I've been dealing with a lot of fuzzy feelings recently. Feeling safe at home is new to me, but I know now, that there's a place for me in this world. I love waking up each and every day right next to those I love, I'm finally home 💙
💙🐄💙
I love both of you, mroooomoo! Here's a small heartwarming doodle for my loves :3
The iconic Vivienne Westwood - a fashion designer and activist who influenced the creation of my national costume for so many reasons' Vivienne Westwood used her fashion as a vehicle to prevent climate change, which many of you know goes hand in hand with my views on fast fashion. To support her legacy, the gloves, VW tie, pearls and hat from this costume are all second hand A whilst the main body of the costume was created in Bulgaria by a woman entrepreneur - I chose this lady specifically, not only because she specialises in creating outfits from beautiful tartan but it's also important to support our fellow women in business! However, this costume resonates with me on a deeper level as my heritage is Scottish and my surname, "Cowie" is of Scottish descent As a model it only seemed right to take inspiration from one of the many iconic runway looks, this one was from Vivienne Westwood Fall edition in 1994
yeah guys last night was great and all but we could have been at the magic the gathering convention where elijah wood of the dj duo wooden wisdom played enya. that could have been us
Just wanted to ask if you have some authors recommendations for the topics of Herpetology, Biology or Ecology
Thanks!!
Jonathan Losos has put out some fantastic books that range from popular science (Improbable Destinies) to actual textbooks (Lizards in an Evolutionary Tree), and he is also the originator of island biogeography study in anoliid lizards of the Caribbean.
I really quite enjoyed Platypus by Ann Moyal. Great writing on a bizarre and fascinating subject.
Andrea Wulf's The Invention of Nature is simply fantastic science history biographic writing. It blew me away. I had never read anything like it before.
Regrettably, I have a longer list of authors in these genres that I did not enjoy (e.g. Robert Cowie, John Wright, Kate Jackson), and an even longer one I have not yet read but are on my to-read list (Harry Greene, Thor Hanson, Erica McAlister, Neil Shubin, Rachel Carson, Frans de Waal, etc.). Currently I am not making any headway on the latter list because I am currently working my way through all of the Discworld books in their order of publication. And I barely have/make any time for reading for pleasure anyway.
I feel like I should properly introduce all my stuffed animals to tumblr…. Perhaps I will add better pictures later but here are some brief descriptions of some of them:
Raff (he/him) | Species: giraffe
Cowie (she/her) | Species: hippopotamus
Raffy (he/him) | Species: giraffe
Pi (any pronouns / no pronouns) | Species: long-tailed tit
