This Blue Tit would like your attention, briefly.

📷 @aintright.bsky.social

A plump Blue Tit perched on a rough tree trunk, its feathers puffed up against the cold. The bird’s yellow chest looks bright and round, with a deep blue cap and white face framed by a bold black eye stripe. Its small, serious expression gives it the air of a tiny guardian of the woods. It looks as though it’s just confidently appeared in your feed.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

It’s actually incredible that as a society we never managed to find the political will to force elected officials to tell the truth on TV.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

How would you react if someone decided you’d no longer have water treatment & plumbing?

That you’d be rolling a dice with water from your faucet. That you’d have to poop in a bucket & dump it in the street, your yard, a ditch.

You’d probably be horrified & outraged, right?
