Often find #frogs in the water reservoir on top of my Greenstalk planter. This one had its own surfboard, Cowabunga dude.

The Alaskan wood frog freezes solid in winter with no heartbeat, no blood flow, or no breathing, and then thaws in spring alive as if nothing happened.

Once tadpoles lose lungs, they never get them back https://phys.org/news/2025-10-tadpoles-lungs.html https://academic.oup.com/evolut/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/evolut/qpaf192/8296690
"all #frogs have lungs, so #tadpoles retain the genetics to regain lungs when environmental pressures might favor having them but instead evolve alternate solutions... The lungless African red #toad lives in low oxygen waters, and while redeveloping lungs might seem like the obvious solution, these tadpoles have instead evolved a crest of vascularized skin on top of their heads"

Lots of pictures of frogs and other creatures coming from Portland, USA, recently.
Apart from the fun, lots of esteem and respect for those activists using their bodies and creativity to take the mask off politicians, who cry about supposed violence and crime in the streets to legitimate violent repression of protests.
Non-violence done perfectly!

I've seen an AI parody of the Obama "Hope" poster going around featuring #PortlandFrog and I decided that I should make a non-AI version (left). This is also under #cc0 ( #publicdomain ) so feel free to use it however you wish.

Trump admin lies about #ICE being attacked, so they can be the victim.
The Technique is called DARVO
(Deny Attack Reverse Victim & Offender)
But when people see that the "attackers" are people in frog costumes, it visually destroys the lie.
This means us sharing our silly protests on social media is REALLY important.
