Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.
So I give you
A Bluesky exclusive:

A bouquet of lego flowers in an old tea tin. The bouquet has small white daisies, larger ox eye white daisies, and sprigs of lavender. There are lego ladybirds on the lavender. The tin is cylindrical and has a watercolour picture of an old cherry tree on a mountainside. The bouquet is set on a pale wooden table.
I bought a lego botanicals kit and built it. Finally, cut flowers that are safe from my cat 😁
😄

What wrong with them? Child effing pornography wasn't enough?! Is it worth trying "misogynistic people using photos of women teachers"?
I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
The Mail is a disgusting "news"paper.
This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal
Scotland disnae want him.
Maggie Tyers Funny you put Ramadan and eid up first. Its a Christian country first and foremost. Reply Author Bedford Borough Council Ramadan began on February 17. That is why we put our Ramadan message on social media yesterday. Lent began today, which is why our Lent message went on social media one day later. The date of Lent is determined by the church calendar, rooted in the decisions of the Council of Nicaea (325 AD). The official start of Ramadan traditionally depends on the sighting of the new crescent moon. Bedford Borough Council holds no authority over the Council of Nicaea and was not responsible for the creation of the moon 4.53billion years ago.

Autotranscripts would be better than nothing, and I know I would enjoy your podcasts. Thank you for your reply!
I clicked on your podcast link to check if you also have transcripts of the episodes. I didn't see anything so, are there transcripts too? 🤞🙏
Well, now I know why Bridge Street was called that. I'm pretty sure that's the Willow Burn.
“I’ve reviewed over 50 sticky toffee puddings” is an incredibly powerful way to begin a video

A crocheted black and orange cardigan sweater that resembles a monarch butterfly. The arms are very big and baggy so they look like wings

This is why I dipped out of the book to post:
"I grimly matched his posture, my hands just inside his. He was going to show me how to make food again, and it was going to be super easy with his help, and then I was going to stab him right in his handsome fucking face."
I love her internal voice.
I'm only about a quarter of the way through Silver & Blood by @jessiemihalik.com and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. A desperate heroine who isn't so straight that you could use her as a ruler, a grumpy yet kind hero, and a fascinating magical world.
The message from the stars was very long and complex, but contained instructions how to decode and parse it incrementally.
There was an image, of a very cute furry creature. And a text, which loosely translated said:
"Send cat pics please!'

Good god. We've spent a decade with the British media - including the BBC - claiming that the 'gender critical' movement wanted to 'protect women and girls'.
And it turns out Jeffrey Epstein was funding part of it.

Chart of the result in Orkney at the 1999 Scottish Parliament election. The Lib Dems won 67.4%, Conservatives 15.6%, SNP 10.3% and Labour 6.7%. Text on the chart reads: "With Orkney an Independent constituency at the newly founded Scottish Parliament, Wallace steamrollered his opponents with a whopping two-thirds share of the vote."
Chart of the result in Orkney at the 1999 Scottish Parliament election. The Lib Dems won 45.7%, Conservatives 23.8%, SNP 13.2%, Scottish Socialist 11.4% and Labour 5.9%. Text on the chart reads: "Four years in government under his belt and the excitement of the 'Rainboe Parliament' election cut Wallace's majority a fair bit, but posed no real challenge."
A true believer in Devolution, Wallace made the jump to the new Scottish Parliament in 1999 representing the Orkney Islands alone. Entering coalition as Deputy First Minister, he served in that post until stepping down as party leader in 2005. He retired in 2007, taking up a peerage shortly after.
Chart of the result in Orkney and Shetland at the 1983 UK Parliament election. The Liberals won 45.9%, Conservative 25.9%, SNP 15.4% and Labour 13.1%. Text on the chart reads: "Longstanding Liberal MP, and former party leader, Jo Grimond retired at this election, and his successor easily held on but without the same depth of support (-10.5%)"
Chart of the result in Orkney and Shetland at the 1987 UK Parliament election. The Liberals won 41.7%, Conservative 23.3%, Labour 18.7%, Orkney and Shetland Movement 14.5, and the Greens 1.8%. Text on the chart reads: "Although the SNP stood aside for the 'Orkney and Shetland Movement' at the next election, that had little impact on the outcome."
Chart of the result in Orkney and Shetland at the 1992 UK Parliament election. The Lib Dems won 46.4%, Conservative 22.0%, Labour 19.8%, SNP 11.2% and Natural Law 0.6%. Text on the chart reads: "In his first outing for the newly united Liberal Democrats, Wallace again placed far ahead of his competitors."
Chart of the result in Orkney and Shetland at the 1997 UK Parliament election. The Lib Dems won 52.0%, Labour 18.3%, SNP 12.7%, Conservatives 12.2%, Referendum 4.0%, Natural Law 0.6% and an Independent 0.3%. Text on the chart reads: "In the Devolution-delivering 1997 election, Wallace managed to win an absolute majority of the vote for the first time."
Wallace was first elected to the UK Parliament in 1983 as a Liberal, taking over in Orkney and Shetland from Jo Grimond who had been the MP for 33 years, and leader of the Liberals for over a decade of that. Wallace didn't match Grimond's popularity, but was easily elected to Westminster four times.
Very sad news that Jim Wallace, Scotland's inaugural Deputy First Minister, has died suddenly. Not only did he lead his party into government for the first time in decades, but he held down the fort after the death and resignation of the first two First Ministers. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
