Me too, as I take in information better in written form. However, some of my friends prefer it due to their needs.

For any legal experts out there, please do correct me, but I understand that, for some offences, they may be able to pursue the former directors of a liquidated company under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) to seize personal assets purchased with money made committing the offence.

On most social media platforms you can opt to mute posts which use certain words or phrases, like 'Ryd*r Cup' so that's an option for social media. On Bluesky, go to settings - moderation - mute words.

Scientists Taught Pet Parrots to Video Call Each Otherโ€”and the Birds Loved It Wild parrots tend to fly in flocks, but when kept as single pets, they may become lonely and bored

Also putting it out into the world I would also love to be in touch with a musicologist knowledgeable in Native music and/or language, particularly that of the Wompanoag/Algonquian nations of the Northeastern Woodlands

Again, this is for a musical project

Music Bluesky please do your thing!

Iโ€™m doing a project and Iโ€™m interested in the relationship the Separatist Puritans had with music, and what music came with them to the American colonies

Thanks!

If you don't feel like yourself today, choose a disguise to wear into the world:

- unemployed rock bassist
- librarian of darkness
- moss witch
- slightly sexy shrub

Humanists stand for: Universalism, not tribalism. Freedom, not conformity. Generosity, not selfishness. Diversity, not uniformity. Equality, not hierarchy. Empathy, not pity. Rational doubt, never certainty. Courage, over fear. And truth, love, and kindness above all else.

You know what autistic people really like? Communicating as clearly as they possibly can only to be wildly misunderstood, read in the worst possible faith and yelled at for something theyโ€™re not actually doing. Thatโ€™s a super fun time for us. Doesnโ€™t trigger any unpleasant traumas at all.

US Democrats are currently giving UK politicians & journalists a lesson in how to hold Nigel Farage to account.

It'd be nice if they paid attention.

It's like malware that speeds up the 'telephone game' with data. It amplifies the outliers in data (clickbait) and replicates it indiscriminately, until amplified outliers are all that's left.
