Arthur's Seat is on fire and since Scotland doesn't have as much of a culture around dealing with wildfires, a small PSA:

If you are near wildfires (close enough to see / smell smoke), close your windows, run an air purifier if you have one, and avoid being outside unnecessarily - or wear a mask!

If you need a mask ASAP to deal with the wildfire smoke, we have a mask station at Lighthouse Books (open till 8pm)!

Please note that we currently have unreliable access to our DMs, so if you have any questions or want to request masks directly, it's best to email us

I've just been offered a dream job: doing exams in the nude while my teeth fall out.

(low-key think this is also what the 2022 layoffs and the gigantic fight over WFH mandates were about to: it's putting employees back in their place, even at loss of value, because a lot of people were alarmed at the sense of losing control over staff that their money "entitled" them to)

"If we had to operate legally we wouldn't be able to do what we're doing" is such a wild defence. Imagine going to court and that's what your lawyer came up with. Unhinged.

Arthur’s seat at the top of Holyrood Park in Edinburgh is on fire with billowing smoke.

Just looked out the window to see Holyrood Park is on fire!!!!

It was a surprise looking out of the window and seeing that I’ve gotta say (even with my partner’s startled “the park’s on fire!” beforehand)

Fingers holding aranet monitor showing a reading of 6476ppm.

Aranet now showing no CO2 reading just "Error 0x8106"

Someone has been taking their CO2 monitor to @edfringe.bsky.social shows and 😱. The CO2 @monkeybarrelcomedy.bsky.social was so high it temporarily broke the Aranet!! Should be below 800. So if anyone there was breathing out germs, a lot of people could well end up sick #AirAware #HighCO2FestivalFlu

Photo of a log with a hole in it that looks very much like the shape of a little winged fairy.

I stumbled on an old photo I took in my local park of a fairy crash site. It's not there any more - the log's rotted - but I think about that fairy often.

me as a kid: wow I can't wait until we have robots and computers for everything

me now: if this toaster makes me download an app I am slipping out into the night to start a new life as a mysterious figure occasionally glimpsed in the fog

Just a friendly terminology note gang: it's preferred that people don't use "wheelchair bound", please use "wheelchair user" instead
