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 believe in open borders with no caveats. no β€œthey 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

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!

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, β€œporn 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 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."

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!
