Upon seeing this part of a Wikipedia page, you’d probably assume the page is for some sort of celebrity

and you’d be absolutely correct, it’s Ms. Olivia Benson Swift

qsmp characters as shapes

Tubbo - Octagon

don't know how to explain that one. it's easy to construct but not to common, got lots of uses, feels like movement, mechanics and big ideas

Roier - Equilateral Triangle

it's a pretty stable shape. you flip it and it still stands upright. but it's still flipped, you know? even if it looks the same

Cellbit - Square Antiprism

yea we're going 3D now. A polyhedron that makes you say huh. what's going on there. a shape that doesn't really know what it wants to be but definitely wants to be something else

Jaiden - Small Cubicuboctahedron

depending on how you look at it this polyhedron is lots of different things

Badboyhalo - 65537-gon

you might think this is a circle, but you'd be wrong. you can construct this polygon with simple tools like a compass. it's like they made that for q!bbh. maybe he even discovered it himself at some point in his past

Foolish - Antiparallelogram

it's pointy, it's confusing, a nice spin on an old classic, I feel like it really fits his energy

Cucurucho - Squround

described as the form of an ice-cream tub. it's a mix of comfort and nostalgia and a vague feeling of dread. what is that thing supposed to be. it's like the bastardised version of the most common and trusted shapes

I think you should read Lost On A Starlit Sea.

Anyways, here are my favorite bears

These are not all species of bears, just my faves. Also, no order cause I can't brink myself to rank these babies. Under the cut cause longpost

Beggining with a lesser known one, the only bear species that exists in south america is the Spectecled Bear (also known as the Andean Bear)

They have this name because of the white/cream markings on their face that can somewhat resemble glasses! As I said before, they're the only south american species of bear and is the last short faced bear alive, and most are found in the Andes. I like them because look at that cute little face and also latino solidarity. Fun fact, Paddington is a specteled bear considering he is from Peru.

Now moving on. She is beauty, she is grace, she is the largest species of bear AND the largest land predator, she is the Polar Bear

Few fun facts. Polar Bear's scientific name is Ursus maritmus (which would very roughly translate to sea bear) bc of how much time they spend swimming (which also means they are grear swimmers!). They are the most carnivorous of the bears, and imo, they will eat anything that is made of meat. The reason you see so many pictures of mother bears hugging their cubs is because of the cold. Althought, when they are old, their fur is great to protect from the harsh weahter, when they are young they are still vulnerable to it, so mama bears hugs her cubs to keep them warm. Oh and another thing, I discovered that bears can do this thing where they'll find a hole in the ice where seals come up to breath and they just...sit there and wait for it to happen (and they can wait for a LONG time). I love how cute they are when they're young and how fierce they are as adults, and honestly, look at their faces, I love them a lot.

Next, we're back in the american continent, this time with the American Black Bear

The american black bear has a lot of subspecies, which are mostly different colors than their signature black fur, they are omnivorous (and they will eat anything, like i've seen videos of them eating crabs and moths), and also, they are really good climbers! They are mostly found in North America, and they are a bit more chill, like if you ever encounter a black bear, you can scare it away by making yourself look big and making loud noises. They don't have the shoulder hump that brown bears have, and their ears are more prominent (which makes them so freaking cute.) Also, there has been black bears who have made their dens inside of trees, which i think is cool .

Lastly, this might be cheating, but it's a subspecies of the black bear, which is the Kermode Bear

Mostly found in British Columbia, the kermode bear is also known as the spirit bear or the ghost bear, due to their white fur (important to note that they do not have albinism, look at their noses and eyes). The gene that makes them white is a recessive gene, so they are very rare. It's believed that they might be more succesful when hunting fish bc of their fur color, which could make the fish believe that they are a cloud. I love how different they are, how rare they are, and how beautiful they look, especially in contrast with the green around them.

As an honourable mention, I'll talke not about a species but an individual bear known was Grizzly 399.

