Herpsky, any thoughts on who this dangernoodle might be?

Here is your #FridayFrog. I saw several of these big, common frogs in Costa Rica. Leptodactylus sp., I think Savage's Thin-toed Frog, Leptodactylus savagei. Shot at ISO 64 for maximum dynamic range, with weak diffused fill flash so that the pale, shiny highlights wouldn't be overexposed. 🐸📷 #frogs

Why can’t we just digitize the clothes, while we’re at it? (I’m sleep deprived and everything is annoying)

At that stage of sleep-deprived tired where I'm wiggling in place and snacking a lot at work, because otherwise I'm going to doze off.

Actually one of my favorite scientists. His writings are marvelous. He had such a sense of wonder and discovery that shines through into his writings. Highly recommend "Humboldt's Cosmos" as a primer, which I may reread next

This is very interesting work. It's worth noting that Bill Gartner of UW Madison Geography has been studying and mapping raised beds like this across Wisconsin for decades. He has also done lots of work with the College of the Menominee Nation on reconstruction of ancient agricultural sites.

Our friend the Large-crested Toad lives in Guatemala and southern Mexico! They are a rare species known for the crests on their head, but like other members of genus Incilius they have tiny little golden toes! (photo by Chris Gruenwald Herp.mx)

If you want insects to survive, you need to let dirt, dead wood and leaves, and "messy" gardens develop. These are essential to their life cycles.

not to be all "no true scotsman" about this but there's a deep current in american evangelicalism that is literally *not* christian

Hot Pockets Toaster Breaks Pizza (1998-circa 2000): A line of rectangular, crispy golden pastry pockets, filled with tomato sauce and cheese, with optional pepperoni, made to be cooked in a toaster. Probably most memorable for the commercial in which a mom stuffed an entire pizza pie into a toaster

A thread about stories, community, how people share, what happens when you hoard, and long-term history. Lovely.

The wizard is walking to town. He sees a lichen and admires it.

Video: a white wolf rolling and squirming into the surface of a tractor tire stuffed with foam, where there's a bunch of shredded paper scattered.

Adorable little brown bird with a sassy tail. Shaped like a decorative springtime ornament, but with a very businesslike countenance.

Everybody shutup and look at my unicorn #junicorn

The ex-paladin comes by with egg and artichoke empanadas from the baker for lunch. They eat them in the garden. The wizard gets crumbs on his cheeks and the ex-paladin gently brushes them off.

Designers have disabilities too and design tools should be accessible.

This might be the absolute greatest reply we have ever received. Thank you, Cookie Monster 📕🍪💙

This is the same professor who brought in bouncy rubber eyeballs on the day we were going to talk about a famous painting of St. Lucia

Unpopular opinion: NYC needs fewer parks not more if it won’t also increase overall maintenance dollars. This mayor broke a campaign promise to increase parks funding to 1% of the city budget, meaning these new sites will take scant resources away from existing parks. gothamist.com/news/nyc-wan...

rip autotune the news you would have so much material today

No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.

I really love the Yellow-faced Grassquits. They're small little seedeaters that you can find on the side of the road throughout most of Costa Rica. #birds #nature #costarica

Our friend the Houston Toad is no longer found near Houston because of habitat loss caused by drought and human development. The largest population of this endangered species is located over a hundred miles away in Bastrop State Park! (photo by John Williams)
