The estimates of the monarch butterfly overwintering population were announced today (Wed. Jan. 30th 2019) by WWF Mexico. The butterflies are so dense at their dozen or so mountain-top clustering …

Every year, a large portion of the monarch butterfly population migrates to Mexico to overwinter. It’s an incredible natural phenomenon, with all the monarchs from the eastern United States (an area of two million square miles) condensing into a space significantly smaller than New York City. 


Having all those butterflies in one place makes this the best opportunity scientists have to get an estimate of eastern monarch population numbers. 


This year, monarch numbers were more than twice what they were last year and the highest they’ve been in the last twelve years! 


Butterfly populations as a whole have been in gradual decline over the past three decades, but this trend seems to have reversed for monarchs over the past four years. Monarchs are still in need of our help and protection, but this last census is great news!

I’ve made it my goal to follow every single furby blog on Tumblr. RB if you’re (exclusively) a furby blog.

[furbhe]

[radiofreddie]

just crying over how romantic Freddie & Jim were nbd

[l0uvie-deactivated20191019]

So I read the book, and almost everytime Jim gave/made Freddie a gift, Freddie would always show it off and say “My husband got me those!” or “My husband made that for me!” It’s so sweet, especially for this one part when they first started dating:

[viroqu]

yeah?

[operation-forb]

i was looking at your blog description and. LIL CAL FURBY???

Yeah!

I had the idea some months back while talking to people in a minecraft server about Homestuck and furbies, and it’s been sitting in my to-do queue since.

I need to know, though,

Are you secretly psychic?

Or do I need to be a lot more worried about this project.

Because you sent this ask in last night…

And I started working on him yesterday morning

We all love summer. We should also be careful with our four legged friends.

Listen to the sound of wikipedia

This is a way to listen to changes to wikipedia. You are literally listening to knowledge being added to the world.

Pluck sounds are an addition, strings are subtractions, and the pitch says how how big the edit is. My heart shudders at this I love it so much.

[libraford]

This is so relaxing.

I COULD LISTEN TO THIS FOR HOURS THANKS

Bockstensmanen, a medieval person who happened to die in a bog which preserved his clothes (and more), clothes like hella comfy??

Like seriously. Comfy and warm wool clothes!

(yes this are pictures of his actual outfit, not reconstructed clothing. They were very well preserved in all except colour. The bog gave everything that yellow shade, i suspect)

Picture from: https://www.museumhalland.se/bockstensmannen/kladerna/

[norsesuggestions]

His kjortel (the clothing for his upper body)

He got a mantel that resemble a poncho

It goes around the entire body! So perhaps not quite a mantel but.

A got a little hood with a fashionedble long thingy at the end

Warm that too! There is no openings for wind or anything, so like. Just pull hood over head, get warm!

Warm socks! Gotta keep em feets warm (and just like in english, the swedish words for trousers, byxor, is in plural in its normal form, just because the medieval version of trousers consisted of two separate peices like here.

Somewhere, there should be something for hos upper legs but idk were that one is)

Anyway! I do think one can tell that keeping warm was an important part of the logic behind bockstensmannens clothing. Not odd that, when he lived in Scandinavia and all…

[norsesuggestions]

When we already at it, with listning his entire outfit. Here his this shoes

[norsesuggestions]

Reconstruction in how he might have looked like in life. The musuem points out, that his skull was very smashed when found, werehas it might be a bit so so with this dolls facial similiarity with bockstensmannen in life. And his hair colour we know not, the bog will colour most hair red with enough time.

But that hairstyle! That he really had! Bockstensmannen wore like Peak Fluffy Medieval Hair Fashion in life

The entire doll wearing bockstensmannens reconstructed clothing
