Pastaza Marsupial Frog (Gastrotheca longipes), female, family Hemiphractidae, Yasuni National Park, Ecuador

The females have a pouch, with an entrance at the rear of the back, in which she keeps the eggs. The young go through their tadpole stage in the pouch, and emerge as froglets.

you grit your teeth and manage to send an important text. and what happens? the person actually responds. so now you have to brace yourself and do it all over again PLUS you have to bring yourself to read the response first too. it never ends.

I am the exact opposite of this. Every time I have an exam I walk in calm and collected and ready. By the time I walk out I'm OH MY GOD!!! NO NO NO NO I AM FINISHED I AM DONE FOR!!! Then when it gets graded it turns out everything was fine and even if I didn't do well it's not the end of the world. Then I too never learn anything from this.

i swear every time i have an exam i'm like OH DEAR GOD!!! OH NO!!!!! OH SWEET BABY JESUS!!!! THIS IS IT!!!! I'M TOAST!!!!!! and then i take the exam i and walk out like. okay that wasn't so bad, and even if it was bad, it wouldn't have been the end of the world. and then i never learn anything from this

The nuns who took care of the building are thrilled that skaters saved the church. They even let the skaters push them around on the skateboards.

“I know I’ve told this story before, but my abusive ex refused to let me take birth control. I was on the pill until he found them in my purse. I went to the Student Health Center—they were completely unhelpful, choosing to lecture me about the importance of safe sex (recommending condoms) instead of actually listening to my problem. Then I went to Planned Parenthood. The Nurse Practitioner took one look at my fading bruises and stopped the exam. She called in the doctor. The doctor came in and simply asked me: “Are you ready to leave him?” When I denied that I was being abused, she didn’t argue with me. She just asked me what I needed. I said I need a birth control method that my boyfriend couldn’t detect. She recommended a few options and we decided on Depo. When I told her that my boyfriend read my emails and listened to my phone messages and was known to follow me, she suggested to do the Depo injections at off hours when the clinic was normally closed. She made a note in my chart and instructed the front desk never to leave messages for me—instead, she programmed her personal cell phone number into my phone under the name “Nora”. She told me she would call me to schedule my appointments; she wouldn’t leave a message, but I should call her back when I was able to. And that was it. No judgment. No lecture. She walked me to the door and told me to call her day or night if I needed anything. That she lived 5 blocks from campus and would come get me. That I wasn’t alone. That she just wanted me to be safe. I never called her to come to my rescue. But I have no doubt that she would have come if I had called. She kept me on Depo for a year, giving me those monthly injections in secret, helping me prevent a desperately unwanted pregnancy. I cannot thank Planned Parenthood enough for the work they do.”

I know I’ve reblogged this before, but it bears re-reblogging (?).  This is how you respond to abuse, this is how you give people control over their bodies/uteruses, this is how you act as a generally non-judgmental and compassionate person.  I love this story so fucking much.
