🏳️‍⚧️ Our Side 🏳️‍🌈 Today is the end of the exclusivity period for the @oursidezines Pride edition I got to be a part of! There’s so many pretty pieces in that zine and the whole concept of it is so cool. It’s rainbow-themed and the art in it creates a rainbow. As you can see I chose to work in blue and added a little yellow for the accents!

Support the Wild Life Medical Center in the Yucatán Peninsula

We are building a Wild Life Care Center near Campeche City, Mexico; in the heart of the Mayan territories, where exotic birds and jaguars are in danger.
The construction works are on their way, we started with installing hydraulic system from our well to create a small lake that will be part of this animal reserve. There was electricity, so we have just finished the installation of 4 miles of poles and power lines, The Center is located on a 320 acres property located only 15 minutes away from the city center of Campeche. On this land, we stablished last year a nursery for the production of trees, with the purpose of reforesting as much as we can. Our goal is to produce 1 million trees per year.
There is where we noticed, all the birds and little mammals that need medical attention, we have cared and release all kinds of birds, but we lack the appropriate equipment, infrastructure and medical staff to save as much as possible of this animals.
We have two architects, working as volunteers developing the final plans for the construction.
There is no animal refuge in the entire State of Campeche, we decided to create this shelter where injured animals can be cared to rehabilitate and send them back to their natural habitat; or, in case they cannot subsist, house them forever.
We approached local and federal authorities and they received the project with great enthusiasm as they told us they received about a dozen of injured birds and other animals each week, and they have to send them to care centers located in neighbor states, the closest one up to 5 hours drive, most of the animals die in the way. We are applying for a Environmental Management Unit (UMA); this will give us the legal authority to rescue, cure and keep animals in danger. Also, this will help to get government assistance programs aimed to save the Yucatán Península Wildlife.
A lot of species are in danger of extinction, the lack of opportunities for the people living in the towns nearby, makes them sometimes to become hunters or to trap birds and iguanas, and try to sell them on the highways. Unfortunately a lot of this animals die soon.
When the Center becomes operational, all animals seized by authorities, will be sent to us for medical care and keeping; our medical staff will decide if the animal should be back in to nature or should be kept in our refuge.

Hi there,

I recently came across your post "good omens fics: part 2" and wanted to thank you for the amazing fic recommendations. However, one of them (salinity) only leads to a dead ao3 page. I was wondering if you had the original saved somehow?

Thanks again and have a nice day :)

Hello! Glad you liked my recs, and I’m sorry to hear that OP deleted it :(

Lucky for you I am just a tiny bit neurotic about downloading fics just for this exact reason.....here’s a pdf file on my dropbox. Hopefully it all works.

it never hit me how shortsighted Heaven is until i realized they put a Principality (whose entire raison d’être is to protect places and people from harm) in charge of Earth, and then were genuinely surprised when Armageddon came and said Principality went absolutely off-the-grid feral trying to stop it

Where did I read the sentence “you can’t give a Principality a territory and then act surprised when they become territorial”

Honestly, given how Heaven reacts to everything throughout Good Omens, I’m 99% sure that they meant for Aziraphale to be guarding against the humans, and Aziraphale just had one of his “I’m going to selectively hear those orders” moments, and the rest was history.

“And,” Gabriel said with a wink, “you’re going to be a guardian in the human realm.”

Aziraphale nodded and winked back.

As methods of communication go, a wink is quite versatile. You can say a lot with a wink. For example, Gabriel’s wink meant:

You’re going to go down to that earthly territory and make sure those hairless monkeys don’t do anything to get in the way of the divine plan and make sure they know what it is to fear the wrath of the Almighty and behave themselves as lesser beings should.

And as far as he was concerned, Aziraphale’s answering wink meant: I shall indeed descend to the earthly plane full of gross matter and hairless monkeys and be sure to keep them in their well-deserved place, beneath our divine heel.

Whereas Aziraphale, on the other hand, thought that Gabriel’s wink was more along the lines of: You lucky beggar Aziraphale, getting to go down there and look after God’s new humans and all the exciting things they have to make and discover. Now you go down there and experience all the humans have to offer and protect them with your life.

And therefore, his own wink had meant: Message received and understood. The humans will never have a more stalwart guardian. Looking forward to seeing what sushi is when it comes around.

It took quite some time for angels to learn the important of using words when dispatching pedantic principalities on human-sitting duty.
