I'm addicted to Derpibooru. Help.
Almost a week has passed since I returned from GalaCon, and I've agonized over this post ever since.
It has been a wonderful experience, a blast, and a vacation I absolutely needed even if I didn't know it. How could I render justice upon this fantastic four days? A report? A slightly storified narration? A tongue-in-cheek recollection of salient events?
So, I just got back from seeing The Greatest Showman with my family, and golly, I’m so glad that I decided to go see it. I was so worried that I had set my expectations up too high and that I was going to get another repeat of my experience with the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Instead, this movie exceeded my expectations, and I loved it. I was even applauding by the end. (Thankfully, the theater only had around 10 people.) Don’t bother complaining here
I found a really amazing picture of Fluttershy by an artist named Auurara, sadly I think this is another of our artists that has vanished. Still the image is amazing and beautiful. I think I'll put it on my phone. XD
It continues! My friends, let’s get into our next letter:
B is for...Baobab Fruit!:
*Baobab pulp is rich in antioxidents, Vitamin C, potassium, magnesium and iron.
*Adding Baobab to the diet may be linked to weight loss by promoting feelings of fullness.
*Fresh or Powdered Baobab adds a tasty flavor to many dishes.
*The Baobab is ONLY found in Africa.
*It’s also classified as a superfruit.
Did anyone else see the rare "Strawberry Moon" last night? This was a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle of Lunar epicness!!!!....It was so beautiful!!!
It continues my friends, let’s get into our next letter:
I is for......Ivory (coast)!
*Ivory is essentially what makes up the tusks of mammals such as Elephants, Narwhals, Walruses, etc.
*While high in value, Ivory is definitely illegal to harvest/sell in many parts of the world.
*Most commonly Ivory is used for decoration. Small (or even large) trinkets made of pure Ivory are incredibly expensive (even a piano with Ivory keys is worth a decent price).
It ain't stopping til the 28th people! It continues my friends, let's get into our next letter:
E is for.....Elephant!
*There are 3 species of Elephant (The African Forest, African Bush and Indian).
*Elephant Tusks are made of Ivory and are highly sought-after by poachers.
*The African Bush and Forest Elephants' ears are large and shaped like the continent of Africa (Whereas Indian Elephants' ears are smaller and shaped like India).
Hiya, lovely peeps!
I just wanted to share a poem with all of you. Itʼs written by a dear friend of mine. Enjoy.
The skin you inhabit is a sacred physical vessel for your soul.
So, be gentle towards your body; it keeps you alive every day.
And I know there are days where itʼs difficult to look in the mirror and smile,
We all struggle with insecurities at times.
Itʼs so easy. To glance at our reflection and think,
“I look like a mess today.”
“I donʼt feel beautiful.”
Hey guys.
This song is to everyone who thinks their not beautiful. please know you are beautiful no matter what anyone says.

H is for....Hyena!
*There are 4 species of Hyena (Spotted, Striped, Brown and the Aardwolf).
*Hyenas are very social creatures and live in groups called clans.
*Females tend to be larger than males. Because of this, clans are usually a matriarchy.
*While Hyenas tend to be carnivorous, Aardwolves are actually insectivorous (eats insects/bugs).
If you've read my fanfics, you'll know how much I love "Beauty and the Beast" stories. So I've decided to share my knowledge of the fairy tale and its various versions and adaptations in this new independent podcast: "Beauties and Beasts!" You can listen to it now on PodBean: https://beautiesandbeasts.podbean.com/
It continues my friends, let's get into our next letter:

C is for...Cheetah!
*The Cheetah is the fastest land animal in the world (top running speeds being 60-70mph).
*Cheetahs weigh between 77-143lbs (that's lighter than a baby grand piano).
*Cheetahs are actually classified as a "vulnerable" species of conservation.
*Cheetahs may be wild animals, but they actually can be domesticated.

Yes! My favorite Disney Princess film of the 90s is finally 30 (and yes. That makes us old peoples)!! I know I'm not alone in my love of this classic French fairy tale, yet Disney's version is simply beautiful! Not to mention the songs are just ! Just listen to this (now nostalgia)!!:
That's right people! Just like last year, I did (more or less) 28 days of famous African-Americans facts for the month of February. This year is more on the continent of Africa itself (as I myself am apparently 46% East African descent...most likely from somewhere around Egypt). So to kick this month off right, let's learn our facts about Africa from A to Z!
A is for.....Africa!
*Africa is the only continent that reaches all 4 hemispheres.
