When she first visited the area in 2013, Nigerian conservationist Rachel Ikemeh knew she had to act fast to save the monkey. A species endemic to Nigeria, the surviving population had retreated into fragmented habitat pockets scattered across 77 square miles of the vast Niger Delta region in the south of the country.
Costa Rica was the first tropical nation to successfully turn around forest loss. After suffering widespread deforestation caused by agriculture and cattle farming, the nation shifted strategy by implementing conservation initiatives, establishing protected natural areas, and creating financial incentives for landowners to preserve forests.
Currently, forest canopy blankets nearly 60% of Costa Rica's land area, transforming what was once an ecological crisis into one of the world's standard-setting conservation achievements.
It stands as a powerful testament to nature’s ability to heal if provided the opportunity.
I'm not a fan but I got interested and I wanted to start collecting the dolls. I'm browsing a buy and sell app and found this character I can't recognize. I'm almost sure the hair (totally black) are cut (and quite badly), but she has bronze skin, a green tattoo with a white star/asterisk (?) under the right eye, "Egyptian-style" red and yellow eye makeup and dark red lipstick; she's also wearing all black and has Frankie Stein's black lightning boots. I did a research looking for any character that had the green tattoo I mentioned but I couldn't find anything, I also can't seem to find anyone with completely black hair.
Can anybody help me? I'm sure anyone who knows more than me about Monster High and Monster High dolls can identify her just with this description. Also, is there a way to replace the hair?
Thank you in advance.
I'm having very bad thoughts and my psychiatrist is useless. I don't have any actual friends nor any person who actually loves me. I just had another breakdown after being shunned for the nth time while looking for someone to listen to a bit of vent (I was rather... shocked by something I heard about another person and I was worried for said person), I just... totally lost it. I can't stop crying. I'm invisible. I tried to vent somewhere else on here but I got completely ignored. It seems like everyone can say whatever they want and they will still find someone to listen to them, I get treated the worst way every time - ignored, bullied or abused.
I'm afraid to post even here because I always get the worst reactions no matter what I say. At best, my post will be deleted.
But please, I need (at least) some virtual hugs. Please. Please. At least one. Somebody please hear me for once. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please. I'm begging on my knees.
ETA: Thank you to everybody. No, things haven't gotten any better. But I genuinely appreciate. Thank you.
Having yet another breakdown. I'm tired. I swear I'm the most ignored and invisible person ever. I look for friends and I get bullied or ignored or worse. I look for comprehension and I get pushed away IRL or blocked and kicked out of whatever venting space there is on the Internet. Like. I've been banned from ED spaces for talking about my EDs the very same way other people do. The stories I could tell. I'm the very last thought even for the people who call themselves my best friends, and I've been thinking about it since yesterday.
Everybody says I'm a good person and I "dEsErVe BeTtEr" but then they are the first to ignore me or talk over me when I try to say anything about how I feel.
I'm "ThE sWeEtEsT pErSon" YOU ABUSED ME FOR YEARS/DECADES.
I'm never enough and I don't know what to do.
Speaking again about Internet spaces, I've had blogs for years and not a single interaction for months and months, while literal depression blogs have thousands of followers. I'm. I don't know. What's wrong with me? People say they care and nobody really cares, my psychiatrist had the guts to retraumatize me severely after knowing me for years and knowing I have had PTSD since 2021. I just. What is wrong with me? Why am I so bad in every possible way?
Why is the love I give never reciprocated?
Why am I never actually cared for?
Why am I never listened?
Why do I have to end up resorting to hurting myself just to feel something because the world doesn't have anything good for me?
I had a cat I loved with all my heart and he died very young. That was all that life had ever given me and it was ripped away. I just. I don't want to be here anymore. I am nothing. I am nothing. I am nothing. I hate myself so much. I am never enough. I want to hurt myself so bad. I don't want to be here anymore.
I swear to fucking god this post will wither be deleted or I will be banned or just simply ignored because that's what life is for me.
Had I been the literal worst person I could be people would love me. But I care too much about everything and everyone and I don't want anyone to hurt. And this has brought me nothing but pain and complete solitude.
I hate myself for being so weak and for not managing to off myself when I was younger.
I'm fucking 35 and not a single thing to show for it. I should just die. No one will miss me, not even my family.
And I don't want anyone to reply to this post because I know I will somehow be hated even more for some misplaced accent or whatever.
