Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.

I just learned yesterday that Pikachu, my favorite Pokemon, was originally designed not by Ken Sugimori (he only finalized the design), but by a female graphic designer named Atsuko Nishida. 

Also after googling her, I found out that she’s also designed Sylveon–another favorite PKMN of mine. She’s also illustrated some very pretty Pokemon cards!!

Thank you Ms. Nishida! :-) May you get more credit and love for your contribution to the Pokemon franchise.

I went to a zoo once that had some really beautiful ankole-watusi cattle. I’d never seen an animal with such big horns! One of them did something that kind of blew my mind. It was standing where some branches were hanging over the fence and it just sort of -tilted it’s head- a few times to knock the leaves off with the tip of it’s horn. For some reason I had never considered they’d be so aware of where their horns are in space, and could use them to interact with things!

YEAH!! cattle are super super aware of their horns!! have u ever seen a cow with huge horns fit their head through a fence before??

(video from dairydoc on tiktok!!! i recommend her stuff shes really cool)
