cryptotheism:

Apparently there’s now a Christian version of the Ouija Board? That apparently let’s you “communicate with God” while also getting immediate answers back? Is this just the Urim and Thummim of the Ancient Israelite High Priests? But like, with the most milquetoast Midwestern Protestant aesthetic imaginable?

You know, I’m not Christian, but this feels heretical. Im pretty sure they’re not allowed to do this.

-Really Tiny Isopod Alert-

I keep a few very small isopod species! these guys are Reductoniscus costulatus, the third smallest of my micro isopods. they’re bumpy and eat wood. the Elumoides I have are even smaller at adult size:

(Reductoniscus costulatus & Elumoides sp. “Miami”)

the largest costulatus is an adult, and the Elumoides is a real whopper of a female. they don’t get larger than that!

interestingly, I think the two families they belong to (Armadillidae, Eubelidae) convergently evolved the ability to roll into a ball for protection.
