Hi and welcome to my cosplay / fandom / personal blog! I love cosplay, anime/manga, film, clever and beautiful cartoons, video games, and stupid puns.  Follow my FB page for solely cosplay: https://www.facebook.com/HelioPixy?ref_type=bookmark

Thousands of years ago, somebody looked at a flock of sheep and went, “well, they aren’t cold.”

Guys. Guys.

It’s so much better than that.

So once upon a time, goats and sheep were essentially the same animal, and all of them had hair. Now, you can do some stuff with hair, but you can’t do a lot, so mostly sheep/goats were kept for meat and milk.

Except then a mutation showed up, and some of the sheep/goats had WOOL instead. And someone realized that 1. you could spin that shit, and 2. then you could WEAVE that shit, and 3. IT GREW BACK.

Generations of selective breeding ensued. Two visibly discrete species emerged, one primarily for meat and milk, and the other primarily for wool. They also have different behavioural characteristics, because independence was not helpful in a sheep, so it was bred out of them. Sheep remain one of the few non-draft animals that we farm even though they are not delicious.

The most similar part of sheep and goats that remains today is their skeleton. On an archaeological dig, you find THOUSANDS of bones and bone fragments that can only be identified as “sheep/goat”. It’s incredibly frustrating, but also kind of hilarious after you’ve spent enough time in the sun.

ANYWAY, human beings have always been smart and surprisingly good at changing nature because they want a sweater.

The entire knitting community needs to hear this.

Oh man I’m so glad I can add this to my arsenal of responses to people who say all GMOs are made of poison.

In zooarchaeology, sheep/goat is a valid category and no one will press you further on the issue.

Correction, no other zooarchaeologist will press you for a more definite answer, but osteologists, forensic anthropologists, and general archaeologists will sometimes ask for a better ID.

To which you reply: “You initially labeled this as a human child, do you really want to question my professional opinion?”

And then there will be no further questions about it.

In the Polish village of Zalipie, all the buildings are covered in painted flowers. Over 100 years ago, when everyone had wood-burning stoves, someone painted a flower on their ceiling to cover a soot stain, and it became a trend. In 1948, the town started an annual painted cottage competition to help recover psychologically from WWII, and now all the homes, churches, bridges and barns are covered in flowers – inside and out.

My 2017 aesthetic is movies about black people getting stellar reviews and crushing it at the box office

Happy Black History Month!

My wife is trying to start up a bakery which would specialize in alcohol-infused pastries (up to 5% alcohol by volume) in a smaller college town. Of course she’ll also offer more traditional cakes, pastries and pies too, but she thinks alcoholic products will make her really stand out.

She’s had a hard time getting start-up funding from banks and decided to try crowdfunding. https://www.gofundme.com/green-fairy-pastries

Rewards include: recipes, 1-on-1 cooking classes (in person or over webcam), and even food shipped to your door. 

If you can’t afford to contribute but still want to support a small strong-black-female-owned business, please like and share.

Julie Dash’s Daughters of the Dust (1991)  is the first film written and directed by a black woman to achieve a wide theatrical release, premiering at the Sundance Film Festival.  Her last director credit was on television for The Rosa Parks Story (2002), but there is no shortage of female directors of all colors in the 21st century.
