Tiny Reptile of the Day: Found on an islet just off of Madagascar’s main island, the Brookesia micra — or Madagascar Miniature Chameleon — is one of the smallest vertebrates ever discovered.

According to Frank Glaw, who led the team of scientist responsible for the diminutive reptile’s discovery, the adult B. micra is scarcely larger than half an inch from nose to bottom.

“Maybe there’s a potential for a smaller species,” says Glaw, who is returning to Madagascar this November to seek out new species. “I’m sure there are many surprises awaiting discovery.”

potentially horrible life decision 

I’m going to rewatch Reichenbach. If it keeps lurking over my head like this, I will go crazy.

Edit: It went okay. Still cried. Less of a breakdown though. And I have more theories now on how it was done.

That awkward moment when 

your accidental Genius playlist of musical numbers ends up being exactly about your life right now:

“Purpose”, Avenue Q

“What You Want”, Legally Blonde

“Louder than Words”, tick, tick, BOOM!

“It Won’t Be Long Now”, In The Heights

“Forget about the Boy”, Thoroughly Modern Millie

“I Wish I Could Go Back to College”, Avenue Q

I woke up this morning to the immediate thought of, But what if it doesn’t all work out? What if the jobs don’t come in? What if you start watching TV shows at home and you just never stop and you become a bum who lives at home forever and everyone will shake their heads sadly when they look at you and think, Man, that girl had so much potential but look at her now? 

That kind of wake-up thought can really fuck with your day.
