“A ver si cuela…”
Spoiler: no cuela. El resto de la aventura, en The Guardian.
“In a zoo in California, a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately, due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth.
The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress could surrogate another mother’s cubs, perhaps she would improve.
After checking with many other zoos across the country, the depressing news was that there were no tiger cubs of the right age to introduce to the mourning mother. The veterinarians decided to try something that had never been tried in a zoo environment. Sometimes a mother of one species will take on the care of a different species. The only orphans that could be found quickly, were a litter of weaner pigs. The zoo keepers and vets wrapped the piglets in tiger skin and placed the babies around the mother tiger. Would they become cubs or pork chops?
Take a look… you won’t believe your eyes! Scroll down to view.”

“What was he supposed to do? Just bow down and let the grizzly gangs run the place? No, goddamnit. This is a man! He put down his bowl of shoe-leather soup, strapped on his Ursine Assaultin’ Trackpants (every Russian has a pair) and he went to beat that fucker to death with a pepper-mill.”

“Darren Almond (1971, England) is an artist based in London. He works in a variety of media, most notably photography and film, which he uses to explore the effects of time on the individual. Almond travels to remote locations that reveal an emptiness of the human spirit while challenging the sense of one’s own isolation and insignificance.”

En la lista de conciertos a los que no fui y por los que probablemente me dejaría arrancar una muela, caso de haber vehículo de relocación espaciotemporal a mano, este puntúa bien alto.
“Fearing that the natural world is being replaced by technology, the artist installed a working computer inside of an idle beaver. First, she crafted a computer from the motherboard up, tested it, then hollowed out a stuffed beaver and molded the two together using spandex spray, resin, and fiberglass. After three months of work, the result was Compubeaver, followed up by its accessory, Text-o-Possum, a stuffed possum that’s equipped with a laser in its back leg that projects a virtual keyboard.”
Jaaaaajajajajaja!!!
Lo que decía. Añado que la tipa exhibe una obsesión por lo oral que no es ni medio normal. No me quejo, lo oral es una cosa de la que estoy muy a favor.

“My photographs fuse a gothic sensibility and performative elements with traditional landscape imagery, in order to explore the metaphoric potential of the environment. My most recent project, Feral, was shot while on solitary kayaking and hiking trips, using a medium format camera and basic camping supplies. In many works, traces of my body are visible as I merge with, take refuge in, and lose myself in the natural world. In some scenes my body is dwarfed by the primordial landscape, as if swallowed up by nature; in others I dissolve myself, in a rush of water, or am nearly engulfed in a creeeping fog. Many photographs reveal evidence of some seemingly paranormal event—a fire burning in a river or an ambiguous, intimate encounter with a fox. Through these enigmatic photographs, boundaries shift, blurring the line between human and landscape, and human and animal.”

No sólo me parece la mejor foto de un pájaro que ha pasado jamás por mis retinas, sino que es una de las imágenes más increíblemente bonitas que he visto. Dios, no puedo dejar de mirarla.
This is how one must feel during an alien invasion. Destructive energy bolts included.
