Hyenas are notable for their cuteness
Correct!
mutual reblogs a post once: normal. expected. they liked the post and wanted to share it. an average transaction in the tumblr economy
mutual reblogs the same post again immediately after: whoops! hit the button twice! happens to us all. easy enough to scroll past. the state of the economy continues
mutual reblogs the same post three times: a statement. dashboard art. the rule of threes. this is no longer economical it is political. there’s something being said here. ! ! !
four times: oopsie daisie tumblr glitched! look at this frog four times :) haha
five times: your tumblr mutual has lost themselves in the post. they’re sobbing. this image, this string of words, this series of gifs from the television show “The X Files” (1993-2002) has enraptured and enthralled them so deeply that for a moment they have forgotten where and who they are. all that exists is the post, and as they click the reblog button over and over again in a way it is themselves they are sharing. it is their essence that they are spreading over the dash. look at me, mutuals. hear me. see me splayed out. this reblog is my intestine; this, my liver; this, my two lungs; this, my beating heart; and this, my sordid brain on full display in my tumblr blog’s glass jar. does it make you uncomfortable? does it make you as uncomfortable as it makes me? has any other person felt so publicly displayed as i do now by this gif of david duchovny? when god made man, were his motivations the same as when man makes art?
six times: jfc we get it
so many misguided metaphors around violence and desire. if the open maw of a panting beast fills you with the want to be devoured, that does not make you prey. while the rabbit trembles in fear, its deepest desire is to run. evolution demands it. in fact, the desire to be eaten does not make you any small animal at all.
it makes you a fruit.
Hexagonal growth in a black olive tree
Let's play: Is it AI or Real?
Red flags: Unbelievable nature you've never seen before!, no external source cited, low image quality could be hiding AI artifacts, lacks scientific name for plant, OP is an aesthetic blog (no offense, I see you credit most of the artists you post, OP <3).
Green flags: Common name of the tree provided (although the leaves don't look like any olive tree I've ever seen).
Reverse image searches and citation trails all seem to lead back to now-deleted Reddit posts. Google Images says it's this one in r/NatureIsFuckingLit, and TinEye says it's this one in r/interestingasfuck. Both were posted back in 2020. This is important because the rise of AI images was in 2022.
People in the comments of places this image is posted throw around botanical terms like "dichotomous branching" [branches split into two at the nodes] and "divaricated" [branches grow far apart from each other], which are cool, but don't tell me what the tree is.
Searching up "Black Olive" on iNaturalist finally got me some answers, and it turns out that YES. This is a real tree! This tree is a Dwarf Black Olive (Terminalia molinetii, Formerly Bucida spinosa). The above photos are some particularly nicely framed shots of a tree with particularly small leaves, which really highlights the branching structure. I really wish we knew the photographer's name. Here are some more photos of the same species:
Terminalia molinetii by jriveracruz50 on iNaturalist, posted under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license.
This tree is native to Southern Mexico, Belize, the southern tip of Florida, and Cuba. Dwarf Black Olives are completely unrelated to Olive trees in the Olea genus that I'm more familiar with (the former is in Order Myrtales [Myrtles, Evening Primroses, and Allies], and the latter is in Order Lamiales [Mints, Plantains, Olives, and Allies]).
Stay critical, and –more importantly– curious, y'all! The world is a beautiful place, we don't need fictional plants passed off as real ones for that to be true.
The way I was just going to scroll past this before the addition because I did assume it was AI generated. AI slob has destroyed my whimsy and capacity for the bizarre

New 'Bootcamp' boyband.
According to sources a new boyband has been formed at Bootcamp with 5 solo contestants thought to be more promising as a group.
The boyband made up of auditionees: Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik
(Liam being one of this years re-auditonee’s) The boyband are yet unamed.
Previous groups formed at Bootcamp have usually been doomed from the start and although usually making it through to the live shows don’t go much further. Futureproof, Hope and Miss Frank to name the most well known,

one of our clients is an animal rehab that works with a specific type of animal and I had to go assign licenses to a bunch of users today and you will never guess what most of them had as their employee profile pictures.
"All of the employees at the condor rehab have once again set their passwords as 'condor' plus their birthdate, I think it's time for another security training."
Providing support for wild animal vets fucking rules, btw.
were their passwords automatically set to that at first, and nobody changed their password? or did they all indeoendently decide "ah, my favourite animal plus my birthdate, a perfect secret that only i know!"
No, they have a password manager so we recommend using it to generate a random password, which is what they all start with. But we also allow them to reset those passwords because they have to use them for device logins and apparently all bird scientists, vets, and volunteers know is observation schedule, write journal article, and condor.
Desperately needed to have this on my blog
