Evening Colours. 6°C. Song Thrush chirping.

Animals with misleading names. I'm seeing this go around as part of a viral tumblr thread so I thought I'd reshare it.

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.

Emma badger, in my profile pic (now sadly RIP) used to sit, dog like, waiting for her food. She learnt the sound of the door opening and would come and sit outside when she heard it. Helped with the old OCD cos she'd do this when I checked the door and I didn't want to overfeed her.

Gentle mist in the air and autumn colours. There is so many different textures in this. Love how the evergreens are contrasting so nicely with the yellows. #icm #autumncolour #mistymorning #Photography #EastCoastKin #Treescape

For today's #ArtAdventCalendar here's my drawing of a Badger. This one took quite some time and I still think his eyes look a bit wonky but he was a lovely subject to draw. Happy Tuesday everyone! 🕊️ #Mammals #Art #Nature #Badgers #Drawing #EastCoastKin

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.

If you are sick and tired of Governments failing to implement a peat compost ban again and again - to save all of the habitat it destroys each year and bring security to jobs and businesses in horticulture - please sign this petition actnow.peatfreepartnership.org.uk/end-peat-sal... I’ve signed

This is incredible!

Okay, so nearly died of excitement there when @robsongreen.bsky.social had apparently followed me. But no, there are 2. So is @robsongreenxo.bsky.social an impersonator🤔 Heads up @support.bsky.team Although if it is the real Robson Green I'll just go back to fangirling😆

Admittedly simplistic, but I was surprised how easy it was to keep the polls and the markets happy. Also ended up with a surplus and reversed 2 child benefit cap. www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-...

HIDDEN OWL CHALLENGE!

WIBTA....? Left a bad review for a therapist online. Suspect they've been canvassing for good reviews in response as they have more good reviews in the week since I left mine, than in the whole of the previous year. WIBTA to canvas "likes" for my review?

Absolutely gutted. This Bill allows developers to destroy wildlife & natural habitats if they pay into a "restoration fund" Amendment 40 sought to limit this. In theory, with this bill "my" badgers could be killed for a new building. 💔

URGENT: tomorrow there is a vote on the Govt's Planning & Infrastructure Bill. This says that developers will be able to destroy wildlife & their habitats WITHOUT AN ECOLOGICAL SURVEY long as they pay into a central restoration fund. We can't destroy nature and recreate it elsewhere! TBC 1/

A Brief Glimmer. 14°C on a rather bleak afternoon. A few sheep.

Dinner Dilemma: 1. Pizza 2. Stir Fry 3. Veggie sausages 1 & 2 require deliveroo 2 & 3 require cooking What I'd like is a stir fry to appear magically with no cooking or carbon footprint dilemmas...😵‍💫

I saw a hare in the garden today. They said to pass on greetings from the wild woods

It shouldn't need to be said, but your value as a fellow human being is not whether you are financially productive or whether you avoid claiming benefits. Image created by @ritb.bsky.social

As my autistic kid used to say, vaccines don't cause autism but autism probably caused vaccines!

Finally made it to other town for OCD Tx. Re-cleaned already spotless AirBnB. Got to making supper at about 11.30. Cue carbon monoxide alarm, unable to get hold of property management, opened all windows (cold) & waited for emergency gas engineer, who arrived at 2am & turned gas off >

Apparently my dad (psychiatrist, psychoanalyst & one time army medic) once wrote a report for the army with the help of amphetamines. Unlike Freud, he did at least have the humility to admit the report turned out to be absolute nonsense 😆

Really pleased to see this quote from my MP @helenhayes.bsky.social “If we fail to tell a story about the nature of our country, the diversity and cohesion in our communities, ... to give people a real sense of positive change and that they are part of that positive change it’s not good enough.”
