This extremely nice frog is a water holding frog [Cyclorana platycephala]. A stout little burrower, these frogs conserve moisture by surrounding themselves in a “cocoon” of bodily secretions in order to wait out long dry periods. The Australian Aborigines found this ability to be very useful, and would uproot the frogs to gently squeeze them and drink their urine, which is mostly just water. This specimen was not uprooted for its pee, but rather encountered naturally by photographer Stephen Zozaya in Farrars Channels, Queensland.
daisy ridley is living with her makeup artist gal pal in a cabin in the canadian wilderness making vegan pancakes this sounds like a shitpost but its something i read with my two gay eyes
For those curious, the relevant bit from the Vogue article:
The last time I speak to Ridley, she’s calling from a car on her way back to the Canadian wilderness. She and her friend Flora Moody had taken a break from filming Chaos Walking and gone to hear Star Wars composer John Williams perform at the Hollywood Bowl. “They did my theme,” Ridley says, meaning “Rey’s Theme” from The Force Awakens, “and I couldn’t believe it. It was very overwhelming. There was an older woman behind us and she was like, ‘Why are people mobbing you?’ ”
Ridley and Moody became friends when Moody did Ridley’s hair and makeup for The Last Jedi, and they have since worked together on Ophelia and Chaos Walking. For a couple of months, they’re sharing a “very comfy but very creepy” cabin in the woods, making questionable almond-milk pancakes and listening out for shotguns.
