self-awareness check, list five things you like that aren't media pieces in the tags now ‼️

They could never make me hate you, complex female character whose reaction to trauma was not pretty and digestible like how people think it should be.

truly an honor and a privilege getting to witness everyone's first time in public ever every single time i go grocery shopping

I'm trying my best okay

uh, source?

i fucking hate my neighbour. he lives in a gnarled wizard tower which is fine but theres always a flurry of bats flitting around. the amount of times they fly into my god damn windows like its actually so fucking annoying. i guess he makes and sells potions for a living but his potion waste is ruining our fucking pipes. and then theres the frequent claps of dramatic thunder and lightning which send my poor dog mental. i can always hear maniacal laughter and he keeps summoning skeleton armies which absolutely ruin my lawn when they rise from the earth. its just so fucking inconsiderate man.

everyone keeps forgetting that feminism is primarily about women smoking as much weed as possible. like don't let capitalist pop-feminism distract you from this

only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for

there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs

I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows

happy world frog day, 50 frogs to go until we hit 8,000 species described!!

@markscherz

There is a small but real chance I will get to Do The Thing. Watch this space.

For clarity: it is a question of timing and luck, and is out of my hands. My coauthors and I have something like 15 new species under review or in press right now, but so do at least a dozen other teams of amphibian taxonomists, I’m sure. I did have the honour of describing the 8000th amphibian species added to Amphibian Species of the World back in 2019 (it was Anodonthyla eximia). It seems almost too much to ask that I would have the luck to describe the 8000th frog, too!

If I was a cat I'd make the mrrrp? sound all the fucking time.
