In a bid to engage communities outside the park fence,a reserve hired 26 local jobless female high-school graduates, and put them through an intensive tracking and combat training programme. Kitted out in second-hand European military uniforms, paid for by donations, the women were deployed throughout a 40,000 hectare reserve.
The numbers suggest the approach works. In the last 10 months the reserve has not lost a rhino, while a neighbouring reserve lost 23. Snare poaching has dropped 90%. [x]
Expect anything you want to commission to cost you something like: (The Artist’s Hourly Rate) x (Hours It Takes To Complete) + How Much They Have To Spend On Supplies / Materials.
So, assume that The Artist’s Hourly Rate is going to be at the bare minimum what *you* make per hour, and look up how long it takes on average to complete a project similar to what you are asking. Multiply those two things together, and don’t expect an artist’s commission rate to be anything *less* than that, as (except for digital art) the number you are looking at doesn’t include what they have to spend on supplies.
Artists and Crafters, don’t let assholes like that try to scam or guilt *you* out of what your time and effort is worth. If they can’t afford to pay you the going rate, you can’t afford to take their commission.
I’m doing a Philosophy paper on Asexuality. Please reblog if you think Love without Sex is possible! I really need the data. Like if you think love has to have sex.
OH DEFINITELY. Without doubt.
Nearly liked this one on accident! Whoof
Accidentally liked
I accidentally liked but then I took that like away and now I’m rebloging

There’s lots of people who don’t have sex til marriage and they still love each other when dating
There are so many ways of love that don’t require physical intimacy to demonstrate love. So yes, as an Ace, hell yes it’s possible.
As an Asexual I can confirm that sex is not what love is about!
Ofc! Why isn’t this common sense?!
As someone who has a sexual dysfunction and can’t have sex, I really, sincerely hope sex isn’t a requirement to be happy in a relationship…
“Samantha, I noticed that your “fun-o-meter’ is stuck in the middle. Why is that?
“Well the robots are cool, but why aren’t there any girls?”
“Why couldn’t the long lost brother be a long lost sister?“
“And how are all their disparate technologies able to connect to each other?”
“Doesn’t like boys!”
“Doesn’t understand robots!”
“That’s”
“That’s not what I said!”
Damn.
Cartoon Network is getting too damn real
That’s pretty goddamn ironic from a network which cancelled a superhero show because it was watched by too many girls, due to belief that it’s impossible to market superhero merch to girls
I’m fairly sure that’s the joke.
(Also the network doesn’t make the show – people may not realize that Cartoon Network isn’t a giant conglomerate cartoon factory and actually consists of tens of thousands of individual creators, many of whom spend a significant portion of their day wondering what can we sneak past Cartoon Network?)
At least that’s what I’m like when I write for them. Zing!!
don’t measure a woman’s worth by her clothes – terre des femmes
