As with every hot dog ever.

😂 You had me going there! I didn't know if you had gone mad or if I had. Then I read the repost...

I forget what this was for. DMs? I took it as good security, watching for bots, keeping them away from our DMs, but I understand your hesitation/outright refusal and I forget about credit cards. Why??? @safety.bsky.app

Or anywhere else I’ve ever been. Even if they’re not friends, and these two actually had contact with each other. It says more, I think, about the character and his choice to be reclusive and mysterious than what it’s like to be a farmer in Ambridge. #TheArchers

Very useful app, and by the sounds of it, for people who are going to protest where cell towers might get shut down and prevent you from making contact with your friends.

Briar uses Bluetooth to allow contact even when the cell towers are shut down.

Iontach! GRMA.

There is something to be said for being visible when you're out in the sticks. Or in this case, in the lack of sticks.

And I am ready to eat every one!

😀

And to make it small, would you just put “-ín" on the end? (I know it can't possibly be that easy.)

Mael Brigde - 𝘢𝘬𝘢 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘺 🇨🇦 @maelbrigde.bsky.social · 1d

That will be a nice Samhain activity!

I thought Thomas was talking about David handing over the farm. Of course he meant Mulligan. Doh. #TheArchers

Mael Brigde - 𝘢𝘬𝘢 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘺 🇨🇦 @maelbrigde.bsky.social · 1d

Not surprising in Akram, only in David. #TheArchers

To be fair, he didn't know the man's name, either. #TheArchers

How is @signal.org a secure app to have on my phone if I can’t log in and out of it without unlinking the device? If my phone is stolen, I don’t want anyone else to have access to my messages. With another app, I could simply enter my password and log in when I want to use it. What's up here?

I don't think the SWs could get away with two power handovers in one season, could they? #TheArchers

Love this. I want a support cow!
I met a 14 year old sheep on Sunday. She is a “nanny” sheep & keeps an eye on all the lambs - pushing them back to their mums if they strayed. She’s very friendly & enjoyed a good scratch!

Hence, rumination. ☺️

Mael Brigde - 𝘢𝘬𝘢 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘺 🇨🇦 @maelbrigde.bsky.social · 2d

😱

Mael Brigde - 𝘢𝘬𝘢 𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘦𝘺 🇨🇦 @maelbrigde.bsky.social · 2d

Ah, I see.

I use the #SmallBeauties a lot and I confess that I interpret it however I *feel* like interpretting it at the moment. But at heart, I think it would be about noticing the beauty in small things. And yes, I was looking for an Irish equivalent.

Happy vapour trails, eagles!

We need a timeline cleanse. Post a photo of the sun.🌞
