I… do not understand tumblr live. Like, are there actually only about 50 people streaming across the whole platform at any one time? And why are so many of them just… people smoking? Or unoccupied desks? And why is nobody talking about frogs?

Got to work on a cool project. This shop out in NC designed a process to rapidly prototype and provide custom fit for irregularly shaped objects in semi rigid foam. Leather, Velvet, suede, and felt coatings available.

This one was for a firearms client. They were incredibly satisfied with the result, and this cost a fraction of the typical cost for a project of this type.

Why do so many porn bots randomly follow me?

Like dawg I'm trying to live my best life and not be exposed to that type of content. :(

The only NSFW content I wanna see are Newts, Salamanders, Frogs, and Water dwelling semi aquatic terrestrial creatures.

The Tres Hombres is the only trans-Atlantic sailing freighter without a motor! She is the flagship of Fairtransport and the sailing ambassador for cleaner sea transport.

And here are some shots of her unloading a sustainably sourced cargo (coffee, possibly cacao, though there's also rum in her hold I think):

A story, in parts.

Hi. I wanted to drop by to say I just read your paper "Diamond frogs forever". What a cutie! Do you know if there has been any additional work on this species? The discussion on the inguinal markings was very interesting and I'd love to know more.

Thanks for giving me an excuse to talk about the frog I named after my wife!

For the uninitiated, this is Rhombophryne ellae, Ella's Diamond Frog, which I dedicated to my then-fiancé in 2020, in celebration of her completing her PhD. Ella was with me in the field in northern Madagascar (in the midst of Cyclone Ava, which was less than optimal for her first field experience) when we discovered this little frog. I believe we evacuated the forest just two days after this discovery. You can read a little more about the story here.

There has indeed been a little additional work done on this species, namely by me, but I am still in the process of writing it up, together with colleagues. Since the publication, we have managed to track down additional specimens of R. ellae that already existed in museum collections, but had been misidentified as juveniles of the much larger R. laevipes. So, we will be substantially increasing knowledge of the variability of the species. We are also going to be describing the sister species to it, which looks very similar, and actually has basically the same inguinal eye spot markings. More on this when the paper is published, which I hope will be next year.
