Now the EU has done its magic with USB-C, I think camera screw threads are next These 20th century piece-a-shit rangefinders are gonna be the death of me, cause I still have no clue what the difference between M39, LTM, and L39 is. Emotional support FED attached

Just to prove you are worth an 8p stamp.

I hope every Labour MP considering whether to support Shabana Mahmood's asylum plans remembers Nigel Farage's assessment that the “Home Secretary sounds like a Reform supporter.” If they support them they will too.

Kids were playing around with watercolour yesterday - so I had a go. #lichen and art.

Amazing things happening on TikTok

If I had a penny for every time someone stole a cash machine from a Sainsbury's with a telehandler, I'd have 2p, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Nice surprise today with the northernmost English record for Monobella grassei (approx location = Green dot) Hopkin Checklist places it as 'MODERATELY COMMON IN SOUTHERN ENGLAND', though since then, many more records have populated the map across the midlands. #collembola #entomology #springtail 🧪🪲

i dont care that theres no feasible biological reason why we should be able to, and that everyone smarter than me says its just vibrations from the machine or a placebo, i am convinced that you can feel medical xrays and nobody can tell me otherwise

Before you say it I know I've written the card upside down.

Here's a fabulous arachnid for the feed tonight, a Giant Velvet Mite. Their bright colors appear to be aposematic, warning potential predators of their unpleasant taste and smell. (Dinothrombium sp.) Portal, AZ 2025 #Arachtober

Anyone know what causes this appearance of multiple pseudopupils in some butterflies? #entomology #bugsky #lepidoptera #invertebrates 🪲🧪

I found a leviathan of a railroad worm (aka glowworm, aka larviform female Phengodes beetle) on a rock in New Hope Creek. Biggest I have ever seen Fortuitously, an elementary school field trip passed by just as I was rescuing it from watery doom, so impromptu show and tell commenced. #invertebrates

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Just seen a red kite up close, hovering near to the ground, for the first time, holy SHIT!! Wingspan is larger than myself laid horizontally by a fair margin. Hopefully I'll see more of them outside of Oxfordshire + N. Yorkshire next year, they definitely seem to be venturing out past the pennines.

Hate seeks to divide us. But hope endures when we stand together. Our solidarity is with the Jewish community today. #britainstandstogether

Look after each other.

Just one more sleep until the first night of the all new Uncanny: Fear of the Dark tour! 😱😱😱 6 brand new cases live on stage for us to investigate, with the help of @ciaranokeeffe.bsky.social and Evelyn Hollow (not on BlueSky yet!) I cannot wait to get started!! 👻

horrified they weren’t quick enough to keep her from spreading this kind of vile hate speech on TV. for those who don’t know, “go birds” is a coded expression of support for the Philadelphia Eagles

Nothing is ever really lost or deleted on the internet so I'm just gonna collate a thought I had here

Hey @writerpaula.bsky.social! I gather you'll recognise this one? Trying to see if I can put a name to the artist behind the illustrations, and you seem to be the one name I can actually get a hold of looking online. Any tips or contact info to start off the paper trail? :)

Random art tip #3, don't vote in tangerines with questionable fiscal records, order is on hold due to some more crap with de minimis being scrapped

Random art tip #2, commemorative stamps from the late 20th century can go for super cheap (especially in big lots). I probably won't be art-ing too much with them, too attached and I haven't even collected these yet.

Bet this card reaches you in September.

Random art tip #001, fancy wine and drink can labels can be digitised pretty accurately by just rolling the container along the scanning unit of a flatbed printer as it moves

Surely it's now time for the commisioning of a domestic aerial firefighting fleet? Holt Heath 2 weeks ago, Langdale right now, ground fire services being thrown into once rare wildfires without sufficient PPE or training per Fire Brigade Union claims... Not that my idea would be safe either, but.

can't play the NYT Mini Crossword for free anymore????????? shame! shame!!!

it’s very cool Masayoshi Takanaka is bringing back his surfboard guitar for his 2026 tour just for me

@britishspiders.bsky.social And who might be the culprit here? Yellow Iris, folded by pondside in Lancashire. A thin layer of silk covered both ends of the fold, with almost no silk, excrement, or indeed spider in the middle.
