Wellesley Tumblr Roll Call
Can we do a roll call for all the Wellesley peeps on Tumblr? Just reblog this if you go to/went to Wellesley. If you are inclined, you can add your name and year but it’s fine if you don’t.

So I drew cassowaries one day, to prepare for my JTA courses, which are basically Natural History Illustration courses. I am genuinely excited.
I used acrylic here on (surprisingly thin paper). Unfortunately for me, I don’t have watercolors. GUSTO KO KASI I-TRY, OKAY.

Things I love about this room:
1) The table: it looks perfect for dinner parties and crafts and chaotic paper-writing. I love the color and how it’s simultaneously sturdy and graceful.
2) The under-the-stairs-window-seat: so many awesome things in one. It looks like the perfect protected place (oh hey alliteration) to curl up with a book or to go sit when you’re sad. It could also easily be used as a space capsule, an underground burrow, or a superhero’s secret hide-out. I guess it depends on who’s sitting there.
3) The natural wood. I’m a sucker for beautiful wood.

Truth: Target has pledged $120,000 in cash to promote the legalization of homosexual marriage.
Just saw this in an email from one of my professors who is an adviser for the Lesbian and Gay Vet Med Association at school. Target’s website says it will donate 100% of T-shirt sales from customers during the month of June to Family Equality Council.
See the t-shirts

Okapia johnstoni - The Okapi
Though it has the same general body shape of the giraffe, okapis have much shorter necks, and their type body evolved long before the giraffes. However, their significantly striped necks and legs did not evolve to what we know today until the species split off into forest-dwelling and grassland types.
Like the giraffe, the okapi has a very long, blue, muscular tongue. It uses this part of its body to groom itself more thoroughly than would otherwise be possible, and to strip the leaves off of bush branches. It also has the cloven hooves and digestive tract of the giraffidae family.
