I'm in a group chat of extremely amateur artists that re-forms once a year to do Inktober. No pressure, no skill requirements, just for fun. If you like scribbling I recommend it, it's always fun to see what people come up with. I combine days to make it less daunting. Apple / Relic / Miniature

@badmachinery.com I got my daughter the first Wicked Things which she has now read 6 times and is asking for the rest, however I'm struggling to find them for sale anywhere, are they out of print or am I being an idiot?

It's definitely completely cool and fine that 50% of the news is "guys the biosphere is mid-collapse, hope you like cockroaches and war" and 50% is "beautiful new AI datacentres to carpet that waste of space Berkshire and drive unprecedentedly awesome growth"

"Your prescription only came in yesterday, it will be 15 - 20 minutes" I will never understand why this is. Any pharmacists shed any light on why printing a label and sticking it on a box of pills takes 15 minutes? If I'm the only person in there?

I thought this was just a coincidental sighting of a caterpillar hitching a lift on a snail, but I think it's actually the snail-predating larva of a false firefly beetle Drilus flavescens, quite rare nationally apparently!

My theory is that everyone's rage is created by car design and pareidolia. If you notice, nearly all cars have headlights slanted up to various degrees of anger / aggression. We spend huge amounts of our time is stressful situations surrounded by the angry faces of things that could easily kill us

Filling in daughter's flu consent form, and on the list of surgeries to choose from there is "Bird in Eye Surgery". Now I'm no doctor but that feels more like a case for A&E rather than a GP

The unique awkwardness of sharing a small lift with an attractive woman you see around the building but don't actually know, but have just had an incredibly vivid dream about where you were both fleeing a dinosaur attack in a post-apocalyptic wasteland

"They march around waving their banners. They have this ridiculous salute. And they work up these poor men like Frank until they think they're doing something wonderful and patriotic" This Poirot episode from 1992 talking about the Blackshirts is a bit on the nose

Hey everyone, the RNLI is under fire again from the worst, dumbest and most pathetic arseholes in the country. If you or anyone you love has ever gone in the sea in any way, consider donating. Or do it because you hate fascism, either works. rnli.org/support-us/g...

The hardest thing to stomach about all these far right protests is not that they are happening, because there will always be cunts, but that they are getting bigger and braver and more aggressive because of the ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC response from the government and police

The RNLI have some of the best people in Britain volunteering for them. They put their lives on the line when they are called on and they will rescue anyone who needs them. Because every life matters, and offering help is the right thing to do. You can donate here: rnli.org

Two apps tell me this is a Queen of Spain Fritillary but as that is apparently a scarce migrant I wonder if any clever people could help confirm? Maybe @bernoid.bsky.social can or knows someone?

Just a comment from a randomer that brought this to mind, but at what point did merely "working" become insufficient, and we were all expected to be doing the apparently morally superior "grafting"
