ATTENTION THIS IS NOT A DRILL BABY BIRBS CONFIRMED IN OUR BIRD BOX! BABY BIRBS CONFIRMED! This is the first time we've had blue tits nest in our bird box since 2020. I am SO jazzed! (Don't worry, I lifted the lid for like 5 seconds to snap a shot & will not disturb them again.) #Birds #BlueTit

30 Day Song Challenge for Music Nerds day 28: a song by your favorite FEMALE vocalist I'll go with Annie Lennox, though she's just one of many female vocalists I stan & adore. Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This) by the Eurythmics #MusicSky #Music #Eurythmics #AnnieLennox #80sMusic #30DaySongChallenge

Look at him. He regrets nothing

These art cookies (known as 'biscuits' in UK) by @ellamchawk.bsky.social are STUNNING. Take a minute to look through the whole thread. Absolutely mind-blowing. What a talent! 🤩 #ArtSky #DecorativeArts #Baking #Art

30 Day Song Challenge for Music Nerds day 27: a song by your fave composer #AesopRock is generally known as a hip-hop artist (and a superlative one at that!) but did you know he also composed the soundtrack to the film #Bushwick? #Music #MusicSky #Filmsky #HipHop #Soundtrack #30DaySongChallenge

You know what cult film I've never seen? Big Trouble in Little China. Just...never saw it. Thinking I need to remedy this situation this weekend. #FilmSky #Film #CultFilms

my most Gen X coded belief is that cities and the culture at large suffer profoundly for the near-complete death of alt-weeklies

It is too dang early in the morning for a child to be having a loud tantrum in the street outside my house. I haven't had my first cup of coffee yet, kid. How about you pipe down for a sec. Wait, can I interest you in a cup of coffee? Might make us both feel better.

I'm looking forward to watching Murderbot, but I'm waiting for more episodes to drop. Also, when I read the books, I imagined #Murderbot as female-bodied. Seeing Alexander Skarsgård purporting to be Murderbot doesn't make sense with my fantasy.

HEAR, HEAR! 👏

30 Day Song Challenge for Music Nerds day 26: a song about the DEVIL that's about something SPOOKY (Seriously, who wrote these prompts?!) Blueeyed devil by Soul Coughing. More about a salesman than an actual devil, but I do love this song. #MusicSky #Music #SoulCoughing #90sMusic

30 Day Song Challenge for Music Nerds Day 23: a song by a band you liked in the 90s. Screenwriter's Blues by Soul Coughing. I used to listen to this as I was driving around Los Angeles. "We are all in some way or another going to Reseda someday to die..." #MusicSky #Music #SoulCoughing #90sMusic

Mood. (Perhaps it's the result of an anxiety.) #MadMax #BubbaZanetti #FilmSky #Film #Irritated #Anxiety

I will never as long as I live vote Labour. They are as dead to me as Republicans, Tories and Reform.

This is wild. I wonder where it was shot. That wee scruff is Boss Dog! All the other dogs see him coming and suddenly remember a Very Urgent Appointment they have, this instant, anywhere but here 😆 #DogsOfBluesky

Inspired me to write to my MP today. We've got to keep at them. Our voices supporting our trans friends, neighbours, colleagues and siblings WILL be heard! 🏳️‍⚧️✊ #TransSolidarity #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Take the fictional characters quiz and post the first four you know: openpsychometrics.org/tests/charac... Intellectual romantic weirdos with a side helping of neurosis? Yeah, that tracks.

for purely cynical reasons, if i were a left-leaning labour mp (there aren't many!) i'd quit the party now before it is too late to wash out the stench

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Still. True.

Finally fixed the light box and got my Dragon and Girl stained glass piece hung in the front hall. Took long enough, dang! #StainedGlass #Dragon #Art #ArtSky
