The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Our local @rspbscotland.bsky.social hide is The Loons in Birsay. A lovely, peaceful spot to spend an hour or so. No sign of the bittern that’s been lurking, but there were whooper swans, gadwall, moorhens, coots, ravens and a grey heron.

Happy feast day to St Kentigern, a.k.a. Mungo! Celebrate by resurrecting a cook, yoking a stag and a wolf to the same plough, and using the waters of the Clyde to pinch a king's barns. Also, don't kick him or your foot will rot. [https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/basis/jocelyn-lifeofkentigern.asp]
