"What... What do I mean to you?" The usually strong lion's voice trembled, and you couldn't help but scoff as you looked at him. He was splayed across a half-wall in the botanical garden - his usual napping spot.
That's what he had been doing, of course, before you came along. Looking for him per Ruggie's request, though you couldn't have cared less to talk to Leona himself.
"What do you mean to me?" You asked, and rolled your eyes when you saw the infamous Prince of the Sunset Savannah wince at your tone. Sighing aloud, you took a step forward with purpose, a scowl on your face. "Nothing."
He goes to speak again, looking physically hurt by the answer, but you cut him off.
"Really, Leona." You spit his name out like venom, taking another step towards him, leaning down to his level with malice in your eyes. "What are you supposed to mean to me? Hm? After all, I'm just a little herbivore, aren't I? What does my opinion of you matter?"
"I just- I..."
He trails off, helpless, and you can't believe that his prideful demeanor was this easy to shatter. Really, you didn't know what to expect from him - not anymore.
The lion had told you, to your face, that you meant nothing to him. That you were just a herbivore, a piece of prey infringing on his territory and surviving off of borrowed time. And he expected it all to be okay? Like you'd just play nice with him when he suddenly decided that you were worth his attention?
"Fucking pathetic."
That's all you say before leaning back, motions quick and efficient - you didn't want to be here any longer than you had to be.
"Go see Ruggie. God knows he's the only one holding your life together." You hiss under your breath, already on your way out.
You don't listen to what he says as you leave.

The skateboarding scene in Palestine is one of our most unique yet powerful forms of protest and resistance against the illegal Israeli occupation. Skateboarding in Palestine is far more than a sport or hobby; it is a form of resistance and empowerment. Riding a skateboard might seem like a simple act - but to Palestinians, it is a way to express their identity, defy oppressive forces, and reclaim agency over their bodies, land, and rights to movement.
Skateboarding in Palestine first gained popularity in the early 2000s in the West Bank. Palestinian skaters took matters into their own hands, constructing makeshift skate parks in abandoned buildings and empty lots. These spaces became more than recreational areas; they became symbols of empowerment and resistance for Palestinian youth. This act was a unique form of protest by allowing Palestinians to reclaim public spaces that were often damaged due to the occupation forces. In a land where movement is restricted and access to certain areas is limited, Palestinian skaters transformed overlooked spaces into vibrant skate parks. The act of reclaiming these spaces was a way to peacefully assert their right to challenge the limitations imposed upon them when it came to the use of public areas. Palestinians will not be confined or silenced by the occupation, and skateboarding is one of the many ways this sentiment is showcased.
Organizations and initiatives, such as SkatePal, have played a crucial role in supporting and developing the skateboarding scene in Palestine by building skateparks, providing equipment, and offering lessons. Initiatives like this create a safe space for young Palestinians who are often forced to give up a lot of their childhood joy to the occupation. Skateboarding fosters a much needed sense of community that Israel has tried to stifle for decades. Palestinian skaters also participate in global competitions and events to showcase their skills on an international stage!! This raises awareness about their ongoing struggles and, more importantly, their unwavering resilience.
Skateboarding serves as a means for Palestinians to express their identity and existence. In a genocidal, oppressive state, where freedom, creativity, and individuality are often suppressed, the act of skateboarding itself becomes a powerful statement of resistance against the occupation. It visually represents qualities that are intrinsic to the Palestinian spirit. Skateboarding empowers Palestinian youth by providing them control over their bodies and movement in their land.
In Palestine, skateboarding is not just a sport - it is a culture of reclaiming ownership, fostering confidence, independence, and resilience.

In much better and happier news Bison after decades of hard work and conservation efforts from indigenous organizations have finally been released back on our lands after 150 years.
I saw this video live and cried my eyes out. This is so important. Despite it all we survived. We're still here and the possibility to heal the land and ourselves is always there even if it will take time.
Edit: I'm very happy that people love this post but my other less happy educational posts are also just as important
