Some more foggy autumnal trees from this morning. Such lovely conditions :) #Fog #Berkhamsted #AwesomeFoursome

A silver birch in the middle with white trunk, lots of nice yellow leaves, and some fog in sunny light.

Before sunrise a foggy-ish scene with a smattering of yellow leaves and some orange and green ferns.

Backlit woodland scene with a path to the right and some bushes covered in cobwebs.

Lovely pendulous silver birch side-lit by the sun and a bit foggy. Touches of yellow leaves.

Had a great time at #Wayword book festival today (Sea Shanties; Katalina Watt & Anbara Salam; Hannah Kaner & Georgia Leighton), and what incredible views there are from the top floor of the Duncan Rice library! Picked up Anbara's queer marine archaeologist book because I mean, of course?!

High up view of a city, gray skies, grey buildings, a few trees

High up view towards the sea. Some high blocks of flats, grey skies, a bird flying

Up next on Radio 4 Extra (and BBC Sounds): 1995 serialisation of Susan Cooper’s Over Sea Under Stone with Ronald Pickup and Struan Rodger www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b... (For me, The Dark Is Rising is by far the better book, but this is the better adaptation of the two they did)

Absolutely magical up at Frithsden Beeches this morning. Autumn is such a beautiful time of year to be in woodlands. #Berko #Fog #TreesinMist

A large pendulous silver birch tree with some yellow leaves and big dead branch visible falling behind. Below are ferns - mostly green but some yellow and red ones. Behind it is foggy and bright.

Just saw Larry Dean's show and it was brilliant. I usually don't enjoy people being rude about Birmingham because it's often lazy but if you've gone to the trouble of marrying a guy from the Black Country first then I know you're not just picking an easy punchline

What I always find fascinating about this stuff is that the "non-brewed condiment" label isn't, as you'd think, to do with modern food-labelling laws. It's because of the temperance movement more than a century ago.

They've changed the time of the Saturday morning bus so that it gets in 25 mins before the SWAN meetup starts but the one after would get me there after it starts and even though it's a drop in and you don't have to get there on time, in my head I absolutely do have to get there on time

What I don't get with the whole "AI is sentient" slop that they're trying to sell us is--surely if AI were sentient, it would be a living being and as such humans wouldn't be allowed to exploit AI with no pay, no rest and no workers rights?

Disability doesn’t care how old you are. Specialist food is no cheaper if you’re 19. Employers don’t lose their prejudice if you’re 21. This is blatant intergenerational inequality from Labour. Younger disabled people of all severities deserve better. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Exactly. THE NIGHTWARD was inspired by Caribbean MYTHOLOGY, yet reviews said they couldn't 'see' the 'Caribbean' in it. I told you it was a secondary world sci fantasy, so excuse me? What even were your expectations? Coconut trees? Beaches? I mean... I'm not a tour guide & this ain't Burger King.

If I had gotten hit by a car to get this photo it would have been worth it

A man in a black helmet and khaki motorcycle gear rides his motorcycle down a street in Manhattan. In the motorcycle’s sidecar, a dog that looks like a heeler mix stands at attention with his front paws up on the front of the sidecar, his eyes protected by a set of khaki motorcycle goggles. The dog is wearing a harness that sort of looks like a biker vest. He appears to be having the time of his life.

I saw this sign posted on Tumblr and thought "is that a chainsaw, or is it in fact an extremely hardcore duck?"

A photo of a sign that indicates "no chainsaws allowed", made from a stylized image of a chainsaw surrounded by a red circle with a diagonal line through it. The photo was taken by the person who runs the qualitysigns.tumblr.com blog in Doncaster, UK, in 2025.

A picture of a duck by me. The duck's head is shaped like the chainsaw from the sign in the previous image and the rest of the duck is spiky and studded to match. The caption says "chainsaw duck".
