Any tadpole behaviourologists on Blue Sky @chrisgpackham.bsky.social ?! Why do the tadpoles in my pond come to burrow en masse in pebbles at edge of pond in the daytime? Temperature? Food source? (although not obviously different from other sections)

@candygourlay.bsky.social Just had a lovely lunch date with my 3 yr old great nephew who told me ALL about the funny author he met yesterday and her adventures in her grandmother's cupboard (hopefully I'm not conflating two of his stories). He'd clearly had a brilliant time listening to you.

Lovely. Actually son's first school trip in Reception was to the tip and I don't think it got better than that for any subsequent trip.

Anyone got any info on when @netflix.com will be adding more episodes of #TheFirstFrost ? I can see episodes 11 is already out but their listing stops at 10. Frustrating.

Middlemarch for the third time. Me, first quarter: "Why did I think this was the best book? So many characters and impenetrable politics and Dorothea is a prig" Me, final quarter: "This is the best book - so funny, so sad, so WISE." But Dorothea and Will are a bit silly - I'm all Team Garth now.

It's definitely satisfying sign off and worth bringing back into wider use. I reckon it might allow a speedier exit of some meetings?

"We must keep on running" Having read manhwa I am hyped for this dialed to 11 nonsense. Predicting they *will* keep on running.

UM, I had NO idea facebook was tracking everything I did on the internet. EVERYTHING. I have diligently blocked and followed all ways to try to stop this messed up social media from taking from me, but this is the final straw… THESE JERKS! AGH! [screenshots on how to do it in the comments]

PLEASE PLEASE disconnect activity tracking on Facebook. It's how they track everything you do off Facebook, every purchase you make, every website you visit so they can make money off your data and serve you more ads.
I found out they had my BANK ACCOUNT, credit card, and ovulation tracking information.
! Here's how to deactivate it:

Part of the enduring appeal of the works of Jane Austen is that it reflects simpler times, when things like the truth could be universally acknowledged.

Frank Skinner. Surprisingly large crowd and a lot of press there for him. There was no malice in his licking- he knew I'd take it in the spirit in which he offered it.

Dreamt that Frank Skinner very carefully licked the exterior of my right nostril following a breakdancing display at the Children's Bookshop.

In Star Wars they should have made all the spaceships black with white dots to camouflage them from other space ships. Missed a trick there.

If you're prepared to lean in hard to the nonsense the rewards are high. It's a ride and YYS is doing some tremendous emoting throughout.

Could not be enjoying the utter utter nonsense of #WhenThePhoneRings more. Highly recommend if anyone needs a Betwixtmas melodrama binge dialled to 11.
