“That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you’re not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong.”
F. Scott Fitzgerald

Why the blue tongue? For this reptile, it’s a form of self defense! Meet the blue-tongued skink (Tiliqua scincoides). Found in Australia and New Guinea, this lizard can reach lengths of nearly 2 ft (61 cm). Its body is covered in overlapping scales, supported by bony plates called osteoderms, which protect it from predators. But when faced with persistent foes, the blue-tongued skink has another defense: It will open its mouth, hiss, and reveal a bold blue tongue—startling foes with a flash of vibrant color.

Republicans are garbage.
If you’re wondering why this is especially catastrophic aside from the the obvious (wetlands, weather patterns, etc): there is a layer of ARSENIC (yes FUCKING ARNSENIC) on the bottom of the Great Salt Lake since it doesn’t drain and is like a collection pool of minerals, thus the salt. When the lake fully dried up, on windy days, arsenic will be blown all over the residents of the Wasatch Front, a region of 2.6 million, which is 79% of Utah’s population. Can’t wait to breathe arsenic and whatever the fuck else is at the bottom of the GSL 💕 thanks Republican law makers!!!! At least I can’t get an abortion or attend a drag show :)
