The Baby mid-vertical leap at a cabbage white butterfly. She is built like a fat little torpedo

The Baby eyeing up said butterfly in anticipation of another pounce. She looks like a little racehorse

The Baby go SPROING

The Baby attempts to eat a butterfly. The butterfly attempts to not be eaten. Nobody is having an enjoyable time

My tiny idiot daughter hunts and attempts to eat a butterfly

“wait”

“Haha that guy is wearing a funny mask”

Imagine being a regular ol’ shark and seeing a hammerhead for the first time

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!" This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows: Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity. When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers. Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

A so-called “harpy eagle” which is clearly just a short person in a fursuit. They have some sort of ankle manacles on, which is presumably a kink thing. They are most likely a software engineer.

Do we have any compelling proof that harpy eagles are not just short wealthy furries playing a dastardly little trick on everyone

I have a phobia of bees and if my phone rang and the screen said “Bees” I think I might die.

BEWARE THE HIVES OF MARCH

It absolutely leapt into mine the moment I read it

Dial B for…bees

BEES The BEE colonies were looking strong going into Winter, but when I went to check them in early February, I found that four of the hives had died out. The final hive looks healthy but I never count the bees until March.

put me in your phone under Bees

More from Pip in the newsletter. Every line a banger

A printed sign on the allotment notice board which just says “Bee Swarm”, new line, “Call”, new line, “Pip”

I have recently come into an allotment and let me tell you: it is deeply silly

There are a lot of kinda mid children out there.

The jellyfish was robbed

I for one believe in the rights of the ugly child. The grotesque. The right munter from straight out the womb. When will it be their moment

Statistically not all children are beautiful

People are always being described as having “two beautiful children” or “three beautiful children” but they never say how many ugly children they have

They call it “original Italian flavour” or somesuch

CAT you can buy the proper stuff on Ocado!!! I just ordered an unreasonable amount of cases

YES

I’m speaking truth to power

Bane of my LIFE

Am I wrong

WhatsApp screenshot of messages I just sent, reading: Fuck Jamie Oliver right in the eyeball He knows what he did Ruined my FUCKING LIFE

i hate stevia so much

it tastes like a lemon menstruating

They haunt me

I keep thinking up great punchlines but can’t make a setup to match them. So far:

* the repercussion section
* vice cubes
* a leperchaun

It’s too hot

My plans mostly consist of applying ice cubes to myself and complaining

Go to hell
