Nerdy but probably not as nerdy as you. Dad to a cute kid. Husband to a cute wife. Good at a lot of things. Toad enthusiast who runs @toadfacts.
I think it's kind of neat that, if you're lucky enough to find one in their catalog, you can officially name a toad after someone just by making a totally reasonable donation to a non-profit organization.
Seems like that's something you could crowdfund pretty easily *stares at camera*

I love Spadefoots because they always look like they've seen something shocking. Every time I see one, I think of this photo.

Okay, I went back out tonight with a clearer sky and the knowledge that I gained last night and took what I think is a much better picture of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon).
I'm quite happy with this one.

I finally had the opportunity to take a few minutes at dusk and run down the road to a nearby field with an unobstructed western view to see if I could get a photo of Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon). This is an okay shot, but I might try again soon if I get the chance.

Had a bit of time before cloud cover rolled in tonight, so I grabbed a few shots of the moon and the Triangulum Galaxy. The Triangulum Galaxy is the third largest galaxy in our Local Group, after the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way.

My lovely @chieflotsahair.bsky.social runs all three Wine and Dine races at Disney World every year and we tend to go a little overboard with the costume for the 5K. This year's 5K theme was Mushu's Breakfast, so her costume was Mushu (Mulan, 1998) wearing the Great Stone Dragon's head as a hat.

Seconded.
Not that they'll see this but, any election campaign ads that have that "A.I." look will keep me from voting for whoever made them.

Seconded.
Today’s Apple Discourse from @chuckwendig.bsky.social’s reviews reminds me that my mom went on vacation recently and brought me some apples from an orchard in GA because she knew I wanted to try apples I couldn’t get locally. Alas, she forgot what variety they are so I have no idea.

I also took a picture of the Harvest moon tonight. I gotta be honest though, I think i prefer the one I got last Thursday.

I feel like every time Hegseth makes some kind of new policy announcement, I should just ask myself "is this based in racism somehow?" and then smack myself in the head because of course it's based in racism somehow.
With his ban on military shaving waivers, Pete Hegseth knows damn well who he’s pushing out: Black troops.
If only Pete Hegseth's military shaving crusade was just stupid

I'm excited about Bad Bunny headlining the Super Bowl half time show, but mainly because I enjoyed how his latest album helped increase attention for the critically endangered Puerto Rican Crested Toad, aka Sapo Concho.

I know I’ve been playing maybe a little too much Borderlands 4 because I saw this and mentally reached for the “take as junk” button.

We're in that period a few days before a new iPhone release when older iPhones suddenly start having mysterious issues such as being completely unable to connect to WiFi, apparently.

I think the really interesting thing about the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement is that the president of the United States was best friends with an infamous pedophile who died in prison under mysterious circumstances and had papers which seem to implicate said president.

I didn't know there was a launch tonight, so I'm sitting here at my desk and the sonic boom from the SpaceX launch scared the bejeezus out of me.

It’s shitty to have to sit through active shooter training as a teacher.
It’s shittier having to train an elementary aged class how to sit through and active shooter drill.
The shittiest of all is having your 6 year old too scared to sleep because he had to sit through that training today.
