You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while. Why? Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year. Deal? 1/15 #bees

Arguably the greatest song to be recorded 4 times by 3 iterations of a band under 3 different names and in 2 languages, and then remixed once before it reached number 2 (eventually scoring a number 1 when it was covered by my mate's little brother's band a decade and a half later)

Here’s a poem about one of my cat’s poems. It’s called “On ‘,,,;;pppppp’[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’”.
On ‘,,,;;pppppp’[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’
 
Upon returning to my desk,
having left it temporarily in search of biscuits,
I discovered my cat had written
another poem on my laptop.
 
It was called ‘,,,;;pppppp’[[[[[[[[[[[[;’;////////////////////////3,’
and while it constituted one of her more difficult pieces,
it was also the kind of poem
which rewarded repeat reading.
 
I was struck by its experimental structure,
the absence of line breaks;
indeed, not one single space
between any of the poem’s 10,000 or so characters.
One of the work’s central motifs –
‘jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk’ –
was, by turns, reassuring and unsettling,
while the symbolism of ‘###################’,
 
hinted at our 21st century preoccupation with social media.
And yes, there were perhaps a few elements
which did not work: twelve whole pages
containing just the number 7 seemed a little excessive,
 
while her introduction of the character T
was not altogether convincing. But who could not be moved
by that devastating final line, its message of hope
piercing our hearts like an arrow: 333333333333333,,,

This made me smile, attached to an ordinary cast iron drainpipe on a house in Durham. #TinyJoys
A cast iron drain pipe going down the side of a white-painted house.  A crest of red feathers and a bright orange beak made from something solid have been attached around it.  It looks remarkably like "Feathers McGraw", the evil criminal penguin from The Wrong Trousers.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I was looking through old photos and found this Accidental Renaissance Painting of the cats
Three different colored cats are hanging around an armchair. their poses are reminiscent of the dramatic, sometimes contorted postures in classical art, but especially attributed to paintings from the Renaissance where these postures convey drama and movement. An orange cat is crouching beneath the chair, his head thrown back dramatically into shadow. Above, on the seat of the chair, a brown striped tabby cat reaches his paw down towards the orange cat, peering at him. Also on the seat but sat stoically on his haunches is a white and brown tabby, gazing away over his two brothers, tail draped down over the side of the chair. The composition of their poses is circular and draws the eye around, and suggests some sort of mythic art as was popular in the Renaissance as well.

Londoners, there is a webpage for you to see where your nearest "cool spaces" are when the extreme heat hits - places with water, air-conditioning & shade. Have a look and spread the word, especially to those who may need this but might not think to look for it: apps.london.gov.uk/cool-spaces/

There are, in my view, 25 things everyone needs to understand in light of recent events: 1) Those out in our communities last night were not protestors, but organised far right extremists. 2) Their actions align with fascist ideologies. 3) So yes: these are fascist practices on our streets. 🧵

I just remembered one time at the stage door after Rocky Horror he noticed that my friend was upset - she had lost her travelcard and was worried about how she was going to get home (we were about 17) and he gave her £50 to get a taxi. Just such a nice man.

I would REALLY like to see the cat road collisions petition actually get somewhere this time. Two weeks left to get it over the 100k line so ministers can't just shrug and go "nah that's just for dogs" as they have previously. Please sign and share:
petition.parliament.uk
Petition: Legislate to require drivers to report collisions with cats
It is legal in the UK to hit a cat when driving and not need to stop or report collisions, leaving them scared, alone, and in pain. Cats are important, loved, valued family members for many and we believe the law should reflect this.
