A Kingfisher has chosen your feed for reasons known only to Kingfishers. Today is a good day.
A Kingfisher perches on a slender branch above still water, its vivid blue feathers and rich orange chest glowing in the sunlight. Looking towards the camera, it appears mildly curious.

Finished yet another Sue Lynn Tan book today, this one was called 'Never Ever After' and it's a cross between Chinese fantasy and Cinderella. Really enjoyed it and ngl, did not see a particular twist coming (which is rare for me) Now just got to wait for the 2nd book 🫠

Today we're trying to balance my need for a hot water bottle (cramps) vs the warm and stuffy office environment. And particularly fun is the addition of sensory issues e.g. fan blowing on me is bad today 🫠

Ask Steve anything in the comments. (Answers will be limited to Aye or Arrrgh.)

Today my body truly hates me. Not only did I have a broken night, but also a very badly upset stomach just as I left for work and then an early appearance by my period as well. I've dragged myself thru today by my fingernails. So glad I'm nearly home 🫠😭

Steve is in the garden, smelling the flowers. It's been a peaceful day so far actually.
A color photograph shows Steve, a small brown otter wearing a colorful peace-sign harness and leash, leaning on an orange planter to sniff bright pink cyclamen flowers against a stone wall.

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

FFVII - the original version I'd been playing consoles and the occasional PC game before this - just things like Sonic or Lemmings. But they were just a bit of fun FFVII showed me that games could have stories that grabbed you and didn't let go, and break your heart. And the music as well 💕 🎶

#FreeKeith
An on-screen social media post shows a live-action otter standing at the edge of a grassy pond in a lighthearted, meme-style format.

Text baked into the image reads:

“This is Keith, he lives in Chester zoo. I adopted Keith 3 years ago. Imagine my disappointment when I turned up at the zoo to take him out for the day yesterday only to be told ’That’s not how it works’. I’d booked tickets to see The Odyssey..”

[Below the otter photo are icons and counts: a heart with “151,” a comment bubble with “10,” and a retweet symbol with “3.”]

Otter News ✔️ @in_otternews  
“Well, break Keith out? C’mon, man! Do you want to spend time with Keith or not?”
