Unlocking Nature-Positive Economies through Innovative Insurance and Finance The Invisible Guardians of Nature In the global conversation on building nature-positive economies, we often hear about carbon credits, biodiversity offsets, and innovative insurance mechanisms for ecosystems. But amid this financial and ecological ingenuity, one group remains largely invisible – the park rangers. They are the frontlineContinue reading “Rangers as Risk Managers: Redefining Conservation Finance”

HTB (Helen “Troy” Bolton), or High School Lesbian Musical
Originally posted on The Niche:
THE FULL SCREENPLAY About two hours into a very long car ride to see Tegan and Sara in Portland, Maine, and one hour into the High School Musical 3 soundtrack, I turn to my friend Sam and say, “You know, when you think about it, Troy’s struggle in the first…
Book Recs: LGBT Graphic Novels (II)
Originally posted on Reads Rainbow:
I’ve made a rec list for LGBT graphic novels before (funnily enough, it was on Christmas Eve two years ago) and you can check it out here. But the truth is, you can never have too many of those in your life! Which is why I decided that part two…
Book Recs: Gender in SFF
Originally posted on Reads Rainbow:
A while back, Anna asked for rec list suggestions and one of the ones that came up was nonbinary SFF. Now, she passed that onto me, since that’s not really her ballpark, and I sort of changed the rules ever so slightly. Instead of solely nonbinary rep (although most of…
Sorting The Brooklyn Nine-Nine Characters Into Hogwarts Houses
Now, before we get started, I would like to remind y’all the determining qualities of each house since there are so many misconceptions about them all over the internet. (Hufflepuffs aren’t sore losers and Slytherins aren’t evil, y’all) So here goes. Gryffindor – Every Voldy, Umbridge and Harry (Tom, Dick and Harry, geddit?) knows theContinue reading “Sorting The Brooklyn Nine-Nine Characters Into Hogwarts Houses”
The One and Only Ivan; Voice of Animals
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress is judged by the way its Animals are treated“ -Mahatma Gandhi Just because us humans consider ourselves to be civilised due to your brains (even though I lack some) and advancement in the process of evolution, no one gives us the rights to rule mercilessly overContinue reading “The One and Only Ivan; Voice of Animals”
RecLists + My Watchlist: Sapphic Movies #1!
FYI, we’ll be moving on to TV shows, web comics, web-series’, short films and maybe even music next (we’ll also inevitably get to books in good time, don’t worry! there’s a lot of choice material there), so do stay tuned! I will also probably be doing a part two and three for this post ifContinue reading “RecLists + My Watchlist: Sapphic Movies #1!”
Anger. (The #QueerIndianTeenVisibilityProject)
my particular brand of expression generally involves a very liberal usage of words, commas, ellipses, parentheses, and…more words. succinct is almost never how I tend to work. short & sweet just isn’t my style. I’ve rambled on for paragraphs over the most pointless of posts on this blog before. this post is going to beContinue reading “Anger. (The #QueerIndianTeenVisibilityProject)”
Voldemort – He Who Has Not Been Seen
Let’s talk about the Dark Lord himself. Let’s talk about Voldemort. So, I’m not going to talk about common stuff like how dumb he was to not use a pebble as a horcrux or how he didn’t just throw Harry out of a window when he was a baby, that stuff is far too common.Continue reading “Voldemort – He Who Has Not Been Seen”
Accursed : What went wrong In Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
J.K. Rowling didn’t just write a book when she penned down Harry Potter, she invented an entire fictional (yep, you gotta admit it’s fictional) universe. Those seven books made even the dullest of dreary days magical. But after about twenty years a script in the name Cursed Child came out in the guise of anContinue reading “Accursed : What went wrong In Harry Potter and the Cursed Child”
#Sapphicathon: TBR, Forums and Stuff
So…hi, people! I’m choosing to spare you from a classic (aka rambly and embarrassingly long) intro with this post because while I most definitely hate cutting to the chase, it’s sort of proving to be a necessity right now because a) it’s 11 pm here at the moment and I have a crap ton ofContinue reading “#Sapphicathon: TBR, Forums and Stuff”
One Planet “ONE Government” Can Be the Solution to Climate Crisis
A report published in January this year by NOAA (National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration) and NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) confirmed that 2010 to 2019 was the hottest decade since modern record keeping began in 1880. The past five years have been the warmest of the last 140 years. These warming trends are resultingContinue reading “One Planet “ONE Government” Can Be the Solution to Climate Crisis”
The Trenches Beyond Kleve
We set off in the silence of the early morning, once again. The day was sunny and warm but the clouds gave cover at times. After crawling through the no man’s land, stepping and tripping on bodies, we reached the German trenches and found them to be abandoned and burnt. They were void of enemiesContinue reading “The Trenches Beyond Kleve”
A House Without Mirrors by Mårten Sandén – An Insight
Imagination. The small fragment (or part) of our mind which runs wild. The canvas inside our mind which makes us believe we can be anything and everything. When I was a bit younger, I used to believe I was going to be a rich and famous king and have a massively adventurous life! I wouldContinue reading “A House Without Mirrors by Mårten Sandén – An Insight”
Far From The Tree by Robin Benway: A Spoiler-Free Review
Okay. Ignore the title of this post because here’s a spoiler for you: you will fall in love. Ahem. I need to calm down. My personal life’s going fine – pretty great lately, actually. The news hasn’t sprung any crazy surprises on us all week – a new record, probably. The Earth definitely hasn’t stoppedContinue reading “Far From The Tree by Robin Benway: A Spoiler-Free Review”
Why Appropriation is Generally Positive, Its Misinterpretation by the Media and the Actual Significance of the Bindi: Should Everyone Be Allowed to Represent Everyone?
This is my first significantly controversial post on this blog! A lot of you are bound to disagree with me on some of these points, but let’s all try to keep it civil. I’ll try not to rant, I promise. And I do understand the other points of view on this issue. I’m just notContinue reading “Why Appropriation is Generally Positive, Its Misinterpretation by the Media and the Actual Significance of the Bindi: Should Everyone Be Allowed to Represent Everyone?”
The Raven Cycle: An Aglionby Analysis/ Mega-Discussion Post (and/or Semi-Review, Part I)
PROCEED WITH CAUTION: THIS POST WAS INITIALLY SO LONG I HAD TO SPLIT IT UP INTO TWO NEAT LITTLE POSTS. SO. BEWARE. (So…this is my third post this week! A new high for me. I sincerely hope I can keep it up, because I’m practically forcing myself to write this because it’s a Friday (sort of.

Problems I Have With Sapphic TV and Literature: An Analysis on the Tropes, the Trends and the Intolerable
GENERAL DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT A POST I’M MAKING TO CRAP ON SAPPHIC LIT. SAPPHIC LIT IS AMAZING, AND THERE ARE TONS OF BEAUTIFUL SAPPHIC BOOKS OUT THERE – BUT MORE ON THAT LATER.

Book Recs by Genre 2K19: The Best Contemporaries I Read This Year…So Far (Part I)
CAUTION: This is an extremely long, rambling post. Because…contemporary lit. Feel free to skip over to the actual recs/list/whatever, although you WILL miss…uh, never mind.
