Frogs are a bellwether, their presence or absence is reflective of the health of the environment around them.
A frog is as good as a symbol of the resistance as anything.They’re cool, and who the fuck doesn’t like frogs?

I think we should get as many people as possible to Google, “which streaming services does Disney own?” and make it become the trending search to scare the shit out of them. Pass it on!

I fear kids today may never be able to enjoy the freedom I have enjoyed in my life, albeit imperfect.
I lament that an old warrior who stormed the beach, and fought fascism closes their eyes for the last time,fearful for our liberty. Let’s not let this happen.
