Ethiopian girl guarded from gang rape & assault by three lions.
“The girl had been taken by seven men who wanted to force her to marry one of them. She was beaten repeatedly. Then the lions chased off her captors. The three lions guarded her for about half a day. They stood guard until we found her and then they just left her like a gift and went back into the forest.”
Then, Stuart Williams (the local wildlife ‘expert’) suggests that perhaps the lions mistook the 12 year old girl’s cries for a lion cub. Which seems awfully silly, considering that lions are perfectly capable of telling apart the gazelles they eat from their own cubs, aren’t they?

Comics great Carmine Infantino died today at age 87. He drew one issue of DC’s Star Trek comic, a flashback entitled “Uhura’s Story.” He was inked by series regular Ricardo Villagran.
These are two pages of original art from that issue from my private archives. In the pantheon of the man’s work, this was a minor gig, a way to pay the bills after his peak had passed, but buying these pages helped me connect to two of the things I love most.

okay so i know this doesn’t fit in with reboot canon technicallybut it TOTALLY fits in my heacanon in which uhura and bones are total bestiesbonding over idiot heroic other halvesboth with impeccable tastes in booze/musici like to imagine that at some point during the mission they like collaborate on a paper or somethingthat like makes the universal translator about 16000 times better or somethingand everyone is like ‘where did that come from????’everyone being jim mostlybecause spock is totally unsurprised by uhura seeking out the only other person on the crew as brilliant as she iseven if he does find mccoy illogical as a person he can’t dispute his intelligencejim on the other hand is like ‘THEY ARE SPENDING SO MUCH TIME TOGETHER HOW ARE YOU DEALING WITH THIS’in fact he confronts uhura about it but like in a really roundabout waylike ‘bones is pretty great does spock have competition??’and she just laughs her fucking ass off and suggests that jim go and ask the good doctor why spock doesn’t have any competitionand whilst he’s at itask himself why he cares so muchand the next time she goes to visit bones he cracks open his oldest best bourbon and he’s two glasses in before he can say ‘thanks’and uhura just smiles and presses a kiss to his cheekthat is the story of how uhura pulls everyone’s heads out of their asses and is also the best person everxoxo

The Irrefutable Truth about Demons (2000)
“Lemme guess,” Jim says, folding his arms over his chest as he leans against the doorframe, “it’s medicinal.”
Leo, three tokes in and not much inclined towards feeling defensive about it, just shrugs the shoulder that isn’t submerged in his bath and lifts the joint to his lips again. It’s still burning from his last hit, canoeing a little up one side but not enough to faze him; he sucks in a breath, sharp and fast, doesn’t pull his mouth away until a few ashes have fallen into the water. When he draws the smoke into his lungs he holds it there for a long minute, eyes closed, enjoying the tightness in his chest until it becomes unbearable before he tips his head back and exhales, releasing the smoke in a long, thin stream.
Jim is staring at him, at the joint, all his flagrantly faked nonchalance gone in favor of sharp-eyed interest. Leo grins at him lazily, says, “Guess that depends on what’s ailing you, don’t it?”
“Ha fucking ha.” Jim rolls his eyes but he’s moving, too, folding himself down on the floor next to the tub and leaning his head back just next to Leo’s elbow. “You’re a laugh riot, Bones, have I ever told you that?”
“Don’t pander,” Leo says. It’s not really the full sentence he was after, but the warm water’s relaxing and his skin’s starting to fit a little different, a little easier than it usually does; anyway, he knows Jim knows what he means. “And open up.”
“He shares,” Jim says, mock-wondering, but there’s a smile in the way his eyes crinkle as he tilts his head towards Leo, closes his lips around the joint Leo holds to his mouth. He inhales so hard that the burning paper creeps uncomfortably close to Leo’s fingers, but Leo doesn’t flinch and Jim doesn’t cough, just draws in a second, deeper breath before he moves to crouch on the bathroom floor.
“Oh,” Leo says softly, “so that’s how you want to play it,” and he lifts his free hand, dripping wet, and slides it into Jim’s hair, drawing him close. When Jim’s mouth seals over Leo’s he exhales, and Leo draws it in, everything Jim’s letting go; he’s just stoned enough that it feels staggering, monumental, to be to do this, to be able to hold in his lungs something Jim’s already breathed. When Jim pulls back and Leo releases what little smoke remains back out into the world, it feels like an ecstasy, like a loss.
“You are so fucking blazed right now, aren’t you,” Jim says, not a question, fondness tugging at his vowels and the corner of his mouth as he plucks the joint from Leo’s hand. “You degenerate.”
“Takes one,” Leo says, and watches through lidded eyes as Jim sits and hits the joint again, head resting against the rounded edge of the tub.
