Always Repost Owls 🦉

Tom Cox @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social · Aug 31

Almost certainly the best thing I was ever told about owls was when I met an owl handler at an owl sanctuary and he told me that the wild owls who lived near the sanctuary worried about the tame show owls there and sometimes stopped by to leave them shrews and mice as presents.

An owl handler I met (although not the one in my anecdote) with his beautiful owl.

Gateophilia.
A passion for gates. For their seductive promises & the wildflowers growing near them. For their varying latches and shapes & designs & the satisfying clunk they make as they are closed. For the magic tunnels of light just beyond them which often seem to hint at passage a better world.

A gate I photographed in autumn near Winkleigh in Devon

A gate on the South West Coast path, with beautiful red campion growing beside it.

The more countries wean themselves off oil imports, the harder it becomes for the United States to push them around and impose its will on them. In that sense, renewables are also about national security and a country gaining more of a say over its own affairs.

consider making yourself or obtaining a grilled cheese sandwich today

all grilled cheeses are equally pleasing before god's sight, they are the angels of small joy

I will probably be saying this for the rest of my life but I can’t imagine growing up now in a world where you have no idea if the information you encounter everywhere through photo and video is even real
