How does it feel coordinating one of the big evils of society, alongside… The Welfare State and the USA?
![“The English Mistery ("Mistery" being an old word for a guild) was a political and esoteric group active in the United Kingdom of the 1930s. A "Conservative fringe group" in favour of bringing back the feudal system,[1] its views have been characterised as "reactionary, ultra-royalist, and anti-democratic".[2] The organisation was opposed to social welfare, the London School of Economics, and the United States.“](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:sak6f5kmtl56f4cagopygavr/bafkreieq4halrp6fvxdfuae5phkbozn6oy6kqaxakekwiobyxbqzykxz3q@jpeg)

My mundane birding white whale was getting a good photo of a Red-Winged Blackbird. They’re a common bird I’ve seen loads of but every picture I’ve previously taken something has gone wrong, it’s out of focus etc, like I trying to photograph the Loch Ness Monster. Anyway I finally did it! #birds
