The energy meter saga continues. Someone's just turned up at my house unannounced to take a photo of my meter reading. He says he's with the energy company. I don't let him in but the meter is above my head by the door so he just sticks his phone out and takes it and leaves. Anyways he's not gonna get very far with it because the display has been stuck for 6 months which means I can't give accurate readings. The energy company are fully aware of this lmao. They've been harassing me with emails about sending off my readings the past few weeks. BRO YOU KNOW I CAN'T. LITERALLY JUST SCROLL UP THE EMAIL THREAD YOU WROTE IT YOURSELF

Just reading a book all about ethnozoology of reptiles and amphibians and jesus christ Europeans hated frogs so much, calm down they're just little animals goddamn

Linneus is the biggest bitch regarding this with his whole screed against reptiles calling them foul etc. etc. but what's funniest about it is when he says that reptiles and amphibians are so awful "the Creator did not make many of them" well Carlitos that's because you lived in stupid Sweden which has three species of lizards at most, come down to the Amazon see the hundreds of poison dart frogs and tell me that the Creator hated them

I don't remember where I heard this anecdote, I think it was from a professor that was in exchange in Brazil, but there were a couple British herpetologists who came to Manaus and got a guided visit, in a short walk they saw like 45 (or something like that) different species of frogs and they were amazed and the Brazilian herpetologists were like "oh too bad you came in the dry season usually we find like 70 or 80 species"

There are only two native frog species in Great Britain btw

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔
