people making all these nitpicks about Harry Potter canon and my only question is why didn’t we see people Cumberbatching Voldemort instead of calling him You Know Who like

“Oh no, it’s Moldywarts!”

“But we have to be careful because Toadybloat’s followers might hear”

“Ah yes the great and powerful Haggisplate”

“Refusal to say a name gives that name power, Harry.  But mutilating the hell out of it to the point that people can’t take it seriously anymore strips that power away.”

I don’t know what’s funnier, the fact that cumberbatching is now a thing or “Moldywarts”

Got to do some reptile education for one of Brett’s friends family! The mom was super nice, and used to have a ball python of her own! The kids were so sweet and so excited to learn as well. I taught them about morphs, species, how big they all get, etc. Tali got some practice being an ambassador snake as well! Her personality is shaping up to be excellent for this.

The kid’s face in the first photo, though!

A little oak toad [Anaxyrus quercicus] floats like a cork in a lake in Everglades National Park, Florida. Oak toads are the smallest species of toad in North America, averaging out at just 1 inch long. They flock to shallow lakes like these in the spring in order to breed; one pair can produce an average of 300-500 eggs, which wrap like string around vegetation and hatch in a matter of days.
