Oh FFS. Lots of Glis glis (aka Rave Dormice) in my loft NOW. An Echo Dot pumping out bangin beats. The furry c*nts say they’re here to ‘party all nite strictly old skool style’, so no sleep for me, just this racket accompanied by the sound of paws pounding the floor🙄

Good work. #rememberthegreenpole

He’s the man who asks the questions we all secretly ponder, privately, in the very interior of our heads. How is he able to do this? Reminds me of that prayer about God, unto whom the secrets of all people’s hearts are laid open… oh my life, I’m having an acid flashback in which Adrian Chiles = JAH

The eyes follow you round the room

“We’re doomed, I tell ye… doomed”

Off topic I know, but is that phrase at the end a Sopranos reference or chronologically earlier? I’m only familiar with it from Steve Buscemi’s character Tony Blundetto asking Tony Soprano to be given a slice of the action, and I knew he was quoting from somewhere else… but from
whence, I knew not.

Superb 👏😍👏

Why?!
Will these attract pandas to my garden?
Or are they intended to deter any pesky black & white raccoon/bear who dares encroach upon my property, drawn there due to a profusion of bamboo round the back?

In the words of A. Crowley: ‘I am
perplexed’…

This looks to me to be an example of what medical professionals term
‘journos-mistakenly-assuming-everyone-else-thinks-and-acts-like-them’ syndrome

We Can Make an Impact. Justice for the Whitewebbs Oak

@enfielddispatch.bsky.social
“Toby Carvery admits felling ancient Whitewebbs oak. The owner of the pub chain falsely claimed the tree was dead as justification for the felling which has shocked local people & prompted outrage from conservationists across the country…”

Oh hello, THE VOURDALAK has landed on Channel 4's free streaming service. A ripping adaptation of the Tolstoy (also seen in Mario Bava's BLACK SABBATH, of course). Love the commitment to having the titular blood-sucking cadaver portrayed by a life-size walkin' talkin' marionette, good stuff...

Times are tough for us all with inflation/utility bill costs increases, meanwhile no wage rises, general despond and gloom, fears about what the orange lunatic across the pond will do next… but things could be worse - a lot worse.
Imagine being a civilian in Gaza

So beautiful 😍

… but I reckon the pierced heart motif in general is derived from pre-Reformation (or counter-Reformation) Catholic visual representations.

Are there other Tarot cards (trumps or suits) that utilise RC imagery?

I guess trump no. V, Le Pape (later, The Hierophant) is a fairly obvious one! 😆

This Tarot design (by the talented www.danielmartindiaz.com) explicitly
employs trad RC imagery…

Those eyes! 😍😱😁

What a terrific photo - showing the Tree Creeper’s gravity-defying skills! 😀
I’ve only ever seen one once, or maybe twice - it was a tremendous thrill to observe it in action, the strange, mouse-like scuttling up and down the tree trunk

What a handsome bird, very elegant

Saint Casimir

In remembrance of Saint Casimir, whose memorial it is today. May he protect Poland, Lithuania, and the other Baltic States throughout the next three years and more

ON THE NENE WITH HARRY OTNWH is a visual journey along the river Nene following a very special guide: Harry the Heron. The two-pages episodes of this comic are published every four months on "The Happy Hood", a community zine that celebrates good news in Northampton

... This is really cool 💙

Terrific artwork and a great way to celebrate the local landscape. Might Harry’s explorations see him meet up with Boudica and Alan, the beavers recently released in the Nene Wetlands? www.wildlifebcn.org/news/beavers...

Three Storks, standing high in a field of peas, and little blue flowers, on a bright yellow background

'Three Storks Living in Peas' - by #Ukrainian Folk artist, Maria Prymachenko (1909-1997)

Storks are one of the most honoured birds in Ukrainian culture. Once called ‘botsiun’, ‘boussel’, ‘buz’ko’ – translated as God’s Bird (Божа птиця) – an indication of deep sacredness of this image...
