Actually it’s a young tawny owl.
I believe it’s a barn owl.

"FOR I CAN SEE THE BALANCE AND YOU HAVE LEFT THE WORLD MUCH BETTER THAN YOU FOUND IT, AND IF YOU ASK ME, said Death, NOBODY COULD DO ANY BETTER THAN THAT…"
Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❤️

I’m off to see his talk/tour next week. It feels slightly weird to be attending this kind of thing as a fan and not a bobbling daughter.
On this Disability Day of Mourning, let’s honor Wael Tarabishi, a disabled man who died when ICE took his caregiver away.
Wael told them he would die without his father who was his “arms, legs & lungs”.
ICE took him anyways.
Wael died 3 months later:

Discworld QOTD, from Jingo
“History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow. Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders.”
Ah okay! I thought I’d read a previous post after waiting for get prescribed and assumed it was the first. Hope it settles down.
Fucking hell when I pointed out this morning Ellison had a history of hiring (untalented) men who faced allegations of sexual harassment, had no idea a new one would drop in hours www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...
Do they not start you on the low dose first and then build you up? Like Mounjaro?
Once more I find myself LFW. So if you (or anyone you know) have a cool #gamedev project that could use the tender skills of someone such as myself, do please reach out.
you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

It's Reform Vs the Green Party.
Vote for the Green Party.
www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
Labour know they're in third place. Yet in the last 48 hours have gone as far as obsessively attacking the Green Party and even creating a fake tactical voting website to spread misinformation.
If you can't vote today - then join us instead!

Lower bills.
Protect the NHS.
Rebuild public services.
Vote Hannah Spencer & the Green Party.
It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow
It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker
This was never about woman's sports
this is not about sports, this is about erasing every trans person from public life and forcing them to detransition or worse, driven by people who would prefer the latter
this is what every “just asking questions” or “just following the science” concern troll leads to
vindictive, vicious cruelty designed to humiliate and criminalize every trans person in kansas
horrifying fascist shit reminiscent of the runup to the literal holocaust
And also... to all the 'but there has to be a path back for people who made a mistake' people... how about the women who were driven out of comics after been harassed/assaulted? You worried about them having a path back?
HOLY COW
The Humble Bundle has been extended for another week because they were so pleased with our success so far.
Please tell your friends. There's one more chance to help this essential organization. <3

Reform want to bring Trump’s thugs onto our own streets. They must be stopped.
Only a vote for the Greens in Gorton and Denton on Thursday can stop them.
Hope will defeat hate.

For anyone who has not seen it, my research, along with the suicide statistics he apparently tried to cover up, show very clearly that Streeting is NOT putting children’s safety first in any way whatsoever. Trans kids are very likely to to suffer trauma well into adulthood, if they make it that far.
Our first #Kickstarter Update is out! THANK YOU to everyone who has backed Game On so far... we truly believe @brendaromero.bsky.social's story should be seen by everyone who's a fan of #games. Please check it out if you haven't already! 🎮
