Crank Green World Hippo Day Cut and Assemble Hat/Headband Pattern
My favorite holiday is world hippo day, February 15th, which falls during the project for awesome this year. To celebrate world hippo day Ive been making some crafts that I thought some folks here might enjoy as well, and this is by far the most *abstract*. Attached are 8.5" x 11" patterns for print and assemble Crank Green Hippo Hats, which is simply put: Hank Green, as a crab, as a hippopotamus, as a Hat. There is a black and white coloring book version and a pre-colored version. For best results print on cardstock and assemble using staples, but tape and copy paper will also work! Happy World Hippo Day and P4A to all who celebrate, and keep up the good work of fighting to decrease world suck!
Happy (almost) World Hippo Day!
Hi People of Tumbler! World Hippopotamus Day, February 15th, is coming up soon, and I wanted to share this super dope holiday with you! I have been celebrating World Hippo Day since I was a kid, and it’s a day that’s a lot of things for a lot of people. Many who celebrate of use the day to learn about the majestic nature of nature’s best creature: the hippopotamus, and to others it's a day to advocate for hippos, or an anti-Valentine’s Day of sorts. To me, it is all of these things, and it is also a day to spread hippo joy. Every year I try to spend the day handing out tiny hippos to random people, and it seems to make them happy. I think that hippos would be happy to know that they make people happy.
This year, World Hippopotamus Day falls during a charity livestream fundraiser called the Project for Awesome (AKA the P4A) that is held by some really cool internet people like Hank and John Green. The P4A raises money for organizations like Save the Children and Partners in Health that work hard to decrease world suck, and just generally make the world a better place. Due to the US gov's pause in USAID, the global fight against preventable & treatable diseases like TB, HIV, & Malaria is suffering a huge setback and now more than ever Nonprofits dedicated to fighting these diseases need support. More info on the P4A and fighting global inequity can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBjQgizWRBA . If you are able to please look into donating to these wonderful causes or to the P4A, or spread awareness about them. It's what the hippos would want. Project for Awesome Website Link

*And just in case you were wondering, Hippos are susceptible to Bovine tuberculosis (bTB), because everything ties back to TB https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33423384/
I really liked this design, and also I didn’t own any plates (bc bowls are awesome), so I made this! It was a lot of fun lol!
Turtle Moon and Back
I’ve been listing to “Turtles all the Way Down” on audio book from the library, and as someone with OCD who has avoiding reading the book for a long time, I have found it absolutely wonderful, hilarious, relatable, and just deeply enjoyable. The title reminded me of the space turtle episode of dear Hank and John, which I always see in my head as a turtle hugging the moon.
