Photo of five shorthaired colorpoint kittens in a carrier.

Photo of many cats in carriers loaded into the back of a van.

Last week our local humane society took in 28 cats from a woman who had gotten in over her head with too many litters. They require a lot of care to get them healthy and adoptable - please consider a donation if you can! www.hsccvt.org/donate

This is a photo of an unusual brown, toothy mushroom. The camera angle is looking up at the underside of the cap from below. Its stipe is fuzzy, or even spiky, and brown. The underside of the cap is made up of 100 or so tiny white, slightly rounded teeth. The edge of the cap is covered in the same tiny brown spiky fuzz.

Like an alien-looking shower head, the Cone Tooth Fungus, Auriscalpium vulgare, is a favorite mushroom of mine

A small, very moisty, olive-green toad! They have many widely spaced warty bumps but otherwise look smooth skinned!

Our friend the Dodson's Toad lives in several countries in northeastern Africa! During dry seasons they are known to aestivate for long periods in deep fissures in rocks! Aestivation is like hibernation in warm weather! (photo by Paul Block)

I probably won't have time to play today, but I can't wait for them to kiss~

Failing to wear headphones when you’re listening to something in public is a genuine moral failing

i believe in open borders with no caveats. no “they can come if they do it the right way”. anyone who arrives can stay, period. the united states had completely unrestricted borders until 1875, and you’ll recognize that most immigrants who arrived before that year came from northern/western europe

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

a small frog on a tree branch, its mouth wide open as though it is absolutely delighted to see you

Does he think this makes him look… good?

Peaky Blinders meme: No fighting with regime-run accounts. No fucking fighting with regime-run accounts!

A very stout yellow-green toad with rough skin covered in bumps speckled in tiny black spots! They have large parotoid glands that form behind their eye and run down behind their visible eardrum!

Our friend Rhinella veredas is named after the Grande Sertão Veredas National Park where they live, which itself is named after the novel Grande Sertão: Veredas by Brazilian author João Guimarães Rosa! (photo by Reuber Brandão)

Are they... trying to gentrify index cards?

…Oh, *buddy*

You're writing this down right? Good. As I was saying my car sucked so bad my wife left me. Yes I can spell my name for you.

So the plan is to save money by… making people spend more on gas?

A somewhat slender brown toad with a wide black band running across their large face! They also have black stripes on their legs! They have rough looking skin, but not many large bumps!

Our friend the Chinting Lazy Toad is a rare toad also known as the Chinting Alpine Toad! They are only known to live around Mount Emei in the Sichuan Province of China! (photo by haitongyu)

And nice. The Fuck Your Feelings crowd gets REALLY upset if you think less of them for wishing ill on your loved ones.

To be fair, conkers are similar to Labubus in that they are both physical objects that exist

It's true that you should look beyond The Classics Of The Western Canon, but you don't need to overcorrect by dismissing them altogether. They're weirder and more entertaining than you think.

Taking a swipe at the white gamer bros who support the Republican party is an interesting choice.

But, while we're here, Medicaid is intened for people who CAN'T AFFORD PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE. What you do, or don't do, SHOULDN'T MATTER when it comes to getting health care.

This will be the hill I die on, “porn addiction” is not real, that phrase specifically is used as a dog whistle and is backed only by pseudoscience which has been created by right wing fascist organisations with the intention to demonise minorities. It is not real, actual science proves it isn’t.

A good quarter of my local march was literal little old ladies with protest signs taped to their walkers.

A two panel screenshot from The Good Place where Janet is speaking to Chidi while Michael stands behind her. In the first panel she's holding up a finger, grinning, and saying, "Fun fact: Columbus in the Bad Place" In the second panel she's saying, "Because of all the raping, slave trade, and genocide."

oh is it monday

Uh huh. And is this marvelous fission plant going to generate *water*? You, know, the thing that humans need to survive? Which the moon mostly doesn’t have?

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

A dark greenish brown toad, mottled with black spots! They are carrying a clutch of dark eggs between their hind legs!

Our friend the Catalonian Midwife Toad was first described as a new species in 2021 when it was separated from the Common Midwife Toad! Like other midwife toads, the male protects the eggs by carrying them until they hatch! (photo by Léo Souillard)

Why is she wearing a lettuce costume

A large and beautiful pinkish-red mushroom grows out of a thick bed of pine needles. Its stipe and cap are the same pretty color. The gills are slightly separated and appear almost page-like, which is common for Russula species, as far as I've observed.

Russula rhodocephala, the Redhead Russula, is likely what this is. There are so many Russula species. I'm almost never 100% sure!
