#This is the representation I’ve been looking for
The representation we need.
“Ghosts are real” I can see how you could believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real” it’s very fair and rational that you believe that
“Ghosts aren’t real anymore” I’m about to hear a poem or very sad story
“Ghosts aren’t real yet” the fuck are you going to do
After 17 years in captivity, Panama’s golden frogs are being reintroduced to the wild following devastating losses from chytrid fungus.
From the article:
For the first time in nearly two decades, Panama’s forest streams are once again home to flashes of bright yellow. The Panamanian golden frog (Atelopus zeteki) is being reintroduced to the wild 17 years after a fungal epidemic wiped it out in its native habitat. The return follows years of captive breeding, disease research, and carefully staged release trials aimed at navigating one of the most destructive wildlife pathogens ever recorded. [...] The golden frog is not the only species benefiting from these efforts. In the past year, PARC successfully reintroduced three additional species: the crowned tree frog (Tripion spinosus), Pratt’s rocket frog (Colostethus pratti), and the lemur leaf frog (Agalychnis lemur). Each release contributes to a growing body of knowledge about amphibian conservation in the age of chytrid fungus.
I teared up hearing this news. As someone deeply enmeshed in reptile and amphibian conservation for my entire adult life, the terror of chytrid has always loomed large. I have a close friend who is currently researching it, we talk about its conservation impacts frequently.
Golden frogs have been the poster child for chytrid extinction for so long. I remember always looking out for them at conservation facilities and thinking "this species literally only exists because we refused to just let them go extinct". To know that some of them are back in the wild already is overwhelming. Though I know we have made huge leaps in our understanding of chytrid, it is such a vicious disease that I don't think I was even sure I would live to see golden frogs return to Panama.
This reintroduction effort has not been without setbacks, but that it is happening at all, that we are finding ways to put pockets of golden frogs back in places the fungus can't reach them, that we have stable enough populations in human care to even risk it, is amazing.

You elected him to protect girls. What evil.
Even sheep will turn and fight a predator when cornered and/or to protect their lambs.
I trust TDump supporters to do neither.
If someone flinches or looks uncomfortable when you swear, or even directly says they feel uncomfortable and don't like it when you swear, be respectful of this. Don't mock or tease them, or judge them assuming they're a sheltered goody two shoes.
It is, after all, an awfully childish mindset to assume that swearing makes you cooler, tougher, or more grown up than people who don't.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that for many people and in many places, swearing is often associated with being an expression of irritation, anger, or even aggression. For some people, and in some places, that connection of associating swearing with anger or aggression is stronger than for other people or places.
Especially if someone has endured a lot of verbal abuse, and during the verbal abuse swearing was used a lot as an expression of anger and hostility towards them, they could find swearing uncomfortable or upsetting because of that association with the verbal abuse more so than someone without the same experiences.
If you can understand why someone can be uncomfortable with shouting or door slamming or other expressions of anger or aggression, then hopefully you can understand why people who associate swearing with anger and aggression would also be uncomfortable with swearing.
And it's not necessarily a bad thing if a person or culture designates certain words as expressions of irritation / anger / aggression / hostility, especially if that means some people might be more likely to just use their words to express strong negative feelings, rather than feeling like they have to resort to displays of physical aggression to express how angry or upset they feel.
Some cultures have designated some words as having a "stronger" meaning than others specifically so we can express the magnitude of a situation, or our feelings, when need be.
And of course this doesn't mean that you're not allowed to swear when you're in the company of others who you know feel the same way about swearing as you, go ahead and cuss your heart out when you're among people who are comfortable with it. Just be polite and respectful if you're in the company of someone who isn't as comfortable with swearing as you.
Here is a quick reading comprehension check based on several replies I've gotten to this post.
In the second paragraph where I say "It is, after all, an awfully childish mindset to assume that swearing makes you cooler, tougher, or more grown up than people who don't." am I:
A) Saying that everyone who swears is childish and the only possible motivation anyone who swears has is to try to be cooler and tougher looking?
or
B) Strictly talking about people who are mean and judgemental towards people who are uncomfortable with swearing?
Go ahead and take your time :)
Since this level of reading comprehension is apparently so hard for some of the people I've gotten in the notes of this post, here's a hint: IRL outside of this blog when I'm in the company of friends and family who I know are comfortable with it I probably say the F word every other word.
For more context on why I feel strongly about this, I actually live in a country where there is little to no stigma against swearing. There's no censorship laws so you hear uncensored f bombs on the radio, and it's not uncommon to hear little kids as young as 4 or 5 dropping f bombs on the kindergarten playground and nobody batting an eye at that.
The reason I still defend people who are uncomfortable with swearing is because I feel like where I live this often ends up being a source of smug cultural superiority, a lot of locals look down on immigrants who are uncomfortable with swearing, using that as proof for why people from here are culturally superior to and more grown up than immigrants, and vice versa why immigrants are culturally inferior and just stupid silly overgrown children.
People from here are so eager to pat themselves on the back and tout themselves as culturally and morally superior because swearing isn't stigmatized here unlike with those "stupid backwards and culturally inferior immigrants" and it feels like an issue of cultural insensitivity and unwillingness to consider why some cultures might be more uncomfortable with swearing than others.
So I have had ..... a few people send me links to this post. I mean, I follow @dailymanners , so I was going to see this.
And ya'll. Ya'll. Ya'll! But especially to the person (people?) who thought I'd be upset or angry over this?
This is why I have the content warning. I KNOW some folks aren't interested in hearing my voice fire off multiple expletives in a single sentence.
