We were blessed with a The Bear-a-like for a few years, a very gentle, shy, sweet natured ex-stray called Bertie. As fans of The Bear and your books, I’d frequently get recycled ‘why my cat is sad’ captions with pics of Bertie from my mum and sister. (Miss you, Bertie Beans)

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😎

A pink and purple unicorn toy the size of a toddler is slightly slumped in an old-timey metal bath. A stationary engine that is mostly rust-coloured is pumping water round at about the rate of a tap. Other rust-coloured doo hickeys and wasamajigs lurk in the background.

First time mum went to my dad's parents, my dad found her talking to grandad about bonsai. Grandad never mentioned this before so he assumed mum had brought it up. He developed an elaborate interest in bonsai to impress her, to her bewilderment. My autistic grandad had misunderstood 'small talk'.

on Sophie Cunningham and a trans controversy that doesn't involve any actual trans people: defector.com/the-right-ha...
This rhetoric is ideal for listeners who believe trans women are an issue that they're supposed to care about, but don't actually have any real-world experience with them. The hypothetical trans girl who's supposedly causing all this trouble in the WNBA is the perfect tool for the conservative movement. She can't fight back, she can't disprove anyone's assumptions, and she can't garner sympathy when she's the target of hate. The perfect trans girl is the one who only exists in the imagination of the loudest cis people. Her monstrousness, the need to "protect young girls in a locker room" from her, gives them permission to enact policies that in reality only harm the anonymous girls, cis and trans, who want to play sports without the invasive scrutiny of gender-obsessed adults.

What appears to be a 5 lamp chandelier made out of short deer horns?? All the plastic parts are painted with streaky pain to look like horn texture. It's on top of an outdoor public bin, specifically on the ash tray bit.What appears to be a 5 lamp chandelier made out of short deer horns??

I will continue to be excited by graphs like this one. It shows UK electricity demand over the past 24 hours (white line) and the amount that is supplied by renewables (green). It reached 90% in the middle of the night & was 80% for much of the day. 🎉🎉🎉. Still lots more to do, but we’re on the way.
