me: this is my first studio apartment. it should be mature.

also me: but I own forty Lisa Frank posters.

honestly same

The only thing stopping me from putting up all the shit I've collected over the years like this is the idea I'd have to take it down before my parents come home again...

the ability of goats to use their special little symbiotic microbes to turn twigs and leaves into tasty milk and meat and fibre is amazing. and they can thin brush for fire mitigation? the perfect animal. thank you goats. 

Yeah, I was gonna go back though your old posts and try to find some art for references.

My art? Most of it's either on DA or tapas. I think I need to dig all my stuff back up and be more active on multiple sites. I know there are sites that can integrate multiple social media into one landing page.

May not have anything set up any time soon, though. Work blocks a shit ton of sites and has no wifi signal nearby so I'm limited to data there. Xp

Anonymous asked:

Do you have a Twitter?

Eh. Kinda? I tried to do a thing that would cross post there and here when I did a movie liveblog session but it didnt work too well. I may bite the bullet and start a real one. Might look into Instagram, though. It seems like it has decent integration here for cross posting. Probably nix all the political shit, though. Twitter has a nasty habit of doxing people over politics. Dont know about Instagram...

Villain: Shub-Nuggurath, Outer God of fetid fertility 

ia! ia! Shub-Nuggurath, ia! the Black goat of the woods and her thousand young, bless our tongues with your tar-y milk and let new gardens bloom in our flesh!  ia! ia!
-A black goat cultist at the culmination of a grand ritual

Setup: There are gods and powers friendly to mortal kind, reflecting and encouraging beliefs and ideologies coherent with the desires of their worshipers. Then there are the “outer” gods, entities who pursue ends heedless of their effect on the congregations they govern.   A war god may encourage slaughter and cruelty in the pursuit of victory, but an Outer god of war may demand their followers poison their wells and salt their own fields so they have no option but to slaughter others for sustenance .  Only the mad or short-sighted hitch their fortunes to such reckless entities, as they are actively shunned by most pantheons who jealously protect the fragile words that have come to worship them, and encourage the destruction of outer-god cults for fear of the destruction that follows in the wake of their calamitous rites.

Often depicted as a black goat, a twisted tree, or as a faceless and gravid satyr, Shub-Nuggurath is patron over all things that grow and rot without concern for others. Invasive species, cancers, plagues, and poisonous creatures are her chosen heralds: the “thousand young” so often mentioned in her litanies. Her influence sees strange, alien gardens growing in unexpected places, as her toxic vitality suffuses her worshipers and the land they dwell upon, heralding new and unwelcome forms of growth. 

Adventure hooks: 

  • Desperate to defend his homeland and traditions from the slow encroachment of urbanizing empire, a druid breaks from his pacifistic circle to invoke Shub-Nuggurath, sowing her poisons through the forest and raising an army of blighted plants and rabid, mutant animals. 
  • Renowned for her miracle cures, a well connected doctor in service to the royal court secretly invokes the Black Goat in order to perform her medical miracles. When traditional skills and magics fail, she has the outergod grow new “improved organs”, implants squiggling symbiotes, or transfuses sickened flesh with alien humors.  When it’s discovered that some of her follow up medicines contain poison ( necessary to curtail the mutagenic spread of her initial treatment) she’s forced to flee the capital, leaving her patients behind to “bloom” in the black goat’s care while she’s hunted as a would be assassin.  
  • Among their many other enticing attractions, a traveling circus boats an extensive menagerie of beasts from exotic lands. sadly the menagerie is closed to visitors at the moment, as one of the recent acquisitions seemed to be carrying some sort of sickness that’s spread to the other animals. It’s not a day or two into enjoying the circus’s other attractions before the party must leap into action and protect the revelers from tigers and elephants and a whole zoo of outer-god warped beasts.

vegans who refuse to even eat backyard eggs….why

people who think its unethical to eat chicken eggs are like people who think bees should keep all their honey. they literally produce more than they need and your unwillingness to even buy local means you are doing nothing to help them, support your small farmers you heathens

This is not true.

1) honeybees do not produce “extra honey.” And beekeepers don’t take some of the honey, they take all of it.

2) chickens have been artificially selected from naturally producing eggs once a month to producing eggs every couple of days. Their bodies are not sustainable and the health complications of this rapid egg production kills chickens.

Hey idk who like. Lied to you about the way honey farms work, but could you stop spreading misinformation? Are you a beekeeper?

Because I am!

Beekeepers make sure hives are fed before there is pollen in the air, protected from predators and the elements, and have enough honey to sustain themselves. We don’t take all of it.

