qsy-draws-a-lot:

You know it’s kinda frustrating to have spent three years getting visual art lessons from the same teacher in highschool that obviously knew all that stuff but never explained it in clear enough words that we got anything out of it.
Like we would poke fun at him for constantly asking us to squint when we were drawing from life, but it’s only in art school that I fucking understood it was a way to see stuff like tone balance, general lighting, yada yada.
Or saying that there’s no such thing as “not being inspired” but never telling us that being in the mood to draw is something you can work on 8T

TIL a 30-year-old elephant named Ben sought help at a safari lodge after being shot by poachers. The elephant waited patiently near the lodge for the 6 hours it took for a vet to fly in and dress his 3 bullet wounds.

via ift.tt

The fact he’s named kinda brushes over the fact this is a wild elephant. Born in the wild, raised in the wild, the only human interaction is watching the safaris. And after mean humans shot him, he decided the best course of action was to go visit the nice humans who just take pictures in hopes they’d help him. And then, even though they didn’t help him right away, he trusted that because they continued to be nice, he was safe, and they would help him.

also the people saw an elephant and were like “that’s a ben”

i hope he tells the other elephants where they can get help

@brunhiddensmusings

Actually, they do!

Orphans who were rescued, raised, and released by the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya have communicated that it is a place of safety to other elephants who’ve never even been there.

Injured animals will show up there when they have been harmed by poachers because they know it is a place where they can get help!

i am very glad elephants have a functioning yelp system
