My mother is being silly 🙄🙄🙄 #cantgetthestaff

Thank you to our @bsky.app followers, please encourage as others to follow our page. Bats continue to be widely misunderstood and undervalued despite being a significant part of our natural heritage. In the UK we have 18 bat species and globally they make up 20% of all mammal species.

This is a thoughtful story by an American flight attendant recounting how Gander, Newfoundland (pop 10,400) took in 10,500 passengers from 53 airplanes when the USA closed its airspace on 9/11. Neighbours look after neighbours 🇨🇦🇺🇸 annlaemmlenlewis.com/2015/09/10/f...

🦇 (1/2) In response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s speech today: we believe that blaming the laws that protect bats, newts and other wildlife, as well as our wider environment, for planning delays is short sighted and misguided.

Scampi: Ted, I’m going to sleep. You stand guard and wake me up when Dad brings our treats Ted: Ok, I’ll guard Scampi: …and wake me up when Dad comes? Ted: I’m standing guard Scampi: You’re forgetting the wake me up part? Ted: Guarding, guarding, guarding Scampi: I’ll just keep one eye open #Cats

Any kitties out there taking #potassium for #renal failure? Wolfie is so good about taking pills for his thyroid, heart and skin condition but hates the liquid potassium supplement he’s taking twice daily. I’m wondering if any cats take a pill version or tastier liquid version?

BlueSky can you help? The Movers and Shakers podcast is doing a live show at Middle Temple hall on January 29th. As part of it we want to show our We Will Survive video and get people to sing along- but the lowest quote we’ve had for a projector and screen is £4000! Anyone able to do it cheaper?

Thou shalt not promise lower grocery prices and then deliver war against Panama, Canada, and Greenland.

Just in from mammoth interview session to two bits of news. One that a DV perp got locked up because of something I did and that a vulnerable constituent had a a massive wrongful debt written off after our intervention. This is why I came to politics, this is why I'll just keep cracking on.

open.substack.com/pub/rorycell... Why #sophiefromromania is leaving Twitter- welcome to BlueSky new followers!

The censorship algorithm on Twitter reduced our audience by roughly 95%, and seriously, who does that to a wildlife biology & advocacy group ? So we moved 😇 over here to BlueSky If you could, please help us regain our following Follow Retweet and Repeat ;-) Together we can change the world.

Bea can make a perfect circle when she sleeps…. She is also quite good at making fractals when she wakes up 😁 #ShapingUpToBeAGoodYear

The New Year has brought me 14,000 followers on BlueSky on which I post in parallel to X where I have 160,300. Less abuse on BlueSky - though not none! - and overall much less interaction. Nowadays I seldom reply or argue, just provide factual useful or interesting information

A big update on helping the street dogs. Lots of big wins... open.substack.com/pub/niallhar...

It's a sunny day, the first in what seems like weeks. We go outside! Checking all the stinky stuff #catsOfBlueSky #blueskykitties #blueskycats #siamese #blackcats

Day 1 of your Hammy Christmas Advent Calendar

Is #Caturday a thing on BlueSky? Well it is now….

We're thankful to hear that Wisdom, the world's oldest banded bird, has returned to Midway Atoll for the breeding season AND has already laid an egg! At 74+ years old, Wisdom is changing our understanding of #seabird biology. Welcome back & congrats! #ornithology friendsofmidway.org/wisdom-was-s...

I thought it might be worth introducing myself here as most people might not know me and what I do. My name is Niall and I am on a mission to save street dogs around the world. This is me with Tina. A very special dog. This is my story…. (1/8) 🧵

By the way thanks to all my new followers here - obviously there will continue to be plenty of #sophiefromromania content but you can also expect lots about tech and health, Parkinson’s and a light sprinkling of #BrentfordFC and #sourdough

I shall snoopervise dad in the garden from here

@janefallon.bsky.social Pickles told me she was a wrestler before she was adopted, she is beautiful 📦🐈‍⬛🍌 did you know that?

I found Pedro on Friday. He was done with life and in absolute agony living on the streets in Thailand. I always find the eyes are the first sign things are changing. You can see the life coming back into them. He’s had a very tough day today but progress is huge (1/8) 🧵

Mr Fox is a dog I fed on the streets of Thailand for 2 years. One of the very first ever. He was the most easy going, best behaved boy on my feeding found. I decided to get him a home earlier this year and he ended up in the USA. I find this hard to believe... (1/3)

Scampi: Dad, I was looking at our followers on BlueSky and I think I know some from the olden days Dad: I think they like seeing your cute face so they want to see more of you Scampi: Ok, I will show more of me Dad: Oh no, quick, where do they keep the photo stickers on BlueSky 😳☘️ #NoFluffyTrousers

I'm watching my followers, but thems not increased at all for 2 days? Am I doing somefing wrong? 😿 (Others seem to be going up by 100s a day? I only follow cats, so maybe non-cats leave when I don't follow back?) #CatsOfTwitter #CatsOfBluesky

Trying a new post to new 🦋friends, hi there! I’m Hemi, my favourite things are cheese and screaming!

(Janet) Guess where I went yesterday - yes, the Memorial Garden! I was very impressed and I will go there again. I was glad that Colin saw me and took photos. There was a bit of snow on the ground but that didn't bother me, my fur coat keeps me nice and warm.