But overproduction of honey leads to stagnation in the hive. It puts stress on the queen to lay eggs, and when they inevitably fill up all their space with honey (instead of filling up the multiple empty, clean boxes of frames beekeepers might put on top of the main hive box), the queen can get so stressed she dies. If there’s a spike in the weather and the hive hasn’t prepared new queen brood, that’s it! The colony is dead. Because there wasn’t enough space for eggs and honey in the hive.

Beekeepers take excess honey. We are constantly monitoring the state of the hive, checking for parasites, analyzing the eggs for diseases, and making sure they are fed and healthy (usually with sugar water and pollen substitutes until they have made enough honey to sustain themselves in the early spring months). If a queen dies prematurely, we make every attempt to replace her to save the colony.

I know there’s an urge to patronize everyone who works in the farming industry, but try to understand the differences between small scale agriculture and industrial farming. There IS a difference. And stop spreading misinformation.

If you’re this passionate about ethical consumption, look into some of the ecofeminist research on non-hierarchal interspecies relationships (working on building animal-human relationships in a non exploitative way).

But yeah! Stop spreading misinformation! Please 🐝

Also if I can harp on the chicken part?

Yea Chickens are some of the most abused animals on big factory farms and I’ll be the first to admit it’s criminal and more needs to be done to regulate this.

Yes selective breeding over time has caused an increase in the ammount of eggs produced by chickens and factory farms have some messed up practices to get more eggs from them including forced moutling.

THIS IS WHY YOU SUPPORT LOCAL FARMERS AND THEIR EGGS

Many people take to raising their own hens because of America’s immoral treatment of hens in factory farms like you’re not helping the poor chicks by starving these farmers financially you’re just hurting the one people trying to change things and making the OPTION of cage free organic cruelty free eggs even harder to find

Yeah, as someone who like… lives on a chicken and duck farm… Coops help keep wild animals out but birds are kinda dumb. And chickens literally do not need to keep the unfertilized eggs! 

Most chickens will sit on unfertilized eggs until they can tell if they are or not… By the smell of rotting egg. Yeah, ew. Farmers can hold that bitch to the flashlight and tell if there’s a baby in there! They know! The eggs are not being abused!

Also, if you separate your cocks and your hens, there wont even be that issue in the first place. Egg-laying is basically chicken menstruation, but unlike mammalian menstruation which is full of blood and dead tissue, chicken menstruation is full of tasty tasty nutrients

Support local farms! Most grocery stores carry eggs from small, local farms that give hens acres of open pasture and healthier housing.

Also, that “selectively bred to lay eggs more often” thing? Literally just comes from feeding the chickens every day. The chicken’s ancestors would only lay an egg when there was abundant food, so people started feeding them every day to get more eggs. That’s it.

*scary poltergeist noises*

WHATS UP DOODLES?!

Yes we are BACK! After over a year!?

If you want to read the whole convoluted story of what happened, head over to Goats main blog [HERE] for an explanation.

But y’all dont give a darn about that mess. You’re here for a goofy comic, right?!

Everyone is waiting on baited breath wondering what that phone call on the last page posted was all about???!?!?!?!

Weeellllll… You wont know yet. c:

Because we did a reboot! I wasn’t happy with a LOT of those early pages both story wise and art wise. I rebooted the comic about a year ago and we now have 2 chapters for you all to read with a 3rd on its way this month!

And its now being hosted on tapas.io so you guys can find it easily in order!

So please enjoy all the new pages and if you’re interested in more goat art there will be more stuff posted to the main account from this past year so please enjoy it all!

Yes my dears I am BACK!

Some of you know what happened, some of you do not.

Last November (2018) I was nuked. My account was scrubbed and no reason was ever given. I never once received an email giving me any reason behind the ban. I submitted close to a dozen requests for information and they were all ignored.

So, just before the big porn ban last December I recreated my account under the same-ish name ( @goatyellsateverything ) and put the word out best I could to get the info to you all. Sadly, not everyone was connected and not everyone got the info of the new account and I thought I’d lost you all for good.

THEN, shortly after the site was sold this year, it seems like someone finally looked into the backlog of emails and, again with absolutely no info on why I was banned at all, I received an email saying my account was activated again!

So why did it take so long to make my comeback here?

Well….I have no good answer to that. It was part laziness, part not sure how well the new people would transfer here, and part wanting to make a big announcement worth wild.

Eventually, I just decided to make this post on the first day of the new year/decade.

SO.

With all that said! I’m back and I’ve actually got a years+ worth of content for you all!

So enjoy that dash spam and the return of the one and only GOAT-YELLS-AT-EVERYTHING! c:
