Since yesterdays' Edinburgh shots were such a hit, here's a few more from the same reel. These are from 16mm film shot in 1938. Please share with anyone who would enjoy these First up some street scenes. I love the normalness of it. People are just going about their day. #Film #History #Edinburgh

It’s the time of year when you might find a baby bird and want to help. Most often (and slightly counterintuitively) it’s best to do nothing. Here’s a useful guide.

An infographic with information on what to do if you find a baby bird.
Is it visibly injured? If yes, contact an animal welfare organisation. If no: does it have feathers? If yes, it’s a fledgling. If it’s in immediate danger, move it to a sheltered spot nearby. If no, do nothing.
If it doesn’t have feathers, it’s a nestling. If you can see a nest, put it back in the nest. If not, contact an animal welfare organisation.

So much for free speech. Let's make this cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social go viral. I'm married to @tealcartoons.bsky.social so I might be biased, but cartoons have long played a vital role in shaping political debate - both past and present. This type of censorship is deeply troubling.

Screenshot of a tweet from Mike Luckovich informing people that this his cartoon was taken down by Twitter/X due to violation of guidelines. The cartoon shows Elon Musk with bags of money behind him. Standing in front of him are three emaciated figures holding empty bowls that read "World's poorest." Musk is saying to them: "No more free lunch!"

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.

With the gusts almost touching 100mph in the Forth today, please enjoy the dramatic painting "Inchkeith on the Forth in a Fresh Gale" by Major John Gabriel Steadman, dated 29th March 1781.

18th century watercolour. Small boats struggle in a stormy sea. The foremost boat is a rowboat and appears to be trying to rerieve the body of a woman floating in the water infront of it. The swell and waves are severe. In the background are larger sailing ships riding the storm, and further back the outline of an island. The seas are green and violent. The sky is black and threatening, with lightning strikes painted through it. Credit National Galleries of Scotland.
