Wolf howling logo10/21/2023 On rare occasion they can be found in exotic colors such as bright blue or green. The direwolf commonly ranges in colour anywhere from white to black, with mixed grays and browns, any colour that modern wolves can have. It has evolved slightly for the dangerous environment of the ARKs, therefore making it a very large species, roughly 2 meters tall at the shoulders and very muscular. The direwolf is an ancestor of the modern wolf and the coyote. They are extremely loyal and obedient once they are tamed, allowing humans to ride them without a saddle and follow commands without forced means of control the pack mentality remains, but they accept the survivor as their leader and they obey without question. Even wild packs can band together to take down the creatures ordinarily regarded as the kings of the arks, although their ability to damage structures is far weaker. Compared with other creatures that pack a similar punch as a wolf pack, they are incredibly easy to find (in some locations it’s far harder to avoid the wolves than it is to not find some), easy to tame, and easy to maintain, making them among the dominant threats a survivor can encounter… or control. In packs however, they could arguably be the top of the snow biome’s food chain and they are usually found in mass numbers. Individually they are relatively weak, similar in many ways to a sabertooth, terror bird or raptor, fast moving with deadly teeth, but easily taken down with even a simple bola and bow. Being carnivorous pack animals, direwolves will likely attack on sight- and their eyesight is nearly as good as a human’s- so caution is advised. If you see a direwolf on its own, be sure to scan the area for the rest of its pack unless you want to become their prey. I've even seen them used to find creatures that are hidden beneath the surface.ĭirewolves are large pack animals. It has developed a keen sense of smell that enables it to detect things that most creatures can't. If utilized correctly, Canis can be a useful aid in your discovery efforts. Riding a supercharged “Alpha” Canis into battle at the head of a bloodthirsty pack is a thrill for which most warriors would gladly proclaim: "today is a good day to die!" It can leap almost as well as the Island's battle-cats. It is fairly fast, very strong, and agile. Obviously, Canis is a thrilling battle mount. The species has an incredible affinity for teamwork. When in a pack, Canis are naturally spurred to fight for their lives with increased effectiveness, while the most experienced Canis will be designated “Alpha” and gain an even stronger enhancement! Unlike most creatures on the Island, Canis is a dedicated pack hunter, and rarely hunts alone. In addition to being a vicious hunter, it is the size of a small horse, meaning even the largest predators aren't necessarily safe from the packs. The best adjective to describe Canis maxdirus is "scary." This pack-animal is a cunning and brutal predator, capable of taking down prey of nearly any size.

The series will be broadcast on CBC Radio's IDEAS and be made available on CBC Listen in November. The cities are: Winnipeg, Halifax, Whitehorse, Vancouver and Toronto. Taylor will visit five Canadian provinces in September for live recordings of her Massey Lectures. Democracy may not truly exist, but it's still worth fighting for: Astra Taylor.To feel better in this world, we need collective action, says Massey lecturer Astra Taylor Her books include The People's Platform: Taking Back Power and Culture in the Digital Age and Democracy May Not Exist, But We'll Miss it When It's Gone. Taylor was active in the Occupy Movement and has been an outspoken critic of predatory practices around debt. By facing our existential insecurity and embracing our vulnerability, Taylor argues, we can begin to develop more caring, inclusive, and sustainable forms of security to help us better weather the challenges ahead. Mixing social critique, memoir, history, political analysis, and philosophy, her lectures rethink both insecurity and security from the ground up. From home ownership and education to the wellness industry and policing, many of the institutions and systems that promise to make us more secure actually undermine us. This year, Winnipeg-born filmmaker, writer and political organizer Astra Taylor explores how seemingly disparate crises - rising inequality and declining mental health, the ecological emergency, and the threat of authoritarianism - originate from a social order built on insecurity. The CBC Massey Lectures are back this fall, and they may be coming to a city near you.

Loanstar title loans near me10/21/2023 All of these efforts started a couple of years before I even became Miss Texas. I got to work with companies or nonprofits like Planned Parenthood, and use my platform on social media to combine my advocacy and have a larger reach. My honors fellowship was fighting for access to comprehensive sexual education here in Texas. To study and have that major in Dallas, Texas, of all places, was already an act of advocacy - fighting for the protection of marginalized communities.ĭuring that time, I found my voice through my diversity and inclusion department at SMU, as well as my human rights family. In undergrad, at Southern Methodist University, I was a human rights major, which is probably the most liberal degree you can get on the face of the planet. How have you used your platform to speak out?ĪB: A lot of my work and advocacy occurred before I even won the sash and crown. TV : In the past year, while you've been Miss Texas, the government has passed bills limiting diversity and inclusion offices on college campuses and continued its antiabortion crusade. Often there's a lack of that among minority communities like mine and not-so-majority white communities now. A lot of my efforts are to advocate - especially as the composition of our communities continues to change in the Lone Star State - so that people can have conversations with people from different communities. To be a Texan is to truly stand your ground for what you believe in, but also to have the humility and skills to find common ground with anybody. We're now a majority-minority state, and I've had the honor of living here and getting to see that change myself, through my own eyes. Especially as a young woman of color, what does being a proud Texan mean to you?Īverie Bishop: I think of the perception of Texans as independent, stubborn white men in chaps and cowboy boots who are unwilling to listen and learn from other communities and people, but Texas is changing very quickly - it’s changed a lot in the past five years. Teen Vogue : People often have a narrow view of what it means to be a Texan. As part of her platform “Y’all Means All,” she has traveled to schools statewide, promoting diversity initiatives and encouraging compassion across communities - something, she notes, Texas lawmakers could learn a little something about. When the legislature sought to ban diversity, equity, and inclusion offices on public college campuses, she went to the Texas Capitol to talk with representatives about the importance of diversity in curricula. Though she represents the Lone Star State, Bishop is not afraid to speak out against the regressive policies Texas has implemented recently. She won the Miss Texas America title in 2022 - becoming the first Asian American woman to wear that sash and gown - and has since dedicated the past year to redefining the ideas people have about Texas and transforming beauty pageants into platforms for social activism. As a law school graduate who hails from McKinney, Texas, she looked to pageants as a way to pay back her loans. Student debt brought Averie Bishop to the world of beauty pageants. |
