Have you taken time to appreciate the beauty of brook trout today? 

The brook trout is a great indicator species! They need cold, clear water full of oxygen for a healthy population. If you find a brook trout population, you've found a healthy stream!

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has temporarily granted the Dixie Valley toad [Anaxyrus williamsi] emergency protection under the Endangered Species Act, citing the construction of a geothermal power plant next to the toad’s habitat as a “significant risk to the well-being” of the species.

The toad will be listed as endangered for 240 days, but the federal agency is also proposing to extend the protection longer, according to a statement.

Dixie Valley toads live solely in a 760-acre wetland complex fed by hot springs north of Fallon, Nevada, per the USFWS. Scientists only discovered that these toads are their own species after genetic analyses in 2017. Other threats they face include predation, disease, groundwater pumping and climate change, per the USFWS.

“This decision comes just in the nick of time for the Dixie Valley toads, which are staring down the barrel of extinction,” Patrick Donnelly, Great Basin director at the Center for Biological Diversity, says in a statement. “We’ve been saying for five years that the Dixie Meadows geothermal project could wipe out these tiny toads, and I’m thankful those concerns have been heard.”

The Bureau of Land Management approved the construction of the Dixie Meadows Geothermal Development Project, which includes two power plants, last November. The agency stated that the project would help the state reach renewable energy goals.

A month later, the Center for Biological Diversity and the Fallon Paiute-Shoshone Tribe sued the bureau to halt the project, stating the plants would dry up sacred hot springs and drive the Dixie Valley toad to extinction, per the New York Times’ Christine Chung.

"The United States has repeatedly promised to honor and protect indigenous sacred sites, but then the BLM approved a major construction project nearly on top of our most sacred hot springs. It just feels like more empty words,” Cathy Tuni, Fallon Paiute-Shoshone tribal chairwoman, said in a statement last year.

“Our Creator made the springs with the toad, as a connected whole,” she tells the Times.

In the past 19 years, the USFWS has granted only one other species emergency protection—the Miami blue butterfly in 2011, per the AP.

🟢 The USFWS will be taking comments from the public about extending the toad’s protection beyond 240 days until June 6, 2022. 🟢

EAT THE CARP poster, 1911. Records of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, NARA ID 5710027. Featured in the National Archives exhibit “What’s Cooking Uncle Sam.”

EAT THE CARP! Good for gefilte fish... and more! By Miriam Kleiman, Public Affairs

The US Fish and Wildlife Service's creative and innovative outreach dates back more than a century, as shown in this 1911 "EAT THE CARP!" poster imploring Americans to embrace, fish, and eat the heavily proliferating carp. The poster is a brilliant appeal to turn of the century foodies! (NARA holds millions of records from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Record Group 22, dating back to 1868!)

"Catch the carp; buy the carp, cook the carp properly and eat it. Eat the roe; can the roe. Make carp jelly. Can the fish. Smoke it too."

Need more encouragement? Carp: something for everyone!

For keto fans: "This meat is wholesome and nutritious. It contains as much protein as sirloin steak."

Got GI issues? "It is easily digestible."

For followers - join the pack! "Somebody ate the 43,000,000 pounds of carp. Therefore the carp must be good to eat."

EAT ME! Original caption: "This fish is in trouble. A Big Muddy National Wildlife Refuge (MO) employee holds an Asian carp, (Invasive species), for the camera." Records of the US Fish and Wildlife Service, NARA ID 166692514.

☆ overstimulation if ya squint a lil, milking, breeding, dumbification, passing out, belly bulge (If your not into this, look away!! 👻👻)

☆ short (I think???)

°○☆nsfw under the cut☆○°

You and Francis had a thing. And, fuck, for a minimum wage worker who barely gets any kind of rest at all, he's fucking good at what he does. He's a big fan of milking. Not his job, no, he could rant about how shitty it can be despite not wanting to get a new one (A/N: so real) but he's a fan of milking. Just the other kind of milking.

