i'm not sure if i hang out with too many 60+ people at temple or if this is just my nature, but i wanted to make a tray of treats for work, ended up making three, still found myself going

"oh but is it enough?? i wanted to make some extra gelt but the chocolate wasn't setting right. is it too late to try and get ingredients for macroons? is this enough variety?"

.... sir you are 23 and young and vibrant why are you fretting like a 75 year old grandpa prepping for a party

#for reference i made #1 whole tray of turtle style matzah crack candy (the goat of the holiday season)#carmel chocolate pretzel bites #potato butterscotch may stacks (trust me they're awesome)#butter cookies with gelt pressed in after baking #cream cheese almond cake cookies #oh and i bought some chocolate maccabees to scatter on the trays #BUT IS IT ENOUGH SWEET TREATS????#jumblr

The diagram for the classic Origami Goat, with a twist to make its horns curve ! It's from this video by by Origami Word, but it seems to be a pretty old/intemporal design that a lot of people have made. I could not find a diagram online so I made one.

(If you make her in yellow/orangy-yellow, then decorate her with red ribbons, you can make your own origami gävlebocken ! )

#She'll be about a third of the size of the original paper #origami diagram #gävlebocken #origami goat #origami #gavlebocken #fun fact that not a lot of people might know : gälvebocken only refers to the goat of the city of Gälve !#however lil goats made of straws are a classic -around christmas- ornament/decoration - especially in northern europe/scandinavian countries #and they're called julbocken !#so yeah technically your little goat can be decorated as a julbocken *like* the gävlebocken is ^^#(but i put that into the gävlebocken tag because i felt like people might want to know they can make a flammable origami of the gävlebocken)

Grief

ref photo by @jawsstone

#artists on tumblr #my friend let me use a really gorgeous photo they took #it made my brain go brrr #and i had to draw this #i usually take my own reference pics so it was cool to work from someone else's #enjoyed drawing this a lot #despite the subject matter #i saw a pretty scene of a narrow alley #with white stairs stained black from people walking on them #and somehow it took my brain here #grief visits every house

The greatest injustice ever faced is that I almost certainly started the still thriving "clown husbandry" tag on here, but any discussion about it (from a know your meme page to a youtube video with 500k views) says it's a joke of "unknown origin" or credited to this post, likely bouncing off of mine (which was actively circulating at the time with like 30k notes):

This is a tragedy for many reasons, most of all because it wasn't just an offhand joke but actually a direct response to some of the funniest online hate I ever got:

They're erasing the truest history of tumblr: its desperate need to seethe and argue over every obvious joke with more than 10 notes.

anyways here is the canonical pet clown. according to me

#but tumblr... i am pagliacci #clown husbandry #look strange aeons on youtube. i know you browse this tag.#I don't respect your 2011 tumblr core take on steven moffat #but I will forgive it when you right this wrong #EDIT: a few people think i'm saying i originated the concept of referring to a clown like an animal #i didn't. i mean i made this really specific joke about exotic animal husbandry and a lot of mutuals bounced off of it with similar jokes #and that's what people started tagging 'clown husbandry'#to this day when you look for the origins a lot of mutual's names (who also kept chickens/pigeons/reptiles/etc) pop up because of this #talking tag

Meet the seven new frog species we just named after iconic Star Trek captains!

Artwork by A. Petzold, CC BY-ND 4.0

At the right time of year along rushing streams in the humid rainforests that stretch the length of Madagascar's eastern and northern mountain ridges, otherworldly trills of piercing whistles can be heard.

Are they birds? Insects? Communicator beeps? Tricorder noises?

No, they're little treefrogs!

Until recently, we thought all of the populations of these little brown frogs across the island were one widespread species, Boophis marojezensis, described in 1994. But genetics in the early 2000s and 2010s showed that there were several species here, not just one.

Now my colleagues and I have shown that they are in fact eight separate species, each with unique calls!

These whistling sounds reminded us so much of Star Trek sound effects that we decided to name the seven new species after Star Trek captains: Boophis kirki, B. picardi, B. janewayae, B. siskoi, B. pikei, B. archeri, and B. burnhamae.

I subtly and not-so-subtly built some Star Trek references into the paper, but probably the best one is this one:

'Finding these frogs sometimes requires considerable trekking; pursuing strange new calls, to seek out new frogs in new forests; boldly going where no herpetologist has gone before.'

— Vences et al. 2024

There’s a real sense of scientific discovery and exploration here, which we think is in the spirit of Star Trek.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that there are at least two Trekkies amongst the authors (including yours truly). As fans of Star Trek, we are also just pleased to dedicate these new species to the characters who have inspired and entertained us over the decades.

On a personal note, this marks a milestone for me, as it means I have now described over 100 frog species! I am very pleased that the 100th is Captain Janeway's Bright-eyed Frog, Boophis janewayae (if you count them in order of appearance in the paper)—she is probably my favourite captain, and I really love Star Trek: Voyager.

You can read more about the discovery of these new species on my website! You can also read the Open Access paper published in Vertebrate Zoology here.
