There's some good frog activity tonight. I know it's night time but this is the #rupertsbackyardtoday for today. This tadpole frogged up real good. Deal with the blurry pic. It's nighttime. Pretty sure this is Mom and Pop. This little buddy is LOUD. Offspring of LoudBoi starting his frog up journey with some little leggies. Bonus daytime shot of my blurry buddy from the first pic so you can see how bitty he is.

Okay, revision. They are now doing fart soundboards at each other during dinner. View quoted note →

The future is fun. My 10 year old and his 9 year old cousin are playing games he vibe coded on his vibe coded website while talking to each other in his private cornychat.com room.

Am I the only one using satellite.earth that hasn't been able to access their files for literal weeks now? I've tagged the dev but he hasn't posted in weeks either. Is it an abandoned project? Is he okay? I just want to to have my pfp. :(

A question for other parents: Does your child also seem to think that knowing they have to do something precludes them from actually doing it? Example: Me: Hey, kiddo. You need to get up and her dressed regardless of which parent you're going with this morning. *3-5 minutes later* @Kajoozie Maflingo : Hey, bud. Gotta get up and get dressed regardless of which parent you're going with. Jr (still in his bed, clearly exasperated with his nagging parents) : I know! Mom already told me. *doesn't move*

A while back we had a small group of folks meeting weekly on cornychat.com to read together. It was fun and I miss it. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and I think I'm going to try to bring it back. I personally really enjoy being "the reader" so I'll start off that way. I'll be starting next Thursday, I think around 8 pm CST. I'll post the room link that day as well.

A quick #rupertsbackyardtoday before I rush off... Mexican petunia, first bud of the year! New growth on the sago is always a joy. The fronds are so soft and fuzzy. Idk what these fellas are but they started showing up after I had a fly trap full of flies explode here one summer. I tried a couple filters to get the vibrance of this color and failed. I've never seen a vibrant burgundy. So, I took a close up to show the velvetiness (that's a word) of the petals. I took the same picture twice but shifted the focus for this cool little orb weaver. @oshi, I feel like you'll like this bb after your morning adventure. Trumpet flower buds (look like booholes) and the flower, hummingbirbs love these. I wish I could share the smell of these with y'all. If you look on the right, you'll see my regal shields starting to come up. And, last but not least, a wild petunia NOT being cultivated in a bed by yours truly but definitely thriving.

GM! Just some general advice to avoid trauma: if you encounter a mama wolf spider, leave her alone. A very large spider that explodes hundreds of miniature copies of itself is not a thing you want to deal with. #rupertsrationaladvice
