I often see foxes referred to as “catdogs” on Tumblr, but I wonder if folks realise how true that really is.

There’s a phenomenon called convergent evolution that occurs when two taxonomically unrelated species exploit the same ecological niche. The features that are needed to best take advantage of a given niche are pretty much the same everywhere you go; thus, over time, those species will become anatomically and behaviourally similar, even though they’re completely unrelated.

And foxes? Foxes are what you get when an ecosystem has no native small felines, so a canine species evolves to take advantage of the ecological niche that would have been exploited by a small feline, if one existed.

In other words, a fox is literally what you get when a dog tries to cat.

Conversely, hyenas are the feliform attempt at constructing a dog.

foxes and hyenas are the best

Ahhhh guys I’m so excited to launch the Pocket Penguin Shirt campaign on teespring! http://teespring.com/pocketpenguin

I really hope we can get this printed- we need 35 shirts to break even. I tried to lower the price as much as possible after the poll results (which is why we need so many to profit… heh), so it’s $15 for the teespring-type shirt and $16.50 for the american apparel-type one. (Note: please don’t pick the pick-up option for delivery! that’s how I get my own family & friends shirts delivered) Shipping is expensive if you are international, so I’m really really sorry if you are out of the US and will try to do better for you all. >
If you can’t afford a shirt that’s okay! If it ends up making a profit then I can hold a shirt giveaway! :D I would really appreciate if you guys spread the word. Thanks for helping me make these dreams a reality. ;u; You all are the best supporters I could ever ask for.

Wah! We reached half of the 35 shirts needed yesterday! >u

affurro:

School is starting soon and I have to drop almost 600 dollars for one of my classes (maybe more if I have to get a new laptop and buy the Adobe CC). Because of this I’m doing some “urgent” commission before move in day. I’ll be doing speed-painted busts for 18 USD until AUGUST 21! After this date I’ll been moving back onto campus and settling in. My regular commission will still be open here and you can keep up to date on your commissions progress here. There will only be 5 slots open at a time but since painting is a little easier on me than lineart hopefully I can keep these going at a constant pace. If you are interested please email me at affurro@gmail.com. If you aren’t able to commission me reblogging would help me very much and would be appreciated!

There are very few pictures of my childhood. Film was expensive and I was an ugly child. Instagram that lunch and your dog doing the thing. Go for it.

    As a history buff, I approve of “selfie culture.” We are the most visually documented generation of all time. When a person takes a selfie, they’re telling the future a story about a moment in time. Their clothing, their makeup, their hairstyle, their accessories, their pose, their background environment… Even the weather on a particular day! Every bit of that information tells a rich tale about our world. 

    What I wouldn’t give to have an album of Anne Boleyn’s selfies, or even just candid shots of random courtiers. I would pore over every image, as scholars do with the few paintings we have, and make guesses about their world based on items in the background, little quirks of fashion, and the relationships of people in the image.

    Every day, we modern folks create a treasure-trove of information for future scholars. We never know what tiny, inconsequential detail captured by a lens will unlock a secret for a researcher. When we record ourselves, we record our culture. We write letters to the future every day. Our humor, our taboos, our social movements, even our memes. (Don’t think for a moment there won’t be a scholar one day who writes a very ponderous tome on Tumblr memes.) Anyone who scoffs and thinks they can determine what scholars of the future will find important is deluding themselves.

    I once saw a Victorian picture of a young woman. She was formally posed and unsmiling. But written on the back was a small verse. “Those in the future, look upon this, and know in this moment, I was happy.” That always haunted me. So, yes, I like looking upon your images today and knowing you’re happy in a particular moment. (After all, that’s what life is, a series of moments.) Capture them. Remember them. Smile when you look back on them. And know that someday, your message may touch someone you’ll never meet.

A large chunk of my childhood went undocumented because we didn’t have a camera. So ages like 8 to maybe 15 there are no pictures of me, which I’m bummed about. I’m all for selfies and tons of pictures, I love looking at them and comparing how things have changed
