The otter keeper gave this baby otter a sock to keep warm, she later turned it into a onsie with holes for the hands, feet and tail!

the fact most reports are leaving out that he was killed protecting his husband during a homophobic hate crime where his dead dog's skull was placed in their mailbox as a threat is leaving some important details out i think

Pride Month matters, and I wanted to do something small but meaningful through my chocolate shop. This limited-edition bar is available just for June, and all profits go to the LGBT Foundation. ✨ Please check it out or share if you can!

I can personally recommend @annieneugebauer.bsky.social's collection, You Have to Let Them Bleed, and @toddkeisling.com's collection; Cold, Black, & Infinite. I've read those. They're fantastic!

Lives of quiet desperation: what the government doesn’t get. Voters hoped for real change, but face more cuts, broken promises, and politics-as-usual – despair deepens across the UK.

A little bear figurine carved out of amber some 6,000 years ago 🐻 ❤️ A hole runs through the bear’s torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord and perhaps worn as a protective amulet. Discovered in a peat bog near Slupsk in Poland. 📷 National Museum in Szczecin. #Archaeology

No, say it louder. It's absolute bullshit how Across the Spider-Verse made over $300 million in profit, yet neither Marvel nor Sony could be bothered to defray the hospital bills of the man who co-created Miguel O'Hara. Instead they left his wife and family scrambling to afford to live.

Marvel could pay for my healthcare for the rest of my life for a fraction of 1% of profit from Spider-Man Noir, a character whose original comics I edited. For Peter David to die in medical debt, co-creator of Spider-Man 2099 and writer of countless seminal Hulk and X-Factor comics—that's a disgrace

The Sprotta hand axe is a #Neanderthal masterpiece. The flint tool was found in northern Saxony in 1996 and dates back to 50,000 to 80,000 years ago. This hand axe demonstrates not only the technical skill but also the aesthetic sense of its maker, as it is noted for its carefully...🧵1/2 📷 me

#cats, Oh look Loki is sleeping, he's tired, maybe because he was awake from 2:30 am, shouting and battering the door to the room he sleeps in with his sister, just because he heard me having to go to the toilet. Thanks very much , chum

Maybe it's called a corpse flower because that's a dead ballerina stuffed in a bucket.

I know he's younger than the previous pontiff, but even so, this is pretty impressive stuff given the limited time he'll have had in nets recently.

Fascinating world of ancient #glass: an amazing #Roman glass jug with a smaller glass jug inside – a so-called joke-jar that shows the skill of the glassmaker. Probably made in workshop in Cologne, found in a grave in Stein am Rhein, #Switzerland, 4th c. AD. 📷 Kantonsarchäologie Schaffhausen 🏺

God the tabloids and Brexit dinosaurs were boring today… 🦖 Braying the same “betrayal” lines they’ve brayed since they got what they wanted… then found they had no benefits in it whatsoever. Still they came out today to play victim yet again. But the world has moved on.

A brilliant piece of poetry from Michael Rosen, clearly directed at Starmer and the current Labour Government.

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.
