If you're on Tumblr iOS, here's two features you might not be aware of:
Tap and hold the like button to like extra hard.
Also, you can scrub gifs. Slide your finger left and right across gifs to rewind and fast forward them, like a video. You can pause them by starting this gesture and holding in one place in the middle of it once you find the frame you're looking for. Note: this does not work after you've tapped on a gif to view it in the zoomed-in "lightbox" mode, it only works within posts.
Try it on the GIF above, or this one below!

bunjy why did we evolve to need pillows for our heads while we sleep this just seems like a poor move
pillows as we know them are very much a modern invention, it's true! but putting something soft under your neck to support your head while you sleep is nothing new for us. humans have been doing it since the very beginning, and most of our ape relatives still do it today!
early humans would have made comfortable piles of grasses or other foliage to sleep on, comfy comfy cozy.
so viewed from this angle, pillows are just a natural extension of the ape bed-making instinct! and so are blankets, mattresses, the fifty stuffed animals you fight for space with every night, and your nightlight.
it's all just an expression of this basic biological truth- Big Primate Wanna Be Comfy.
night night, everybody!

Meet Winkie! As a resident of the Gibbon Conservation Centre he lives the good life with lots of fresh fruit, time with his family, and soaking up the sunshine. With a face like that, who wouldn't want to spoil him? Luckily, his mom Lucia does a great job. He hasn't left her side since being born in October of 2021.
