Sagala nailed her newborn's debut! After giving birth, she headed to our Voi stockades. The orphans gathered round, trunks outstretched towards their tiny 'cousin.' Sagala is now living wild, she remains deeply boned to the people who raised her for the better part of a decade. swt.bio/sagala

In other news, the Guardian is now running scam ads. This is what happens when you choose to data harvest your readers with surveillance adtech & run shitty programmatic ads…a literal fake BBC news report (starring @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com) embedded into an actual news report

Some of you may remember my thread on Glasgow murals; there are plenty of imaginative and talented mural artists in and around the city that have and could represent the history in a way that doesn't include a fucking bald eagle. Fuck AI
