todays herbarium story: new fucking way of dating things to confuse future archivists. someone wrote 66-1-3 as the date on a specimen. obviously i assumed 66 was the year and either the day was January 3rd or March 1st. put “1966” for the year in the file, marked as needing confirmation.
anyway one of the historical archivists went back and used the guys name to figure out about what month he confirmed it? and it was fucking 1866. the guy who cataloged it died in 1920.
i inadvertently handled a specimen thats older literally everyone i know and love and my only thought was mild irritation because it was dated weird.
we still dont know if it was found in January or March.

Two weeks with Aurora! Here's a recap of life so far.
Our targeted socialization was pretty successful, we managed a bunch of different experiences and she rocked them.
Monday: Busy street at rush hour
Tuesday: Train station
Wednesday: Construction site
Thursday: Bike path next to train line
Friday: Outside a coffee shop
Saturday: Baby hike in the wild
She's still doing great in overall good citizen behaviours. She has specifically been crushing:
✅ Sleeping through the night
✅ Name recognition
✅ Basic training skills
✅ Recovering from being startled
✅ Being crated quietly
Honestly she's doing amazing, I am so so proud of her. 💜
Areas for improvement for the week include:
✴ Bullying Pike (which is improving but still not great)
✴ Demand barking and overall noise level
✴ Chewing on the couch in excitment
Our biggest victories this week include:
🎉 Baby hike 2.0 with beautiful ranging, reasonable baby recall, and great enthusiasm
🎉 Calling off play with Pike on multiple occasions
Our big goals for next week:
🚀 Less harassment of Pinecone
🚀 Working through the foundation levels of the baby conditioning class I'm taking
Really excited for the next few weeks with this girl! 💜

Red Guy being deluded with his crush on Duck is equally funny, me thinks
Just this feral full on rabies man Duck who commits war crimes and Red’s delusional ass goes “he is so dreamyyyyy ❤️❤️❤️”
HE'S GOT THEEE WORST TASTE AND I WILL STAND BY THAT FOREVER.
Like, Red has got his issues, but you could see why people would like him. Sooo many people have/had a crush at him at one point it's unreal. NO ONE FEELS THAT WAY ABOUT DUCK GDGDF
THERE'S SO MUCH WRONG WITH HIM... FOR GODS SAKE LOOK AT HIM.
look at his PANTS LEG

hey Genshin artists! i've got a tip for you!
TL;DR: In the current Fayz event in Genshin, on PC you can use the walking stance during time-freeze to "tick forward" time in tiny steps without cancelling the current animation. This can be really helpful for getting good reference photos with unique angles in each snapshot!
I'll be reblogging this post with a more detailed explanation and extra photos, but for this post I'm keeping it short and showing one set of images with instructions.
One note, though: you have to re-toggle walking after each time you "move". So the sequence is like this: Freeze time, take a photo, toggle walking, tap a movement key to unfreeze time, and repeat. You have to toggle walking each time you do this, because after each freeze/unfreeze, you're put back in the default running state.

I went to NYCC today! First time since the Days Long Past (pre-pandemic) that I’ve been in crowds and it was INSANE. It's been a while since I've posted my face too, so here it is lol
The event was supposed to be fully masked so I went ahead and ordered a custom mask protector a month ago to wear to the con. Surprise surprise it was not enforced, but I felt cool and protected with my mask protector <3
I decided that one day's enough for me though, so I'll be back to my usual hermit self now lol (and I have run out of Clonetober backlog and am screwed unless I draw lmao)

ahaha, and now that i am semi-employed, i can bitch about it on tumblr! (i'll feel bad abt it tho)
basically, just some graphic design work, there's a forest market here every weekend and the owners have conscripted me to design their adverts every week-
now, i'm not eighteen anymore and i can take feedback like an adult now, which is a massive relief both personally and professionally, so my issue is not the critiques i'm getting, but the one very specific critique i just got which is that my employer (who is a woman!!!) doesn't want our town to believe that they're running a 'feminist collective' (actual term used) simply because i chose two photos of women to use on the advert.
wot.
literally, just two women who work at the goddamned market, will somehow bring down the entire concept of diversity in the market.
FEMINIST COLLECTIVE.
a potter and a woman who makes curries, this is the future liberals want.