(she's the mother in case you couldn't tell). She and her cubs can be found in the Yellowstone National Park, and she's the most famous brown bear in the world. She is famous for how many cubs she has had and raised (22 cubs and grandcubs) and she lives in proximity to humans (some believe that the reason she does that is to avoid the male bears when she has cubs). Also she has learned and taught her progeny how to avoid getting hit by cars, and she's a very old bear. (having 27/28 years, which trust me, for bears is a lot and she's still having cubs!). There have been hunters who claimed to have killed Grizzly 399 but they were all lies as she is very alive and well with her cubs. Also, forgot to mention, the reaosn she has had so many cubs is because while most bears give birth to 1 or 2 cubs, 399 often births twins and triplets, and she has had quadruplets which is very rare for most bears (and she raised them succesfully, which is even more impressive).

Anyways, these are my favorite bears.

Lemon Fact #1

The lemon originally came from one of the original citrus species, the citron! Which just looks like a big lumpy lemon!

This used to confuse me, because "citron" means "lemon" in french! Haha! But "citron" in english translates to "cédrat".

I think I still prefer the lemon over the citron, but I would like to taste it sometime!

Do you think European or American robins look better?

Better? In what way do you mean better? Better at flying? Eating worms? Finding seeds? Stealing things? Or by how they look? It's rather rude to judge someone by their looks, you know..

How could I decide between the two?

Between the humble businessman that is the American Robin,

or the incredibly soft round thing that is the European Robin. Just look at it.. It's like it's trying to ask you a question but it's shy...

How could I possibly choose one over the other?

okay listen I've been OBSESSED with Cats the musical (1998 version) lately and I've watched it and analyzed it so many times that I can now recognise and name every cat

except for ONE

Who the hell is she????? There's no names left on Wikipedia. This is unacceptable. Am I forgetting someone obvious? Is anyone in here equally crazy enough to know this?? Why am I so frantically obsessed with this weird as hell musical??? Pleaseee I need answers

[n7punk]

wait this whole fucking time i thought it was zach that was jughead. i thought he was the one that did the tumblr experiment. i had this switched the whole time and it was CODY? okay listen obviously i know those were characters. and i dont know how to say this that makes it make sense, but like it tracks actually for cody's actor to be the one who did that but it DOES NOT track for zach's actor to just be casually uninvolved and growing a goatee on the sidelines

i just think it’s funny that alan alda was a young adult in the 50s and the 60s and the beginning of the 70s, it just erawise feels miles apart -- you literally see the transition from the first episode of mash to the second (it’s all in the hair)

1958

1970

[trivialbob]

While driving to the library* this afternoon I saw a Chevy Celebrity station wagon, moving under its own power. These were made from 1982 - 1990. I’m shocked that one is still on the road in my state.

They were not the best cars. Around here you can still see sometimes, at least in the summertime, autos built in the 50s, 60s, and early 70s. Who hasn’t turned his head at the sight of a ‘57 Chevy, a ‘66 Impala, or a 1970 Camaro? But an ‘84 Celebrity? Clearly that name is a misnomer. No one ever rear-ended another car while drooling over a 1985 Chevy instead of watching traffic. ‘80s GM vehicles are the nadir of desirable cars. Some are more rare than ‘57 Chevys.

A design feature I do like of cars like this Celebrity era are the narrow B-, C-, and (on wagons) D-pillars. Hondas of the era had wonderfully thin roof pillars. Today’s cars have much larger blind spots around thick roof pillars.

Station wagons are some of my favorite cars. I’d love to have an Audi or Mercedes wagon. BMW stopped selling 3- and 5-series wagons in the US some time ago. Boo!

*When I got to the library I saw a librarian wearing an N95 mask and rubber gloves. If you don’t know which employee I’m referring to, I understand. Because several of the librarians there wear gloves. One sports a plastic face shield over her N95.

I had to ask a question. When I see someone wearing a mask I reasonably try to keep my distance, out of respect. And who knows, maybe that mask is to protect me from their diseases.

As I approached the six-foot, once-federally-recommended, safety perimeter, the librarian chirped then leaped back at least three feet. I stopped abruptly, giving her an extra foot of security, then loudly asked my question. Uh oh, I was in a library when I shouted.

Doesn’t matter. She hated me either way.
