@kizzythechemist.bsky.social Help, chemistry question!! Reducing Venlafaxine by removing beads from capsule & weighing. GP suggested paper funnel to get them back in, but the little fuckers seem to stick to the paper with ?static. Would I get static with plastic? Would metal be better?

Just three months until our woodlands look like this! Winter is long, dark and grey. Spring welcomes longer days and warmer weather - something I am very much looking forwards to! Here’s a few captures from the past few years, highlighting the springtime bluebell blooms in British woodland.

Definitely giving off weird ancient log vibes today. Somehow I managed to sleep through 3.5 hours of alarm, woke with terrible sleep inertia, unable to feel face or limbs. Slowly evolving into mossy horror.

It's always fun to watch a coyote hunting in the wild. #wildlife #coyote

“What’s with the clipboard? And the staring?” “Must be Birdwatch weekend.” “So they just... watch us?” “No. They, er, count us.” “Oh. Humans are weird, huh?” #BigGardenBirdwatch

Yesterday was Not the Voids penultimate meeting of 2025, we meet again at 3pm on Sunday the 28th December. We'll have survived a whole year. The candle was lit for everyone we lost to suicide and everything we've lost to deep dark places that feel unlivable.

Peanut as a cub having a bit of a skirmish with her sibling. She's on the left. @magicalbeing.bsky.social ALT three badgers eating. The adult is eating from a black dish, her two cubs off the ground. The cub in the middle tries to shove the smaller on the left, then jobs mum at the dish.
