It's been dormant for a while, since I migrated to BlueSky. Today, I finally deactivated my X account. It will permanently delete in 30 days with absolutely no probability that I will reactivate it.

Hopefully, I don't need to explain further.

Baby proof packaging for flat-format batteries (car keys and what-have-you) is absolutely the right way to go from a safety POV. Sadly for me they are also Michael proof #manchild

A screenshot of a social media post from USFWSPacific that reads:

"SHE DID IT AGAIN!  

Wisdom, the worldโ€™s oldest known wild bird, is back with a new partner and just laid yet another egg.  

At an approximate age of 74, the queen of seabirds returned to Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge last week and began interacting with a male."  

This tweet is paired with an image of two Laysan Albatrosses at Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. Wisdom, the oldest known wild bird, is shown alongside her new partner, demonstrating her enduring legacy as a remarkable seabird.

We humbly interrupt your scroll to bring you the news that Wisdomโ€”the world's oldest known wild birdโ€”is breeding again, age 74.

Reform UK is now the Trump Takeover Party. It is a trojan horse for the UK to become part of the USA in all but name.

We can defeat this position. It's not politically popular here. But they do have bags and bags of money.

Maybe because middle class women of a certain age are in a position to call out this shit without fear of losing a salary they need. And can do it on behalf of young women starting out in their careers who are just as sick of this shit but canโ€™t say anything because they need to earn a living.

She's exhausted and probably a little depressed. Not a great reaction, chaps, must do better. Cheap shot.

We weren't. They didn't. Evolution by natural selection produced a virus that favours you as a niche habitat. Similar to the tricks it does with, say, whales and petunias

We canโ€™t have another referendum on Brexit because that was the will of the (lied to) people 8 years agoโ€ฆ

But weโ€™re supposed to have another general election despite having had one 4 months ago

Right wing bellends are f*cking hilarious.
