This is brilliant.

Depressing.

My snapdragons are refusing to give me seeds and are still chucking up flowers. It's October 15th. Come on guys, it'll start the never ending rain season soon.

I will add a word to my statement "Labour's comms is shit" "Labour's comms is deliberately shit." Which is kinda worse, as it's a cynical move.

I have so much to say on this subject that it's probably better as a blog post. But there are 3 things : 🧵 1. Find a truly independent vet practice. A large amount now are beholden to investment companies who have no interest in the welfare of your animal and are all about the money. 1/5

Let the dogs out for a wee last night, stepping out in my slipper socks. Something wet hit my leg. Me: Dafuq? Is it raining upwards? Looks down. Squished slug. Yes, I stood on it and it shot slug juice up my leg. SO glad I wasn't in my bare feet as it was already gross enough. 🤢🤮

I wonder how many 'native' Brits could even meet that requirement? A load of bollocks indeed.

We screw up their habitat and they moan when they shit on windows. We have black-backed gulls here on the Esk. Sure they're noisy and kinda obnoxious at times, and they get in beefs with the jackdaws. Hardly a capital offence. www.rspb.org.uk/scotland/new...

Jebus, Vodafone down and I'm on it for mobile and broadband. Can't work, only just got mobile back!

Extrajudicial killings People being disappeared Descent into authoritarianism 'Department of War' Disenfranchising and endangering women Politicising the Justice Department Stripping millions of their healthcare to benefit billionaires "No one deserves the Nobel peace prize more" Oh fuck off.

Reporting from war-torn Portland

Small tidy up in the #shrimp tank 🦐 The little boogers managed to uproot almost all the monte carlo carpet, so I've pulled it out and put in some echinodorus reni I had spare from the main tank. Alas, last time I moved plants I didn't check them and I now have freshwater limpets in the shrimp tank 😭

It's that time of the year when my 'Memories' start throwing puppy photos at me. Nova, 1 day old. Look at the little strawberry snoot!! 👀 🥰

The walls of the oval office will be stained with ketchup today then...

Someone once said to me "You should respect the office even if you don't respect the leader". How can I respect the office when it's turned into a shopping channel selling overpriced tat? Pretty sure this isn't even legal.

Nova is 5 today, where did that go? Happy barkday beautiful girl. We so nearly lost you and your brother before you even had a chance at life. We love you and your mum so much, and you've both made our lives richer. 🥰🧡 #whippets #DogsOfBluesky

JR Whippet Rescue christmas cards and 2026 calendars are now available!

The Best Boy. 🧡

Took him long enough. Still, at least he's grown a pair.

This is about as winning expression as a #greyhound could pull off.

Not really the best weather. Why is it I see it as orange but my Lumix FZ330 doesn't? 😐😒

The tories are toast, and they know it. If Labour somehow manage to win the next election (and that's not a given), the official opposition will be Reform. Frankly both T & R make me 🤮

Just putting this out there for (what feels like) the 100th time. If you screenshot text, then I'm assuming you have it on your screen. Copy and paste this text and just add it as alt text when posting the image. It's not fucking rocket science. Wanna reach max amount of ppl? Use.Alt.Text. 1/2

The not-so-United States then? What next - Civil War? Alt text in next post. *sigh

So just using the words Palestine Action in that order is enough to warrant arrest now? Jebus.

It's been heartening to see the global outpouring of love for Jane Goodall. She made a difference. 🧡

I'm starting to think maybe I should prune this bad boy.. 🪴

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. www.joyannreid.com/p/the-vice-p...

The Esk gifted us a tree today - opposite bank, roots an' all. Looking at the water lines the river went to it's widest during the rain covering all that gravel and going to within a few feet of the road.

Making mini liver treats for the dogs. Basically liver cake but runnier, spread into a an upside down silicone pyramid mat (usually used for cooking/cooling meat on. Forgot how gross whiizzing up liver is. Hopefully they'll like them. Miah loved the one I baked for her 2nd birthday...

A good time to remember this 💎 m.youtube.com/watch?v=ptfm...

"Saudi Arabia, the country has attempted to transform its image in recent years." - Sure, if by transform it's image you mean murdering and dismembering a journalist to shut him up. "People here don't care about those topics," she said. "If they did, they wouldn't live here." ...... 😐

Amy's arrived. Stay safe everyone. 🌨️🌨️

On our bank account, which was in my name only before we changed to a joint account. I'm always the second name on all correspondence. 😑

Ooh 'delivery today'. Wait. What?

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory. They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth. But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi. RIP, Jamal. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

He was 17 in 2003? I guess it's true. Hate really does age people.

In other news, my Affinity apps are now working. For some reason being logged into my account on the website while activating through the app on MacOS seemed to do the trick. Why the feck that would work I have no idea.

Got chastised on a Discord earlier for my 'language'. Not sure if it was me saying "christ on a bike" or referring to myself as "an old fart". Good job they don't follow me on here. The pearl clutching would be audible for miles.

So after seeing all the speculation around Affinity's announcement I thought I'd be on the safe side and fire up my Mac to update my V2 apps. In-app login refuses to recognise my login, so I can't update. Apparently it's been taken down from the online store 🧵 1/5

Gypsy and Katy would have been 18 today. Rare, but not unheard of for a whippet to get to that age. Katy left us at 16, and Gypsy at 17. Litter sisters, they never spent a day apart in their lives until Katy passed. It was a privilege to look after them after mum died. We still miss them.

The only surprising thing in this article is that the BBC haven't censored the swearing in the text.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

'The rent's due, must write an article'. Four paragraphs, to be precise.

This is horrific. My father had to go into a care home with dementia and this sort of thing is terrifying. I was involved in a 'safeguarding' process due to abject failures of care at the unit he was in before the care home. I'd rather die than go into the same system.

Have you seen this @markavery.bsky.social ?

Godammit. And of course, some are accusing wind turbines of being the culprits, ignoring all the usual patterns. 😡 www.scotland.police.uk/what-s-happe...

Sound ON.
