me realizing my experiences with sewing have been a lie this whole goddamn time:

I don’t know about human surgeons, but that’s a suture pattern I use to close skin all the time and you can see why.

The slip stitch (or invisible stitch) was created to hide seams and later used by surgeons.

My cousin is a surgeon and was sewing something and used that stitch and then froze and said “Wait this isn’t a person.”

Grandma said “We used it first keep going.”

remember not to embroider the patient

I don’t know about any of y'all, but I wouldn’t mind a little skin embroidery, as a treat.

This is a map of the range of all giraffe species. By my count that puts them in just 16 countries out of the 54 in Africa (of which 5 are island countries with no territory on the continental mainland). That's 30%, quite a long way shy of all, and as you can see many of those countries that do have giraffes only have a tiny portion of their territory within giraffes' habitats

Wow, I knew they weren't in "every African country", but I didn't realize just how restricted their range was

Good teachers don't mind saying "I don't know" or that they need to look it up and will get back to you.

Not only that but giraffes in different areas have different patterns and it's so cool

Masai giraffes look cool af

This switched gears from a post about white ignorance to a giraffe appreciation post. Such is the nature of tumblr.

An update - as of July 2023, Angola has now reintroduced the Angolan giraffe into Iona National Park from the surviving population in Namibia, and reinforced the population with a second group in May 2024. Giraffes are ecosystem engineers in Angola because of their grazing habits, so once their population grows enough, they'll boost other species diversity too. It's still early days, but we're on the brink of that map needing to be expanded, which is lovely
