Wilder. His brand of cynicism, irony and satire were out of step with this generation’s view of peace, love, revolution and individual experimentation

A 7 time Oscar winner, Steven Spielberg called him "the greatest writer/director who ever lived." Here's some amazing footage from his birthday party where he was joined by a host of famous directors.

The Battle of the Trails: AT vs. PCT vs. CDT - Which One Will Reign Supreme on Your Next Adventure?

The AT, PCT, and CDT are like three siblings vying for the title of the best trail. The AT, of course, thinks it’s the best because it’s the oldest and most popular of the three. The PCT is like the middle child, constantly trying to prove it’s better than the AT because it’s longer and has more diverse terrain. And then there’s the CDT, the youngest of the three, always trying to show off its…
