Imagine being JD Vance, who makes such a huge part of his personality being catholic. The pope himself takes time to lecture you on compassion then promptly DIES. The pope uses one of his last hours on earth to tell you that you suck at your religion on EASTER. And then DIES. Anyway RIP Pope Francis

some papal facts:

Being a cardinal is not a requirement for the Papacy, as most recently proved by Pope Urban VI in 1378.

Being ordained is not a requirement either, as proved by Pope Leo X in 1513.

Being present for the conclave is also not a requirement, as proved by Pope Adrian VI in 1522.

the papal conclusion:

the other day one of my coworkers halfway referenced the spiders georg post but stopped before he actually reached the spiders georg part. like. I can't be sure that that's what he was doing but one coworker said "yknow. people swallow several spiders every year" and my other coworker said "well that's just- it's not true. it's a- no, you'd wake up" and just. there was a look in his eyes.

“I hate school I’m sorry Malala”- Funny yet poignant. Acknowledges both the difficulty of the task and the fact that doing that task is a privilege. Gives credit to the people who fought for that privilege with a tongue in cheek acknowledgement of the irony of the initial statement

“I’m just a girl I should be home baking bread not doing calculus” - at best historically uninformed at worst leaps decades back in time. Refusal to acknowledge the charged history of education and slights the centuries of women’s labor it took to reach this point

It's the hoppiest day of the year!

World Frog Day!

Here is a tiny frog from one side of the world:

This is Mini mum. That is a 10 euro cent coin.

And here is a tiny frog from the other side of the world:

This is Microhyla nepenthicola. That is a 50 Malasyian sen coin.

Frogs have evolved to extremely reduced body sizes gobsmackingly often. It is one of the coolest things. And basically every time they do this, they become more similar to one another, and also they lose whole structures, like ears, fingers, and toes.

Isn't it marvellous?