The first tim you two had sex, he was pretty sheepish about it, yeah. He didn't know if you prefered topping or bottoming so he settled for a handjob. You did the same as well. Until you both got used to each other and realized that he was pretty flexible. He'd do whatever you'd want to do, whatever you had in store, as long as if it wasn't too much for either of you. He loves fucking but he surely isn't a sex devient. Somewhere in the middle. Pliant to whatever you to had planned. But recently, he may or may not have discovered a new kink. Somethig that made his legs flex and his stamina increase and the gooey, warm, and fuzzy gears in his head grind back to life to keep on going. The last time you two had sex, there was now no condom, and he was pounding you into the bed that you swore Isaack would definetely send a formally written complain, persuasive enough for the both of you to not have such intense, hot, steamy sex for the next few months, (He's a reporter after all, have to respect the man informing the people, and he definetely has a way with words).

Humming, groaning, a little against your neck. You swore it was like a kitten, as if he was purring in a way. You pulled his hair as per usual and with a louder grunt his dark brown eyes roll up just a slight and flutter, closing shut as he fills you to the brim with his warm baby batter. Shaking, sweating, and biting his lip when he just keeps on cumming until theres nothing more to give. Or is there?

What he didn't expect, was when you suddenly whispered in the midst of him balls deep inside you,

"Thats it... good boy, you fuckin slut... Cum in me, keep milkin' yourself f'me"

Ah shit, he swore something inside of him just snapped loose. With the way he shivered violently, and as your hand loosened on his sweaty brown hair he moves again. Oh how odd, after a few rounds, the last one being penetration, he's always so tired, opting to give you a handjob or finger you if you didnt get a taste of your climax but shit. If this wasn't hot then what was?!

When you had basically degraded him to milk his balls dry you didn't mean literally, but fuck. This was so appealing, that your little milk boy had his quirks.

You look down at yourself seeing the bulge appearing on your abdoment everytime he thrusts in and god does it make you feel dizzy. Your hard dick, leaking as well just begging to cum while Francis gasps and shudders a little more, oh he looks so dumb. Trying to do as he's told. To keep milking himself. Milking himself for you. Just for motherfucking you. It keeps fuzzy sparks inside of his brain that has him smiling and drooling against your chest.

"Awe, what an adorable little cow you are... Milking your-...yourself for me... Giving me every ounce of that sweet sweet milk of yours, hmm? You wanna give me your milk Francis? You wanna fucking cum in me again?"

He feels so lightheaded that he smiles dumbly at the idea and nods as if his head is too heavy, full of warm cream. Muttering several words in russian mixed in with english as he nods slowly, trembling as his cock, still hard and moving perfectly against every spot inside of you.

"Please please please К-Куколка please... fuck fuckk- let me cum... inside... inside... cum inside please please milk me- oh... П-Пожалуйста... З-...Золотце... Пожалуйста..."

The pathetic, brown haired man sobs. Pawing at your sides like an injured little puppy. Begging so prettily, who could deny those eyes of his? all teary and tired. Small blobs of salty water dripping down his eyebags which were now disappearing, thanks to yourself for keeping his sleep schedule normal again after years of nap malnutrition.

After a few more moments of Francis groaning so softly against your ear, you feel yourself about to cum too, and when you order it directly, he really does come undone. Panting like a dog in heat while nails dig against his back skin. All the while he buries himself deep inside of you once again and fills you up with a second load of his fluids that it's practically drooling out of your hole. You hiss as well, shutting your eyes with a shudder as your dick spurts out a thick white rope of cum, coating Francis' stomach and your chest. Fuck.

Francis pants, collapsing on you. You gently push him to the side and just watch him catch his breath. Eyes closed, skin warm and sweaty while he's still inside you. All soft. But its not uncomfortable. At least now, you definetely know how you can abuse this new found information with your lovely boyfriend.
