Jane Goodall’s final, urgent, message "Intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

Before her death, Jane Goodall left us all with a compelling message from her last interviews: While we’re the most 'intellectual animals' to ever walk the planet, "we’re not intelligent."

“Because intelligent creatures don’t destroy their only home.”

From our friends at @vox.com:

The Cinematographer That Kubrick, Kendrick, Spike Lee, Beyoncé, Hype Williams, and Luca Guadagnino Have in Common ‘After the Hunt’ cinematographer Malik Hassan Sayeed on shooting New York for Kubrick, the battle for ‘Belly,’ and how he got the craziest shot in ‘Clockers.’

can't believe Luca got Malik Hassan Sayeed shooting feature films again! literally his first movie since Belly! BELLY!!!

From the Black pool of genius... I'll say "Superwoman".

What I Mean When I Say I'm Tired I don't mean I want to sleep. I mean I want to disappear for a while. To be rain on a stranger's roof. To be smoke rising from someone else's fire. I don't want to die. But I do want to rest in a way the world has never allowed me. I don't want comfort. I want quiet. I want the mercy of being unseen without being unloved.

Good to hear! I am definitely going to watch

One of the great character actors. The screen always lit up when he walked on. There was a kindness about him mixed with humor that you can't fake. Just one of those greats who always made every film or TV show he was in better.

I'm hanging in there! Hope things are good your way 😊