I want people to make an informed decision about what they are up for each and every time they listen to an episode of Spinning on 2 Wheels.
Kindness isn't censorship, it is a conscious choice that makes living on a planet with 8 billion other primates slightly more tolerable for all of us.

Several years ago I briefly worked in the warehouse of a nondescript extremely large e-commerce company. I had no other options for employment but desperately needed money. Turnover was like 150%. I worked from something like 7pm to 5am, my commute was 50 minutes each way and before I got paid I didn’t even have the cash for enough gas to get home one night and had to bum $10 off of my kid sibling (this is all to give you an idea of my abysmal mental state while employed here.) You’re not allowed to do anything besides your job, no music or anything and they track your movement on cameras so you can’t even take a breather. The job is real monotonous, you get sent boxes of items of random sizes and you have to put the items into shelves of varying sizes and the shelves come to you, you don’t walk to them. Because the company tracks the rate at which you put items on these shelves, many small items are desirable because you can put a lot of them in quickly. Everything about the place seems almost designed intentionally to break you mentally and turn you into a robot. So I’m about 6 or 7 hours into my shift, feeling on the verge of a mental collapse, and up comes a container with a bunch of small white boxes, bout half the size of a deck of cards. No labels. Great, I’m already happy about whatever these things are. So I go to scan them in, and it gives you the name of the item and a little picture. Sasuke Penis Costume. What? Sasuke Penis Costume. A picture of that red cloud robe from Naruto and one of the headbands with the metal plate on it. I’m thinking, there’s no way. What is a penis costume? Am I hallucinating this? And there’s so many of them, literally about a hundred, and I know I’m going to be spending at least an hour with Sasuke Penis Costume, there’s so many and they’re so small, I’m already excited about the potential efficiency of these, and then I see it’s Sasuke Penis Costume? So the entire shift I’m like, trying to not put these things away too quick, because honestly I’m starting to build a kind of kinship with them. This is quite literally the most exciting thing to happen to me during my whole 2 week employment at the warehouse. I started to see Sasuke Penis Costume as a friend, some reminder of the outside world, a reminder of the humanity I was becoming so unfamiliar with, a reminder the world contained comedy, art, anime, and penis. I really couldn’t tell you if I ended up putting all of them away, the last thing I remember is my desperate need to look these items up when I got home. I needed a link to send to my friends for when I told them this riveting story. I learned that the costume is called the Akatsuki cloak in my fervent search for the item, and wouldn’t you know it, absolutely zero trace of these things exists online. Not on the e-commerce website, not on any specialized penis-costume websites (whose existence I was not privvy to prior to this incident) and no third-party retailer has these. Not even Google images will show me the hypothetical existence of Sasuke Penis Costume. Every few months I look it up, trying to find evidence that it can be bought, that any of this was ever real. My bond, my friendship, and dare I say even love for Sasuke Penis Costume feels as tangible as the boxes they came in, and yet the universe will give me no closure of their fate. Less and less frequently I search for them, each time becoming more and more discouraged that I will ever find them, but unlike their substance on this earth, one thing is inarguably certain. Sasuke Penis Costume exists to me, and it will live on firmly and resolutely within my memory and within my heart.
OP was it this?
WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS @beemovieerotica
akatsuki robe for a 1/12 scale figurine, about 15 cm, fits a large penis or a small sasuke
I’m wondering if there is any language in which “uchida” or a similar word translates to penis because that would make a lot of sense
It’s probably “chinchin” (ちんちん) which I could see being a typo for Uchiha (うちは).
Sasuke Penis Costume ending explained
I fucking died at “fits a large penis or a small Sasuke”
This came across my dash JUST as Mr. Kickass and I were sitting down to watch a video of the new anime figure releases for the week.
We were NOY expecting so many Naruto figs to be announced. Alas, none that would fit the Sasuke Penis Costume.
I’m not sure who can help me, but maybe someone can give me insight
I own two cats. Finn and Phoenix.
Both cats are 15 now.
While both have had their fair share of accidents (potty related) Finn seems to be having it worse.
He’s gone from missing the litter box entirely, or just making a mess of the box and himself (his paws)
He’s already a vocal cat, but his meows have gone from his normal loud voice to a more subdued and sad sounding one.
He’s also become more clingy, like if I leave my bedroom to do chores are care for myself he’s sad meowing and following. Jumping into counters (something he rarely does) and acting like I’m gonna leave.
I’m very worried.
If anyone else owns cats and can help me understand it better before I have to consider the vet, I’d be forever grateful
Okay so this is not atypical behaviour for an elderly cat, in fact my own cat Erik is experiencing most of what you described right now
It's normal for elderly cats to get clingy and overly-qffectionate, though I'm not entirely sure why, hence Erik who has hated sitting on laps his whole life has suddenly become a pushy lap cat
As for the toilet troubles, I can't diagnose the exact cause but it's usually down to a decline in working memory or a sudden uptick in general confusion - both things that come with age
Your best bet is to place puddle mats around the area - those are training mats commonly used for puppies or kittens who haven't figured out litter trays yet. It won't be fun to deal with but you can at least minimise any mess or damage being done to the floor
Also praise him heavily when he successfully uses the litter tray, probably with treats, as it may help him to remember or re-learn how to use it
When caring for elderly cats who didn't or couldn't use the full litter box much anymore, we also found that putting the litter in a lower walled container helped.
A jellyroll pan from a thrift store was what we used. The walls are much lower, only about 2.5 cm (1 in) high and Butterscotch could step in and out much more easily.
