Today's walk. As beautiful a winter's day as you could ask for (but no #fungi spotted #fungifriends)

To help myself get through these times, I capture evidence of better days to think back to. This was Tuesday evening, although it was nice most of the day, following which the grey, damp, drizzle, and rain has returned with a vengence.

Same, Paralympics soon though

Today's walk: snowy higher up, just generally a lovely day #fungi #fungifriends

hold on i gotta take this

This news has made my week

Wonderful news for a much loved London landmark. And for @c20society.bsky.social's long campaign. And hopefully a sign that Brutalist civic architecture is getting the official love it deserves nationwide.

Fungi from today's walk including the charmingly-named scarlet elf caps #fungi #fungifriends

Today's walk. Mild, almost spring-like afternoon, flowers everywhere. Much appreciated after the weather we've been having #fungi #fungifriends

Amazing clip

You know who wouldn’t have failed to acknowledge boos for a US leader at the Olympics? This guy. From 1968…

Well that was very enjoyable. Now to get as much Winter Olympics as possible in front of my eyeballs for the next 2 weeks...

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What we all need to see is a red squirrel in a power pose. You're welcome.

This morning's walk

Mark Tully, a longtime BBC correspondent who was widely known as the “voice of India” for his reporting on the South Asian nation, has died, the broadcaster said. He was 90.

Happy 40th birthday Pixies

Today's dusk walk through the woods #fungi #fungifriends

I've since seen him a few times, sitting on the canal-side not looking very happy. I'm a bit worried 🙁 #birdsofbsky #birdsofbluesky

Climing up through the woods earlier

Beautiful morning for a walk - thank you weather-gods!!!!

Daily bunny no.3179 wants to sing along

Sadly no sign since this 🙁

I'm sharing this here, as I have on Facebook and Instagram, but there's no account on here to share from, and I just think this is wonderful. A really good balance of design and implementation, and appears to achieve everything it set out to do, and it *SO* appeals to my inner 'work nerd'.

I LOVE meeting cats on walks

Today's woodland walk fungi, before we come under a 2 day weather warning for rain 😐 #fungifriends

Here's my friend 2 days ago hanging with the mallards, a great bunch of lads 🦆🦆🦆 #birdsky #birds

Miserable, overcast, damp day today, so flashback to Wednesday lunchtime

Had a great Theory of Change chat with @molly.wiki about the crypto industry and Trump and also the very strong overlap between crypto advocates and Wikipedia haters. Here's the transcript, audio, and video: plus.flux.community/p/web3-has-b...

This guy turned up on my local canal a few weeks ago. He seems to hang out alone although I think I've seen him with our regular mallards at least once. The internet is telling me he's possibly a muscovy duck which seems VERY unlikely #birdsky #birds
