🧵Spotted During the School Holidays in Aotearoa New Zealand: A rotund and spotty pony (Shetland cross toadstool?) has a rather itchy bottom and has decided the BEST scratching post possible is the foreleg of a large shaggy Clydesdale horse. Big Horse appears content with this arrangement.

Did space weather delay a train in 1841? – Physics World
It would have been the earliest example of space weather impacting human technology, but an international team of researchers found a slight problem

I’m only seeing people with ME or Long Covid sharing this. If you’re not affected, can you please read it & share? Ableist propaganda goes viral all the time, which encourages outlets to publish more of it. Can we please make the truth go viral instead?

Can I have some legitimate concerns please? Hello, UK government, I have a legitimate concern that temperatures will rise to a level that destroys many already-struggling nations, leading us in to an era of food scarcity wars. And now we wait for Andy Burnham to act on my legitimate concerns😎

"What are the peasants' demands?" the king asked. "Fair taxes, stronger rights, fewer privileges for nobles." "Bollocks! Send knights out to disperse them." "They have dragons, sire." "What?" "The dragons claim a more equal society is more stable and prosperous." "They hoard countries now?"

"Here," the witch said. She gave her girlfriend a small pearl. "I made it for you." "What is it?" "A small blessing. It can make a small change to you. Just think of what you want and swallow it." "Could it give me wings?" "That's too big." Her girlfriend swallowed the pearl, and began to purr.

Can confirm that this squeeze stile I encountered in Edale last week was indeed a squeeze... 🪨 😬 🪨 #RockinTuesday #Hiking #PeakDistrict #ECK #EastCoastKin
Portrait-oriented,  3:4 photo.

A stile between a concrete gate post on the left and a dry stone wall on the right.
It is made up of two vertical, flat pieces of stone with a gap between them. The gap is narrower at the bottom than the top.There is a third vertical piece of stone in front of the gap, separated from it by a narrow space.

The stile allows walkers to pass from one field to another without opening the metal farm gate on the left.Across the field on the other side are farm buildings, trees and a hill. The sky above is blue with some clouds. It is a sunny day.
