Imagine cursing frogs only for them to show up in your icons forever.

I googled “patron saint of frogs” for a bit and then immediately abandoned the bit because I would so much rather actually talk about St. Ulphia the 8th century hermit who cursed her local frogs for keeping her up at night and making her sleep through church

Her hermitage was located in a marshy wetland, inhabited by frogs whose loud croaking kept her up all night. One day, she was so tired that she slept through when Domitius knocked at her door, and he, thinking she had already gone on ahead, left without her. Legend states that Ulphia placed the frogs in the area around her under interdict as a result of their loud croaking, which kept her awake at nights.
A 19th century hagiographer noted that the frogs in the area around the oratory of Saint Ulphia were, indeed, very quiet. However, if these frogs were taken elsewhere, they became boisterous once again.
At the end of her life, she formed and directed a community of religious women at Amiens.
In iconography, she is depicted as a young nun seated in prayer on a rock with a frog in the pool near her.

I’m reading Rakesfall by @vajra.me. I have no idea what to say it’s about, but I also cannot put it down. Tell me more things about this weird (set of?) world(s?) that I don’t understand!

Sorry, Kate, but she’s not wrong. You are clearly Caffeine Georg and should not have been counter.

As a gay planner, yes. Yes it is. Be gay, do crime, have a planner, eat tacos. The planner is to remind you when taco Tuesday is.

If you're looking for a costume for No Kings Day on October 14th, might I recommend...

The famous frog costume from Portland Oregon. Guaranteed to strike fear in the heart of cowardly ICE agents.

I HAVE ANXIETY. DONKEYS CAN’T JUST SCREAM AT ME LIKE THAT.

I am also laughing, but with love.

Quiara (they/them) @quiara.net · 8h

Exactly. I was honestly stunned when I read the brief description.

Right? How do you even pitch that?

Lying in bed with a cat after a very nice afternoon nap is pretty aces.

A perfect child committing the perfect crime (being adorable while being somewhere she isn’t meant to be….).

A large tabby is mid-meow while lying on her side atop a picnic table style dining room table. She is being very baby.

The same large brown tabby with extra fluff atop the same picnic table style dining room table. She is on her belly with paws before her. She is all sweetness and light, and still not supposed to be up there.
