Older than all of y’all. She/her. I squeal about the child. A lot. I also post pics of things (mostly plants, bugs, the odd mushroom, sometimes birds) I find on my walks. Often sweary.

A Green Heron with all colors in full display. There’s so much more than just green to this striking bird.

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.
Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.

This is the official US response to Petro's comments.
PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Trump calls Colombian President Petro an ‘illegal drug dealer’ and announces an end to US aid to the country.

A beautiful species of Tarantula Hawk at @tapirvalley.bsky.social #CostaRica the other day. Difficult to get a sharp shot, as they like the dark and they're constantly moving, hunting tarantulas.

Exactly this.
Looking for an exit strategy at 65 was not on my bingo card.
I genuinely find this very worrying, as someone with settled status! sure, Lam probably won't be home secretary tomorrow, but the mood music is changing, you can feel it, and I just don't trust Labour to fight like hell on our behalf, so unclear where this is going to go
Lam hears "settled status" and "guaranteed by withdrawal treaty" as up for grabs:understood to be temporary "provisional arrangements" which can be transitional and unsettled if and when you want to

That is highly counterintuitive as language of 'settled', as law & as politics of Treaty guarantees.

The "oven ready deal" is now a "live conversation"
Zia Yusuf exenpts EU settled status from deportation. Vague and contradictory on welfare.

Lam thinks settled status is provisional. Would exclude settled status Europeans from welfare. Her view from the frontbench might not be party policy, which is now not clear

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction.

My friends, they have lost the flag.
One and a half eps into this, and i don’t think my boy Minghao’s face can make me stay watching.
It’s dire.
Good morning, my beautiful Fae boy.
