This is unbearable...

This apocalypse feels poorly organized.

Gettin' some stuff started! 🌱☺️ What are you planting right now? 🤔

Omg... Don't get me started! 😵‍💫

Yes, the moon was low and pale orange at 7 p.m. here in south England.

Unfortunately it was far too majestic for my cheap phone-camera, so you'll just have to take my word for it!

Meme. Painting of two eels in the water. They are yellow, and so is the background, so it's unclear if these are yellow eels, or eels seen through a yellow filter. They don't much care, I would guess. The eels are dark on top, and are casting shadows below them, such that they seem like eel sandwiches stuffed into the bread of darkness. They deserve names, so we shall call one of the Olivort and the other Trovilo. You can decide which is which. One is looking to the left, and one is looking back over its metaphorical shoulder to the right. Neither is looking at you, and I think that's a choice. You should maybe spend some time thinking about why, and then try to move forward and live your life as the sort of person that eels would want to look at. Meme text reads: "Weir gonna climb Right over your dam"

Let's talk about eels & dams. 'Cause dams are a problem for eels now, but they haven't always been.

Eels can live out of water for a while, & travel overland. Young eels climb up & around small waterfalls as they migrate. And so many medieval dams weren't a problem for them. 1/7

Doesn't this scavenging spread the disease?

Water Let's bring our water into public ownership.

After watching #DirtyBusiness on @channel4tv.bsky.social — and shocked by its expose of sewage dumping in our rivers & seas,
I've signed up to the We Own It campaign for public ownership of public services weownit.org.uk/public-owner...

🤣You almost feel sorry for them.

Hats off to Ukrainian resourcefulness. They accomplish far more with far less than most of us ever could.

Antibiotics would damage the cells' mitochondria because it used to be a bacterium. Hence the fatigue as a side effect.

People want catastrophe so they can feel heroic.

Agreed. Where's the petition?

Exactly. I often don't have the nerve to read the government's decision because I know it'll be a stab in the heart (and the back!)

Brw, Hansard is on Bluesky too.

Have you read it? I've not heard of this title.

Do you get the Hansard newsletter in your email? Very handy to know what's scheduled for Parliamentary debate... allowing you to be well prepared for the disappointment 😆

Into my heart an air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
.
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

~ A.E. Housman.

Photo shows a Commerson's dolpin just breaching out of a wave and making a splash. There are 2 more dolphin still fully submerged in the wav but visible as black and white shapes below the main dolphin. Commerson's dolphins are one of the smallest dolphins and are one of two species resident in the Falklands It is visually striking with its black head and flippers sharply demarcated from the white body with a black dorsal fin which is rounded in shape the black then extending down the back to the tail. They are often seen close to shore surfing the waves as here. The sea is a deep blue in the foreground then green merging into a turquoise at the top of the photo, the colour dependent on the depth and the underlying sand and kelp

What a day! The sun was shining, the sea, reflecting the sun, was the most amazing blue, changing hue as it rolled in over the sand and the Sea Pandas played in the surf.

Photo of 6 Gentoo Penguins striding up a beach towards the camera splashing in the pool they're crossing. The black and white birds are obviously coming with determination and vigour as their wings are stretched out to the back for balance and their feet are making quite a splash. The foreground is out of focus sand and in the background there is another pool with a gull to the side, more sand and then a slither of sea.

Guess who just got back today
Them wild eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed hadn't much to say
But, man, I still think them cats are crazy 🎶

😂 Perfect soundtrack!

"The rainforest’s record-breaking switch from a carbon absorber to a carbon emitter accounted for up to 30% of worldwide tropical carbon emissions in 2023, the researchers say. The findings suggest that the Amazon could become an overall carbon source faster than previously predicted."

The only way to truly destroy Iran is to install Trump as their president

The white patches are the eyes? Hard to tell.

You're lucky. I hear kiddies fetch a higher ransom. It'll take longer for the loved ones to raise the money... Hehe
