Sleeping Giraffes

Despite being the tallest animal, giraffes have the shortest sleep requirements of any mammal, sleeping an average of just 30 minutes per day. And when they do sleep, usually it’s just for a few minutes; until the 1950s, researchers believed that giraffes don’t sleep at all.

The giraffe is a prey animal, so many of its habits have evolved out of necessity. Since it’s difficult to lie down or get up quickly, sleeping is a huge liability. (Source)

fuck you

Hi there, Anon. I hope you’re having a good day. I just wanted to let you know that this message really, really hurt me. Someone I loved was murdered this weekend–there is no punchline coming; someone in my family was murdered–and I came to my Inbox because helping people makes me feel better. I just wanted to help someone, to soothe some aspect of their pain and mine, but there was your Ask, awaiting me.

So I’m going to try to help you, Anon, by telling you how much you hurt me: a lot. I’m crying (as I have been a lot these last few days), I’m in a valley of darkness, and you made it worse. Your casual cruelty has hurt another human being, someone who is every bit as real as you. You made a choice and it had a consequence, which is that you’ve made my broken heart break a little more.

I can hear keys tapping already. I can hear you protesting that you didn’t know I had been through trauma, or that you were just trolling me, or goodness knows what else.

So here is my response: Cruelty always has a consequence, and it is a game of Russian Roulette. Eventually, someone will always be hurt. The only way to win is to not play at all.

I truly pray, Anon, that you never know the pain my family is going through. I also hope that you read this post and that it makes you contemplate why it seemed necessary to send your Ask. I’m not trying to shame you; I have no interest whatsoever in adding to the balance of shame or hate in the world. But you hurt me, and I want you to know it–not as a punishment, but, perhaps, as a gift.

Please don’t remove the artist’s caption/comment when you reblog a drawing/comic/etc.

I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but in my case the caption is often an addition to the joke, and if you take it away, you take away a part of my comic.

I drew the squad! :-D (this could be a scene after the celebration and Levi wants to see if they actually went to bed and gets dissapointed.) Levi’s squad is indispensable. ♥

"You're beautiful"

LIES. When someone tells me that, trust me, I really do try to believe it. Because I want to believe it's true. But really I just can't see/feel that way, considering I grew up constantly being teased, bullied & singled out for looking like this. So I'm sorry if I lack confidence in myself ok I'm just used to hearing from others & seeing myself as the opposite of beautiful. Maybe you're thinking I shouldn't care about what everyone else is saying, but how could I not care if they won't take me seriously? I am neither pretty nor charming at all, but I am intelligent. In my country, outer appearance is what matters the most to them. Their depiction of actors/actresses should, number one: be attractive, or else no one will watch your films (unless you're a comedian). Even most politicians in this country are actors/actresses. How can someone take me seriously here, when they don't even give a damn of what you can and can't do because you just have to be damn attractive? Be attractive here and you'll get money. Fuck intelligence. ((And they even have the guts to complain why the country's economy is going downhill)) I once opened up to my class about this very problem. By the end of my speech, a lot of my classmates comforted me and told me I was one of the most beautiful people they have ever met. That time, I believed them. My mistake. The next day, I overheard those very classmates saying I wasn't what they told me I am, and my other classmates laughed in agreement. This event happened 9 times so far. Someone try to give me proof that it won't happen again I dare you. Tell me, how can I believe you're not lying when you say that? So now, by telling me "you're beautiful" I'll just simply think you're just trying to make me feel good. I swear, it doesn't work. (x)
